Highlights From San Diego Comic Con 2017
When Nerds Attack

This past weekend, San Diego Comic Con happened. For those who don't know what SDCC is, it is one of the most anticipated fan events of the year. It is where casts from upcoming movies and casts from popular TV shows go to share news, trailers, exclusive footage, and more to fans. Here are some of the highlights from SDCC that are sure to get you excited for the next year in film and TV.

1. Thor: Ragnarok trailer

The third installment in the Thor films has a star studded cast, including Cate Blanchet and Jeff Goldblum, and Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk/ Bruce Banner. The trailer is filled with color and introductions to some new fierce characters. Also, the Hulk finally speaks! You can watch the trailer here:

2. Marvel's The Defenders trailer

Marvel has now had four shows on Netflix, those shows being Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Now, all four heroes are coming together to form The Defenders in this new show, to protect New York City, mainly Manhattan. Joining the cast will be Sigourney Weaver playing the villain. Here is the official trailer from SDCC:

3. Avengers: Infinity War teaser trailer

The third Avengers film is going to be huge. The Guardians of Galaxy will meet the Avengers for the first time, joining forces to defeat Thanos, a villain who has been slowly building up to this moment in the MCU for years with the Infinity Stones. Unfortunately, the teaser trailer that was presented to fans at SDCC has not been released online to the public, but according to fans who were there, the teaser shows a big battle with the Guardians and Avengers fighting alongside each other against Thanos.

4. Justice League extended trailer

Moving onto DC, an extended trailer for Justice League was released at SDCC. Batman and Wonder Woman are recruiting a team of metahumans, including The Flash, Aquman, and Cyborg in this new trailer you can watch here:

5. Kingsman: The Golden Circle trailer

The sequel to the first Kingsman movie arrives in theatres this September and once again stars Taron Egerton and Colin Firth. Joining them in the cast will be Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, and Channing Tatum. The trailer is full of action and looks like a really exciting sequel. Watch the trailer below!

6. Stranger Things season 2 trailer

Obviously, Stranger Things was a huge hit when it premiered on Netflix last summer and people are waiting impatiently for season 2 to premiere this October. Fans were treated with the official season 2 trailer at SDCC this past weekend and it shows the gang of kids still being haunted by the Upside Down and looking for Eleven. Also, the use of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson as the music in the trailer was quite a fitting touch.


7. Blade Runner 2049

The second trailer for the sequel to 1982's Blade Runner was actually released before SDCC, but of course there wast still a panel for the movie. The trailer shows that its cinematography is very much like that of the original film. Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as Rick Deckard, alongside Ryan Gosling who will be the new star of the franchise.

I don't know about you, but I am quite excited for the next year in movies and television.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
