Eyes of Wakanda Season 1 Review – A realm of possibilities, but little time to develop them
Season 1 Episode Guide Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 -| Review Score – 3.5/5 In recent years, Marvel have given birth to a series of animated projects, such as What If…? and X-Men '97, creating a new pool of possibilities and stories. The latest one of this batch is Eyes of Wakanda, created by Todd Harris, a storyboard artist for the company. And it feels exactly like that: a breath of fresh air filled with possibilities. The show follows special warriors responsible for secret missions rescuing Wakandan artifacts from outside their nation. While the first episode explains this concept, the rest center almost exclusively on the hunt for these objects. What makes the episodes even more interesting is that all of them happen in different periods. Eyes of Wakanda's first advantage is that it can be part of the MCU, but also a standalone project. The necessity of every Marvel movie having to be connected and address continuity has been a constant critique of fans for a few years now. So, it's great getting to watch something without worrying about how it relates to past events or how it'll change the future of the universe. We can see how this change is important to fans because Fantastic Four: First Steps is being praised for the same reason. Let's hope this indicates that Marvel is understanding what viewers want to see. As each Eyes of Wakanda episode focuses on a different person and artifact, the characters aren't all that interesting. But that isn't what the show is about. It's much more about what being a War Dog means and the sacrifices they make for their country, and it excels at that. Even though you hardly care about B'kai, it's hard not to relate to his struggle at the end of episode 2. After being away from Wakanda for so long, the place he longed to return to, he feels like an immigrant. As a War Dog, he can't see any place as his home anymore. Nonetheless, there's one character who steals the scene with her charisma and skills. She's Jorani, the Iron Fist. Episode 3 has an incredible introduction to the character's myth, and Jorani easily proves she's worthy of the mantle. The fight scenes in episode 3 surpass all expectations. They're fluid, intense, smart, and, most of all, fun. It features a fight in an artifact room, which will constantly keep you with the silliest smile on your face. The characters use all kinds of weapons to get an upper hand, and I just wish it could have gone on for longer. The last episode is the only one that's significantly weaker, as it lacks stakes and feels somewhat rushed. Still, it's nice how it connects the sacrifices the War Dogs make to an important character growth instead of something bad or sad as usual. But the series's biggest problem is its length. It's easy to imagine how it could have had way more episodes featuring recurring characters and more artifacts. However, when you're getting more excited about the plot, it ends abruptly. It does tie its story nicely, but it lacks the impact that only a longer length could give it. You don't have enough time to get attached to the characters or the beautiful visuals of Wakanda. Characters, such as B'kai, could easily be in two or more episode arcs, which would also make them deeper and more likable. Eyes of Wakanda proves in only 4 episodes that it has the potential to be much more and grow into something even better. But don't let that take you away from the great story it tells in that short time.

Legendary Big Brother housemate is unrecognisable in gym snaps 20 years on from her controversial steamy on-air 'romp' - but can you guess who it is?
She is remembered as one of the most iconic and controversial Big Brother housemates in the history of the show, stepping into the spy house 20 years ago. During her time on the programme, she was involved in one of the series' biggest scandals at the time and hit with a pregnancy scare as millions tuned in. The housemate, who was just 25 at the time and working as a nurse, had a raunchy romp with another contestant in the hot tub. However, after her stint in Big Brother, she left the UK and moved back to Nigeria where she snubbed her newfound reality career. Now 44, these days she works as a professional wellness and lifestyle coach and speaker, even hosting her very own podcast. In a social media post marking two decades on from her brief encounter with fame, the former housemate looked sensational as she hit the gym, but have you guessed who it is? During her time on the programme, she was involved in one of the series' biggest controversies at the time and hit with a pregnancy scare as millions tuned in That's right, it's Makosi Musambasi from the sixth series of Big Brother! Reflecting on her journey since she was evicted from the famous house, Makosi opened up on 'messy' and 'magical' moments since. Sharing a selection of videos from the gym, she donned a blue matching workout set as she worked up a sweat. Makosi penned: 'The past is not a prison—it's a classroom. 'Two decades ago, I stepped onto a stage that changed my life. Some moments were messy. Some magical. But every single one? A note in my transformation. 'I don't erase my past. I study it. I lift from it. I coach through it. 'Because mistakes don't define you—meaning does. 'Change your memories by changing what they mean. Makosi shared a candid post to fans as she showed off her transformation 'And today? Every drop of sweat, every rep, every coaching session is powered by a woman who took notes, did the work, and turned the script into a masterpiece.' Makosi was flooded with supportive comments by her loyal fans, with one writing: 'You're forever iconic.' A second replied: 'You're absolutely smashing it gorgeous girl.' 'Built not bought,' remarked a third fan. During Makosi's time in the Big Brother house she caused a stir when she romped with series winner Anthony Hutton and later demanded a pregnancy test. The then-housemate insisted she was almost sure she was pregnant, however it turned out not to be the case. After leaving the house, Makosi claimed she'd had sex with Anthony but he insisted this was not true. Makosi came in third place in the sixth series of Big Brother but she encountered visa difficulties after she left the house as she was only allowed to live in the UK as long as she was working for the NHS. She returned to England in 2010 to appear on Ultimate Big Brother before the show moved to Channel 5, being evicted by the public on day 11. In 2012 she was reportedly deported to Nigeria and banned from Britain after attempting to enter the country using a relative's passport. Her loyal fans flooded her with supportive messages However, Makosi insists she has happy memories of her time on the show, telling new! magazine last year: '(I remember Big Brother) with fond memories and nostalgia. 'The Makosi who went on Big Brother was a free bird. I look at her today and I'm proud she did that for herself. I get teary when I think about it.' She added: 'It just makes me chuckle - it makes me laugh... I look at that 25-year-old Makosi and I think it was ingenious. 'I'd probably have a different game plan today, but that's what worked... My game plan took me right to the end.'

Inside Mel B's 'spiritual' second wedding to Rory McPhee in Morocco with non-traditional dress - but which Spice Girl was in attendance?
Mel B shunned tradition as she tied the knot with husband Rory McPhee in 'spiritual' second wedding in Morocco over the weekend. The couple previously walked down the aisle in London's St Paul's Cathedral last month, followed by an evening reception at the Shangri-La hotel at The Shard. But while their first celebration was the picture of tradition with the Spice Girl donning a pearl-adorned white gown and arriving in a classic Bentley, this time around, the multi-day occasion was a much more glamorous affair that paid homage to Mel's individual style. Meanwhile, the guest list saw one person that couldn't make the London do in attendance - non other than Mel's fellow Spice Girl Melanie C, with the star being the only Spice Girl to make it. The second wedding celebration saw one notable difference in the form of Mel's dress, with the singer ditching her conventional white gown for a sparkly red strapless number with a thigh-high split. As with her Josephine Scott-designed gown, Mel was guided in her choice of outfit by wedding dress guru Caroline Black from London-based Evelie Bridal, who helped her choose the perfect dress to celebrate her and Rory's day. Just as Josephine Scott's dress proudly reflected her British roots, Mel and Caroline chose Justin Alexander, a US-based designer, to reflect her life in America where she is currently a judge on America's Got Talent. Caroline said of the dress: 'For Mel's Morocco wedding dress, we focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle. Mel loved the idea of a red dress—something bold, with lots and lots of shimmer—but it also had to feel light and easy to move in. 'We drew inspiration from a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, then went back and forth brainstorming with Justin Alexander and his design team. After several conversations and sketches, the first design took shape. Mel gave us clear feedback on what she liked and what she didn't, and the final result was beautiful. 'Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted—it was a joy working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life.' The silhouette was entirely hand-beaded with rich red crystals and bugle beads, creating a mesmerizing floating effect across the illusion bodice and skirt, with the whole thing taking over 850 hours to complete by a team of six artisans. Mel completed her look with a Moroccan-inspired cathedral veil, custom-draped in mocha tulle and accented with red crystals to mirror the gown's embellishments. Meanwhile Rory, who wore traditional McPhee tartan and kilt at the London ceremony, flew the flag for UK designers with a twist on the traditional black tie, wearing an outfit by Alexander McQueen. Elsewhere, while her London nuptials was a one-day event which ended with a surprisingly low-key after party, her latest wedding was a three-day extravaganza held at the Selman Marrakech hotel. Only Emma attended the big day at St Paul's Cathedral last month- where she looked incredible in a baby pink mini dress and hat Daily Mail understands that the event, which was held from August 1-3 saw the couple and their guests enjoy the outdoor spiritual ceremony as well as dinner and a wedding brunch. The Moroccan celebrations were said to have had a vibrant, fiery them to reflect Scary Spice's style. Mel's sister Danielle Brown shared a glimpse of the table settings on her Instagram, with the label adorned with Morrocan lanterns, laser cut paper place settings and ornate crockery and cutlery. Elsewhere, while she sent her apologies the first time around, Mel C ensured she flew out to Morocco to support her pal for her big day. While she didn't post any snaps on her own social media, she didn't comment on Mel B's Instagram post, writing: 'What a weekend! So happy we got to share it with you [three heart emojis].' At the London ceremony, Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to make an appearance, with Mel C and Victoria Beckham quick to offer up their apologies and paying tribute to Mel on social media. Meanwhile, Geri Halliwell-Horner has remained tight-lipped on the matter amid reports differences between the pair. It was thought the Spice Girls could be set for a reunion at the Moroccan celebrations, with Geri given the chance to extend an olive branch to Mel if she attended the North African ceremony, however it wasn't meant to be. Morocco hold significance for the girl band after they jetted there for a mini reunion a decade ago to celebrate David Beckham 's 40th birthday. However ironically Mel B was the only member not in attendance as instead, Eva Longoria filled in for Scary - joking 'I'm the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice'.
