'Captain America: Brave New World' Can’t Fix Marvel’s Identity Crisis

Hi, I'm Lyvie.
I'm an entertainment writer with an unquenchable love for minority stories. The bulk of my work examines the relationship between those stories and 'genre genres' like action, science-fiction and fantasy. I'm happiest when consuming media that centers women of color, critiquing the ongoing state of the entertainment industry, or discussing my current roster of celebrity crushes.
You can find me at Inverse, /Film, TV Guide and more - but I'm available for film reviews, reported features, and interviews.
