Although the concept of the multiversehas made the Marvel Cinematic Universe less approachable in recent years,it’s not the only reason that the saga has faltered in the years after the release ofAvengers: Endgame.With a majority of the stories in the MCU centered around interdimensional beings, gods, geniuses, and aliens from other galaxies, it has been harder for viewers to find characters that they can relate to. DC Comics may have been inspired by Greek mythology, butStan Lee’s Marvel characters were intended to reflect real life....

In one of many eerie scenes inAlejandro Amenábar’s 2001 haunted house movieThe Others,Nicole Kidman’s character Grace discovers a “book of the dead” in her house, filled with photographs of dead people dressed in their finest and placed before a camera by their relatives. This scene is a reference to theunsettling real-world tradition of death photography, which caught on quickly with the advent of modern photography in 1839. The historical context of post-mortem photography helps deepen the meaning ofThe Othersto another level....

The Simpsons' annual “Treehouse of Horror” episodes are a tradition as sacred as Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Maybe not. But still, these episodes that drop in and around Halloween every year since Season 2 in 1990 are often the highlight ofeach season, good or bad. The latest entry, “Treehouse of Horror XXXV” (35, for those whose knowledge of Roman numerals stops withStar Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker), carries on the trend, a particularly goodTofHina seasonthat, so far, has been more hit than miss....

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for all episodes of Agatha All Along. BeforeAgatha All Alongpremiered on Disney+, speculation swirled about which character might pose the biggest threat to Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). The delightfully unrepentant villain needed an oppositional force dynamic enough to, in social media terms, match her freak. The answer proved deliciously complicated: nothing less than the embodiment of Death herself (Aubrey Plaza), who also happened to be Agatha’s old flame....

When we first metElizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff inAvengers: Age of Ultron(after theCaptain America: The Winter Soldiertease), she had a pretty heavy Sokovian accent. After all, Wanda and her twin brother Pietro (Aaron Taylor Johnson) grew up there. However, when we reunite with the character inAvengers: InfinityWar, that accent is gone! While making the press rounds forInfinity Warback in 2018, Wanda’s vanishing accent was a mighty hot topic of conversation withJoeandAnthony Russoexplainingthat they intentionally stripped Wanda of her accent for two main reasons:...

Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for ‘Madame Web’ Madame Webis now on Netflix, and the end result of the film is…rather unique, to say the least. It’s arriving at a time when the superhero genre isn’t the dominant force in the movie industry. It’s being compared to theprevious Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movie,Morbius(which is ironic, given that both movies share a pair of screenwriters inMatt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.) Madame Web’s story centers on the origin story of psychic Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson) and her efforts to protect a trio of teenage girls from the murderous Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim)....
