¿Quién es "El Gallo"?
PART ONE: AN INTRODUCTION Try to remember the kind of September, When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September, When grass was green and grain was yellow. Try to remember the kind of September, When you were a tender and callow fellow. Try to remember and if you remember, Then follow.

Professional Wrestling is cyclical. It will have periods where it is worth watching and others where it isn't. Triple H has done a much better job than I thought he would as a boss. Cody vs Roman this past Wrestlemania was amazing. The lead-up was amazing. The Rock went from beloved WWE superstar to psychotic Heel.
DJ RobbinsPublished 29 minutes ago in Geeks'X-Men '97' Just Quietly Resolved One Of The Biggest Cartoon Cliffhangers Of The 90s
WARNING! SPOILERS for X-Men '97, 'Tolerance Is Extinction', parts one through three. The 90s were a golden era for superhero cartoons, with shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man: The Animated series, the iconic original X-Men animated series, and many more aired during this time frame. While many episodes of such shows were self-contained, some featured two-part stories, and a few were even serialized in nature. Unfortunately, cartoon series at the time were often cancelled with little warning, and as a result, some left unresolved cliffhangers.

No matter how anyone feels about it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest properties in pop culture today, and it will likely stay that way for a very long time to come. That being said, the MCU wasn't always the near-exclusive home for live-action adaptations of fans' favorite comic book characters. Like so many other products of their time, some of the most classic Marvel heroes had a place for themselves on the silver and small screens long before the rise of shared multimedia universes as they stand today.
John DodgePublished about 12 hours ago in GeeksMrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I’m not just doing this because I share a birthday with Virginia Woolf. ‘Mrs Dalloway’ happens to be one of the greatest books of realism written in that half of the 20th century. Woolf was known as the seminal author of the genre and, throughout her formative years of writing, she penned some of the most well-known books on the topic of existing that we as readers have ever read. Even though my favourite novel by Virginia Woolf is the madness-induced ‘Jacob’s Room’, I recognise the importance of ‘Mrs Dalloway’ as one of those novels that you have to admit is slightly better by objectivity. Putting personal opinion aside, let us step back into the world of Clarissa Dalloway - the woman who decided to buy the flowers herself that day.

This piece was originally written in 2019 for a graduate school course. Some revisions were made. My first job when I was eighteen years old, wide eyed and bushy tailed and more than willing to do anything to prove myself. It did not matter that I was just working at an AMC, making minimum wage for far too much work and far too irregular schedules. I had to do my best at the job I was given. Sometimes, I put too much into. Way, way too much.
X-Men '97
X-Men ‘97 has been praised for more than just its nostalgia factor. Its classic writing and impressive reflection of the source material made fans declare this one of the MCU’s best projects. They filled a desperate gap as fans have been asking for the X-Men for about a decade now. I do believe their only mistake was how short this season was. With the newest declaration of Marvel Animation being assigned its own division of the MCU (which is always how it's worked by the way. There is no world that exists where tv, film and animation were done by the same people. It was always separate; the declaration does nothing but prove the public’s lack of knowledge about the industry.) We will hopefully see some more X-Men in the coming years. So here we are with the X-Men ‘97 finale.

When we last left our X-Men my sweet sweet Gambit was DEAD, somebody better fix that. Charles is alive and heading back to earth. I love that we are getting more Kurt. And my Storm has her powers back and she knows what happened to Genosha so theoretically she is headed back to the X-Men. The last couple of episodes were extremely emotional so I am hoping for a bit of a break but we now have to deal with the aftermath of Gambit’s death so we will see how that goes.

When we last left X-Men ‘97 lots of shit went down. Genosha and therefore the mutants were admitted into the UN. They are trying to convince us that Rogue and Magneto are a thing (which is super gross by the way) and we are still missing Storm. This now marks the halfway point for the 10 episode season.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished a day ago in GeeksBook Review: "Herc" by Phoenicia Rogerson
I have to say that when it comes to retellings of Ancient Mythologies, I am all for it whatever it is. Jennifer Saint and Costanza Casati both come to mind when we think of these more feminist retellings of myths where characters were previously sidelined for their gender. The books cast a whole new look on these characters who may have been misunderstood. I think that is what I tend to enjoy when it comes to retellings of myths, it is not about knowing the academia of the story inside out, but it is about being able to shed light on a story that is so old that you can still today, offer new interpretations of it. This is quite a new phenomenon from the Mary Renault days and I am here for all of it.
