The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video essay is a deep dive into two memorable of versions of Ultron, one of Marvel’s most menacing and daunting villains. He’s had many versions over the years, but the two most contemporary versions come from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. And I analyze both version, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. I also make the case for what I feel is the best version of Ultron. Enjoy!

Why It Became Trendy To Hate The Big Bang Theory
The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is a little exploration into why certain TV shows, bands, and movies are subject to so much hatred. Sometimes, things get popular for reasons we don’t understand and they eventually become subject to ridicule, but for all the wrong reasons. I’ve seen it many times before in my life, but I’ve never seen it manifest so strongly with a show like The Big Bang Theory.
This topic is based off something I wrote on this site a few years ago. I thought it would make a better video. Enjoy!

The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. This time, I highlight a single issue from the first volume of Mighty Morphin Power Ranger by Boom Studios. It was, in my opinion, one of the most pivotal issues to date. It gave us the origin story of Grace Sterling, as well as a new perspective on what it means to be a Ranger.
