The Best Underrated Disney Channel Movies

When I was little me, my brother and our cousins always watched Disney Channel when we were at our grandparents house. Of course, we loved the popular movies like High School Musical and Camp Rock, but in this post I tried to make a list of my favorite underrated or not as popular Disney Channel original movies.

Lemonade Mouth (2011)

Lemonade Mouth is not that underrated, but I feel like it belongs to this list, because I absolutely loved it. It came out in 2011 and the story is basically about how five teenagers became a band and what struggles they had to overcome so they can keep playing music. The movie’s soundtrack is one of the best Disney ever released, I still remember every song, word by word.

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006)

This movie came out in 2006 and it’s about Wendy who is an American teenager, claimed to be the reincarnation of a powerful female warrior. She is also the only person who can prevent a spirit of an ancient and evil Chinese dragon named Yan-Lo from destroying the world. I remember that after we watched this movie me and my little cousin went out to the backyard and pretended to be fierce warriors while we played swordfight with sticks and it’s still one of my favorite memory.

Halloweentown (1998)

On her 13th birthday, Marnie learns she's a witch, discovers a secret portal, and is transported to Halloweentown - a magical place where ghosts and ghouls, witches and werewolves live apart from the human world. But she soon finds herself battling wicked warlocks, evil curses, and endless surprises. This movie came out in 1998, but I still love it so much, that I watch it on every Halloween. I actually showed this movie to my little sisters this year and they absolutely adored it.

Zenon: Girl of the 21th Century (1999)

The year is 2049 and Zenon Kar is a 13-year-old girl who lives with her family on an Earth-orbiting space station. After getting into trouble with the space station's commander, Edward Plank, Zenon's parents punish her by sending her to Earth to live with her Aunt Judy. She gets into a lot of trouble on Earth, but she always solves her problems and saves the day. I don’t really know why I loved this movie so much, but for sure this was my favorite of them all. Zenon was just so cool for my 8 years old self, I couldn’t not love the movie.

Marvel theories I find awesome

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been soaring high in the past 10 years. I think even those who hate superhero movies have heard about Marvel. The first time I saw an MCU movie was when my friends dragged me to the cinema to watch Captain America: Civil War. Since then I'm a huge fan and I can be spotted in every premiere.

In this post, I will talk about my favorite conspiracy theories about the upcoming movies.

Just a quick warning: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS.

Spider-Man vs. Venom

The new trailer for Spider-Man: No way home just came out a month ago. Although there was no sign of Venom in the trailer, the cast list shows Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock aka Venom. I think, among the many villains that will appear – which I will also talk about in a second – Venom will try to fight Spider-Man. Another theory I really like is that Venom won’t be a bad guy and he will help Spider-Man fix the Multiverse.

Doctor Strange is trying to save the Multiverse

If you see Wandavision or Loki you probably heard about the Multiverse. ( If you didn’t, here’s a wikipedia link that explains it.) We already know that the Multiverse is about to go insane. I think Doctor Strange knew about that and casted the spell in No Way Home so he can begin to contain all and any multiversal threats before it gets out of hand.

Spider-Man 1, 2 and 3

In the No Way Home trailer we can see that because of Strange’s spell, the Multiverse broke and it brought a lot of villains to their world. One of this villain is Doctor Octopus (who appeared in the 2004 Spider-Man 2 movie). What if, when he says ’hello Peter’ he actually talks to Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man? Which means that all three of them could be in this movie.

Evil Scarlet Witch

This last one is my favorite theory of all. At the end of WandaVision, Wanda became Scarlet Witch, therefore she is one of the most powerful individual in the universe. There’s a theory that says, that in the next Doctor Strange movie (Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness) Wanda will be the main villain. Honesty, I think it would be awesome, but I also hope she won’t become evil, she's one of the best characters in my opinion.

Which Harry Potter characters would be my friends based on quizes i took

We all thought about if our favourite characters would like us, if they were real. A lot of us probably imagined what we would do with them and what kind of adventures we would have. Thanks to the internet now we have tests and quizes about who we are compatible with. For this post, I took 5 quizes to see which Harry Potter character would be my best friend. Every quiz will be linked if you want to check it out too.

1. In this first test I got Ginny Weasley. Ginny is Ron youngest sibling and Harry’s girlfriend/ future wife. I always liked Ginny, at lest the book version of her. The movies pictured her really boring and plain. But in the books she is a total badass and she’s really cool.

2. In the second quiz I got Hermione Granger. I think Hermione is someone I can really relate too. She’s a smarty-pants and little bit of a know-it-all. But she would do everything for the people she loves and she stands up for the truth even if it’s hard to do.

3. (Young) Remus Lupin is the third one. Remus had a really hard childhood, considering he’s a werewolf. But he was always sweet and kind to everyone, but also really fun to be around, so I think he and I would be really great friends.

4. In the next quiz I got Andromeda Tonks (née Black). Andromeda is Sirius Black’s cousin. She was disowned from her family, because she fell in love with a muggleborn (= a wizard coming from non-magical backround). I think Andromeda and I would be friends because we both have strong beliefs and we stand for these beliefs.

5. The last one is honestly the biggest suprise. I was shocked to get this result… It’s Voldemort. I honestly don’t know how and why I got him, but respectfully, I would like to decline this friendship offer.

4 +1 things that sucks in ‘Twilight’

I’m pretty sure everyone heard of the Twilight- series, either saw the movies and/or read the books. The first 4 books were released between 2005 to 2008. Twilight was one of the biggest hits for years, especially after the movies came out.  According to Wikipedia in November 2011, the series had sold over 120 million copies worldwide with translations into at least 38 different languages around the world. But despite the popularity, there are big issues with the series.

In this post I’ll try to show the weirdest and worst things that happened in the Twilight universe.

1.   The age difference When Bella and Edward first met, Bella was 17 and Edward was 104. That is an 87 year age gap. I know that in fiction it is usually normal, but I find it very hard to understand how a 104 years old could fall in love with a 17 years old girl. No matter how romantic some think Edward is, this age difference is just extremely weird.

2.  The stalking In the first movie there’s a scene where Edward breaks into Bella’s room and watches her sleep. A lot of fans thinks that it’s the sweetest thing, says he just watched over her to make sure she’s safe. But if you think about it, if somenone watched you while you sleep, you probably punch them and call the police, but definitely won’t think it’s cute.

3. Everyone loves Bella Let’s be honest, Bella Swan is the most basic and boring main character ever existed. She hates going out, never does anything intresting, dresses in plain clothes and she’s super awkward and quite. But dispite all of this, the moment she stepped in the hallway of Forks High School two guys already started to flirt with her and the minute Edward met her he become obsessed with her. It just doesn’t makes sense.

4. Sparkling vampires

In most books and movies vampires simply burst into flames when the sun hits their skin. But in Twilight, they sparkle. Vampires should be threatening and entrancing, but Meyer made her vampires riddiculous. The entire fandom tries to ignore it, but honestly it’s just a big joke.

 +1. Racist slurs

Stephenie Meyer wrote her books based on real people. The werewolves original is actually true. It’s based on the Quileute tribe and their legends in La Push, Washington. Meyer used the words „dogs” and „stench” when the Cullens talk about the wolfpack. These words were used a long time ago to describe native people in a hurtful way.

 All in all, Twilight has its problems, but it was popular for a reason. People like fairytales, like to think that someone will come and save them and that is what it gave us. It gave hope, love and a community where people love the same thing:  Taylor Lautner without a shirt.
