Character appropriation: Zack Snyder doesn’t respect comics canon

Share: Zack Snyder doesn’t get comic books. It’s by no means a new sentiment, in fact, Snyder has been ripped to shreds time and time again over his views going back as far as when he completely butchered “Watchmen” in 2009. But those transgressions and concepts almost pale in comparison to his most recent statements that lit comic-book fandoms everywhere ablaze. This time around instead of mildly polarizing audiences with his films, Snyder went straight for the jugular and took a critical stance on Batman’s …

While the prospect of an economic boom looks appealing, the question remains: Can the city be fully prepared for this? The answer is a very eye-opening “no” unless significant change can be spurred in four years. Los Angeles is home to about 3.849 million people as of the 2020 census, but within that colossal figure lies a vast number of people without homes. As …

The Supreme Court justices are wrong, even when they’re right

Share: “SCOTUS.” Just the sound of it makes skin crawl, doesn’t it? The abbreviation may look fine on paper, but saying it out loud feels brutish and vulgar. But then, “brutish and vulgar” is an apt description of the Court in the last few years. Since the overturning of Roe v.

Multiple surveys in 2023, including Gallup and the Pew Research Center, showed public trust in the Supreme Court to …

As of late there isn’t really too much to discuss regarding Mr. West, no questionable or wild statements. The most we’ve heard from him is from the recent collaboration album “Vultures 1” with singer Ty …

Young people aren’t lazy, but that won’t stop older generations from saying it

Share: Although older generations claim to have fought hard to give their children and grandchildren better lives, they seem strangely apathetic about these children struggling to afford food, shelter, healthcare, and other basic necessities.

Frenzy around Selena’s death spotlights the killer, not the tragedy

Share: Yolanda Saldivar, Selena Quintanilla’s killer, will be releasing a documentary after almost 3 decades in prison. In this documentary, Saldivar claims she will “set the record straight” by tracing back the events prior to the Tejano music singer’s tragic death.  In the documentary, the focus is heavily on Yolanda’s side of the story and the events leading up to Selena’s death, but in an attempt to expose her story, it is obvious that once again producers tap into the giant profit source that is …
