K-Pop and K-Dramas: BTS in the Soop

Hi! It’s Annie! I finally just finished watching all of ‘Bon Voyage’ as well as the equivalent this year because of quarantine; the COVID safe ‘BTS in the Soop’. Obviously, the year of 2020 made it difficult if not impossible for anyone to travel anywhere and it wasn’t safe to do so either, so theContinue reading “K-Pop and K-Dramas: BTS in the Soop”

Book Adaptations: How the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Series Destroyed Queenie

Hey! Hallie here! I recently re-watched the first ‘Fantastic Beasts’ film and was immediately reminded of how much I loved Queenie in the first film. She’s feminine without being made fun of for being “too girly”. Her Legilimens powers were incredibly interesting and they promised an interesting future for the character once her powers becameContinue reading “Book Adaptations: How the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Series Destroyed Queenie”

Marvel: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 2

Hi! It’s Annie! Yesterday the second episode of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ premiered and I have a lot of thoughts again. I think everybody agreed that this episode had some annoying plot points, but some of it was meant to be annoying. However, there were several things that I’m not sure were meantContinue reading “Marvel: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 2”

Superheroes: ‘The Suicide Squad’ Trailer is Out!

Hey! Hallie here! This morning ‘The Suicide Squad’ trailer dropped and it would be an understatement to say that many people are looking forward to it. James Gunn has been very successful with his ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies, and his work there has proven him to be one of the best choices to tackleContinue reading “Superheroes: ‘The Suicide Squad’ Trailer is Out!”

K-Pop and K-Dramas: ITZY as a Rookie Group

Hi! It’s Annie! I’ve already done a post like this about Everglow, who is probably my favorite girl group right now. But it’s always difficult to look at rookie groups and not hear the name ITZY. Rookie groups are constantly compared to each other, and I feel like ITZY and Everglow have been pitted theContinue reading “K-Pop and K-Dramas: ITZY as a Rookie Group”

K-Pop and K-Dramas: What I Learned About BTS After Finishing ‘Bon Voyage’

Hey! Hallie here! After I finished season 1 of ‘Bon Voyage’ I made a post highlighting what it would be like to travel with each member of BTS. But that first season was filmed quite a few years ago. Now that I’ve finished watching the series and seen how these boys have changed overtime, IContinue reading “K-Pop and K-Dramas: What I Learned About BTS After Finishing ‘Bon Voyage’”

Superheroes: The Female Characters in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’

Hi! It’s Annie! Over the weekend was actually the first time I watched ‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’ in it’s entirety. I know, I know, that’s weird. Most everybody has seen that movie by now. But I can’t say that before watching it I was entirely unfamiliar with it. Almost everybody knows about this movieContinue reading “Superheroes: The Female Characters in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’”

Book Adaptations: Harry Potter Professors Ranked

Hey! Hallie here! Harry Potter has tons of loveable characters and almost an equal amount of deliciously dislikable ones. This is no different for the professors at Hogwarts. There are professors that are horrible people and horrible teachers, there are professors that are some of the best characters in the entire series, and there’s everyContinue reading “Book Adaptations: Harry Potter Professors Ranked”

Comfort Movies: Now You See Me

Hi! It’s Annie! It’s that time again where I need to talk about some of my favorite comfort movies that have gotten me through this entire year of quarantine. ‘Now You See Me’ is a movie that I can say with absolute confidence was definitely slept on. Maybe you’ve heard of it in passing, maybeContinue reading “Comfort Movies: Now You See Me”

K-Pop and K-Dramas: Infantilizing Idols

Hey! Hallie here! This specifically is an interesting problem because it’s something both fans of K-Pop and those who dislike K-Pop suffer from. It’s prevalent in multiple groups as well, though, being ARMY, I tend to notice it most in the BTS fandom. This problem doesn’t stem from using the term “baby” to describe aContinue reading “K-Pop and K-Dramas: Infantilizing Idols”
