News, Anita Hill, Joe Biden, sexual harassment By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:41 Since it was rumored that former Vice President Joe Biden would enter the 2020 presidential race, the specter of his treatment of Anita Hill, along with inappropriate touching allegations, have hovered over him, and it doesn't look like they're going away anytime soon. Movies, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse By Kate Gardner on Fri,1:23 There's a lot to love about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, from Miles Morales to Spider-Ham. One of the best twists in the film was Doctor Olivia Octavius, a.k.a. Doc Ock. Now comes the news that we may not have seen the last of her. TV, bad guys, Netflix, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:13 Season one deliberately approached Catra's story with just as much empathy as Adora's and that decision essentially made the show what it is. This season goes far to give humanity and nuance to the rest of the show's baddies. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Justice League, Zach Snyder By Princess Weekes on Fri,12:42 Avengers: Endgame is currently taking over the world, but it makes this longtime DC Comics fan hope that one day we'll get a second chance at Justice League. Movies, Avengers Spoilers, Avengers: Endgame, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Fri,12:26 Look, I get it; we don't want to be spoiled. I actively told our editors that if I didn't get into a press screening for Avengers: Endgame, I wouldn't come into work for two days because I wasn't going to be spoiled like I was with Infinity War last year, but someone saying that a movie is good is ... not a spoiler. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Harley Keener, Iron Man 3 By Rachel Leishman on Fri,11:56 It has come to my attention that not everyone else loves random characters in the MCU, so when a certain character showed up at the end of Avengers: Endgame, some people were confused. News, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Fri,11:06 On Wednesday, alongside several leading Democratic presidential candidates, Elizabeth Warren spoke at the She the People conference, one of the first presidential events to centralize the experiences and conditions of women of color. Big on the Internet, Avengers: Endgame, Google, Thanos By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,11:00 Google is getting in on the Avengers: Endgame fun with a neat browser-based Easter egg when you search for "Thanos" on the service. Movies, The MCU By Kate Gardner on Fri,10:00 Given that I'm trying to keep a lid on all Avengers themed spoilers until Saturday at the earliest, I cannot give you my thoughts on Avengers: Endgame. However, in the meantime, I will continue to yell about the previous 21 films, because who among us isn't reliving some Marvel themed nostalgia as we get closer and closer to the big day? Big on the Internet, Avengers: Endgame, Elizabeth Warren, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,5:56 If you were lucky enough to score a Thursday night ticket, you could be on your way to Avengers: Endgame right now. TV, Good Omens, Neil Gaiman, nuns By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,5:52 The 'Good Omens' sisters sing the a capella praises of the Antichrist, calling him "adorable, cheeky, squishy" and other cloying descriptions. AMP Featured, News, Republicans, Twitter, white nationalism By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:47 If Republicans can't tell the difference between an attack on their politics and an attack on bigotry and domestic terrorism, well, maybe that's a sign that they need to stop and reflect on their choices. Gaming, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm By Princess Weekes on Thu,4:51 There has been a lot of conversation about the women of Mortal Kombat and whether they're "as hot as they used to be," and as far as I'm concerned, Mortal Kombat 11 has some of the best character and costume designs of the bunch—but their fatalities are truly great. Big on the Internet, Figure Ska, FitSpirit, Tessa Virtue By Rachel Leishman on Thu,4:41 An amazing skater and so much more, Tessa Virtue is one of those Olympians that I seemingly cannot get enough of. Sponsored, Spotify, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Thu,4:19 Road trip DJs, unite. Housewarming party heroes, gather ‘round. Shower singers, this one’s for you too. If your playlists are unmatched—whether you’re at a house party or just in your own bathtub—you need a music player that ensures you don’t miss a beat. And that means not being tethered to your smartphone. Meet the Mighty: the first on-the-go Spotify music player that lets you stream your favorite playlists without your smartphone and without an internet connection. News, trans rights, Trump, women's rights By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,4:04 The Trump administration is rolling back sexual health and reproductive healthcare for rape victims via a U.N. resolution while hurting trans folks back home. Movies, Avengers, fandom, shipping By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,3:20 Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' came out nearly seven years ago, helping to kickstart one of the biggest online fandoms to date. The shape that fandom took back then would be almost unrecognizable today. Let's take a trip down memory lane. Movies, Bond 25, Daniel Craig, James Bond, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek By Rachel Leishman on Thu,3:09 For many of us, learning about the world of James Bond has been a time-honored past time that we look forward to with each new film. Now, it is so ingrained in the cultural minds that we want to have a new Bond film every other year. AMP Featured, Comics, Darth Vader, Star Wars (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Thu,3:08 The latest issue of Vader: Dark Visions more than proved that there need to be more women working on the comics, as it shows a stunning lack of consideration for women. Big on the Internet, Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel (movie), How It Should Have Ended By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,2:52 I could watch a whole movie of Superman and Batman sniping at each other and being passive-aggressive, which is unfortunately not what happened in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. |
