Okay, okay, I’ll admit that I was disappointed to see that a promised Hunger Games/Mulan video didn’t involve people’s heads getting chopped off. But it’s still clever, so you should watch it. And then speculate on which district each Disney Princess is from and how well they would do in the games.
If you only vaguely remember the song and it’s place in the movie, I’ve embedded the original below just for you.

This scene, from the upcoming second season of ABC’s Once Upon a Time, isn’t quite what you’d think. It features Mulan (played by Jamie Chung) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger) not arguing over who gets the Prince but who gets to save the Prince. Sunday cannot come fast enough.

Fans of ABC’s hit fairy tale series, Once Upon a Time, have been eagerly anticipating Season 2 thanks to a cliffhanger ending to Season 1. We heard about the casting of Mulan and Sleeping Beauty but now we get to see them for the first time in this new promo (Mulan looks particularly epic). Plus a bonus peak at Captain Hook and all your favorite returning characters. Once Upon a Time returns to ABC September 30th!

History: It’s chock full of colorful characters and crazy random happenstances. But more often than not, when a historical character makes it to the big screen it’s in the form of a cookie-cutter biopic. What gives? History is dynamic and exciting! As a history geek, I’d much rather see Napoleon fighting wizards and fairy kings than some boring Oscar bait biopic on the (actually not short!) Emperor. Here are ten examples from TV and film of history geekery done right. Your favorite not make it to the list? There’s a historical character (*coughArthurConanDoylecough*) you really want to show up on Doctor Who? Want to defend Anastasia? Get thee to the comments.

We’ve spotlighted a few of Amy Mebberson’s Pocket Princesses on the site before but we figured it was about time to give them their own post since it’s been brought to our attention the little gals have to go on hiatus for a while. If you’ve never seen them, you’re in for a treat. Hit the jump for some of our favorites!

Final Fantasy X-2 introduced a new wrinkle into the famous RPG series: instead of being handed a selection of characters with set classes to choose a three person fighting team with, players were handed exactly three characters (Rikku, Yuna, and Paine) and could choose which class roles they wanted those characters to play at any moment, simply by changing their outfits. It was also the first FF game to feature an all female main cast.
And what with the fanart trend of giving reinterpreting Disney princesses, and the existing presence of the official Final Fantasy/Disney crossover games Kingdom Hearts, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that xsKiRtZx’s drawings of Disney princesses and other lead female characters as Final Fantasy X-2 classes are a pretty cool combination.

Last month, we did a list of ten female heroes who don’t wear costumes and don’t have super powers… even though most of the people around them (or the people or things they’re fighting) have one or the other. You guys seemed to really like it, which was nice, I mean that’s what we always strive for; but you also had a lot of good ideas to add to the list.
So, naturally, we decided we had to do another one.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.
Susana Polo
In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.
