Jack's Journey
Floating through the void of space in his mind Anime Jack questioned his existence. "Why am I here? What purpose do I serve? Am I destined to be nothing forever?" Countless questions invaded the zone of where a sturdy foundation should be. As he continues to float in the distance, he sees a black hole. He didn't try to float away from the unknown, he accepted what was to come hoping for the best. While he begins to get closer, that black hole begins to shine bright and capture his full attention. The closer he got the more he felt a passion in him growing. Not knowing what the passion was for it impulsed him to move faster towards the hole of light. When he got close enough he heard a voice in his heart that said, "Destiny awaits." The hole of light sucked him in and spit him out in front of an old run down building, full of spider webs and moss. As he stood up he hears that voice again say, "It's in your hands now," leaving him puzzled all he had was a fire of passion burning in him and an old run down building with a sign that read, "Anime Mansion." At that moment he realized, "This is where I belong!

7 Questions You've Definitely Had About 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'!
The size of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book was monumental compared to that of its predecessors. So, how were they going to fit that much detail into a film that wasn't 10 hours long? (Which I would definitely sit and watch by the way). Unfortunately for Potterheads, they cut out quite a sizeable chunk of not only characters, but character depth, and key plot developments as well.

Could Newt Be Hagrid's Father?
As I was re-watching Fantastic Beasts and Whereto Find Them, it struck me just how similar Hagrid and Newt seem to be. Jacob cowering behind a beaming and reassuring Newt as a massive and seemingly dangerous creature appears. So had Harry and his friends done with Hagrid. His father's name was never mentioned in the books or movies, just that he was short; not only in comparison to his giantess wife and half giant son, but by human standards as well. In fact, we get an okay idea of what Hagrid's father looked like in Chapter 24 of Goblet of Fire:

10 X-Men Movie Fan Theories That Actually Make Sense
Back when I was in college, I had a friend named Sam. Sam was the type of person who really loved to read into comics, cartoons, and books to find secret meanings. Talking to him was always a kick, primarily because I never knew what fan theories he'd come up with.

We'll Play Games
A simple microphone and monitors represented the low-budget, but high quality feel of the podcast. Kilmer Tunn’s voice serenaded the corners of the internet with his show, “Tunn’s of Fun.” His face was chestnut brown. A game show, the broadcast lasted for only one episode at a time and then vanished into the electronic ether after that initial airing. He picked up today’s epistemology and ethics and aesthetics while leaving out current politics which he found to be toxic. Tunn organized with a network of other podcasters who dreamed up a direct plan. They met at his studio.

'Mary, Queen of Scots:' Facts From Fiction
As a historian and English history fanatic, it’s kind of my job to know the truth about subjects such as the Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I and the Tudors, which are so often portrayed in film and media, so as to dispel any misconceptions about them. We live in an age where people are getting their history lessons from movies and television shows and that is just not okay! I am aware that when producing a film about a historical event, period of time or particular characters that artistic liberties must sometimes be taken in order to captivate and engage audiences in a dynamic storyline. Sometimes the cold hard facts (for most people) just don’t make an interesting enough story to be considered a box office best seller. However, for someone like myself, historical accuracy can make or break the experience.

If Anime Took on the Marvel Universe
With the recent success of Infinity War and the sequel title around a half ways away, along with that new Jump Force game due to be released some time these next few weeks... There has been an abundance of speculation, to say the least. Fans, on both sides of the fence, have been asking the question... Who would triumph in an all out war between the anime universe (which would include; Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece,One Punch Man, and My Hero Academia) and the Marvel comic book universe. As a long time fan of both, my entire life to be more specific, I personally believe I can add some valuable insight on this particular hypothetical conflict. Now to be clear! There would be no dominating victor in this contest. Both sides have a long list of contending characters along with their star characters and over all beast characters that are seemingly impossible to stop on their own. That being said there are a variety of different advantages that pertain to both sides of the conflict as well.

'Sesame Street' Roomies Ernie and Bert Inspired By LGBTQ+ Relationship?
It's an argument that has been hashed over for decades: Are #Ernie and #Bert gay? I'm really not sure why such an argument would even exist, to be honest, but thanks to Emmy-winning writer and playwright Mark Saltzman, who wrote for Sesame Street from 1985 to 1998, we might have a partial answer. Saltzman says like most writers, he writes about what he knows, and as far as Sesame Street was concerned, it was his own relationship with late film editor Arnold Glassman that inspired the dynamic between #ErnieandBert.
