Movies, Captain Marvel (movie), Wonder Woman By Princess Weekes on Tue,1:54 I didn't love Wonder Woman and I only feel mildly excited about Captain Marvel, but that doesn't make the movies invalid. Movies, SEGA, Sonic the Hedgehog, Twitter By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,1:30 Ever since the first images of Sonic the Hedgehog were released, we've had questions. Movies, Captain Marvel By Rachel Leishman on Tue,11:55 I can't say I'm surprised that the negative reviews of Captain Marvel are written by men. Movies, Disney, Disney princesses By Princess Weekes on Tue,11:29 Over the weekend, it was shared that Disney is hearing the hype around doing a Disney Princess crossover movie, but we need some more love the non-Disney Princesses. TV, Queen Victoria By Lacy Baugher on Tue,10:48 Period costume dramas don’t have to be dry retellings of the events of long ago, and PBS series Victoria is proof positive of that. While the series does occasionally invent plot points from whole cloth (the entirety of Season 3’s Feodora mess, for example), it is largely dedicated to telling historical stories in a way that resonates with modern audiences, and using the lens of past to interrogate present-day issues. Movies, Captain Marvel (movie) By Kate Gardner on Tue,9:00 "Higher, further, faster, baby." News, parenting, Terry Crews By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:54 Terry Crews has spent a week arguing about the importance of "paternal and maternal" love, but his choice of words has some insulting implications. Big on the Internet, LGBTQ Representation, The Eternals, things we saw today By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:49 Could this be the fabled LGBT+ representation that we've been hoping for in the series? Movies, Captain Marvel By Rachel Leishman on Mon,4:36 Are we shocked that conservative commentator Jack Posobeic has a problem with Captain Marvel? Was there a part of you that thought he'd be all for it? TV, John Mulaney, Pete Davidson, Saturday Night Live By Rachel Leishman on Mon,3:24 The time has come and passed again for John Mulaney to take on hosting Saturday Night Live, and boy did he deliver. Comics, Birds of Prey, Black Canary, Dinah Lance By Princess Weekes on Mon,2:55 For The Mary Sue's celebration of superheroines we love for Women's History Month, Princess Weekes starts us off with her love for Black Canary. News, Ilhan Omar, Muslims, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Mon,2:32 Rep. Ilhan Omar is one of the first two Muslim women and the first Somali-American elected to Congress, and she faces attacks not just from regular hateful Americans, but from within the GOP itself. Movies, Shazam By Kate Gardner on Mon,2:09 The second trailer for the upcoming release teases the film's villain, played by the always reliable Mark Strong, and the Shazam family, though we don't know if they'll take on their superhero forms. |
