WandaVision: Yes, It Is That Good!
We love Wanda because we can relate to her. I, myself, suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m lucky enough to have access to therapy and a group of people who love and support me, Wanda isn’t. So while her actions are morally corrupt, her intentions are pure. She is…

“Fate: The Winx Saga”: Just As I Predicted, I Hate It
The original Winx Club worked because it knew that diversity and feminist messages are things you show, not things you tell. The main cast were filled with strong female characters and half of them were women of colour.

WandaVision: Is It Worth Your Time?
I do think WandaVision is going to be a good show. The premise is set up well. The acting is good. The costumes are wonderful. The humour is top notch. It just takes time for things to start rolling. And if you are willing to wait for the main conflict to be established, I think…

Miraculous Ladybug New York Special: Adrien’s Abuse Narrative
Abuse is a difficult topic to accurately depict, especially within the confines of a children’s show. That is why I am incredibly impressed with the writing of the New York Special.

Why Are So Many People Upset With “Miraculous Tales Of Ladybug & Catnoir”?

“Miraculous Tales Of Ladybug & Catnoir”: Its Characters Are The Reason Why It’s So Loved
The characters are from a range of different ethnic backgrounds, they have vastly different body shapes and vastly different personalities. This show represents actual people rather than cardboard cutouts of the ideal Eurocentric person.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Diversity and Redemption
This show is an embodiment of the progress we have achieved in terms of representation of not only LGBTQ+ characters but also characters of vastly different body types and skin colours. Each character is a unique individual with an established back story.

Why You Need To Watch Frozen II A Second Time To Truly Appreciate It
It wasn’t until I watched it again with my housemates that I could truly appreciate just how well crafted a movie it is. On second viewing, I wasn’t worried about whether or not it was like the first one, I knew it wasn’t because I’d already seen it. All I did on my second viewing…

Knives Out: The Power Of Good Amongst Moral Corruption
This movie is not light-hearted. It punches you in the gut just when you think you’ve seen all the bad there is to see. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is its stubborn ideal that good will overcome evil. Despite all of Ransom’s efforts, he failed. And he failed in the way that he…

Blockers: A Shockingly Progressive Take On Regressive Familial Values And Its Failings
The vast majority of comedic films dealing with women’s sexuality, hell the vast majority of romantic comedies have a penchant for disregarding female autonomy. Whether that be via The Nice Guy trope (where a woman is shown to not know what she wants until a guy harasses her into going out with him) or by…
