Responding to Reception for My X-Men Article
On February 16, 2024, I published an article titled "X-Men Has Always Been 'Woke'" on Vocal. It addressed the controversy surrounding the portrayal of a non-binary character in a Disney show. The article highlights the X-Men's history of storytelling that tackles social justice and human rights issues, which has been a fundamental part of its identity since the 1960s. While the article received positive feedback from Marvel fans who appreciated the exploration of these themes, there were those who insisted that Disney shouldn't tell politically driven storylines, dismissing them as "woke."

Villainess Review: Erin Cole (The Rookie)
It's arrived; it's finally arrived. The dust has settled, the strikes are now a thing of the past, and many, many shows are back on TV. Among the shows returning to TV is The Rookie, as tonight begins the sixth season of the hit series. I love The Rookie. I've watched since Day One. It's an amazing show that gets better and better as it progresses. It was a Tuesday show for the first season, and the next four seasons would air on Sundays in that 10PM slot. It was perfect for me, because in the first half, The Rookie served as that show that I would enjoy after an amazing day of NFL action, while the second half saw the show as a calming outlet for this fan of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Newsflash: X-Men Has Always Been “Woke”
During the unprecedented global shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I sought solace in the world of television. Among the shows that caught my attention was the original X-Men: The Animated Series. Along with Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it became a nightly ritual for me to watch three episodes on Disney+ before retiring to bed. This routine provided a much-needed escape from the stress of the day, during which I was preoccupied with planning and writing articles, including a series of interviews.
Jenna DeedyPublished 2 months ago in GeeksChris Farley: Comedic Icon
Amazing. Today would have been Chris Farley's 60th birthday. I had never heard that name until Black Sheep came out in 1996, but that's when I became a fan. And then more of his films came out, and he was gaining a lot of steam in his career, but sadly, it all came to a tragic end. It wasn't until after he left us that I would see more of Farley's projects and learn quite a bit about him.

"Micromanagement" a term that evokes frustration and annoyance in the workplace, is a management style characterized by excessive control, close supervision, and an inclination to scrutinize every detail of an employee's work. Anyone who has worked with a micromanager will understand that these kinds of people have a tendency to be the worst during work.
Jay KobayashiPublished 2 months ago in GeeksWhy The Film And TV Industry's Reliance On Streaming/Digital Media Is Becoming A Problem
When Netflix made the move from mail-order DVD rentals to becoming the first major video-on-demand subscription service, it was a major game changer in the entertainment industry, although no-one could have realised just how much at the time. For a while, Netflix monopolised the streaming industry, but this has now well and truly changed. Now, most major studios have their own service through which consumers can stream their content.

Today is National Werewolf Day. A werewolf is a person who changes for a period into a wolf-like creature, typically during the full moon. The earliest written story involving werewolves was in the Epic of Gilgamesh in 2,100 BC. The myth itself originated in Ancient Greece when King Lycaon tried to trick Zeus into eating human flesh, but unfortunately, it backfired on him. Today, werewolves are used in popular media to show a character with great strength and courage. The most common way to become a werewolf is to get bitten by one on a full moon. Here are some tips to follow if you find yourself being stalked by one.
M.L. LewisPublished 3 months ago in GeeksStain's Principle
In the rich tapestry of hero narratives within the realm of manga and anime, few characters have left as profound an impact as Stain, the enigmatic antagonist from Kohei Horikoshi's "My Hero Academia." Stain's principle, a belief system centered around the purification of heroism through the elimination of "fake" heroes, is a moral and philosophical cornerstone that challenges the very foundation of the hero society portrayed in the series. Despite his radical methods, Stain's unwavering respect for All Might, the symbol of peace, adds a layer of complexity to his character. This essay endeavors to dissect Stain's principle, exploring its ideological underpinnings, its implications within the world of "My Hero Academia," and the paradoxical nature of Stain's respect for All Might.
