An unlikely friendship changes the hearts of men, and helps a young boy come into his own.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.

The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.
