For hardcore fans, getting to see their beloved stories told in a variety of mediums is always exciting. While many fantasy books are adapted into movies, there aren’t that many that are also turned into Broadway productions. While Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was an original screenplay meant to be adapted for live performances, Rick Riordan‘s Percy Jackson and the Olympians ‘verse was never really intended for the stage — until The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. In 2014, Thea

New York City is a place that many associate with idyllic wintertime activities thanks to a variety of Christmas films being set in the city. While there are definitely a lot of iconic activities to do in New York City in the winter, there are also some memorable fall things to do. Autumn is one of the best times to visit NYC because the weather goes from being hot and humid to quite nice. It’s a beautiful time of year, and you can enjoy the many things in the city that involve walking without b

Big conventions like New York Comic Con offer such a wide range of activities and options that there is something for most fans to love.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series has found a director and is set to start filming in August. The show will start on the Disney streaming service in October of 2020 if everything goes as planned. Many fans are excited to see more of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as they have just been side characters in the MCU.

It’s no secret to fans of the MCU, especially those involved in fandom, that Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes is one of the most popular fan ships of recent years. In fact, a recent survey about shipping with over 17,000 participants has “Stucky” listed as the most popular current ship of any fandom. Of course, shipping is a separate entity outside of canon, and whether or not there is textual evidence in canon for a fan pairing is somewhat irrelevant to popularity.

If you’ve never been to New York City before, you’re probably excited about planning your trip and hitting up all the iconic spots. There is so much to do in NYC that it can be hard to know where to start. No matter what kind of thing you're into whether it’s nightlife, food, museums, or parks, this city has you covered. However, there are a lot of touristy spots that aren’t really worth visiting. Some of the most talked about areas for tourists are actually pretty overrated.

Long before I ever came to an understanding of my own sexuality, I always found connection and fulfillment in my close friendships. In high school and college, dating never made a lot of sense to me. Looking back, this was probably because while I was physically attracted to men, my romantic interest in them was small to nonexistent. My female friends, however, meant the world to me.

We all have those days, or maybe if we are being honest weeks or even months, where we just can’t seem to find inspiration to write. While it can be easy to get into a writing slump, it is a lot harder to pull yourself out of one. Waiting for the muse to strike can be infuriating and disappointing, so sometimes we all have to seek out a little push in the right direction to get those creative juices flowing.

The fact that J.K. Rowling keeps changing Harry Potter canon after the fact has become somewhat of a running joke on the internet. Whether it’s new canon in the Fantastic Beasts films, facts on Pottermore, or random things being revealed by Rowling herself on Twitter, it seems hard to escape these new canon facts.

Rom-coms are a genre that many people love and many people love to hate or hate to love. While hating romantic comedies as a genre can be rooted in sexism, there are definitely some problems with the tropes in these films. While it’s alright to like problematic things, as we all do, there are definitely a lot of popular romantic comedy films that were pretty toxic when it comes down to it. Many of these films sent disturbing messages about gender roles, sexual assault, and other issues.

Captain Marvel gave us some pretty amazing quotes including a lot of powerful ones. Carol Danvers is a pretty inspirational character, and she was also surrounded by other inspiring women who had a lot of wisdom to give, too. Plus, this movie gave us a young Nick Fury who was here to make us laugh.

While Mads Mikkelsen is best known for playing Hannibal Lecter on NBC’s Hannibal, he has also been in a variety of other roles over the years. Mikkelsen brought Thomas Harris’ character to the screen in a powerful way that rivaled Anthony Hopkins performance, which is no small feat. Mikkelsen clearly has some serious acting skills and is masterful in creating a nuanced performance just with the slightest changes of expression.

Now that there are two trailers for Avengers: Endgame, fans are looking at every little detail they can to make theories about what will happen to their favorite characters.

While we won’t know the ending for sure until the film is released, we’ve collected a list of clues that are hinted at Capt

Harry Potter is a beloved franchise that many millennials grew up with. As with most franchises, a lot of scenes and moments that happened in the books didn't make it onto the big screen. The Harry Potter series is large, and many of the books are over 400 pages long, so it's no wonder many things had to be cut when the Harry Potter movies were created. Whether you're only a book fan, only a movie fan, or a fan of all things Harry Potter, it's always interesting to see which important scenes, ch

Arctic is a film that comes out of the tradition of many survival movies in recent years — most notably The Revenant, The Grey, and The Mountain Between Us. While it does go along with many of the tropes, it also holds some surprises.

When superhero movies first started becoming popular, the leads were nearly all straight white men. As time has passed, we have started to see more diversity. Most notably is Black Panther which featured a black male lead as well as numerous black supporting cast. Black Panther has definitely become a cultural phenomenon and socially significant. The popularity and importance of that film is a good case for why diversity in these types of films is important. he
