list
Geeks has assembled the top list of all things comic, entertainment, superheroes, and popular culture.
Most Bingeable Shows
Binge watching is a relatively new term that came to society with the rise of streaming services. Not that the action of binge watching didn’t exist before, but now we have a name for it. So here we go, we are going to talk about the best shows to Binge watch. Now I think my personal criteria for this is going to be; shows with 5 seasons or less. I find binge watching shows longer than that a little intimidating and I tend to lose interest a little quicker. That said we still want a decent amount of episodes so nothing under 8 episodes a season because at that point, why do it? I hate getting super interested in something and not having enough of it. And last but not least we need something that is consistent. I don’t want to invest 100 hours of my life into something that ends up sucking.

Best Series Finales
We have talked about series with the most disappointing endings, and to be honest most series go off the rails long before they crash and burn in the finale. But I don’t think we’ve ever talked about series with great finales. Probably because they are few and far between, that said that is exactly what we are doing today. What series not only ended well but had great series finales? What finales are still memorable? And what finales did their characters and series justice?

Ranking Game of Thrones Characters
Everyone has their favorite Game of Thrones character. Some fans even know their house so let’s go ahead and talk about the best and worst of the core Game of Thrones cast. This ranking list will be taking from all 7 seasons (as we know the show was devastatingly canceled after 7 successful seasons) and will only focus on the main houses; Stark, Targaryen, Lannister and Tyrell. The more supporting characters will be the makeup of a different list. Yes that means Baratheon will not be on this list, he was largely inconsequential and only existed for a single season. Honestly the ensemble cast was really big with a lot of characters being important only over 1 or 2 seasons so those characters are going to be their own separate thing. This list is for the families that were present for nearly the entire show. These are, of course, opinions but I am in fact correct so feel free to argue with a wall. I will be giving detailed explanations but just a friendly reminder that this is not just who I like the best, but who is in fact the best written as a character. This list is in the context of the show as that is the only completed version of the story so that is what we will be going by.

Ranking the Scoobies
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the best television shows of all time. Due partially to the writing and relatability and a lot to the truly incredible ensemble cast that carried the show for 7 seasons. We will be ranking the Scooby gang, I will be excluding Buffy for the purposes of this list because of course she wins. We will also be using every makeup of the Scoobies throughout the course of the show so Oz, Tara, Anya, and Cordelia will get some attention.

How Wicked Defy Broadway's Popularity. AI-Generated.
Twenty-one years ago, Wicked became the highest-grossing Broadway show surpassing the box office records better than The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King. The musical adaptation has broken records, received accolades, and huge cultural popularity impact. Before it was a billion-dollar successful Broadway musical, it was based on a novel written by Gregory Maguire telling the story of the Wicked Witch of the West. With Wicked Part One starring Cynthia Ervio and Ariana Grande premiering in November (six months away). Let's look back on how this "wickedly" story became a Broadway fanatic hit.

Top 5 Lifetime Movies (and Potential Villainesses) That Desperately Need a Sequel
Earlier today, I went online to search for some upcoming movies for Tubi for the month of June, doing so upon realizing that it's late in this current month. The month of June had an impressive list of upcoming thrillers, but one listing I noticed totally caught my eye: Rock the Boat 2. We are getting a sequel to the Tubi Original that came out last year, which is excellent, because it definitely ended with a sequel tease.

Ranking Buffy Big Bads
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fought many demons, vampires and forces of darkness but there was a particular “big bad” for each season. Some were actually bad and a few were just kind of a nuisance, so we are ranking them. Since we have finished discussing Buffy the Vampire Slayer season by season I thought that we would rank all of the Buffy “big bads”. Eventually might rank the Scoobies as well but let’s just do the bad guys for now.

Ranking Franchises
While not every film needs to be a franchise there are some incredible stories that simply require it. Franchises do several things in terms of recognizability, obviously more films generally equals more money but generally speaking it also means more fleshed out content. Now for the purposes of this list we are defining a franchise as any IP with three films or more. We will be ranking them in terms of quality and I will not be taking notes. I will not be including the MCU for reasons of I want to keep this list to franchises that have 1 continuous story, though the MCU has a level of interconnectivity it most certainly does not do that.

Best Directors of All Time
When talking about film we have to talk about the people that make films possible. One of the most important elements of film is the direction. The director is responsible for essentially coordinating every other element in film. They have to take the words on the page and bring them to life for everyone in the production and for the audience. So who are some of the best directors of all time? Well there are plenty but we are going to narrow it down to 10. The criteria being how many movies they directed, quality level of said films, influence of style and recognizability. Other than that I don’t think that this list is going to be in any particular order.
