Her dad is African American and her mom is Caucasian of English and German descent. So she’s half multiracial. There’s been so much debate online of whether she should be referred to as a ‘woman of color’ and I am just so tired of it. Regardless of her mixed ethnicity, she identifies as a Black woman and that’s all that matters to me.
As a member of the celebrity-list, she uses her platform to speak about issues that impact the Black community including representation and violence against Black women. Even though she is of multiracial ethnicity with white ancestry from her mother’s side of English and German heritage, her racial identity and her experience of race in America is that of a Black woman. There is no conflict between her ethnicity and racial identity.

Most exhausting angle in recent pap history: Is she or isn't she dating Anwar? A highly successful female artist and Grammy winner who happens to use her platform to speak out about social justice issues— and yet the bulk of coverage focuses on whether or not she’s a lesbian and whether or not Anwar is her boyfriend. Her tireless work ethic, bold creative choices, and highly successful business ventures (i.e. Service95) get pushed to the side in favor of who she’s kissing. Let’s talk about that.

Natasha Romanoff's age in 'Iron Man 2' is one of those fun little details that's never explicitly stated in the movie, but we can piece it together with some MCU timeline math. The film takes place in 2010, and Natasha's backstory as a former Soviet/Russian spy gives us clues. In 'Black Widow' (set around 2016), we learn she was born in 1984—making her around 26 in 'Iron Man 2'. That tracks with her portrayal as a young but already highly skilled operative. Scarlett Johansson was about 25 during filming, which adds to the realism.
What's fascinating is how her age contrasts with her experience—Natasha's been through the Red Room, defected to S.H.I.E.L.D., and earned Clint Barton's trust by then. Her youth makes her competence even more impressive; she's barely out of her mid-20s but already holding her own against Tony Stark's ego and Hammer Tech's goons. The way she casually infiltrates Stark Industries while posing as Natalie Rushman cracks me up—total spy prodigy energy. Honestly, I love how the MCU lets characters age in real time; by 'Endgame', she’s in her late 30s, carrying the weight of the universe without losing that sharp wit.

I don’t really connect with Katara in the live-action ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ series as I do with the animated version. Her character has been developed with much effort to create depth, mainly regarding her family, but she isn’t as fierce as I would like her to be. In the animated version, she is a very confident person and stands up for herself. I wish the live-action version embodied some of that power and assertiveness.
I really like Katara's determination to learn and her effort in the live-action series. However, I wish she had more of the spunk of her animated counterpart. As it is, Katara does not seem as confident as she was in the animated series. There are moments where Katara seems almost mousy, which is so unlike her character. I really want her to be a nurturer, with all of her strength, and animated with the same amount of passion that she had in the series. I know they are trying to make her work, but they are not quite there yet for me.

There are so many completely normal names in the world, and yet they have the power to create a vortex of fandom thoughts. I can only think of this character as having a comic book debut in 2020. She is just a normal supporting character in a school setting as a friend, and my greatest memory of her is the initial shock of reading her name and then the subsequent “wait, what?” reactions from fans who recognized the name. Her comic book debut created a small, ongoing internet in-joke within certain parts of the DC fan community.

I’m as big of a nerd for casting announcements as the next person. I have been obsessively following all of the casting news for the Kate Kane version of ‘Batwoman’ (as opposed to the Ruby Rose-less, Kate Kane-less version of ‘Batwoman’ that is currently premiering). Bottom line: Ruby Rose auditioned for Kate Kane and played her for the original run of the show. After she left, rather than casting another Kate Kane, the producers did a 180 degree switch and brought in Javicia Leslie to play Ryan Wilder, a brand new lead for the show.
The fan camp does post speculation about potential actors and there are occasional announcements or stories in interviews where individual actors state they auditioned for the role of Kate Kane. More about individual auditions for the role of Kate Kane can be found in the trade, in podcasts where the casting team are interviewed and occasional tweets from actors who have auditioned for the part – these are where the little morsels of information are actually shared.

I'm not entirely positive on this so I will need to re-read 'Messiah' but I believe it to be fifteen years old. This is a piece of trivia that will stick in the fan's head due to how unsettling it is. A god-like figure in Paul and his little sister is just a pre-pubescant child with the knowledge and development of the generations of witches that came before her. It's a classic sci-fi tragedy, the failure of the BG breeding program to obtain a Kwisatz Haderach which they could control. Instead they obtained Alia, a child who was conscious in the womb and became an Abomination. The fact that her age makes that title so much more disturbing is that she didn't have a childhood to lose, she never had one to begin with. So fifteen it is, but a symbol of failed potential, not just a number.

More continuity magic from the MCU. Remembering this little detail from one of the movies becomes a fun little trivia point for the bigger universe. And yeah, the answer is yes. But that’s all. The real import is that these characters exist outside of their respective films, with rich histories and full capabilities that we get to see only glimpses of. This little piece here is a tiny portion of Natasha’s massive untold history, and even this we only get to see a snippet of.

One of the fun little details I thought up for the article is Lara Croft’s height. In the original games she was 5’9″, a very athletic, almost cartoonish, tall and large breasted heroine, made up of many large polygonal triangles that formed her legs in particular. The 2013 reboot of the games started Lara off at around 5’6″, making her movements feel a lot more grounded. The films have her at varying heights. Angelina Jolie’s Lara was closer to the classic Croft height, while Alicia Vikander played her as somewhat petite. While fans of the character have debated over whether Lara should be taller to better fit her ‘indomitable explorer’ type, or shorter and more of an underdog now that she’s been rebooted, I’m just pleased that in both cases her character manages to shine regardless of the decision they’ve made with her physicality, whether that means her leaping up and running off in the distance or crawling through the mud, inches from a deadly enemies’ face.

The Outlander wiki lists Claire Beauchamp, an Englishwoman with a Norman-French influenced surname, as the main subject of the entry, which then follows her through her marriage and time travel to become part of the Randall and Fraser families. There is a list of her immediate family, marriages and children (with main focus on Brianna). The family can also be viewed as a collapsible tree, showing how Claire’s link to 20th century English ancestors is joined with her 18th century Scottish relatives.
Additionally, this page lists out the different relationships between the ancestors of the main characters, as well as noting the difference between blood relations and marital relations. Since Outlander involves so much time travel, it can be confusing to keep track of the ancestors of the different husbands of the main character. This page is something I can bookmark for future reference to get a genealogy fix, and it is so much better than just a list of names. Seeing the chart of how all the characters are related really brings the story to life.
