Katelyn Benschoter- The Marvel Studios franchise is one of television’s biggest and most expansive. Yet, in recent years with the high frequency of projects coming out, some fans have felt that Marvel has lost their touch. Instead of doing a huge film such as Avengers: Endgame per year, they have had many smaller projects and television shows in short periods of time. These smaller projects … Continue reading Agatha All Along: a New Audience for Marvel

But for some odd reason, if anyone brings them up, no one will truly admit to being a fan of them. When someone says they really enjoy a reality show, the room suddenly becomes quiet. On a base level, these shows could be of a much higher quality … Continue reading Why Will No One Admit to Liking Reality TV?
Raquel Vaughn- Do you ever take those ridiculous (but very important) Buzzfeed quizzes where one of the questions is always “What is your favorite season?” I’ve completed a fair share of those quizzes because I’m always in the mood to know what dog I would be, which faction from Divergent I belong to (Abnegation), or which one of Sarah J.
