*sighs in long-suffering Marvel fan* Hello, fellow kids. We need to talk about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I have Thoughts, and I'm afraid most of them aren't positive. I didn't want to write this post. (*voice from the peanut gallery* "No one said you HAD to write it!") But seriously. I didn't want... Continue Reading →
