Julia Louis-Dreyfus may have a big role to play in the MCU’s future as CIA Director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, but whether she is a Marvel hero or villain is unclear…especially to Louis-Dreyfus. Having made fleeting appearances in Black Widow, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Val’s role in the MCU is expanding with every cameo, and while her upcoming central role in Thunderbolts is already on the cards, what exactly her plan is in the Marvel Universe has yet to be uncovered....

It might have been second place on the charts, but by circumstance, Kung Fu Panda was by far the big winner on the DVD charts… after just one day in release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kung Fu Panda took second place on the national DVD sales charts, behind Get Smart, even though the film was only on the shelves for one day. The disc’s Sunday release was a first in home video, attempting to capitalize off Sunday morning newspaper inserts, and the disc’s first-day Sunday sales accounted for 90% of what the week’s winner, Get Smart, had ammassed in the entire week....

Fans were surprised to hear the voice of Charles Xavier, a.k.a. Professor X, in a trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Professor X was the founder and leader of the X-Men, a team of mutants that worked to maintain peaceful relations between humans and mutants. Previously, the X-Men movies had always been entirely separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has changed the game by introducing a character from the world of X-Men to the MCU for the very first time....

It seems that while there has always been a fascination with the British Royal Family, its impact on media has grown exponentially in the last 15 years. Between Mary Queen of Scots, The Favourite, and last year’s Spencer, the past few years alone have seen an influx of films about the monarchy. The Royal Family has this ‘above human’ quality that makes them feel so interesting to ’normal’ people with everyday struggles....

The Good A very fun show that manages to correctly contain its kinetic energy. The Bad I think there should have been more commentary tracks from the cast. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Seasons 1 and 2 gives us the first 17 episodes of one of the more interesting buddy comedies, that might also claim that it too is about nothing. Mac, Charlie and Dennis own Paddy’s Pub where they spend a lot of time with Dee, Dennis’ sister who also works there....

First let me state that I am a die-hard, green-blooded, seen every episode ten times, balls-to-bones Star Trek fan. Not hardcore enough to go to conventions in stupid costumes, but definitely no Trek neophyte. I’ve had serious doubts about the ’re-imagining’ of the franchise. I do not worship at the alter of J.J. Abrams. Lost, Felicity, Alias, the pile of manure that was MI:3, Fringe, not even remotely impressed. Cloverfield was the only Abrams project that didn’t illicit yawns....
