The seven Harry Potter books were made into eight movies between 2001 and 2011. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first film, and Warner Bros. is planning a big celebration.

As a result, a system for registering and controlling these individuals was proposed. Iron Man supported government oversight (through the United Nations in the MCU), while Captain America championed individual freedom.

I’ve been hooked on The Bear since it first came out in 2022, and I’ve really gotten used to new seasons dropping around late June every year – it was so predictable! But things are a little different this time. They surprised us with a special episode just yesterday, on May 5th, and now they’ve announced that the next season will be the last. It feels like they’re getting everything ready for one final, amazing serving.
