The level of continuity the MCU has managed is truly impressive....
However, as much as the social networks may prefer us to use their native apps for all our social activities, this can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming if you engage in social media marketing. None include built-in scheduling facilities, and it is not practical for marketers to go online every time that they feel they should make a post. Imagine Jeff Bullas, who averages 96 tweets per day every day, having to go onto Twitter every 15 minutes, 24 hours per day, seven days per week....

Actors have to look the part. That’s kind of their whole thing, aside from being able to act, of course. The problem is that sometimes lead actresses gets pregnant… while her character does not. Then what do you do? Well, if you’re the writers and showrunners of these shows, you get inventive. Whether fans can see right through the ruse or whether the storyline is just downright offensive, sometimes these ideas just really do not work at all....
When Sons of Anarchy finished its 7 years run on FX, back in 2014, many fans wondered if the show would get its own spin-off. Maybe even a prequel or sequel series. For years speculation abound that an idea was in the works and would soon be brought to light. When Mayans M.C. was finally announced, it caught some fans off guard, fearing it would be too different from Sons of Anarchy to work....
Cobra Kai has done an excellent job of bringing back characters we knew and loved from The Karate Kid. Moving forward, the show has more than just the first movie to pull from.

As the show incorporates more of the franchise’s older characters, we list 10 characters we’d like to see make an appearance....

Studios and directors don’t always see eye to eye. Sometimes the filmmaker has a high enough pedigree to get their way regardless, but in some cases the forces funding and allowing the project to enter production take control away from the creator, drastically altering the final results. A little bit of a leash on a creator isn’t always bad, but it usually is a red flag. The following ten examples are notorious for the studio butting in and changing the director’s intended vision....
Family-centric shows have become a rarity these days, as the TV landscape has gone in the opposite direction, and adult-oriented material has become the norm. However, there are those who prefer the “good old days,” with Full House remaining a favorite in this regard. That doesn’t mean that the show is the only option you have for this genre, as there are several others that will appeal to fans just the same....
At the end of 2018, fans had a nervous breakdown over a notice on Netflix’s page indicating that Friends would no longer be available to stream as of Jan. 1, 2019. Thankfully, it was a false alarm, and the iconic hit TV series will still be available on Netflix in both the United States and Canada throughout 2019. Even so, nothing lasts forever and eventually, Netflix viewers have to plan for the inevitable....
The Coen brothers’ critically acclaimed No Country for Old Men, adapted from the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, is a prime example of the neo-western genre. Much like the neo-noir, the neo-western takes the tropes and motifs and themes of the traditional western and transplants them into a modern setting, as opposed to the usual placement in frontier times. With bleak desert landscapes, senseless violence, corrupt lawmen, and morally dubious antiheroes running from a dark past, the neo-western produces some powerful movies....

Harry Potter is a wonderful world of magic and wonder. It’s captivated its fans for years now, and shows no sign of stopping any time soon. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean that the universe, or its writer, is infallible. Mistakes happen. More often than not, fans are willing to overlook these mistakes – unless they happen in a movie, and then we’re all too gleeful to point them out. It’s unlikely that any of us will ever get over Peeves being left out, or the lack of calm contained in a certain question....
Storylines are the bulk of any long-lasting series. To be successful, storylines need to weave into one another seamlessly and build on the overarching themes. However, good storylines mix well with the other storylines, but also hold the attention of the viewer in memorable ways. Without a certain quality of distinction, most storylines will fade into obscurity. This is not a golden rule of writing, but examples of it can be seen in the series all over the spectrum....
In the 2000s, edgy teen dramas truly hit their zenith. With ridiculously soapy love triangles, shocking betrayals, and even the occasional murder, television for teens was darker and more addictive than ever. Beginning in 2004, however, one show entered the scene and proved itself willing to get darker than any of its contemporaries: the UPN (and, eventually, CW) series Veronica Mars. The series followed the life of a hard-boiled teenage private eye with plenty of emotional trauma and baggage to boot....
Disney has accumulated some of the highest grossing movies of all time, and that’s largely due to the unstoppable MCU.

It has been fascinating to watch the superhero genre evolve after so many annual capes and fireworks....

Starting off as a competition to find America’s Next Drag Superstar, the show has skyrocketed to a level of notoriety that anyone could enjoy. With a group of drag queens entering the competition every year, fans have grown to love and admire countless queens, many of which have never managed to win a crown....
The Boys is the sort of visceral superhero-themed series that fits so perfectly into a post-Avengers landscape it’s almost hard to believe it’s based on a comic that premiered long before they suited up. It began in the mid-’00s, when the MCU and Marvel Phase 1 was a twinkle in Disney’s eye. It couldn’t have predicted the superhero fatigue audiences may be feeling now, but it provided an acceptable post-Watchmen look at a world in which superheroes are treated as celebrities, and greedy corporations exploit their escapades for profit, resulting in the complete decay of their moral fiber....
