Movies, Meng'er Zhang, Shang-Chi, Xialing By Brittany Knupper on Sat,2:45 She has the ultimate science-fiction bob. The bad bitch bob. The blunt bangs and sharp A-line edges that tell you she is going to kick your ass, take your empire for herself, and she won’t even smudge her lipstick. The smooth order of the bob belies her true chaotic neutral alignment. Sometimes she fights for the good guys, and sometimes the bad, her only allegiance is to herself. She is the femme fatale of the sci-fi realm. The post Meng’er Zhang and the History of the Bad Bitch Bob first appeared on The Mary Sue. Big on the Internet, adults, birthday, Twitter By Brittany Knupper on Sat,12:17 That’s right, we are going to talk about “Birthday Adults.” In 2019 (which in internet time was approximately 57 years ago), Katie Hearney wrote a scathing, humorous take down of people who celebrate “birthday weeks” or worse, “birthday months” for The Cut. And because New York Magazine (much like Marie Kondo) loves mess, they decided to stir the pot and re-share the article. The results were… not surprising.

Playing the show's lead, Rose Hathaway is Sisi Stringer. With a Black woman leading her upcoming series it is as good a time as any to discuss Julie Plec's track record on Black characters.

AMP Featured, Movies, Spider-Man, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey Maguire By Rachel Leishman on Fri,11:02 Personally, I can't wait until Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker is disgusted by it and Tom Holland's Peter Parker has some weird thing to say that starts with "COOL." The post Can’t Wait for the Other Spider-Men to Realize Tobey Maguire’s Peter Has Webs Coming Out of His Arms first appeared on The Mary Sue. TV, Apple TV, Roy Kent, Ted Lasso By Princess Weekes on Fri,10:55 Ted Lasso's latest episode "Headspace" shows us men accepting responsibility for their failures—as well as one being a total asshole. The post Ted Lasso Continues To Illustrate Why Roy Kent Is the Perfect Male Lead—And Why Nate Sucks first appeared on The Mary Sue. TV, Jason Todd, Titans (live-action series) By Princess Weekes on Fri,10:41 What will matter going forward is how the choices that Jason has made will impact the way Dick chooses to lead the Titans. He is struggling to not be Batman, but now that Batman has killed the Joker, that line is just waiting to be crossed again. The post Can Jason Todd Be Redeemed on Titans—And Does It Matter? first appeared on The Mary Sue.

TV, Brett Goldstein, Roy Kent, Ted Lasso By Rachel Leishman on Thu,5:12 Roy Kent is easily my favorite character on Ted Lasso (followed quickly by Sam Obisanya) and if he was CGI, I think I would have a crisis that I might never come back from. The post Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent, Brett Goldstein, Is a Very Real Man first appeared on The Mary Sue. Big on the Internet, Grimace, mascots, McDonalds By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,3:25 I think the evidence speaks for itself: Grimace is nothing but a fluffy outer shell that, when shaved down, is actually Steve Bannon.
