Avengers: Endgame - The Dead

So now the spoiler ban on Avengers Endgame is well and truly lifted, and I actually have time to write, I'm gonna start dealing with some of the major parts of it. We're gonna start big and tackle the dead. So, as we know, there were many major characters killed, in both this movie and Infinity War, and some come back and some do not. We're here to break that down. Some of it I don't fully understand, because of the repercussions of the time travel in this movie, but I'm gonna do my best, and if you wanna question me or correct me or explain stuff to me, please do. Right, we're gonna start this bitch off with Vision. Many people were confused by the fact that Vision didn't come back at the end of the movie. It's a valid question, because the mind stone was taken by Steve from Loki's sceptre, and returned by him later so that there would be no extra timelines, as the Ancient One so beautifully explained (much better than me). But, Steve didn

Curly Hair, What's in There: The Abortion Ban

Strap yourselves in guys, because I have a hell of a lot of opinions and they're very strong ones. If you read the news or any social media outlet ever, you'll know that a bunch of US states, namely Ohio, Georgia and Alabama, have this week passed a law banning abortion from six weeks of pregnancy onwards, with states like Mississipi and Missouri right on their heels. That's when most women who wouldn't want a child will know they're pregnant. It gives them zero chance to make their own choice, because the ban states that a doctor performing the procedure or the woman having it could face up to 99 years in prison. You'd say okay, that's fair, if you're liberal but pro-life, but if you have any feelings or have any idea the full extent to which this is happening, it's damn well not. Protesters in DC First of all, the law was passed with 25 votes, and every single yes vote was made by an old, white man. I'm shocked and appalled at this

Curly Hair, Been There: Disneyland Paris Summer of Superheroes

If you didn't already know, I live in Paris and I love all things Disney. So, naturally, I have an annual pass and go up there as much as I can. This summer, it's all things Marvel! I went yesterday to check out #StudioHero and review all of the super festivities (get it??) Disneyland Paris: Summer of Superheroes All of the superhero stuff is in the Studios Park, rather than the main park, but it's still really cool. You walk in and the first thing you see, before walking through the studio, is this massive Captain Marvel Statue:  And that's just the start. In the production courtyard, there are three more huge statues, of: The Hulk Black Panther And Iron Man. It's pretty cool to see all of this, and exciting to see your favourite heroes but bigger and better.  The decor isn't the end of the fun though! There's the opportunity to meet three big heroes: Captain Marvel, Captain America, and Spiderman. I met Captains Marve

Avengers: Endgame

Right so I've seen Endgame twice now and I have a lot of thoughts. Since I'm not a monster, I am going to respect the two week no spoiler rule. Since it came out last week, I'll be waiting until the end of next week to post anything with spoilers in it. Aren't I nice? So this is just going to be a totally neutral, spoiler-free review, and over the next few weeks I'll break down different bits of the film and my thoughts about them, since there is a LOT of ground to cover. Endgame: Spoiler-free Review The packed poster I mean, first off, if you haven't yet seen the biggest movie in the world, you either care about nothing or you're not committed enough to the most ambitious and impressive saga in cinema history. Both are terrible, but worry not, because as much as I'm judging you, you won't get any spoilers here. Although, if you are either of those two types of people, you're probably not reading this. Anyway. This movie is just
