Trust Me, Wonder Man is Nothing Like You Expect (It’s So Much Better) [Review]

by

I’ve been completely captivated by Wonder Man. It’s not what I expected at all – it feels like a really unique blend of shows I love, like Atlanta and The Studio, with a superhero element that’s present, but doesn’t overwhelm everything. The comedy, especially with Andrew Guest’s history on Community and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, feels so natural and clever – a huge relief compared to some other superhero shows that try too hard to be funny. Honestly, it’s a surprisingly brilliant and quirky show, and I think everyone should give it a chance. It might not be perfect, but there are moments when it genuinely feels like a masterpiece.

Naruto: 5 Times Sakura Proved She’s The Best Girl

by

This animation studio has a reputation for changing characters, particularly female ones. A prime example is how they simplified Orihime’s story in Bleach, removing much of the tragic depth she had in the original manga. Despite criticism from fans and these changes, Sakura Haruno consistently demonstrates her strength and abilities throughout the series. Although she doesn’t receive as much attention as Naruto and Sasuke, she has many impressive moments that clearly establish her as the best character in the show.

The crypto market’s in a mood, darling, and it’s not the good kind. Altcoins are sulking in the corner, bulls are puffing their chests but looking nervous, and everyone’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or maybe it’s a whale. A big, fat, Ethereum-hoarding whale. Speaking of which, CryptoQuant’s got its magnifying glass out, claiming ETH is cozying up to a “never broken” support line. Fancy that! A safety net woven by the tears of long-term accumulators. How quaint.

Sometimes, simply seeing a scene animated makes it better, while other times the anime adds extra details that enhance the best parts of the story. These improvements demonstrate how the anime adaptation surpasses the original, popular manga.

Paralyzed By Hope: The Maria Bamford Story Review – Judd Apatow’s Essential Sundance Portrait of a Singular Comic

by

Judd Apatow and Neil Berkeley tell Maria Bamford’s life story in a straightforward way, but with the help of editor James Leche, they skillfully showcase her incredible stage performances. The film clearly connects her personal experiences to how she uses them in her comedy. Starting with her experimental performance art days in Minneapolis in 1994, featuring a violin, and continuing through her recent early morning shows at Public Displays of Altadena (PDA)—a unique clown theater sadly destroyed in the 2024 Eaton Fires—Paralyzed by Hope is a complete introduction to a truly original artist.
