Comic book stories told on TV shows and movies tend to follow a somewhat similar formula. Lately I’ve been binge watching old superhero shows (Daredevil, Punisher, and Luke Cage most recently) and there’s been a few tropes that have jumped out to me.

TV shows always seem to want the main protagonist to be involved in some kind of romantic relationship, which makes sense, because that’s something that most people can relate … Continue reading Relationship Goals

I could go and list all of his accomplishments, and talk about what he’s meant to the music industry, but that wouldn’t fully capture his full impact. Tupac was bigger than music.
