So, are we getting the Spider-Verse? Who knows? If we do, I expect a Miles Morales casting sooner rather than later, but until we know more, I'll take Zendaya and Jimmy Kimmel going back and forth with Kimmel trying to get her to spill the secrets.

I think the story wanted to show with her return that Jolene, another underdog, made it after Beth left and had her own story to tell. But it rings false when, onscreen, she feels like a token.

I think this is a beautiful tribute because both Cheadle and Downey point out that it wasn't just T'Challa that made Boseman larger than life. He brought real-life heroes to the screen and showed us the stories of strong men like Jackie Robinson and Thurgood Marshall.

Since their deaths, there have been several Romanov impostors because, due to the circumstances of their assassination and the chaotic organization surrounding it, communist disinformation, and a lack of DNA testing, there was a fairytale-like desire to see that one of the young Romanov kids had survived—the most famous of them being Anna Anderson.

One of my black cats rolled over and meowed in question, its fur covering what was surely the makings of a hereditary crescent moon mark. Was it time to awaken my dormant abilities? Was my cat about to alert me to the other Black people in the area who were also planetary warriors of love and justice? Oh. My bad. Not until December 21st. Still... who revealed our secret?

As someone who’s loved Harry Potter since she was 8 (and who definitely spent endless nights during elementary school waiting for her Hogwarts letter) I was heartbroken by the massively transphobic behavior J.K. Rowling displayed throughout not only this year—but up until this very moment.

For the past four seasons, Big Mouth's Missy Foreman-Greenwald (voiced by Jenny Slate) has been a nerdy, awkward teenage girl who was the moral compass of the show.

But while Big Mouth delves into deeper issues like OCD, code switching, and sexual coercion, it still maintains its hilariously profane sensibility, with plenty of dancing genitals, chatty tampons, and musical numbers about gross bodily functions.
