Comic book based movies and TV shows have taken over today's entertainment business. Here are some of the best moments we've seen.

5: The death of Gwen Stacey

The Amazing Spiderman 2 arguably wasn't the in the top 10 for greatest comic book movies in a long run, but one thing they did right (though it broke every Spiderman fans heart watching it) was the death of Gwen Stacey. Seeing Andrew Garfield break down destroyed nearly everyone even if they weren't satisfied with the film.

4: The death of Jason Todd/the second Robin and the introduction of the Red Hood

Batman has always had some amazing and well known storylines. If you mention Death in the Family to any Batman fan they would instantly know what you were talking about. In 2010 they released an animated movie about the story which is arguably one of the best Batman animated feature created to this day. With Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural taking on the role of Jason Todd aka the Red Hood, they really couldn't find anyone better for the job. With the release of the Batman Vs Superman this last spring, which made a clear point to show the destroyed Robin costume- it makes me wonder if soon we will be seeing Jason in the DC cinematic universe sometime in the future.


3: Captain America vs Iron Man in Civil War

Captain America and Iron Man are basically opposites when it comes to nearly anything. So when in both the comics and the movie Stark signs the Accords, they obviously clash. The overall battle of the two was probably one of the greatest things to happen in 2016 on the big screen, though the comic series and movie ended on two completely different notes.


2: We finally see Deadpool in action

Nothing else really needs to be said.


1: Negan's Victim

One of the most devastating moments for fans of The Walking Dead was by far watching Abraham and Glenn being brutally murdered by Negan in the season premier at the end of October. Though they changed it so Glenn wasn't the only victim of Negan's attack, it was still a perfect rendition of the comic book.

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.
