Fan Friction: Ranking Disney’s Misguided Miscreants

When I was asked to write this piece, I had to really scratch my head about the villains I would choose to rank. What makes a good villain? Why were they a villain? What was their story and how did they relate to the hero’s story? After a good little … Get hard

Fan Friction: 8 Disney Films That Joss Whedon Should Remake

Like many other things in my life, this post revolves around the genius that is Joss Whedon. While concocting a couple of Disney rankings (all these Disney postings are in honor of MALEFICIENT which is opening Friday!) I came across a badass fan-made poster for a movie that needs to … Get hard

Fan Friction: Ranking Disney Royalty

Man, oh man this was hard, dudes. Deciding who to rank, who is royalty enough, who is too royal for their own good, and then putting them in order from yuck to yay? Ugh. Especially for Disneycentric rankings it’s easy for things to get out of hand and I had to draw … Get hard

X-MEN [2.5, X-MEN 3.5, FIRST CLASS 2]: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

SPOILERS. I have so many thoughts on Bryan Singers’ long awaited third installment of the X-Men franchise. Most of these thoughts are fangirling because it finally came into theatres, but there’s a few good thoughts that are actually coherent opinions, so we’ll see how far we get into those before … Get hard

Fan Friction: Twilight vs. Fangirls

I am a fangirl. I am a fan, and I am a girl. When the term “fangirl” started to mean an obsessive, crazed (and often psychotic) constantly crying screwball who-gets-Edward-Cullen-tattooed-on-their-ass I’m not quite sure, but I am and always have been a fangirl. While it seems that the fangirl culture … Get hard

Fan Friction: X-Men, More X-Men, Did I Mention X-Men?

I have just purchased my insanely overpriced movie tickets for a May 22nd 10:30 showing of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. I am currently re-watching all four seasons of “X-MEN: EVOLUTION” and am [finally] plowing through “WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN” which was apparently cancelled after a mere 26 episodes. After … Get hard

Fan Friction: A Feminist Who Doesn’t Think Steven Moffat Is Sexist

SHERLOCK and DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS ABOUND Anyone who has had a five-minute conversation with me, has read any of my blogs, or has even looked at me knows I’m a feminist. I make no secret of it since I don’t think it’s something to be ashamed of. Do I want … Get hard

Fan Friction: Save The Superheroes

YE BE WARNED: ARROW 2×20 SPOILERS AHEAD, MATEY. I have never read any of The Flash’s comics. Frankly, the only thing I ever knew about The Flash was that he had a red costume with a lightning bolt and was part of the DC Universe. But that didn’t stop me … Get hard

Fan Friction: Book Fanatics Gone Wrong

Vote in our Harry Potter bracket. My biggest problem with movie adaptations of great books (or really any books) isn’t the possibility that the filmmakers might ruin the plot or characters, or that they simply won’t create a faithful adaptation, it’s the batshit crazy bookfans that come along with the … Get hard

Fan Friction: Unfaithfully Committed to “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

If you have not seen CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER or the latest episode of Marvel’s AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., you’re not a very good nerd, nor should you read the rest of this post LEST YE BE SPOILED. Week after week, Tuesday after Tuesday, I prepare myself to watch the … Get hard
