Jane the Virgin's showrunner breaks down the biggest twists in the season 2 finale
HERE BE SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY:
Stuff that happened in the season 2 finale:
* Michael is shot by Susanna, because it turns out that Susanna was Rose all this time. my otp was a fraud :*(
* Petra is paralyzed by her evil twin sister Anezka, who decides to impersonate her and
* Xo is fucking pregnant with Esteban's kid.
Stuff that didn't happen in the season 2 finale:
* Sexytime for Jane.
Showrunner Jennie Urman discussed the following:
* Doesn't confirm that Michael is dead, saying that people were right to worry about Michael but that "we don't know what happened to Michael, we don't know if he's living or if he's dead, that's part of the tension of the finale..." trololololol
* Says they knew from the beginning that Petra would end up "Petrafied" and that the show took its time dropping hints that there would be a twin.
* On Xo's pregnancy: "The question will be, is Xo going to have this baby? Xo doesn't want a baby, so there's that."(oh god i hope they let Xo have an abortion.)
* Confirms that there never was a real Susanna: "We talked and talked in the writers’ room and we settled on that she had fabricated this character and invented all her references, and would be inserting herself right at the beginning... we were also trying to build a way for Rose to win Luisa back since she’s so upset that she killed her father... the way to win her back was to fall in love with her as a different person, then she would realize they were meant to be all along."
* Also confirms that the "Rose" that died in episode 12 was a double.
* The loss of Jane's virginity is imminent, but Urman says she doesn't want it to be a season premiere or a season finale thing because it would put too much pressure on her virginity as "this sacred thing."

"Black Panther" sells more than a quarter-million copies in its first month
-The first issue of the new comic book run by Ta-Nahisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze sold over 250,000 copies in April, easily topping the charts.
-Second place was another issue #1 and another Marvel/Disney nonwhite hero, Poe Dameron, at 175,000.
-The title accomplished this impressive feat without common gimmicks like lootcrate deals.
-T'Challa, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary this year, is now the first black Marvel solo superhero title to top the monthly sales chart (previous Marvel recordholder was Miles Morales Spider-Man, at #3; previous recordholder in general was Spawn back in the 1990's, who was the first and only black hero to ever hit #1... until now).
-Besides being the best-selling comic in its debut month, "Black Panther" is also the best-selling comic of 2016 to date.
-Interest in the title among first-time comic readers remains extremely high, according to retailers.

Don't forget that Coates has said he is more focused on gender and sexuality issues over racial ones in this comic!

The Kings of Angry Punk Music Release Surprise New Single Today
Post-hardcore/Punk band Brand New have released a new song after 6.5 years away from the scene. In case you didnt know, this band has a cult-like following of punk fans around the world despite being very removed from the scene most of the time.
A new full length album— rumored to perhaps be their last — is expected soon too. (Many fans suspect they'll pull a Beyonce and just drop it).
They're touring this summer but today they released the song and fans have gone crazy. It's a throwback punk tune that'll get you moving. Some have compared it to Blink 182, while most say it's a throwback to Brand New's first ever album. Listen to it here.

Kesha addresses Dr. Luke's ban on her at Billboard Awards
"I was very excited to perform a tribute to Bob Dylan by singing a cover of "it aint me babe" at the Billboard awards this year. I'm very sad and sorry to say I won't be allowed to do this. I just wanted to make very clear that this performance was about me honoring one of my favorite songwriters of all time and has never had anything at all to do with Dr. Luke. I was never going to use a picture of him, speak of him or allude to my legal situation in any way. I simply wanted to sing a song I love to honor an artist I have always looked up to. Thank u all for the continued support."

+ On Rocky:With making Creed, I wasn’t thinking I was gonna make a "black Rocky" movie, it was more that I wanted to make a movie about what me and my dad were going through, and my dad’s favorite character was Rocky, and it was kind of an allegory for us. And Apollo Creed was always there, and black people loved Apollo Creed. He was like a god to us, so it was another interesting way to bring that character back.
+ On directing a Hamilton movie:I know Lin Miranda—I got a chance to meet him a few years back, and we reconnected since, and after I went to see it somebody asked if I would be interested in making it, and I said that everybody is interested in making that. Talking with Lin, whenever he decides to make it, it’s going to be so far down the road. It needs to live on stage, travel the country, and travel the world before they make it a movie.
+ On Black Panther:It’s a specific challenge. What Marvel’s doing, and what you see a lot of studios doing now that Marvel has done it so successfully, is making content that exists in a particular universe, where the characters tie in and crossover, and I think that’s a great creative challenge to me—to make this movie as personal as possible. It’s going to be my most personal movie to date, which is crazy to say, but it’s completely the case. I’m obsessed with this character and this story right now, and I think it’s going to be very unique and still fit into the overall narrative that they’re establishing. I grew up as a comic book fan, and the same things used to happen in the comic books. You’d have Wolverine’s books, and they’d be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books, but they’d still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book. It’s new to movies, but it’s not new to storytelling.

Youtuber Kat Blaque on Azealia Banks and problematic faves
- On how everyone can be problematic: "Regardless of how well we'd all like to see ourselves, we all have the capacity to be problematic and most of us are." (Including me)
- She talks about how problematic is often overused and when do people stop being problematic and are just straight up trash.
- Brings up Azealia Banks and her now infamous Twitter rant where she used racial slurs against Zayn Malik and attacked Skai Jackson, who is fourteen years old.
- Talks about her conclusion that media being problematic is to be expected and how as people become more and more conscious of ways in which oppression materializes, she thinks it's good to be critical about the media we consume.
- Breaks down why she won't support Azealia Banks anymore and how she thinks each of us has to define what our limit is when it comes to harmful biases and when you think you should withdraw your support from something.
