Every superhero has different personality traits. Although they may seem like they all have the same goal (save the world), they’re actually quite dissimilar. To prove this, we’ve used the Myers-Briggs® Personality Test to place some of your most beloved superheroes into their respective categories. As you may have seen, there are many lists that analyze the categories of iconic film and literary characters. But this list will only delve into some of the most spectacular, powerful, and multi-dimensional Marvel superheroes....

Despite going by the moniker of reality TV, most of TLC’s hyper-aggrandized programming is far from real. Sure, there are definitely a few kernels of truth in shows like My 600 Pound Life and Say Yes to the Dress, but a substantial amount of what is presented to the viewer has been fed through a filter of drama and overproduction. That isn’t to say that everything TLC and its production partner Sharp Entertainment have done is terrible....

We live in the glorious Golden Age of superhero movies, in which two superhero-vs-superhero dust-ups are both coming to theaters in the next few months. But Superman vs. Batman and Captain America vs. Iron Man aren’t the only long-lasting superhero rivalries… or should we say frenemy-ships?… to feature in the pages of our favorite comics. Heroes may mostly be one big, happy thug-punching family, but every family has some ties that are more awkward than others, and decades of publishing history is a long time for certain resentments to fester....

Even the most popular movie franchises reach a point where a direct sequel just isn’t possible. There are several reasons why this could be the case. Maybe core cast members have outgrown their roles, or aren’t interested in reprising them. Perhaps the current narrative has already been wrapped up so conclusively that there simply isn’t any more story to tell, rendering a follow-up movie superfluous. In situations like these, one solution that filmmakers are relying on more and more is to develop a prequel, instead....

While there have been plenty of memorable sibling relationships in movies and television, few have been as compelling and fun as Thor and Loki in the string of Thor and Avengers movies over the last seven years. Obviously, there is great source material that has helped set the brothers duo up for success, but what makes the competition between Thor and Loki so endearing is the actors behind the characters. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston play off each other well and seem to have both captivated the essence of the character they play on screen....

TV and movies are getting closer to each other every day, and that’s especially true when it comes to action sequences. For a long time, truly great action was reserved for films, where it seemed that budgets could go higher and better set pieces could be designed. Now, that distinction is a lot blurrier, and there are plenty of television shows that could rightly be hailed for their remarkable action sequences....

As one of the most popular sitcoms of all-time, despite the fact that Friends ceased airing years ago, the show’s many fans recently expressed their outrage when Netflix almost stopped streaming it. With that in mind, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that many of the actors that appeared on the show look back on that moment in their life as a really big deal. Based on a myriad of different factors, people sometimes perceive similar experiences extremely differently....

Although 30 Rock is well regarded for never really deteriorating in quality, that doesn’t mean it never fell to the same trappings other sitcoms, especially after its third season. The longer 30 Rock went on, the stranger it became. For the most part, it was able to weave its newfound weirdness into its already eclectic identity, but it also resulted in a comedy that wasn’t always cohesive. Most notably, when it came to resolving storylines....

Godzilla: King of the Monsters premiered on May 31, yet in a short time it has seemingly fizzled out of discussion. It, unfortunately, has not been quite the hit that was anticipated, either for the studio or for movie fans. Yet, looking past some of its flaws, it’s still a reasonably entertaining movie in its own right, living up in many ways to both Godzilla films in general and to its predecessor, which premiered in 2014....

When it comes to sitcoms, there has been a longstanding tradition of recasting characters during a series run. Whether this happened immediately, mid-series, or in a show’s final season, it’s been an occurring theme in television since the early days of black and white programming. On some occasions, TV shows never fully recovered from a character’s recasting. Other times, the show soldiered on despite an actor’s notable absence. Surprisingly, in some cases, audiences never even noticed the switch....

A baseless though plausible claim that has churned through the rumor mill of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and The Family Chantel couple Pedro Jimeno and Chantel Everett has been the thought that Nicole Jimeno is not actually Pedro’s sister, but his secret wife in the Dominican Republic. While it’s purely conjecture and a notion that Nicole outwardly rejects, fans claim there have been clues littered throughout the series to suggest otherwise....

Actors can lose iconic roles for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes timing simply doesn’t line up and they can’t clear room in their busy schedules to make time for the production. Other times they merely don’t fit the part or can’t get a handle on special skill, like singing or dancing, that might be required to bring the character to life. However, sometimes things just get a little bit too out of hand....

Tech YouTuber Luke Miani managed to get his hands on three Apple AirPower prototypes, and demonstrate them working – albeit briefly! The 91Tech channel has done the same. The videos provide a very graphic demonstration of why Apple was forced to very publicly abandon the project … The AirPower story First announced in September 2017 for delivery in early 2018, it was more than a year after the promised date that Apple had to finally admit defeat....

To the uninitiated, the DC Comics universe is something of an incoherent mess, filled with countless continuity errors and reboots. The company-wide event Rebirth aims to change that perception by not rebooting but rather relaunching the DC Universe, merging the pre-Flashpoint/pre-New 52 continuity with The New 52 continuity. The first issue, DC Universe: Rebirth #1, is reasonably newcomer-friendly and does a tremendous job of introducing characters and explaining past events to first-time readers, though it undoubtedly leaves some of those readers in quite a conundrum....

The trope is all over social media now. Fans recognize it when they see it. It’s the common plot point in anime when a fighter reveals a secret tactic or surprises the opponent with previously unseen knowledge. It dominates anime, and the trope is notorious for internet mockery. However, this kind of plot twist (and many others) serve a higher purpose in the overall storyline. When a plot twist works, it can save a series from falling off a cliff regarding story development....

Marvel movies are a cultural institution at this point. Whether it’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the X-Men, or whatever the deal is with Spider-Man, there’s no real way to get away from Marvel superhero movies. They are everywhere online, they take over your local movie theater and even if you don’t frequently visit either of those places, you still might get involved in some guerrilla marketing stunt. Given this ever-present ubiquity, Marvel advertising has begun to receive intense scrutiny from both fans and critics....

Science fiction has always been a genre of the masses. Franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have turned out some of the biggest and most beloved movies of all time — inspiring fan bases so large that they could easily fill the country of Wakanda ten times over. Of course, not ever sci-fi movie can be as influential or flawless as The Empire Strikes Back, Alien, or The Matrix, and there are plenty of lesser-known gems in the genre that are adorned by fans despite their flaws....

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnsons is many things. He’s the hardest working guy in showbiz, a charming old-school action hero, the highest paid actor on the planet, a former WWE wrestler, a most attractive man alive winner, and a revitalizer for aging movie franchises. Heck, it seemed inconceivable that a decade ago the Fast and Furious franchise could go on for much longer, let alone regularly power to a billion dollars....

Mortal, thy name is Batman. Throughout his storied career, the Dark Knight has been on the receiving end of some truly remarkable beat-downs. They can be hard to watch, and let’s face it: Batman isn’t supposed to lose. Though no one actively wants to watch him suffer, Batman’s unique ability to survive makes his defeats all the more important. They’re the crucibles that allow him to emerge the unmitigated hero....

Before shows like Arrow and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. came around to give something comic book fans to be excited about on a weekly basis, Smallville took the world by storm. Between 2001 and 2011, audiences were transfixed by the WB-turned-CW series about a young Clark Kent coming into his own as his powers developed. As Clark learns about his Kryptonian heritage and real strength, he traverses the awkward teenage years of high school and tries to figure out how to date while stopping bad guys....
