10 Superhero Comic Series We Need To See In Live Action
Superhero season is in full swing. We are fresh off the joyride that was ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and now await, with no dearth of trepidation, the arrival of DCEU’s ‘Justice League’. Hollywood has been in reboot/remake mode for quite a while now.

A 'Ghostbusters' Fan Has Made the 'Ghostbusters 3' We Actually Wanted!
Ghostbusters is upon us, and the general feelings towards this latest reboot are very mixed. Many fans are split between being excited for the new film or being totally, unequivocally against it. Whether you like it or not, Paul Feig's reboot is about to be released. This reboot is unrelated to the 1984 original and is instead a totally new story with new characters (though the original cast do have cameos). Ghostbusters 3 was something that was talked about for many years, but sadly, it never came to be.

That Ship Has Sailed
If you’ve watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you may have come across some articles debating the status of the many relationships played out during the film’s runtime. The film is chock full of fascinating characters, all of whom are well-written despite their rather curtailed screen-time.

Hufflepuffs Are Adorable as Fuck
Since writing my article, The Day I Discovered I Was A Slytherin, I felt the urge to write an article about the other three houses: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. I'm a Slytherin and I'm proud of it, but I think the other three houses are just as amazing. I like all of the four Hogwarts Houses because I think they can represent some amazing abilities and traits. By default, you have to be an amazing person if you've got your letter of acceptance from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
