One-part cosmic superhero, one-part Space Jesus, one-part cocoon – Adam Warlock is as awesome as they come. Amassing over 50 years of heroic exploits that have rocked the cosmos from here to Knowhere and everyplace in between, he’s a veritable (Infinity) rock star. He’s basically the ideal template of a human that we should all strive to be, want to be with, or be fathered by. Best of all, he wears a cape....
When Gilmore Girls first appeared in 2000 it was a breath of fresh air. Featuring a fast-talking mother-daughter duo who live in a postcard-perfect town full of quirky citizens, the show quickly earned legions of passionate fans. For seven seasons, the lives and loves of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore captivated viewers. The show was created and ushered to the screen by Amy Sherman-Palladino and for six seasons her imprint was on every frame....
Superhero artifacts and weapons are equally, if not more powerful, than the superhero themselves. With Avengers: Infinity War on the horizon, fans are wondering what role some of these artifacts and weapons will play– especially against Thanos, who is collecting infinity stones for the Infinity Gauntlet. Yet, Marvel doesn’t hold the rights to every superhero– or their artifacts. This is why we’ve dug through DC Comics and movies, in conjunction with Marvel Comics and films....

Most people have dreamed of being a superhero at some point or another. It would be great to have extraordinary strength, the ability to fly, super speed, or any of the other numerous powers that would make life so much easier. But we all know that’s just the stuff of comics or movies. However, there are groups of people that saw the need for someone super and decided they would answer that call, superpowers or not....
Like most teen dramas, Gossip Girl had more than its fair share of couples. Considering the series followed a group of friends from high school to post-college careers, romance was inevitable. For a series on the CW, relationship drama is also a sure thing for most, if not all, couples. With some couples, it was a relief when the two characters got together. With others in the series based on the books by Cecily von Ziegesar, it was not....
Celebrities are, above all, masters of branding. Whether a movie star, TV icon, or somewhere in between, the ones worth remembering are the ones who cultivate a consistent image, a persona we can instantly associate with them. Tom Cruise is always intense and exuberant (and running). Julia Roberts has the girl-next-door vibe and that thing where she fights back tears through a pained smile. Leonardo DiCaprio is either giving us epic, expletive laden rants or raising his glass for a toast....
Toy Story 4 introduced the world to a brand new character which has joined the gang on their latest adventures. In order for Bonnie to feel more secure during her first days of school, she made her very own friend to join her on the journey. That friend is Forky, a spork that has been brought to life after becoming a toy. Forky is introduced into this strange world with Woody as his guide....
Ah, Twilight. What a time to be alive when the saga was at its peak. The height of the vampire love story’s popularity had an abundance of young girls swooning over Edward Cullen, aka the 100-year-old who loves to drool over a high school girl as she sleeps… But he sparkles and his hair is all lush, so it’s fine. There are a lot of elements from the Twilight saga that have not aged so well, yet if we’re going to be honest, these movies were never exactly Citizen Kane....
Disney is known for discovering and fostering famous talent. Whether it’s a future teen heartthrob or a director finally given their big break, working for Disney can propel people’s careers to heights they never even imagined. Stars from Britney Spears to Zendaya have all been able to use their time on Disney to move up in the world of show business. Unfortunately, that dream job doesn’t always work out as planned....
Kurt Sutter Shakespearean tragedy/biker melodrama served us seven seasons of gritty, violent stories revolving around the Sons of Anarchy, a motorcycle club based in Central California. Based in the ironically-named fictional town of Charming, the Sons operated a gun-running organization and attempted to maintain a balance between their criminal business enterprises and the idyllic outlaw lifestyle that motivated them. In addition to its labyrinthine collection of combustible relationships, Sons of Anarchy made a name for itself by featuring scenes of intense violence and human depravity....
There tends to be an assumption that the famous member of any family is the best in their given field– a guy who plays in the NBA is probably the best basketball player among his brothers, a supermodel is probably the most attractive of her sisters, and the sibling with the recording contract probably has the best pipes. Combine this with the general beauty of celebrities, and the theory is that a famous person is automatically going to be better-looking than any of their non-famous relatives– especially their siblings....

Did Gwyneth Paltrow really reveal a spoiler for Avengers 4 when she suggested Pepper Potts is pregnant? The “news” was revealed in a tie-in magazine for Avengers: Infinity War, published by Titan. Reflecting on Tony and Pepper’s journey together, Paltrow noted, “now this decade later they’re married, and they have a child.” The comment is all the more surprising because Avengers: Infinity War actually features a scene in which Pepper insists she’s not pregnant....
[This is a review of Agents of S.H.I.EL.D. season 3, episode 19. There will be SPOILERS.] - Last week on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the series managed to weave a complex narrative of interlocking stories, each charging toward the season 3 finale and eventual showdown between Phil Coulson’s S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hive’s Inhuman army. While Coulson, Lincoln, and May attempted to track down Daisy – who defected to Hive’s army after being infected by his Inhuman powers – Fitz, Simmons, and Mack searched for answers to reversing Hive’s control on Inhumans....
The latest episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD had a gentle dig at Avengers: Endgame. Over the last year, time travel has become a central part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both on the big and small screen. The approaches were slightly different, but both were essentially a variant on the Multiverse theory. Avengers: Endgame’s time travel has proven to be pretty controversial, not least because the writers and directors disagree about the basic model of temporal mechanics the MCU employs....
