Elektra was one of Marvel's modern early attempt at a superhero movie. I say modern, because there are some deep cuts of Marvel superhero movies, like the '80s Punisher movie. Nobody knew what to do with superhero movies back in the 80s. It wasn't until the 2000s that the genre came back. Elektra may seem like a weird choice, but this was back when they were too scared to try their bigger names in fear of ruining them. Obviously they are over that fear now. They're throwing these movies at us like bread to ducks.
Elektra was a character from the Daredevil world and they were trying to ride the Ben Affleck Daredevil train. Unfortunately that train was more like one of those trains meant for kids. Slow and lame. Garner was a good choice for the character though, given her experience on 'Alias' as a butt-kicking spy.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
