Though the production itself has come a long way, I see problems in many films with the way women are represented, especially in the Marvel films I love so much. It upsets me, but that is not enough. If I cannot accept it, I must change it. This is where my skills as a Humanities student would be useful.

The program helped my confidence grow and made me realize that my words can make a…

The Sokovia Accords are an act to register all enhanced humans, restrict use of their powers and control their missions. This is in response to multiple incident’s where collateral damage left thousands dead. Captain America and those that agree with him are against signing the act,…

I figured I would just see a movie, just like everyone normally does. I recently picked up an interest in Marvel movies and characters and my mom had actually taken notice. “Why don’t you go to this Wizard World thing? That Stan Lee guy you talk about is going to be there, and some Walking Dead characters.” Stan Lee is one of the original…

Just like all Marvel movies before this one Doctor Strange follows the same basic plot construct and character arcs that have made us fall in love with so many heroes before him. Indeed if there is anything negative to be said about Marvel it’s that in every way they seem to refuse to take any risks. Now that’s not to say that this movie…
