Although the Thor franchise was one of the MCU’s earliest to come on the scene in Phase 1, the people of Asgard have remained a staple of Marvel’s story through the course of Phase 4. 2022’s summer blockbuster for Marvel Studios will be Chris Hemsworth’s Thor: Love and Thunder, and Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is approaching its highly-anticipated debut on Disney+ very shortly.

What Happens If You Swallow Too Much Toothpaste? Shutterstock By Monica Beyer/Sept. 20, 2019 12:55 pm EST Toothpaste is (hopefully) part of your daily routine, but as your tube of toothpaste will tell you, it’s not actually meant to be swallowed. It does usually taste good, though, and spitting out something you put in your mouth on purpose is actually kind of weird when you think about it. You’ll often swallow a tiny amount while brushing your teeth anyway (even if you try not to)....

My 252 pound life In 2013, I was an obese (252 pounds at six feet tall), middle-aged couch potato. Not only did I have a closet full of clothes that I was too fat to fit in, but I was sick and tired of getting winded walking up a single flight of stairs, or feeling like I was going to pass out running to catch a bus. And when I’d see pictures of myself, I’d know how much I had let myself go....

What Is Cystic Acne And What Causes It? Shutterstock By Phoebe McRae/April 17, 2020 2:08 pm EST For some, there’s nothing worse than getting a pimple smack bang in the middle of your face. But for cystic acne sufferers, that’s the kind of skin problem they could only dream about. And we can understand why. Often found in clusters, “cystic acne creates the most frustrating type of inflammatory blemishes because they last the longest and can cause long-term scarring,” celebrity aesthetician and skin expert Renée Rouleau told Shape....

Why You Might Not Want To End Your Text Messages With A Period Shutterstock By Maria Scinto/May 12, 2020 9:24 pm EST What kind of texter are you? Did you come of age in the golden age of textspeak, and are thus only able to compose messages consisting entirely of abbreviations, along the lines of “C U l8r?” Or do your texts read more like the Gettysburg Address: “Four score and seven minutes ago some unknown miscreant brought forth in the break room a new mess, conceived in the microwave, and dedicated to the proposition that it should not be cleaned up by the one who created it....

Spider-Man: No Way Home has seen unprecedented success and broken many records in the less than two months it has been out in cinemas. The movie is full of action, drama, and fun appearances from a number of Marvel characters. Some were confirmed in trailers and other promotional material, some were basically open secrets, and some came as pretty big surprises to many viewers. One of the biggest surprises of all happens early in the film, when Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock from the Marvel Netflix series Daredevil pops up for a short scene as Peter Parker’s lawyer....

Ahh, headcanon: The internet’s favorite way of mentally supplementing or altering elements of their favorite franchises. For example: A lot of Star Wars fans love imagining that General Hux would be a cat person. And apparently, the concept of headcanon isn’t lost on the producers and filmmakers behind the things which fans hold so dear. James Gunn could probably write volumes on background details that he’s dreamed up for his Guardians of the Galaxy films for Marvel Studios....

Sometimes, a film’s hype can skyrocket based solely on imagery. Before there was any footage for Batman v Superman , a simple logo that combined the two titular characters’ emblems made the superhero clash a must-see. The same goes for Marvel flicks, as the first concept art for Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther sold fans that the eventual T’Challa-led movie would be a faithful adaptation. ADVERTISEMENT In the age of the internet, any casting can be brought to life with a stroke of the digital brush....

The MCU is finally back in the theaters after over two years since Spider-Man: Far From Home hit theaters. Black Widow was initially set to release on May 1, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was ultimately delayed over 14 months. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, and David Harbour, Black Widow is just the second female-led MCU solo film.
