With the release of The New Avengers (née Thunderbolts*) we are, as they say, so back (although whether or not we actually left in the first place is a hotly contested issue among Marvel fans and casual observers alike). Many are praising the closing chapter of the MCU’s Phase Five as a return to form…

WDW Minnie-Moon Day 4: Magic Kingdom
One Super-Sized Day in Magic Kingdom: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party The fourth and final day of our Walt Disney World “Minnie-moon” honeymoon was a true marathon of Disneyfied Halloween fun, food, and festivities.

WDW Minnie-Moon Day 3: EPCOT
The third day and penultimate day of our Walt Disney World “Minnie-moon” honeymoon consisted of a culinary tour around the whole entire world, a voyage into outer space, and back again.

Our Disney World “Minnie-Moon” Day 2: Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has always felt to us like the most unique park of the four non-water Disney World parks; it’s the perfect amalgamation of a National Geographic magazine come to life, an African safari, and a classic Disney theme park all in one.

THE (ONLY) DEFINITIVE MCU RANKINGS LIST
47. She-Hulk (2022) Speaking of Abominations … coming in at last place, this is by far and away our least favorite Marvel production to date. The CGI is disturbing at best and traumatizing at its worst. $200 million just doesn’t go as far as it used to (for reference Kingdom of the Planet of the…
