8 Movies That Shaped Who I Am
Some people grow up with sports heroes or family traditions to guide them. I had movies. They weren’t just entertainment—they were emotional landmarks, tiny time capsules that helped shape who I am. These are the films that didn’t just leave an impression. They changed something in me.

Gods, Ghosts, and the Golden Age: The Weird Mythology of DC’s Secret Origins
I recently completed DC Universe Secret Origins [1], and, let me tell you, it’s a hell of a book. Thick, hardcover, and brimming with pulp comic book Golden Age goodness. We learn the secrets behind the Superman–Batman team-up, the mythological origins of Wonder Woman (she was blessed by a multiplicity of gods, including Aphrodite, Merc, and Herc—Mercules and Hercury, har-har), and what it was like to be Superbaby, then Superboy, and finally El Supero Uno, Mucho Macho Nacho, The Man of Steel. Booya.

Why I Rewatched a 90s Cartoon 10 Times
Introduction It started as a harmless click. A late Saturday night, a streaming app open, and me feeling a little too tired to focus on anything “serious.”

Rocket from the Tomb. Top Story - August 2025.
DC Secret Origins gives us the origin of The Spectre, a minor player in the DC Universe who demonstrates the oft-recurring trope of a hero being born—or rather reborn—from his own death. Apparently, crossing the Veil and coming back can so significantly alter an individual, particularly a common man (even though a “hardboiled private dick”), that he (alternately “she,” no chauvinists we) will don a costume and begin to fight jewel thieves and other crook-noses on behalf of Universal Consciousness.

15 Fascinating Facebook Facts You Probably Didn’t Know
It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without Facebook. For many of us, it’s where we first reconnected with an old school friend, shared life updates, or got caught in endless scrolling sessions. But behind the familiar blue logo is a story filled with twists, surprising statistics, and quirky details that even long-time users might not know.

Cells at Work! – An Educational Journey into the Human Body. AI-Generated.
Introduction When it comes to blending science and storytelling, Cells at Work! (Hataraku Saibō) is an exceptional example of how entertainment can become a powerful educational tool. This Japanese anime series, based on Akane Shimizu’s manga, anthropomorphizes the body’s cells, turning them into relatable characters with human emotions and personalities. Through engaging narratives and visually dynamic scenes, the anime not only entertains but also educates viewers about the complexity and beauty of human biology.

Fantastic Four
Marvel has been struggling for a new foothold in the cinematic landscape for several years now. For a while it really seemed like they were floundering…let me be clear; this idea is not reflected in the quality of the films it is reflected in the waffling of the leadership of the MCU. For the last 3 years we have heard from Iger, and Fiege that they will now be centering the MCU and focusing on “quality over quantity”, when in reality the “new” release plan shows absolutely no changes whatsoever. They are in fact doing the exact same thing they have always done. This not only makes the keepers of the MCU liars but it makes them look like they have no idea what they are doing, and it highlights the fact that there is no real plan for the MCU. They have ideas, and whispers but they don’t have a vision. The release of the Fantastic Four however gives us hope.

Invented Original Characters: Tick Vampires
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker, you doodle and photo cutout. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my idea for tick themed vampires.

David Corenswet lives in a world made of cardboard
Recently, I've had the opportunity to watch the newest Superman in theaters. I absolutely loved it. I'm eternally grateful for Gunn reminding the world what exactly being punk rock is and how we all need to be a little more punk rock. Now this is not a critique on the movie, but an opportunity moving forward as well as a slight character analysis of David's Superman relative to every other live-action version we've seen in length so far. Spoiler alert for those reading who have yet to see the film or are waiting on the digital release.

Superman vs. The Future: A Hero on the Brink of Death 🦸‍♂️
Our story begins in the icy heart of Antarctica. Superman lies broken on the snow, his iconic suit torn, his breath a ragged whisper. He is on the verge of death after a brutal fight. A snowstorm approaches, but it’s not a storm—it’s his faithful dog, Krypto 🐕‍🦺, who pulls him from the brink and drags him home: the Fortress of Solitude.

Happy Gilmore 2 Review: Nostalgia, Laughter, and a Surprisingly Big Heart
When I saw Happy Gilmore 2 sitting at #1 on Netflix, I knew I had to watch it that very night. I grew up with the original Happy Gilmore—the wild mix of golf, hockey temper, and Adam Sandler’s chaotic charm was one of those movies that stuck in my memory. So when I hit play on the sequel, I had two questions in mind: Would it live up to the original? And could it give me that same rush of ridiculous comedy mixed with genuine heart?

Family Guy vs. The Simpsons: The Ultimate Battle for Cartoon Comedy Supremacy
Throughout history, there have been countless comparisons with no definitive answer: Has PlayStation outperformed Xbox overall? Was Maradona the better footballer, or was it Pelé? Which show was superior — The Sopranos or Better Call Saul? Did BMW make better cars, or was it Mercedes-Benz? Questions like these have always existed, and while each side has its strengths, there’s rarely a clear winner.
