What Happened at the Iron Fist Panel at NYCC 2016
We Got This Covered

The Marvel/Netflix TV originals took New York Comic Con 2016 by storm, as they announced new details about upcoming shows, shared some exciting videos, and updated audiences about some new casting choices. It seems like every week at least one person is raving about these television shows, and this praise is definitely warranted. Daredevil, JessicaJones, and LukeCage have all wowed both critics and the general public with their stunning visuals, discussion on difficult topics, intriguing characters, and heart-thumping action. So, it was no wonder that everyone was anticipating the Marvel/Netflix panels at NYCC 2016. And, of course, they definitely delivered. Here are all of the things announced at NYCC 2016 and some extremely exciting developments that were shared during the panels.

The Iron Fist Trailer

Every new Marvel/Netflix original trailer brings so much excitement and thrill, and this one is no exception. With such little amount of actual screen-time, this trailer is able to rile up fans and get them to beg for new episodes – even though Luke Cage just came out. Like Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter), the character of Iron Fist (Finn Jones) – aka Danny Rand – has not really been in mainstream media, so the character seems much more enticing than if it were to be someone more well-known. The character and his powers seem really interesting, which also makes the show really intriguing. There are, of course, a lot of questions that come with this small trailer, which makes the wait all the more agonizing.

Deborah Ann Woll joins The Punisher

It’s a curious choice that the writers made when they decided to cast Deborah Ann Woll, who plays Karen Page in Daredevil, as what is a seemingly significant role in The Punisher. Without spoiling season two of Daredevil, it does make sense that this would happen, but it’s unexpected that she would play such a big role. It also appears to mean that this will be a sort of continuation of Daredevil rather than displaying the Punisher’s (Jon Bernthal) backstory, which is following the trend of these series, which is to continue the building of the universe rather than go backward in time. It will be an interesting to see when they put it into action, but it also might turn out to be a great choice, since she did have a sort of impact on the Punisher’s thought process during the second season of Daredevil.

Sigourney Weaver will play the villain in Marvel’s The Defenders

Announcing that Sigourney Weaver was going to be a villain of the upcoming Defenders series was just icing on the cake. Weaver is such a great actor with a fantastic resume, and seeing her join what is already an amazing cast is something so great to see. Because she mostly plays a hero-type roll, it will be refreshing to see her as a villain. Since there have already been some spectacular villains written on each of these shows, it will be extremely exciting to see her in action as a comic book villain.

Season 1 of Iron Fist is set to premiere March 17, 2016, Season 1 of The Defenders is set for 2017, Season 1 of The Punisher is set for 2017, Season 2 of Jessica Jones is set for 2018 (at the earliest), and Season 3 of Daredevil is set for 2018 (at the earliest. (Luke Cage has not been officially renewed, but, if it is, it is likely to come in 2019.)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
