Power Rangers Review: "Day of the Dumpster"
You know, I've been a hardcore Power Rangers fan since the franchise started all the way back in 1993. The series is still going on strong even now with its many incarnations, though like many fans, I often tend to look back at the classic episodes from the early years. I have written a few Power Rangers related stories on here, and I've been planning to write some episodic reviews for a long while now. It wouldn't be literally every episode, just the ones that stand out the most and feature some of the most historic moments.

The Boys
Last we left our intrepid heroes Annie beat the shit out of Firecracker on live television. Firecracker also admitted to raping a 15 year old boy on live television but no one seemed to care about that. Butcher’s brain problem seems to have a life of its own and it is causing Butcher to hallucinate, blackout and potentially retain some of the power he had from the Compound V. Frenchie confessed his secret to his boyfriend, Kimiko had a showdown with the girl from the little fighting ring she was raised in. And Huey gave his dad some V and that perhaps saved his life? We will find out.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging. Top Story - June 2024.
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

Ranking DC Films
We all know that in the past the live action stories of the DC universe have been less than good. I have hope that James Gunn’s new universe will change that. He seems to have a good plan and knows how to execute it. All that said, let's talk about the live action movies that exist outside of his universe. For the purposes of this list I understand that he has claimed Blue Beetle under his cannon and therefore I will not be including it. Also we are going to omit Nolan’s Batman movies because those are really an entity of their own. So post Batman, pre-Gunn we are ranking live action DCU movies.

Ranking X-Men Relationships
The X-Men are one of the most recognized and celebrated teams in all of comics. For many reasons the X-Men are beloved. One of those reasons is that despite their superhuman powers most of their interpersonal struggles are very grounded and very real. Allowing the audience to more closely relate to this band of misfits. One of my personal favorite parts of the X-Men are their romantic relationships. When we talk about Jean and Scott you have to also bring up Logan. There is no talking about Rogue without mentioning Gambit. So who is the best X-Men couple? Well first let’s lay down some ground rules; both members of the relationship have to have spent at least most of their time as members of the X-Men. I love Storm and T’Challa too but he is not an X-Man and therefore can not be included on this list.

Thaw my heart
I've had this story in the backburner for a while after playing Batman Arkham Knight. In the game, Nora is kidnapped by the militia in an attempt to get Mr. Freeze to kill Batman. Victor rightfully distrusts the militia and instead implores Batman to help him retrieve Nora. Of course Batman is able to do so. But with Nora now awake, she makes the decision to stop letting Victor try to save her and they ride away in the sunset to be with each other with what little time they have left. Batman respectfully leaves them alone knowing Victor will not come back to Gotham. I absolutely love this ending, however I'm not the biggest fan of ambiguity. So this inspired me to write my own ending for Victor and Nora heavily inspired by this ending.

The Boys Season 2
The first few episodes of The Boys are out and the internet reaction for the most part has been insufferable. Between internet incels talking shit about Erin Moriarty’s looks and creatively illiterate morons screaming that this season is suffering from “bad writing” (something they couldn’t possibly be more specific about because they have no idea what would actually constitute bad writing) this season of The Boys is certainly being talked about. That said I think the new season is off to a great start and it feels literally exactly like the previous 3 seasons that we have gotten. Before we get started with The Boys season 2, episode 4 let’s do a quick recap up to this point, Butcher is dying, Huey’s mom is back, Firecracker is coming after Starlight and for some reason Sister Sage and The Deep slept together…Okay well here we go.

Alternate Universes
The alternate universes used by both Marvel and DC can get quite confusing. Each one serves a different purpose and some are only used once. So how does one keep track of all of them and how do you know if the comic book you want to read is from the main continuity or not? Well we are going to talk about all of that as we explain each of the alternate universes that exist in both Marvel and DC, 1 by 1. Now let’s start with why alternate universes exist; for the most part an alternate universe is created so that a writer can explore a storyline that doesn’t connect to the main universe. Whether that means that a character is doing something uncharacteristic or they want to put them in a completely different setting. How do the writers keep track? Well the honest answer is that they don't, which, for the most part, means that you don’t have to either. But we will also talk about how to tell if something is in a different continuity.
