CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR- A Battle to Remember
"This job, you try to save as many people as you can. That doesn't mean everybody, but you don't give up". A quote said by Captain America himself (Chris Evans) in his new solo film by Marvel Studios, Captain America: Civil War, even though he is accompanied by an ensemble cast of Marvel superheroes including new and old allies. But nonetheless the film itself explores the meaning of this quote a lot and what it means to the very character of a superhero as two split factions of The Avengers try to explore this, one led by …

Is #OscarsSoWhite Worth It?
So the nominations for the Oscars have come out, and for the most part the nominations are the ones that I mostly expected to appear. But a controversy has arise, as they always do when it comes to the Academy Awards. We see that in the second year in a row there were no people of color, specifically in this issue everybody brings up, black African-American talent, who were nominated for an Oscar. Now I'll be honest, when I first realized this was an issue again, I was angry. As I felt I had a right to be, myself being a black African…
