Joshua Ryan ,  ,  ,  3 min read

Ironheart made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the 2022 follow-up to the original Black Panther. While I love the sequel, the absence of Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa made the continuation of Wakanda’s story difficult, and the character of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne, Judas and the Black Messiah) didn’t stand out in the action-packed battle against Namor. In her standalone series, Riri is

Wiktor Reinfuss ,  ,  ,  8 min read

There’s something beautifully paradoxical about how Doctor Who ends its seasons every single time. As the TARDIS doors unfortunately close on the 15th Doctor’s final adventure, fans are left with that familiar bittersweet feeling that appears whenever there is a season finale or “regeneration moment”. For many, it is the day they are mourning a beloved incarnation while wondering what comes next. The 2025 season

Even with all of the animated and live-action projects, there’s rarely a place to tell different short stories that would fill some gaps. That is where Star Wars: Tales of… series becomes an important
