All good things have to end at some point. Black Widow reveals the reasons why the MCU has potentially overstayed its welcome.
“These are the words that rang out in the first full trailer for Black Widow, released all the way back in March 2020.

It’s a rollicking action-adventure, full of great set pieces and emotional moments, but watching it, I couldn’t help but feel like we’ve been here before, and not just because it’s set just after Civil War and before Infinity War.”
Buff ladies, shapeshifters, and more! The world is in love with the first trailer for Disney’s latest animated feature Encanto.
“The internet is in love with Disney’s Encanto for many reasons after the first trailer dropped yesterday. One of the most fun, though, is the love for the buff lady featured in the trailer.

Wait, how did this happen? It’s just as hard to find older consoles as it is the next-gen versions.
“Supply issues and Covid-19 complications have made the recent console generation transition a rocky one, with ongoing shortages making it nearly impossible to reliably procure a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S. But current-gen consoles aren’t the only ones playing hard-to-get. Outside of overpriced refurbished units or marked-up used consoles, scoring a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One is just as difficult right now.”
