So I thought I would do a quick little post this week and list a few of the characters I want to see them bring to the big screen. My number one is Ms Marvel, not only is she a relatable character (I too fangirl over every Marvel character) but how cool would it be to get more diversity in the MCU, she's female, she's Muslim, she's badass. I also really want to see the Young Avengers, this was the team that really got me into comics and I think it would be a strong parallel to the current Avengers team. I wouldn't care too much about the line up although I think I would prefer to start with the original team give America Chavez her own movie and then introduce her to the team in a later movie. Obviously now that it looks set for Marvel to get all their properties back I want to see a good Fantastic Four film (there will be another post later on how I hope they do this). The Nova Corps was also hinted towards in the first Guardians of the Galaxy and I would love to

I'll be blunt this movie kind of disappointed me. As a fan of the original Mary Poppins I felt this movie lost the joy and magic of Mary Poppins. The original Mary Poppins had such a positive message that this movie contradicted hugely.  Whilst the songs were catchy, and the acting was good the story didn't have a strong plot and lacked any message or lesson that was key in the first movie, I spent the whole movie trying to figure out why Mary Poppins had returned. The original Mary Poppins had a good message behind it about how there are more important things than money, while this Mary Poppins contradicts the original and tells you that money is important.  I originally thought Mary Poppins had returned to show the Banks kids that they could and should be kids while they still could and the first song even lead me to believe that this was the reason she had returned however it didn’t seem it was as the story then veered away from that idea. I thought maybe she's goin

Welcome to a new series called Marvel Mondays were we discuss theories, news and things we hope happen in the MCU (disclaimer: I am in no way a marvel expert but I do love the movies and the comics even if I haven't read them all so I may sometime write things that are incorrect and I apologize now for that). So since the Spider-Man trailer dropped last week I thought 'hey let's start with that'. I will start by saying that I am excited for this, for me personally I think Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man/Peter Parker so I can't wait to see where his Spider-Man is going to go especially now that he is, as Happy said, "on his own". I also love that the trailer hasn't given anything away timeline wise for EndGame or any other movies, it's not clear exactly when this is taking place (this was obviously shown via the passport not having dates and the fact no one seemed to mention 50% of the population just poofed into dust). However, the trailer

Let me start by saying Happy New Year. Just like everyone else I take this time to look back on the year. At this time of the year it can be easy to get swallowed up with what you want to change, improve and well the dread of knowing that you have to go back to work but I want to reflect on the positives of the year. They say each year 2 big events in your life happen and that was the case for me, there are two things about the year I look back on with fondness and joy and they're experiences I won't ever forget (or at least I hope I don't) however there is a third thing as well that wasn't necessarily big or new or that exciting but might help with looking forward to the future. My first big event was something that for a while I wasn't sure would happen and that was graduating from University. I struggled at uni, I suffered from depression and I wanted to give up, it crushed me emotionally and mentally and if I could go back now to 18 year old me I'd tell h

It feels like forever we've been planning this trip, it's probably been about four years. We always said that when we graduate we needed to take a trip away and where better than the happiest place on earth, it's almost unbelievable that we will soon embark on this trip to remember. In just over 100 days we will get on a plane and meet up in Florida to step foot in the happiest place on earth and to say 100 days can't go fast enough is an understatement (although the money crunch does also set in). Along with sharing our excitement I thought we could also share some tips and tricks we've picked up on booking a dream disney vacation. We put in a lot of research into how to book, the best time to go, the best discounts, Disney on a budget, if there was a video we watched it, if there was a blog post we read it. And while we would have loved to go all out, stay somewhere like the Animal Kingdom Lodge and have a view of the animals from our balcony we knew we would

You know those days where your mind just wanders and you end up fantasising about your future or reflecting heavily on your past, well that happened to me today. I don't know if there was something added to my muffin or I'm suffering from minor exhaustion but my mind decided to take me back to my first year of high school. We're talking almost 9 years ago yet my mind remembers exactly how I felt as a small child walking the halls of high school surrounded by people I thought were adults, twice the size of me, scared and overwhelmed and now I've graduated from university. Now the reason I write this post is not to talk about how much I've grown since then but to help people who feel so stuck in the moment, like there is no future or no hope of getting past something because in high school, where I am now seemed so far away, it felt like I would be in high school for the rest of my life. I struggled with friendships, I had moments where I questioned if it was worth

Think of this as being like Ned's declassified school survival guide (I realise that there are people who are younger than me that have no idea what this is but if you don't google it) but this is for procrastinators specifically it may or may not become a series of posts with the tricks I learnt from my 17+ years of education. I am someone with the inability to focus especially when I have assignments piling up resulting in a sudden desire to learn how ice cream is made by watching 2 hours of YouTube but I have a few tips to help you pull yourself together and get those assignments in on time to a somewhat high standard. So the big tip for this entry is to make use of the school library. I know your room is more comfortable and you can tell yourself all you want that you'll do the work at home, but you're more likely to focus in the library not just because it's quite and you're surrounded by material that can help. You see in the library lives a special bre
