    AMV tells us "THE BEST FEMALE" Superheroes Of All Time
    With Captain Marvel still lighting up the box office, there's no question studios are looking to put female superheroes front and center. With that in mind, we're looking back at the best of the best - the most powerful, coolest, all around best superheroines of all time.

    Supergirl
    Supergirl may have started out as a spin-off character from Superman, but for many fans, she’s become so much more than that. DC’s Maid of Might represents a certain element of femininity that is often glossed over in fiction – the balance of girlish glee and emotional exploration with confidence and physical power.
    Too often female characters must be one or the other, ultra-feminine or super-powerful, but Supergirl - who possesses all the strength of her cousin Superman while facing all the issues of a young woman - is at her best when writers strike a true balance between both sides of that coin, letting her be a real Supergirl.
    That dynamic plays an important role in the CW’s Supergirl, a show that places a slightly older Kara in the central role and embraces her femininity without shying away from her ability to kick ass.
    Black Widow
    Black Widow has been around as a character since the 1960’s, but it’s only recently that she’s become a particularly prominent heroine in the Marvel Universe, thanks in large part to her role as a founding member of the cinematic Avengers.
    But the fact that her recent success has mostly been due to her onscreen adventures doesn’t discount her role in comic books, either. Though she started out as a villain, it wasn’t long before Black Widow became an Avenger, a career she’s balanced with her black ops work alongside S.H.I.E.L.D. and on her own, even leading the team for a time.
    Black Widow is finally getting her own solo film in the MCU as well, with a director having just come on board.
    She-Hulk
    To some, She-Hulk is the ultimate expression of feminine power. She’s indestructible, super-strong, and without inhibition – all of this with the mind of a high-powered attorney wrapped inside those unparalleled green muscles.
    And while she may seem like a typical spin-off character (obviously riffing on her somewhat more famous cousin Bruce Banner), She-Hulk takes the concept of a gamma-irradiated hero to a totally different level, embracing her alter ego and living life to the fullest.
    In some ways, She-Hulk also broke other boundaries – her John Byrne-penned ongoing series introduced an indestructible, fourth-wall-breaking hero with a sense of humor years before Deadpool grew a similar schtick.
    She-Hulk was Deadpool before there even was a Deadpool.
    She-Hulk is now a core member of the recently relaunched Avengers
    Wasp
    Janet Van Dyne was not only the first female Avenger, and a founder, but also the hero who named the team when they first formed. Though she started out as something of a sidekick to her on-again-off-again (currently off-again) paramour Hank Pym, Janet quickly became a hero in her own right, leading the Avengers several times, and often acting as the team’s moral center.
    When crafting this list, it came down to putting either Wasp or Captain Marvel in this spot. And while Captain Marvel may be more prominent now, her trajectory has been spotty, taking her from being a damsel in distress, to a perpetual victim, to leading the Avengers and her own intergalactic defense team, while Wasp’s arc has been far more consistent. Add to that her historical significance, and it’s easy to see why she’s one of the greatest female heroes ever to grace the printed page.
    And while viewers got a glimpse of Janet Van Dyne in action in Ant-Man, she took on a much larger role in the sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp - in which her MCU daughter Hope Van Dyne took on the mantle of the winsome Wasp.

    Jean Grey
    6 of 12
    Jean Grey was the first X-Woman, and even bore the name of her publishing company as Marvel Girl before transitioning to her Phoenix identity in the 1970’s. But she’s more than just the first female mutant superhero – she’s also emblematic of the entire X-Men franchise, and one of the most complex, well-developed characters in comic books.
    She may have started out in the typical Marvel superheroine model, but later adventures saw Jean develop a level of depth that many ensemble cast members never achieve. Between her ever developing relationship with Scott Summers, her vast and terrifying power levels, her descent into madness as the Dark Phoenix, and her penchant for self-sacrifice and redemption, Jean experienced more in her tenure as a hero than almost anyone.
    Of course, the Phoenix always rises from the ashes, and a newly returned Jean Grey now leads her own team in X-Men: Red.
    Batgirl
    Barbara Gordon is unique among female heroes, and superheroes in general, for having not one but two vastly different and very successful superhero careers.
    Barbara started out as Batgirl, using her wits, her incredible intelligence, and her physical capabilities to earn Batman’s trust as an ally and protégé. However, after years of fighting crime on the streets of Gotham, a violent encounter with the Joker left her paralyzed – but not deterred.
    Though her physical challenges sometimes (not always) kept her off the streets, Barbara turned to her intelligence to make a difference. Taking on the mantle of Oracle, Barbara became the information hub for Batman’s entire network and lead the all-female superhero team the Birds of Prey.
    Now she’s back in action as Batgirl, her injuries having finally been reversed.
    Captain Marvel
    Carol Danvers is just about the most powerful woman in the Marvel Universe, and is arguably the publisher's top female hero.
    With cosmic powers, a background as a fighter pilot, a high profile movie, and that crucial Avengers membership, she's everything great about superheroes wrapped up in one sleek package.
    It's no wonder the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will likely put Carol front and center, as one of the pillars of the most popular superhero brand in the world.
    Storm
    Storm started as the X-Men’s ingénue, a young heroine who was one of the rookie mutants recruited when the original team went missing. Alongside other X-Men mainstays like Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Colossus, Storm rose through the ranks becoming not just a seasoned hero, but a mentor to her fellow mutants, and now serves as the Headmistress of Xavier’s school, and the leader of the X-Men.
    Storm is also the first major female hero of color – a distinction that shouldn’t be overlooked, especially considering how important she’s remained in both X-Men and Marvel lore. Fans saw a new side of Storm when Alexandra Shipp took over the role of a younger version of the character in 2016' X-Men: Apocalypse, a role she's set to reprise in the film's sequel Dark Phoenix.

    Invisible Woman
    Marvel’s first superheroine may not have the highest profile of the characters on this list, but Sue Storm set the pace for modern female heroes – and still occupies a fairly unique place in comic books.
    While its true that early stories didn’t exactly serve Sue particularly well, she developed into the heart and soul of the Fantastic Four, serving as Marvel’s first family’s de facto – and literal – mother. And that may be one of the most crucial aspects of her character.
    While Sue Storm is powerful in her own right – many writers have said she’s got the most raw power of anyone on the FF – she also represents an important aspect of womanhood that many female heroes have sacrificed or had used against them – motherhood.
    That Sue can serve as one of the most respected heroes in the Marvel Universe (and it’s first female hero) while simultaneously raising two children and shepherding the growth of many more through the Future Foundation can’t be understated.
    Plus, it takes a pretty amazing woman to stand up to a blowhard like Reed Richards.
    Wonder Woman
    Diana of Themiscyra represents the best of mankind, and of womanhood. Strong, compassionate, fearless, and independent, as Wonder Woman Diana is a pillar of the Justice League and one of the greatest heroes and warriors in the entire DC Universe.
    And though her real world origins are complex, William Moulton Marston and his collaborators Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne created an equally complex character who would grow to become a feminist icon and the character that almost anyone in the world thinks of when you say “female superhero.

  • #56 Olivia Hack (actress VO Hey Arnold) Disneyland, Walking Dead and DC News
    This week Fonseca talks with Olivia Cathrine Hack American actress and voice actress, best known for providing the voice of Rhonda Wellington Lloyd in Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold!, and for playing Cindy Brady in the 1990s theatrical Brady Bunch films. She has also done voice work for Fillmore!, Bratz as Cloe, Family Guy, Blood+ and Avatar: The Last Airbender as Ty Lee. She appeared in Star Trek Generations, Party of Five and Gilmore Girls. As a child actress, Hack appeared in her first commercial spot when she was eight months old. Entertainment Weekly noted the authenticity of Hack's reprisal of Cindy Brady for the 1990s Brady Bunch films, and the New York Daily News made positive comparisons of Hack's work to that of Susan Olsen's Cindy from the original television series.
    Star Wars Land has blue milk
    Blue milk purchased at the milk stand at Galaxy’s Edge is actually a plant based beverage, something closer to rice milk than anything from a cow. It’s also been sweetened with berry and melon flavors and it’s also much thicker than actual milk, closer in consistency to a milkshake or smoothie.
    AMC has confirmed that it is in “active development” of a new Walking Dead spinoff series, which will be the third show in the franchise, alongside the main The Walking Dead series and Fear The Walking Dead.

    The announcement was made during AMC Networks’ quarterly earnings call with Wall Street analysts. Here’s what AMC COO Ed Carroll revealed:

    “We’re not at a stage where we’ll be announcing its plans to premiere,” Carroll said. “But we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines. We feel very good about the development of that series. We’re not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there’s a healthy appetite for it and we’ve had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space.”

  • #55 Charles Fleischer ( voice of Roger Rabbit ) Valentines Day Show
    Fonseca talks withCharles Fleischer American stand-up comedian, actor, writer and musician, best known for appearing in films such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Polar Express, Rango, and We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story.[1] He also reprised the role of Roger Rabbit in the Roger Rabbit theatrical shorts. After beginning his career on the comedy club circuit, Charles Fleischer's first big break in comedy television came when he made an appearance on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
    Also the crew talk about everything Valentines Day. Cards, flowers, chocolate and sex! Then we look at the: Top Ten Comic Book Love couples!
    1. Clark Kent and Lois Lane
    For many, the relationship between Lois and Clark is the comic book romance. They are perhaps the longest-lasting comic book couple, with Lois introduced alongside Superman in Action Comics #1. Though certain stories and timelines find Superman involved with Wonder Woman, history will always find Lois and Clark back in each other’s arms.
    2. Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon
    The origins of the Nightwing and Batgirl romance were first met with a lukewarm reception in the DC Comics universe, but sparks really began to fly in the late ’90s in Batman: The Animated Series and later in various Batfamily stories. Their eternal “will they or won’t they” flirtation peaked in Infinite Crisis with what has become one of the most memorable proposals in comic history.
    3. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy
    Peter Parker and Mary Jane are the more famous couple, but no one — save for Uncle Ben — has had more of a profound influence on the webslinger than Peter’s first love, Gwen Stacy. Gwen was famously thrown off a bridge by the Green Goblin and Spider-Man was unable to save her. Her death sent waves through the whole Marvel universe, and continues to impact characters today.
    4. The Joker and Harley Quinn
    No couple in comic book history is as dysfunctional and psychotic as Harley Quinn and the Joker. Created by Paul Dini for Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn was introduced as the Joker’s sidekick and has skyrocketed to fame with fans since then. The fiery, often hateful union between them has captivated readers for years.
    5. Scott Summers and Jean Grey
    The relationship between Scott Summers and Jean Grey is one of the mainstays of the X-Men storyline, dating back to the original run of The X-Men in 1963. Their love is a bright spot in the history of the mutants; even through marriage, divorce, death, resurrection, time travel and more, Scott and Jean always care deeply for one another.
    6. Batman and Catwoman
    Throughout their history, Batman and Catwoman have always danced around a possible union. Though their goals aren’t always in line with each other’s, there is no denying the chemistry they share. Their complicated relationship has become a staple of the Batman universe, reappearing in nearly every timeline.
    7. Hawkman and Hawkgirl
    Hawkman and Hawkgirl are the ultimate symbol of undying love. After the couple is cursed in Ancient Egypt with an alien dagger, they are destined to find and fall in love with each other in every reincarnation of their souls.
    8. Reed Richards and Sue Storm
    One of Marvel’s most famous couples, Reed Richards and Sue Storm represent the Silver Age of comic book romance: wholesome and devoted. Though their relationship has had its fair share of peaks and valleys, their trust and love for each other has never been broken — even when on opposite ideological sides in Marvel’s Civil War.
    9. Northstar and Kyle Jinadu
    Back in 1992, Marvel announced its first major gay character, Northstar. Twenty years later, Marvel made headlines by announcing his marriage to longtime partner Kyle Jinadu. In many ways, their union represents both the plight of the X-Men and the struggle many people face in the real world of not being accepted.
    10. Green Arrow and Black Canary
    Green Arrow and Black Canary are opposites and perfect foils: Black Canary’s calm determination balances Green Arrow’s fiery temper. Though they certainly have had their problems, they always end up back together. They are a reminder that the right person can inspire us to be a better versions of ourselves.

  • #54 MICHAEL BELL actor and voice actor, Avengers Star Wars Walking Dead
    On the show we talk to Michael Bell American actor, voice actor, voice director and animal-rights activist[1] who is most active in voice over roles, known for his youthful voice. He has acted in video games and animated series, including The Transformers, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Houndcats, Rugrats, The Smurfs, and Snorks and appeared on-screen in film and television, including the TV programs Dallas and Star Trek.

    Marvel Giving Away Free Black Panther Comics to Celebrate Black History Month

    Last week, Disney returned Marvel Studios’ Black Panther to more than 250 AMC theaters for free screenings in celebration of Black History Month. The company also made a $1.5 million donation the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

    “Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.

    “The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it. We’re proud to provide thousands of free screenings of Black Panther in hopes it will continue to inspire audiences, and to support UNCF with a $1.5 million grant to make the dream of higher education a reality for more students.”

    The Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster was the first Marvel Studios film to be helmed by a black director and feature a predominantly black cast. Black Panther went on to be crowned the highest-grossing domestic performer of 2018 with $700 million earned domestically; worldwide, the groundbreaking film won $1.3 billion to become the ninth highest-grossing film of all time.2
    WHY DIDN’T CHEWY GET A MEDAL?
    Well, that ends today. It appears this was settled long ago, but George Lucas himself. Back in 1977, Lucas recorded some character spots, and one of them explained the issue with Chewie being denied a medal for his service. You can check out what Lucas had to say about it below.

    “Chewbacca wasn’t given a medal because medals don’t really mean much to Wookiees. They don’t really put too much credence in them. They have different kinds of ceremonies. The Wookiee Chewbacca was in fact given a great prize and honor during a ceremony with his own people. The whole contingent from the Rebel Alliance went to Chewbacca’s people and participated in a very large celebration. It was an honor for the entire Wookiee race.”

    Well their you go!

    Its cast was awarded the highest honor at the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o and others accepted the prize for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

    Black Panther also made history as the first superhero film to be nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award. Coogler is now developing a sequel, expected to announce its release date sometime after Avengers: Endgame opens April 26.
