In this collection of eight short stories, author Carmen Maria Machado explores the lives of women through a journey into psychological realism, fantasy, horror, and more. In “The Husband Stitch”, a husband attempts to remove the green ribbon tied around his wife’s neck — her only secret. In “The Resident”, a writer has trouble reckoning with her childhood trauma while vacationing in isolation at an artists’ retreat. In “Especially Heinous”, the show Law and Order: SVU is reimagined with doppelgängers, insanity, and the ghosts of raped and murdered girls.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a spectacular movie .Everything you can ask for in a movie is clustered into this new and improved movie. This has action, comedy, adventure, mystery, and stupidity. The story begins with five members who have nothing in common. They steal from an organization that they recently helped and they were being hunted. They crashed into a planet and met Star-Lord’s, the leader of the Guardians, father. This movie is different from the first movie and I know that is why I like it.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an acquired taste. I recommend this movie for people who are not serious all the time. This movie is funny, confusing, tasteful, and weird. It starts with five members who have nothing in common and all come together to kill each other because a character, Star-Lord, was carrying an Infinity Stone. They go to prison, fly a ship, beat up Kree soldiers, and hold an Infinity Stone.
After Captain America Civil War, when T’Challa’s father was murdered by Zemo, T’Challa returned to Wakanda. Wakanda is powered by vibranium; since the King of Wakanda was murdered, T’Challa was the rightful heir to the title. T’Challa became the Black Panther and doing so created new forces he could not compete with.
Doctor Strange is different from the Marvel characters we currently know. Instead of physically fighting, Doctor Strange resorts to the arts of magic to defend himself and the multiversal barrier between magic and reality. Steven Strange was a neurosurgeon who got caught into a car crash. He went on an adventure to see if his hands could be fixed but on his way he discovered magic. I like how Doctor Strange is different from other superheroes in the Marvel Universe because he shows a type of skill and a unique personality against every other character.
Iron Man 3 was my favorite Iron Man movie throughout the whole Avengers timeline. In this movie we see Tony Stark instead of Iron Man. After the first Avengers movie when Captain America said, “without that suit who are you” this movie came out with Tony Stark losing everything. I liked this movie because it showed that Tony Stark did not need a suit to save the world but he needed his brain. The main villain in this movie is the Mandurian who destroys every suit Tony Stark owned.
I would recommend Captain Marvel for people who like Marvel movies where a superhero struggles to find himself/herself. In Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was struggling with her ability to hold her powers in. Over time, throughout the movie, she learned to control her power and met Nick Fury, who became her friend, on Earth.
Captain America the Winter Soldier is an amazing movie to watch if you loved the first movie. It displays a new life where Steve Rogers works for Shield and learns that Hydra has been hiding under their noses inside Shield for years. Captain America teams up with Black Widow and the presumed to be dead Nick Fury to stop the Winter Soldier and to take down Hydra. I loved watching this movie because it was different from the first one.
The Avengers is an amazing movie and has every hero from the previous Phase 1 movies. I love this movie because it connects to a masterplan instead of a one movie – one battle story. In this movie Loki is the villain where he does Rohan’s bidding. The Avengers is the first movie to a sequence of greater movies ahead and without watching this movie you will not be able to understand every single detail in the other three movies.
Out of every Marvel Movie in their Phase 1 collection, this was my favorite. It was funny, action packed, and adventurous. The movie starts with an introduction to the overconfident God of Thunder and the God of Mischief. Thor is banished to Earth where he meets Jane Foster and others. A Destroyer came to Earth and Thor had to use his powers and learn how to be a hero to go back to Asgard. This is the first movie in Marvel Studios that shows Hawkeye and introduces him in a brief time. I recommend his movie to many Marvel fans and many comedy fans.
