Though the animated series of Avatar: The Last Airbender ended in 2008, Team Avatar's story continued over the years as a series of graphic novels – and one in particular, The Promise is the sequel that fans of the original TV series have been looking for.

Particularly heartwrenching for long-time fans is Zuko's plot.

Fearful that he will take after his father upon becoming Firelord, makes Aang promise to end his life if any shade of evil shows itself in Zuko again.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Outer Banks season 4, part 2.

Outer Banks season 4, part 2 introduced a massive storyline for Sarah Cameron, though one that betrays a set-up for her character from only a month ago. Played by Madelyn Cline in Outer Banks' ensemble cast, Sarah has been an integral part of the show since season 1. With Outer Banks' latest treasure hunt, the show delved deeper into each of its central characters, Sarah included. This began in Outer Banks season 4, part 1, with part 2's release a month later taking Sarah's arc to new places.

As of Outer Banks season 4, part 2's ending, big developments were presented for the Pogues. Not only were the crew stranded in Morocco empty-handed with only Sarah's twisted brother Rafe for company, but a major character death in Outer Banks season 4 rocked the group to its core. On top of that, Sarah was left reckoning with a massive piece of news,...

Remembering the 12 basic hand signs in Naruto is crucial for mastering ninjutsu and genjutsu techniques. Certain hand signs like Tori and Inu are essential for performing specific elemental nature transformations. Character-specific hand signs, like the Uchiha's Ram and Haku's Tiger, showcase unique talents and techniques in battle.

Being a ninja is tough, even when it involves eating bowl after bowl of ramen. For Naruto Uzumaki's peculiar ninja world, the stress is double; he usually has to deal with an emo best friend who loves to disappear apart from dealing with other ninja lessons. Some of them can even be too theoretical to be fun. In Naruto's world, specifically in the Hidden Leaf Village of Konoha, one has to memorize a lot before finally being able to practice being a ninja.

The Naruto franchise has serious staying power. Starting as a manga serial in 1999, the series became an anime and spawned numerous movies. The spin-off series Boruto debuted shortly after Naruto concluded. While a movie debuted first, the anime and the manga are now flourishing.

Debuting in 2017, the anime hasn't seen all of its episodes get English dubs yet. That hasn’t stopped audiences outside of Japan from devouring the series and discussing just how it compares to the manga. As episodes continue to debut in both Japanese and English all over the world, just which episodes fans rate the highest remains in flux.

Updated on January 23rd, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: Though Boruto has gone through a few hiatuses as the animation waits for the manga to catch up to the series, that just means more fans have had the chance to catch up on the program - or discover it for the first time.

Despite some roadblocks along with the way, the Power Rangers franchise has essentially been going non-stop since its premiere in 1993. From meteoric, literally-highway-stopping popularity to middling-out, descending close to cancelation and then returning to the brink, the multicolored superhero teams of the Power Rangers universe continue to scratch the itch of martial arts, explosions, people in rubber monster suits and giant, combining robots for fans of all ages.

With so many rangers to choose from, the question of which team would reign supreme occurs to fans all the time. This particular ranking takes everything into consideration: their civilian skillets, powers, tactics, arsenals, and what they’re up against. For the sake of clarity, multi-season shows are being combined into one entry, meaning that Mighty Morphin’s three seasons or the “Super” variants of Samurai, Megaforce, and beyond will all be considered one.

Murder, She Wrote is a TV series that has been concluded for ages. Yet many of the moments and quotes still linger with fans, even years later. Jessica Fletcher was an iconic character, to put it mildly. And that is likely one of the many reasons her words have lasted as well as they have in the minds of fans.

Murder, She Wrote did lend for several dramatic and quotable moments. Some of these moments are our favorites, naturally. It helps that the town Jessica Fletcher lived in seemed to be so riddled with murderers. So we've gone ahead and collected ten of our favorite quotes spoken by the one and only Jessica Fletcher.

Updated January 23rd, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: When it comes to fictional TV detectives, a lot of fans tend to remember those in police procedurals first, but old-school detective shows, like Columbo and Murder, She Wrote...

Throughout the years, teenagers with attitude have fought the good fight against the forces of evil as the Power Rangers. But if they were to fight against each other, who would come out on top? Who is the strongest Ranger of all time? The most powerful Ranger should be able to give as good as they get in a fight, but also know how to think strategically in combat. They also need the true spirit of a Power Ranger.

Most people point to the Red Rangers over the decades as the strongest of all Rangers, but many other Rangers show they have much more prowess than their leaders. Find out who the best of the best are with the Most Powerful Power Rangers, Ranked.

Updated on January 14th, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: Every season of the Power Rangers franchise seeks to up the ante for the audience with more powerful villains.

Since his debut in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Tommy Oliver quickly became a fan favorite. Fans were enamored by his good looks and boyish charm, but his storyline soon shifted to evil. He became a puppet controlled by Rita Repulsa and soon became the Rangers' number one enemy for a handful of episodes before turning back into a hero.

Tommy's role in the franchise didn't end with the first series. He would go through many story arcs from becoming the Red Zeo Ranger to making his return in crossover episodes and becoming the Black Dino Ranger. Fans have been along for his entire journey and have fond memories and moments to look back on.

Updated January 13th, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: Tommy Oliver, played by Jason David Frank, is one of the most decorated Power Rangers in history. Not only was he a member of the first Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team,...

For some, Power Rangers played a special role in their childhoods. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a brand new concept to arrive in the U.S. television market. For years, the people responsible had a tough time convincing their bosses that it was a good investment.

No one believed that the Japanese-based show would skyrocket into success. With millions of dollars in revenue coming in from merchandise alone, they decided to keep the ball rolling. Over the years, with changes in ownership and adapting new storylines, not all series did well. The best Power Rangers series seem to find the sweet spot in appealing to kids with larger-than-life villains and big fight sequences, while still appealing to adults with serial stories and dramatic storyline shifts.

Updated on January 12th, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: For the first time since the Zordon Era of the Power Rangers franchise, the series is going...

From humble beginnings as an ultra-low-budget splice series that no one thought would take off, all the way to present-day success, it's easy to imagine Power Rangers going the way of The Simpsons and just never ending. The franchise has had dinosaurs, ninjas, magicians, kung-fu masters, dinosaurs again, post-apocalyptic defenders, samurai, dinosaurs for a third time, and, ninjas again. This Power Ranger train isn't stopping any time soon.

But there's one who stands out as the greatest, most decorated Ranger of all time. He's cycled through a few colors, but few nineties kids would fail to recognize Tommy Oliver as the Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, the one who started evil and became a legend.

Updated on January 10th, 2023 by Amanda Bruce: Green might not be a color that makes it into every Power Rangers team line-up, but thanks to Jason David Frank’s turn as original Green Ranger Tommy Oliver,...

Kate Hudson has been a staple of Hollywood cinema since starting out in the late 90s. She has become, in many ways, the queen of romantic comedies, and her yellow dress look as Andie in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is truly iconic. However, while Hudson may be most associated with roles like this one, she has had a hugely varied career so far.

Hudson has portrayed the horror-film heroine, voiced the ribbon-dancing panda, and even featured for a short stint as Cassandra July in Glee. Hudson's filmography certainly shows her diversity as an actress, and her highest-ranking roles may not be the ones that she is most known for.

Updated on December 31st, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Critics and movie fans are all talking about the latest chapter in the Knives Out mystery saga: Glass Onion. Kate Hudson’s latest movie definitely breaks her previous mold of a romantic comedy queen.

For quite some time, actress Kate Hudson was a fixture in romantic comedies. In fact, she’s probably in some of the best 1990s rom-coms that you’ve come to love. Meanwhile, in the awards circuit, Hudson is an underdog. She won a Golden Globe for her performance in the film Almost Famous.

However, the role only earned a nomination from the Academy Awards (putting it on the list of those that should have won best supporting actress). That said, fans remain excited about Hudson’s upcoming movies. Until then, check out her past films, according to critics.

Updated on December 5th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Over the last few years, Kate Hudson has been choosing her roles a bit more carefully, selecting characters that feel unique for her to bring to the screen. That’s true with two of her most recent movies, Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon...

After quite some time of announcements and ambiguity surrounding the Black Adam movie, the DC Extended Universe finally saw the character debut in 2022. Fans have wanted to see him for a while and the confirmation of The Rock’s portrayal only brought more interest toward Black Adam.

There are a number of questions that come to mind, including things like Black Adam’s background, who he is, and what his connection to Shazam is supposed to be. These are all questions casual movie-goers might want to be answered after seeing the movie.

Updated on December 3rd, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Though Black Adam might not be a critical hit (it sits at 39 on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes), Dwayne Johnson has been earning quite a bit of praise for his commitment to the titular character and for his understated performance in the role. His usual charisma and wisecracks have been...

Everyone loves a good cop show. From the early days of television detective shows have been one of the most popular genres on the air. They have ranged everywhere from goofy slapstick in Police Squad to dark and gritty in the BBC's Luther. One thing that always remains consistent though is the brilliant detective at the heart of the show.

There has been no shortage of iconic TV detectives over the years, from Magnum P.I. to Scooby-Doo, and what each has in common is some level of intelligence - after all, it's needed for the job. However, some TV detectives prove their smarts more clearly than others.

Updated on December 3rd, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Thanks to the rise of true crime podcasts and documentaries, even fictional takes on crime and mystery are more popular than ever. TV fans love to see the mind of a good detective at work.

Sitcoms writers love to throw their characters into awkward holiday situations, and New Girl is no exception. Throughout the series, the roommates of 4D celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day on-screen almost every season.

While fans might find the Christmas and Thanksgiving episodes the most memorable, ratings compiled on the Internet Movie Database actually indicate that the audience enjoyed the large variety of the holiday episodes. The highest-rated holiday episodes range from a 7.1 to an 8.1. Only seasons 5 and 7 don't feature holiday episodes for the series.

Updated on November 28th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Since New Girl actors Zooey Deschanel, Hannah Simone, and Lamorne Morris reunited for a podcast about their time on the show in early 2022, New Girl has continued to maintain that popularity on streaming platforms. Fans have rewatched episodes of the show alongside the actors to gain behind-the-scenes information from the podcast. With all of those rewatches,...

The Titans make for an eclectic group of superheroes. Some grew up as sidekicks to other heroes, while others struck out on their own as teens. Some of them have superpowers, but others just have a lot of training and determination. It's also true that only a handful of the Titans have seemingly unlimited influence over others despite not having special abilities like super strength and flight.

That makes for a pretty varied scale of power among the group. The strongest in terms of abilities isn't the same as the best in terms of influence. Sometimes, those superpowers outweigh the ability to influence others, and vice versa. The most powerful Titans are the heroes who have the intelligence to effectively handle their special abilities and the maturity to lead others into battle.

Updated on November 28th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Titans has a fairly large team, though not every team member appears in every season,...

Fans of Sherlock Holmes now have even more mystery to unravel thanks to his little sister. Enola Holmes is Millie Bobby Brown's latest Netflix project, in which she both produces and stars as the titular protagonist. This movie inspired is by The Case Of The Missing Marquess, the first book in a series of novels by Nancy Springer.

Fans of the series will find that the novels are alive in spirit in the movie, and some dialogue is even lifted straight from the page. As with any adaptation of a novel for the screen, however, there are some changes. The changes to Enola Holmes tend to work in the movie's favor, but fans of the movie (or the book) should be prepared for differences in the other medium.

Updated on November 28th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: The first Enola Holmes movie rocketed back into the Netflix Top 10 with the release of Enola Holmes 2.

Anyone with even a passing familiarity with Disney knows that the studio excels at creating compelling animal characters. In particular, they are known for giving audiences some of the most beloved dogs in the history of the movies. From Pluto to Goofy, from Dodger to Lady, these canine companions have become beloved icons of popular culture.

What allows them to be so interesting, though, is just how unique and fully formed a character each one of them is, so it is worth using the zodiac to drill down a little deeper to discover the fascinating aspects of their personalities.

Updated on November 28th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Not every classic Disney dog is strictly a canine companion to a human character. Some are toys, some are actually alien beings, and some are the real stars of the story. There is a huge variety of Disney dogs. Fans can find one...

Every time Titans wraps up a new season, fans are left with lingering questions about where the heroes will go next and which villains will pop up for them. Now streaming its fourth season on HBO Max, Titans has given fans an interesting take on the comic book (and animated) characters fans know and love. Initially, fans might have been skeptical of the new iterations of the characters.

Still, Titans did much better than people originally said. The universe the show created isn’t connected to the Dceu or to the Arrowverse. This means they can offer up their own interpretations of these characters, and they do. While fans recognize the names and vague outlines of the characters, the Titans universe did something different. The bones of the characters remain the same, allowing fans to better understand them by looking at their Myers-Briggs® personality types.

Updated on November 25th, 2022 by...

Fans of DC comic book adaptations have found a darker world in Titans, and as a result, these characters certainly don't have the time for breaks to check their horoscopes on a regular basis. That doesn't mean fans can't discern their zodiac signs from what's been seen on the show.

For fans interested in figuring out which of the heroes they're really most like, analyzing their personality traits and figuring out their zodiac signs can give a great start. A team leader like Dick Grayson, an impulsive hero like Jason Todd, and a rebel like Rose Wilson are easier to figure out than most, but some Titans characters can prove a challenge.

Updated on November 25th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Though plenty of DC Comic fans had their doubts about Titans when it first premiered on DC Universe, it’s proven to be an interesting - and much darker than...

Though Margot Robbie is just over 30 years old, the Australian actress has already appeared in an impressive number of films.

Robbie began acting professionally in 2007, first appearing in the movies ICU and Vigilante. Soon after appearing in both the rom-com About Time and Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, Robbie began to gain international recognition.

Since then, she has appeared in a variety of big films and is set to star in many more. Fans can find her best films through sites like IMDb. The popular entertainment website has assigned every Margot Robbie film a star score (on a scale of 1 to 10) based on the votes of registered users, and these are the best.

Updated on November 19th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Since the original ranking of Margot Robbie’s best movies, she’s been steadily working and racking up credits. Those credits include the incredibly popular...

There are great Disney sidekicks in every Disney movie. In fact, many would argue they are actually the best part of the films. From cute ones to tough ones to cheerful ones, sneaky ones, and more... the great range of side-kicks means they're perfect to pair with the signs of the zodiac.

Behind every great lead there lives a great Disney sidekick, but which one represents your sign of the zodiac?

Updated on November 18th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: A sidekick can make or break a Disney animated movie. If the audience doesn’t like the sidekick, the princess or prince in the center of the story might not earn the trust of the audience either. Not every sidekick has to have exactly the same personality, but there is quite literally a sidekick for everyone. Disney fans can relive their favorite stories and revisit their favorite sidekicks as many times...

Over the course of three Pitch Perfect movies, audience members saw some Barden Bellas leave the a capella group, and others return for just one more performance. The group typically consists of right under a dozen members, which is convenient since that's how many star signs there are in western astrology.

While only a handful of the Barden Bellas get the spotlight in each movie, the audience can see the broad strokes of the personality traits highlighted in the different zodiac signs. Fans can further see just which Barden Bella has the same traits as their own zodiac sign.

Updated on November 17th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: 2022 marked the tenth anniversary of the release of Pitch Perfect in theaters. The movie ushered acapella music into the spotlight and paved the way for singing competitions and the success of groups like Pentatonix. The success of the movie’s sequels has had...

Although the popularity of witches in no way rivals that of zombies, ghosts, or demons, witch mythology has been around for hundreds of years. For the most part, they either resembled a decrepit old hag, which was normally their true form, or disguised themselves as a beautiful young woman. Nevertheless, witches always had abilities of differing strengths, able to cast spells, brew potions, and manipulate circumstances to meet their ends.

Ultimately, witches came to represent the mystery and suppression of female sexuality in many cultures, which is why so many witches employ the power of seduction. They are often the woman scorned, seeking revenge or questing for power so that they may be never be suppressed again.

While the majority of big-screen portrayals of witches show the dark side of witchcraft, occasionally there will be a good witch among them. As Halloween approaches, it's time to celebrate the good and the bad,...

Practical Magic might have that old '90s feel, complete with special effects that make many a modern-day viewer cringe, but that doesn't mean it can't accomplish some substantial spookiness. Sometimes old special effects are the best ones, bringing an aspect of the bizarre to a film that you just don't see these days. This is only one of the reasons that this 1998 classic is a go-to if a person is looking to feel spooked.

The film overall rounds out into a piece of family feel-good content, but in the midst of the family drama a lot goes wrong--it is a family of witches, after all. From the first scene of the movie when the ancestor of the family sets a curse that no man shall ever love an Owens witch and live to tell the tale, the charm of the story is peppered with an unsettling effect, as can...

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous detectives of all time. He's appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows. However, when Enola Holmes premiered, it gave the audience a rare chance to view a Holmesian story via the eyes of another character - Sherlock's equally intelligent and determined younger sister, Enola.

Played by Millie Bobby Brown, the titular heroine manages to save multiple people in the movie, most notably the young viscount Tewkesbury, who goes on to become her good friend. The film isn't short on intriguing characters, so there's a hero or a villain that fits each zodiac sign, giving fans the chance to find out which Enola Holmes character is most similar to them.

Updated on November 15th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: With the release of Enola Holmes 2 on Netflix, the world of Sherlock’s younger sister expands into more mysteries - and in meeting new friends and adversaries.

The worst thing a horror movie can do is create characters that are so flat and boring, they might as well be paper cutout dolls. Unfortunately, this is a common problem in the horror genre where there is not enough concentration on character development, and therefore the audience doesn't care as much about whether or not the characters live or die in the film.

Luckily, there are a handful of excellent horror movies where the characters shine through and are given colorful personalities that only add to the suspense of the film. Here is a list of The Mbti® Types from some fan-favorite horror movie main characters!

Updated on November 14th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator usually involves an individual taking a series of tests to determine their personality type. Since fictional characters cannot take those tests themselves, however, there are fans who enjoy examining the personalities of characters themselves.

2018 marked the 20th anniversary of one of Disney's first ever original movies, and a fan favorite, Halloweentown. The original movie went on to spawn three sequels - Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown. Fans love to rewatch these movies every year around Halloween, and Disney still plays them on its channel to this day. What is so special about Halloweentown that makes fans keep coming back for more?

There are so many things to love about the Halloweentown movies. There's the nostalgia, the not-so-high-tech special effects, and the all around family Halloween fun. Debbie Reynolds, of course, shines in her role as Aggie, the magical witch grandmother to Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie. Marnie, played by Kimberly J. Brown (until she was recast in the fourth film with Sarah Paxton) is a massive fan favorite as well. To this day, Brown is asked about her time in the Halloweentown movies,...

The movie Practical Magic is about many things: romance, family, betrayal, and, of course, magic! But of the several themes packed into this classic, the one that stands out the most is that of the sisterhood shared by the two lead characters Sally and Gillian, played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

Sally and Gillian are as different as could be, and have many conflicts between them - but what sisters don't? It's the very complicated quality of their relationship that speaks to viewers and makes the dialogue between them such a pleasure to look back on.

Updated on November 14th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Practical Magic is one of those movies that tends to evoke the feeling of autumn for audience members. It’s beloved for its romance and its strong themes regarding sisterhood - not just between Sally and Gilly, but between Sally’s daughters, the aunts, and...

When Black Panther landed in theaters, the titular character wasn't just the king of Wakanda, but also the box office, and there were plenty of people talking about Marvel’s on screen superhero T’Challa. T’Challa isn’t the only hero in Marvel Comics to don the Black Panther habit though. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe presented Black Panther as an inherited title, the Marvel Comics do not. Instead, leaders and warriors in the 18 tribes in Wakanda can challenge the current Black Panther for the right to wear the habit and ingest the heart-shaped-herb. There is, of course, a catch.

In the normal Marvel continuity, noted as Earth-616, the heart-shaped-herb doesn’t agree with anyone not of royal blood and can make them ill. That herb is necessary to achieve the enhanced senses and reflexes of the Black Panther. Also needed is the approval of the Panther god, Bast.

Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra introduced bending masters who could inspire awe and crush their opponents with a single move. Half the fun of watching either series came from the excitement of incredible benders going toe-to-toe over the fate of the world. Aang and Korra were advanced benders in their own right, but they fought alongside a number of allies with matchless bending abilities. From the Avatars to their elemental masters to the grandmasters who would occasionally appear to amaze less experienced benders, the Avatar universe had no shortage of powerful benders. These masters would often find their equals in the villains who threatened the balance of the world with their own powerful bending.

Still, not every bender who appeared in the Avatar universe was ready to duel with the best. Avatar had its share of weak benders who could only stand against mediocre foes, if even that.

With Black Panther having a successful live-action movie adaptation, there’s been plenty of attention paid to the title character. Another name fans should know from the Black Panther comics is Shuri, little sister to the hero, heir to the throne of Wakanda, and a Black Panther in her own right. Shuri doesn’t have the same long legacy as her big brother T’Challa, though. While he debuted in 1966, Shuri has existed in comics for just a little over a decade, meaning that when fans got to see her on the big screen, writers had a lot more freedom to make the character their own.

Letitia Wright has already won the hearts of fans who have seen her in the supporting role Black Panther and following that first MCU appearance. Wright brings the teenage Shuri to life complete with the wise cracks of a little sister and the fire of a hero.

Hocus Pocus put a spell on kids and parents alike in 1993 when it landed in theaters. Over 25 years later, it’s become a staple of the Halloween season for twenty and thirty-somethings who grew up watching the movie. Adults still love watching Max, Dani, and Allison battle the Sanderson sisters for a Halloween adventure.

One theory that longtime fans have tossed around the internet for the last few years is that there was more to Allison than there seemed. Some fans think the Sanderson sisters weren’t the only witches in the movie, but that Allison, and potentially more of her family, were witches as well. There’s a lot of evidence to look through.

Spoiler Warning: The following contains spoilers for Season 4 of Stranger Things.

If a group of teenagers can face monsters from an upside-down world, something like The Hunger Games should be a snap, right? Not necessarily. In Stranger Things, the teens at the center of the story find themselves having to survive against supernatural creatures and outsmart secret government agents, but they don't have to fight their own peers.

While some of them would definitely be up to the task, others would not be able to undergo the difficulties of the games without crumbling under the pressure. The games would require very different kinds of strategy and fighting than the teens are used to.

Updated on May 30th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: With Stranger Things Season 4, there are new teenagers introduced to the series. Though Eleven, Mike, and the rest of their Party are adept at fighting for their lives against supernatural threats,...

Not enough people give Naruto, credit for its plot twists. Throughout the anime, there have several moments of great foreshadowing which have led to some of the greatest reveals ever seen in anime.

This often took the form of characters betraying each other. It makes sense as shinobi are known for infiltrating and hiding their true intentions from their enemies. These betrayals often had profound impacts on the story and further engaged fans

Updated on July 6, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: Betrayals are just as common in the Naruto franchise as a fight scene that spans multiple episodes. Some of the most beloved characters have betrayed people repeatedly in the series, like Sasuke Uchiha. The greatest betrayals are those that reveal information about the character (as each of Sasuke's do) but also help to move the story along. Without these betrayals, the Naruto story would have been drastically different. ...

The newest Spider-Man franchise has definitely been making waves, and fans can't get enough of Tom Holland's Peter Parker and the rest of the fun and dynamic characters that this installment has brought to the big screen. With two movies already out, there's a lot of villains, heroes, and sidekicks to get to know in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With the inclusion of Disney+ series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and several new movies on the way, the MCU is steadily introducing new characters to the audience. Many of those characters happen to be ones who are of a new generation compared to the current Avengers. They also have their own comic book origins.

While the teaming up of Helmut Zemo and Bucky Barnes in The Falcon And The Winter Soldier has some fans wondering if a screen adaptation of the comic book Thunderbolts is on the way, others are looking to a different team-up. With so many children and teenagers making appearances in the MCU, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the Young Avengers are on the way. Just who are the Young Avengers? Several characters who could be Young Avengers will appear in projects over the next few years,...

Shonda Rhimes has managed to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood with shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder. And whether fans are talking about Rhimes' past shows or rumored upcoming projects, there's never any doubt that they will feature an incredible group of memorable female characters.

Of course, just because they are memorable, that doesn't make them likable. One of the hallmarks of Shondaland shows is brilliantly written, complex women who fans are expected to dislike. Whether they are literal murderers or just lacking in empathy, there are as many leading ladies in these worlds that fans love to hate as there are main characters they straight-up love.

Updated on February 27th, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: As Shonda Rhimes continues to expand her television empire with streaming deals on Netflix,...

Bellamy Blake quickly became a fan favorite in the very first season of The 100. He goes from a selfish individual who really only cares about his own and his sister's survival to someone who wants what's best for the entire human race. He becomes a real hero.

Bellamy also, however, becomes one of the most tragic figures in the series. Everything that he works for - peace and unity - are things he doesn't get to see come to fruition. Instead, when his time in the series comes to an end, it's when the people he's been closest to in the world are on the opposite side.

Updated on April 30th, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: The final season of The 100 remains one that splits fans of the series right down the middle. While some think it provides a fitting conclusion to the...

Disney might be best known for its incredible heroes, but they wouldn't be able to have those fantastic characters without having great villains to oppose them. Over the years, there have been a real variety of villains, from sorcerers to lions and everything in between.

While there have been some fantastic male villains, Disney has done a great job with making some very strong and fearsome female characters as well. There have been some truly excellent female villains, all of which have played huge impacts within their movies, providing great stumbling blocks for the heroes, but which of these characters are the greatest?

Updated on April 29th, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: During Disney's reign as the supreme leaders in recreating fairy tales and fantasy stories, there have been a lot of villains. Very few of them get...

When Netflix took on the animated Winx Club for a live-action adaptation, plenty were skeptical of the concept working as a dark and gritty fantasy series. The first season of Fate: The Winx Saga debuted on the streaming platform to mixed reviews, but for the most part, the changes made to the original storyline streamline the plot and make it accessible for those unfamiliar with the large cast of characters.

That large cast of characters, however, does mean that the audience can find any number of fairies and specialists to relate to. By examining their personalities, fans can even determine their zodiac sign, though they might not match up to their elemental gifts - or even the birthdates the audience knows from the show.

The new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series WandaVision brought Scarlet Witch and The Vision to Disney+ in a world that looks just like the sitcoms of years past. However, along with the two former Avengers members, there are also kooky neighbors, including a next-door neighbor, Agnes.

Rumors prove true as Agnes is none other than Marvel Comics witch Agatha Harkness. While Agatha used to appear as an old woman in the comics, more recent appearances have her in a younger body once again, making her youthful appearance despite her age in WandaVision make perfect sense. Just who is Agatha Harkness? Though there are differences in the McU's adaptation, the comic book backstory for the character can provide some interesting information for fans.

One of the most popular and beloved shonen anime, Naruto and Naruto Shippuden paved the way for a new generation of viewers to enjoy the stories of Konoha as its Jinchuriki ended up on a quest to save the entire shinobi world from annihilation... and his best friend from himself.

So, it's a given that one of the best parts of the long-running series would be the likable characters, and Naruto definitely doesn't falter in that aspect. From the eponymous protagonist himself to his long line of friends and enemies, Naruto is full to the brim with some of the greatest characters of any fictional medium, with their stories propelled forward through both individual narrative arcs and the overarching story. However, some characters in Naruto do enjoy better development and stories compared to others.

There are more than 500 versions of the story of Cinderella found across the globe. Filmmakers have taken this story and recreated some of the most impressive live-action renditions that keep the tale entertaining. For Disney fans, the 1950 animated version is the most memorable version of the glass slipper story, based on the famous 1697 French novel Cendrillon written by the French author Charles Perrault, but there are dozens of live-action Cinderella movies as well.

A still more surprising fact is that the story can be traced back to a Greek historian who wrote a tale about a Greco-Egyptian Cinderella, Rhodopis, in the first century B.C.E. Many Cinderella works have since then been released with different adaptations of the story. Ranking all versions of Cinderella would nearly be impossible, but the greatest of them all deserve recognition..

Their lives and their fame on the internet led to plenty of adventures, taking them to New York City and Japan, for instance. Their comedy and teen angst, alongside their web show, made for plenty of unforgettable moments and episodes that audiences love to this day.

Updated on March 27th, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: Though iCarly went off the air in 2012, the series remains as popular as ever. It's so popular, in fact, that a revival series is set to air on streaming service Paramount Plus with most of the original cast members reprising their roles.

After six years and seven seasons, The 100 came to an end. The series spanned multiple wars, planets, and countless characters. In the end, only a handful of the main cast was able to see it through to the conclusion of the series. The final couple of seasons took many ambitious twists and turns, having the characters face the ultimate test in the end from the Judge in terms of whether or not humanity deserves "transcendence."

Ultimately, Clarke failed the test, but Raven was able to appeal to the being and show that humanity does have the ability to grow and learn. As the rest of humanity transcends into a higher, metaphysical realm, Clarke seemingly remains behind, until it's revealed that almost all of her friends have decided to remain with her. In many ways, the finale ties up almost all loose ends throughout the series.

Years before Supernatural became a sensation, X-Files proved to be a ratings hit for viewers when it comes to dense mythology mixed with Monster of the Week episodes.

As with Supernatural, there were great Monsters of the Week episodes that were often even better than the mythology episodes themselves. This is where the scariest episodes also resided, featuring many horrifying monsters, creepy storylines, and disturbing moments.

Updated on July 1st, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: Not every fan was happy with the X-Files revival series, but the original series is still looked at fondly by fans. The mythology might not have always made sense, but the scariest threats in the series still hold up nearly three decades later.

Updated on August 1st, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: It seems that every decade has an iconic musical that latches onto the pop-culture consciousness and won't let go.

The main character, Joel, is played by former Teen Wolf star Dylan O'Brien. Joel has a lot of the same charm as Teen Wolf's Stiles as a result, which means a lot of the best lines in the film are courtesy of him. He's got a knack for sarcasm tinged with emotion, making for some great delivery of his lines. Though Joel does have most of the memorable lines, he's not the only one with great quotes from Love And Monsters.
