I went into Captain Marvel as blind as I could. I never watched the trailers, and had only seen a couple screenshots or gifs, and a poster. I had heard of people absolutely loving it, some thought it was mediocre, and others hated it, so I was open to just about anything. What I watched is by far the worst of the MCU movies. The movie fails at its core, centered around a character that is confusing, unlikable, and what I can only describe as bipolar. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Here is a spoiler review of Captain Marvel. (The only thing you need to know from this movie before Endgame is she gets her powers from the Teseract, and she shows up on Earth)

Why RollPlay Shows Are Terrible Now
Recently, I have dropped watching all of RollPlay shows. I no longer cared what happened regardless of who was GMing, the cast, the setting, or the system. I still watch all of Koibu's roleplay shows that run Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition, so I chucked it up to my preference for that system. However, while watching a recent episode of Office Hours, I came to the revelation why RollPlay shows are nowhere on the level they used to be.

The Walking Dead is Terminal or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Killing Characters
This will contain spoilers both of characters who have died or who are still alive, which in a show full of character death is a spoiler in and of itself.
First off, the death of a character is not about that character but about how that death affects others. Whether it motivates them to action, motivates them towards nihilistic inaction, or changes their world view, a character's death has to mean something.

What Makes Jurassic Park Special (And Where Jurassic World Went Wrong)
What is Jurassic Park? It is a cautionary tale of man playing God
with genetics without the foresight of what they have done. It is as
important a film then as it is now with GMOs in our food that leads to
cancer and the sterility of our species. It is a film about the brutal
force of nature in all forms that man cannot control.
What is Jurassic Park not? A film about dinos fighting dinos.
Jurassic Park is my Star Wars. It is perhaps the movie I have seen the most times. Lost World is perhaps the only book I have reread as many times as I have, and Jurassic Park was the beginning of Michael Crichton becoming my favourite author.
Let's go through the film to see what makes it special.

Part of That Comp (Part of Your World Parody Lyrics)
This particular parody lyrics is dedicated to Defebwar, a Twitch streamer who plays lots of Heroes of the Storm, and particularly Sylvanas Windrunner. Part of That Comp is a parody of Part of Your World from Disney's The Little Mermaid. The song is about a woman who plays Heroes of the Storm, who has everything in the game, but can't get a decent party composition to save her life. Enjoy!
