Is Sierra Burgess truly a Loser?

Blog Post 3

Netflix’s new film, Sierra Burgess is a Loser, was one of this fall’s most highly-anticipated films. In it, an unpopular girl named Sierra is contacted by an attractive boy named Jamey. The two converse and, of course, develop feelings for each other. The catch is that Jamey thinks Sierra is actually a girl named Veronica, who is a popular cheerleader at Sierra’s school. This is where things start to take a turn for the worst. As a result of catfishing (i.e. pretending to be someone you’re not online), awkward kisses happen, feelings are definitely hurt, and friendships are almost lost. However, Sierra is completely forgiven for everything pretty much for just writing a song that expresses how she “feels like a sunflower when you (Jamey) wanted a rose”. This ending has caused many people to oppose the film, even calling out one of the scenes as a form of sexual assault. Certainly, this is not the reaction Netflix was aiming for. One thing this film has certainly done is shown everyone that they should be true to themselves rather than fake everything for love.

If you’re a fan of the various characters throughout the Marvel universe, then the ending of Marvel’s most recent film, Infinity War, was a crushing one to say the least (Warning: spoilers ahead). First the first time, the Avengers failed to save day, which resulted in half of the world’s population being turned into dust at the snap of the villain, Thanos’, finger. As a result, fans have been left reeling and awaiting the second part of the film. Towards the end of the film, a new hero was introduced in light of the surrounding chaos: Captain Marvel. This new female hero appears to be the key to stopping Thanos and getting back all of the people that were lost during the war. She will be getting her own film, so it will be interesting to see how Marvel introduces this new character into its universe.

K-pop has always been looked on in admiration. Various K-pop groups put so much time, effort, and energy into jaw-dropping performances that are electric with energy. One particular group, however, has caught the attention of the entire world: BTS. The group debuted on June 12, 2013 and has had great success since. They’ve been called into the spotlight even more so than usual for speaking to and for the youth at the United Nations meeting. During this, the group’s leader, RM (Rap Monster), told the youth to “love and speak themselves”. BTS has always been passionate in spreading messages through their music in order to cultivate a culture of love. With this level of success, great things are in store for BTS and the K-pop industry as a whole.
