    Captain America: Brave New World may have been a bit of a mess, but against all odds, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was able to cobble together a mostly satisfying entry in the Captain America series. Brave New World was able to kick-start several major MCU elements that the general fan base had been waiting for -- acknowledgment of Celestial Island, the introduction of Adamantium, the start of a new Avengers team and the return of several threads left lingering since 2008's The Incredible Hulk.

    Published 2 minutes ago Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account Pixar has a great track record of putting out quality films for the younger crowd that even adults can enjoy -- Monsters Inc. being chief among them. While not all have been home runs, the majority of them have scratched the sentimental itch many audiences are looking for when heading to a theater for an animated adventure.

    LOST is known for its character-driven drama set against the backdrop of mysterious, sci-fi events. To properly tell a story as vast as LOST, some mythology is bound to be featured.

I give you 3,800 words on Bernie Sanders — an eternally popular politician who has found greater levels of consensus than ever before.
