Could Someone Else Be Helping 'Guard' The Galaxy In 'Avengers: Infinity War'?
I hope you've all had your rabies shots, because it looks like Rocket Raccoon could be hopping over from Guardians of the Galaxy to join the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
I hope you've all had your rabies shots, because it looks like Rocket Raccoon could be hopping over from Guardians of the Galaxy to join the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. Not content with sticking to GotG, could Bradley Cooper be joining the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Josh Brolin in the outer space showdown?
Chris Pratt's Star-Lord is maybe, already, probably, 100%, set to appear, but an interview with MCU writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely drops a pretty big hint of Rocket's return too. Markus told The Verge:
Also, whether they’re a 12-foot purple guy, or a raccoon, or an android, they’re all people, and we’re going to write them as people. You can’t write them any other way. So, ideally it will stay grounded because you’ll completely understand why the characters are doing what they’re doing, and you will in some way or another empathize.
So, let's break it down — "12-foot purple guy" equals Thanos (check), "an android" equals Vision (check). How many other raccoons do you know in the MCU? Unless Green Lantern's B'rr is intending on defecting from DC Comics, enter Rocket Raccoon! Of course Markus could just be talking broadly, but with writing underway for the scripts of both Infinity War films, it seems a pretty big coincidence for him to just pluck Rocket out of the impressive character roster.
With Part I scheduled for 2018, Infinity War (due to have a name change) has already confirmed Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen and the unannounced Captain Marvel actress — said to have up to 67 characters in the mix, surely there is room for our little furry friend to join the ranks? Only the time stone will tell.

5 Feelgood Stories Of Kids In The Entertainment Industry
Viewers everywhere are still reeling from the horrifying revelations in the recent documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV. The depth of Producer Dan Schneider's inappropriate behaviour around the sets of his Nickelodeon TV shows is apalling, even more so the series of missed warnings and adult failures that led to then-child star Drake Bell's sexual abuse at the hands of his acting coach, Brian Peck.

Five Underrated Mandalorians and Concept Designs for Cosplay
Within the vast realm of Star Wars, the Mandalorians hold a prominent position in the ranks of popular cosplay subjects. For over a decade, as a dedicated cosplayer, I have experienced great excitement upon encountering novel characters and character designs at conventions attended with my sister and friends. These endeavors exemplify the beauty of the art form, not only in bringing characters to life through the eyes of talented artists, but also in sparking immense joy among children and families who cherish the opportunity to see their beloved characters materialize. Moreover, witnessing the creative interpretations and personal touches that cosplayers infuse into their designs is a captivating spectacle on social media. Among the most frequently portrayed characters, I have observed Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, Hera Syndulla, and Duchess Satine Kryze. These portrayals serve as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the individuals who bring these characters to life.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
