School Spirits Season 3 Review: Deepening the Mystery

Caillou Pettis — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:23:44 +0000

When School Spirits premiered on Paramount+ on March 9, 2023, it quickly carved out a niche in the supernatural teen drama space with its clever blend of ghostly mystery and emotional coming-of-age storytelling. Created by Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud and adapted from their graphic novel with Maria Nguyen, the series has steadily expanded its ...

FROM Season 4 Teaser Deep Dive: 30 Seconds That Change Everything

Anthony Whyte — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 21:44:52 +0000

The FROM Season 4 Teaser Deep Dive is a weird assignment because the teaser is only 30 seconds long. Still, it manages to feel heavier than some full trailers. That is not because it shows a lot. It is because it shows the right things, then refuses to explain them. So let’s break down what ...

Janelle Jackson and Marvel’s Shift in Black Female Roles

Anthony Whyte — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:12:23 +0000

For a long time, Black women in superhero stories were asked to do a lot with very little. Be strong but silent. Wise but sidelined. Powerful but disposable. Competent only until the plot needed them to step aside. Wonder Man does something refreshingly different. Through Janelle Jackson, played by X Mayo, Marvel continues a quiet ...

Marvel Is Still the Only Studio Consistently Betting on Black Leads

Anthony Whyte — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:23:17 +0000

Every few months, a familiar conversation resurfaces. Is Marvel losing relevance? Has the MCU lost its edge? Are audiences finally tired of the formula? What rarely gets discussed in good faith is this. Marvel remains the only major studio consistently putting Black and other minority-led projects into production, not just development decks or press releases. ...

Wonder Man’s Haitian Roots and Why That Choice Matters

Anthony Whyte — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:43:11 +0000

Marvel Television’s Wonder Man arrives with a deceptively simple premise. An actor wants his big break. Hollywood complicates everything. Superpowers only make it messier. But buried inside that setup is a creative choice that deserves real attention. Simon Williams is not just Black, he is Haitian American. And in a franchise as carefully calibrated as ...

No Thrones, No Dragons, No Politics: Why That Might Be Westeros’ Boldest Move

Anthony Whyte — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 22:48:23 +0000

For a franchise built on power struggles, bloodlines, and who sits on the Iron Throne, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is making a move that feels almost rebellious. It is stepping away from the very things many fans associate with Westeros at its most addictive. There is no grand political chessboard driving the story. ...

Dunk and Egg Are the New Heart of Westeros

Anthony Whyte — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 23:15:00 +0000

There is something quietly radical about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Not the lore. Not the dragons we know are gone. Not even the fact that it is set a century before Game of Thrones. It is radical because it remembers something the franchise once did better than almost anything else on television. It ...
