There comes a point where we must draw the line between our adoration for a celebrity and letting them have the dignity of resting in peace (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/04/09/why-the-selena-hologram-is-a-really-bad-idea/\" target=\"_blank\">Selena's hologram comes to mind\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the show does its best to navigate this tricky space, by working with Amy's immediate family to move the spotlight off of the tragedy and spectacle of her life and onto mementos that project a simple truth: Amy Winehouse was just a girl.

Photo: The Winehouse family\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>1. Amy is so defined by London, but she was almost an American! Her ancestor, Harris Winehouse, emigrated from Minsk, Belarus to London in 1890, and was soon followed by his family. The only problem? He meant to go to New York. Oops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Amy's grandmother, Cynthia, was a bad ass. She believed herself to be a medium and taught Amy how to read tarot cards. \"Nan\" also held a grudge (\u003cem>broyges\u003c/em> in Yiddish) against Amy's brother for not saying hello to her when he was eight. That's one way to teach the youth to respect their elders!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Amy loved \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/16/the-smiths-and-charlie-brown-a-match-made-in-miserable-heaven/\" target=\"_blank\">Snoopy\u003c/a> growing up and well into adulthood. She collected any books featuring the cartoon pup that she could get her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Amy always wanted to live in Camden, a hip neighborhood in London. When she was old enough, she got a job selling candles at the market there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Amy was an OK cook, but made a mean meatball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. She was essentially expelled from two different schools. During a class at Sylvia Young Theatre School, she decided it was a good time as any to pierce her ears with a drawing pin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Her music collection was wide-ranging. There are artists you would expect: Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong.

The singer, who died in 2011, is both the subject of a documentary, \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em>, in wide release now, and a museum exhibit, \u003cem>Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/em>, which after its initial London run is opening at the Contemporary Jewish Museum this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before her death of alcohol poisoning at age 27, Winehouse was many things: a brilliant songwriter, a transformative singer, a fashion icon. But from the moment her breakthrough single “Rehab” was released, Winehouse was also incessant tabloid fodder, a paparazzi paycheck, and — as her issues with drug use became more publicized — a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goT0auqNe4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">television late-show punchline\u003c/a>.

Winehouse can go nowhere without the machine-gun firing of flashes in her face, and it’s no surprise that she chooses to stay inside — where, ironically, she takes pictures of herself, her face increasingly sunken-in and marred by the effects of heavy crack cocaine and alcohol use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqmwcEtU2Js\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> does best is remind us that Winehouse’s music was her own.

Instead, visitors hear songs inspired by a playlist titled “Songs on My Chill-Out Tape,” photocopied and framed in bubbly-Winehouse-cursive. It’s a strange feeling to walk into an exhibit dedicated to Amy Winehouse and hear the Offspring’s angsty 1994 hit “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abrn8aVQ76Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Self Esteem\u003c/a>,” just as it’s strange that the exhibit’s first stateside appearance is in San Francisco, a city where Winehouse \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMkllifDPK4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only performed once\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a separate conversation to be had about museums opening their doors to musical celebrity, be it Björk’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2015/03/momas-bjork-disaster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">widely lambasted exhibition at New York’s MoMA\u003c/a>, or PJ Harvey’s intriguing \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/58102-pj-harvey-begins-recording-new-album-in-public/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Recording in Progress\u003c/em> at Somerset House\u003c/a> in London. But there’s an extra delicacy to the Contemporary Jewish Museum’s exhibition in the fact that Amy Winehouse died just four short years ago. (As if to underscore this discomfort, the exhibit’s opening date, July 23, is the exact anniversary of her death.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em>, the only hint of Winehouse’s Jewish heritage comes during her funeral, where scattered attendees wear yarmulkes. Winehouse was descended from Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, but didn’t attend synagogue, which makes this exhibit of personal effects assembled by her siblings Alex and Riva more a use of Jewish ancestry than Jewish faith; thus, we get framed chicken soup recipes, photos from her great-grandparents’ barbershop, and a family tree that traces back to Belarus, Russia and Poland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10854411\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 428px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/AmySouthgate.jpg\" alt=\"A young Amy outside her Grandma’s flat in Southgate.

(Photo: The Winehouse family/ Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This same wall contains Amy’s handwritten application to Sylvia Young Theatre School, in which she declares, “I have this dream to be very famous. To work on stage. It’s a life-long ambition.” Notably, this is in contrast to statements she would make about fame that were included in \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> (“I don’t think I could handle it,” Winehouse says, pre-\u003cem>Back to Black\u003c/em>. “I’m sure I’d go mad”), but a 1994 class photo hints that Winehouse was ready for anything the world might throw her way. She’s easy to spot, dead center, hunched forward before her schoolmates with a determined look in her young eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One wall is dedicated to Winehouse’s music, and obsessives will find themselves craning their necks to read the spines of select LPs and CDs from her collection. (Along with expected titles from Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington and Mary J. Blige — artists who had a clear influence on her phrasing — there’s a sizable amount of hip-hop: Dead Prez, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Kid Koala, Common, Jungle Brothers and others.) The music wall also contains Winehouse’s black Regal resonator guitar, which, according to brother Alex, “is probably the worst musical instrument ever made,” yet its presence here is another reminder of Winehouse’s songwriting ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two more walls showcase Winehouse’s wardrobe, a mix of thrift-store \u003cem>Swingers\u003c/em> chic and high fashion. Shoes are the thing here, with Fendi, Yves Saint-Laurent, Ferragamo and Louboutin pairs on display, but the most striking item is a Luella Bartley dress worn at Glastonbury in 2008 with an impossibly tiny waist. It instantly recalls Winehouse’s ongoing struggles with bulimia — a disease her mother essentially pooh-poohs in \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> — and the viewer is compelled to get a sideways view to see just how thin Winehouse forced her own body to become.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, creeping back up again, the icky feeling that we’re mining Winehouse’s personal demons and private life but pretending to ourselves that it’s homage. Two examples from the exhibit come to mind, and one is a vintage white-and-gold 1950s cocktail bar that Winehouse owned. Winehouse drank heavily, ultimately destroying herself with alcohol, but the family’s description painstakingly asserts that “She never actually used the bar for its actual purpose; it was more of a good place to put letters and bills, rather than drinks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10854412\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/AmyCenterDresses.jpg\" alt=\"Installation view from 'Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait,' Jewish Museum London, July 3–September 15, 2013.

You’ve seen these before: the 1950s housewife captioned with “I don’t suffer from insanity — I enjoy every minute of it” or “Ran into my ex… put it in reverse and hit him again.” The only magnets remotely personal to Winehouse are a few from Miami, where she and Fielder were married, or Austin, where she performed at South by Southwest. The others are so laughably banal, as if someone ransacked her apartment after she died and grabbed whatever was left, that one wonders why we’re not also ogling drawers of her twist-ties and bins of her discarded Q-tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A companion exhibit, \u003cem>You Know I’m No Good\u003c/em>, with work by Jennie Ottinger, Rachel Harrison, and Jason Jagel, adds an artistic reaction to Winehouse’s legacy, and raises valid questions about black appropriation and the predatory act of capturing one’s image. Parents brought here by their teenage children may find more of interest in it than in staring at a rack of Winehouse’s suspenders and belts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does any of this voyeurism deepen our appreciation of Winehouse’s artistry? Not especially. \u003cem>You Know I’m No Good\u003c/em> takes its title from one of Winehouse’s most self-examining songs, but as we already know, Any Winehouse \u003cem>was\u003c/em> good. So good, in fact, that even four years after her death, we evidently still can’t leave her alone.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Winehouse can go nowhere without the machine-gun firing of flashes in her face, and it’s no surprise that she chooses to stay inside — where, ironically, she takes pictures of herself, her face increasingly sunken-in and marred by the effects of heavy crack cocaine and alcohol use.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/wqmwcEtU2Js'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/wqmwcEtU2Js'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>What \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> does best is remind us that Winehouse’s music was her own.

Instead, visitors hear songs inspired by a playlist titled “Songs on My Chill-Out Tape,” photocopied and framed in bubbly-Winehouse-cursive. It’s a strange feeling to walk into an exhibit dedicated to Amy Winehouse and hear the Offspring’s angsty 1994 hit “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abrn8aVQ76Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Self Esteem\u003c/a>,” just as it’s strange that the exhibit’s first stateside appearance is in San Francisco, a city where Winehouse \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMkllifDPK4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only performed once\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a separate conversation to be had about museums opening their doors to musical celebrity, be it Björk’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2015/03/momas-bjork-disaster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">widely lambasted exhibition at New York’s MoMA\u003c/a>, or PJ Harvey’s intriguing \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/58102-pj-harvey-begins-recording-new-album-in-public/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Recording in Progress\u003c/em> at Somerset House\u003c/a> in London. But there’s an extra delicacy to the Contemporary Jewish Museum’s exhibition in the fact that Amy Winehouse died just four short years ago. (As if to underscore this discomfort, the exhibit’s opening date, July 23, is the exact anniversary of her death.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em>, the only hint of Winehouse’s Jewish heritage comes during her funeral, where scattered attendees wear yarmulkes. Winehouse was descended from Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, but didn’t attend synagogue, which makes this exhibit of personal effects assembled by her siblings Alex and Riva more a use of Jewish ancestry than Jewish faith; thus, we get framed chicken soup recipes, photos from her great-grandparents’ barbershop, and a family tree that traces back to Belarus, Russia and Poland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10854411\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 428px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/AmySouthgate.jpg\" alt=\"A young Amy outside her Grandma’s flat in Southgate.

(Photo: The Winehouse family/ Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This same wall contains Amy’s handwritten application to Sylvia Young Theatre School, in which she declares, “I have this dream to be very famous. To work on stage. It’s a life-long ambition.” Notably, this is in contrast to statements she would make about fame that were included in \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> (“I don’t think I could handle it,” Winehouse says, pre-\u003cem>Back to Black\u003c/em>. “I’m sure I’d go mad”), but a 1994 class photo hints that Winehouse was ready for anything the world might throw her way. She’s easy to spot, dead center, hunched forward before her schoolmates with a determined look in her young eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One wall is dedicated to Winehouse’s music, and obsessives will find themselves craning their necks to read the spines of select LPs and CDs from her collection. (Along with expected titles from Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington and Mary J. Blige — artists who had a clear influence on her phrasing — there’s a sizable amount of hip-hop: Dead Prez, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Kid Koala, Common, Jungle Brothers and others.) The music wall also contains Winehouse’s black Regal resonator guitar, which, according to brother Alex, “is probably the worst musical instrument ever made,” yet its presence here is another reminder of Winehouse’s songwriting ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two more walls showcase Winehouse’s wardrobe, a mix of thrift-store \u003cem>Swingers\u003c/em> chic and high fashion. Shoes are the thing here, with Fendi, Yves Saint-Laurent, Ferragamo and Louboutin pairs on display, but the most striking item is a Luella Bartley dress worn at Glastonbury in 2008 with an impossibly tiny waist. It instantly recalls Winehouse’s ongoing struggles with bulimia — a disease her mother essentially pooh-poohs in \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> — and the viewer is compelled to get a sideways view to see just how thin Winehouse forced her own body to become.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, creeping back up again, the icky feeling that we’re mining Winehouse’s personal demons and private life but pretending to ourselves that it’s homage. Two examples from the exhibit come to mind, and one is a vintage white-and-gold 1950s cocktail bar that Winehouse owned. Winehouse drank heavily, ultimately destroying herself with alcohol, but the family’s description painstakingly asserts that “She never actually used the bar for its actual purpose; it was more of a good place to put letters and bills, rather than drinks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10854412\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/AmyCenterDresses.jpg\" alt=\"Installation view from 'Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait,' Jewish Museum London, July 3–September 15, 2013.

You’ve seen these before: the 1950s housewife captioned with “I don’t suffer from insanity — I enjoy every minute of it” or “Ran into my ex… put it in reverse and hit him again.” The only magnets remotely personal to Winehouse are a few from Miami, where she and Fielder were married, or Austin, where she performed at South by Southwest. The others are so laughably banal, as if someone ransacked her apartment after she died and grabbed whatever was left, that one wonders why we’re not also ogling drawers of her twist-ties and bins of her discarded Q-tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A companion exhibit, \u003cem>You Know I’m No Good\u003c/em>, with work by Jennie Ottinger, Rachel Harrison, and Jason Jagel, adds an artistic reaction to Winehouse’s legacy, and raises valid questions about black appropriation and the predatory act of capturing one’s image. Parents brought here by their teenage children may find more of interest in it than in staring at a rack of Winehouse’s suspenders and belts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yes, Nicki is surely referencing Taylor in that last tweet (Swift is the only female other than Nicki's BFF Beyonce in that category), but her overall message has little to do with Swift and everything to do with an industry that consistently values one type of artist over another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor didn't see it that way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/623616796277506048\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicki responded with an um, what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/623618047673106433\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting back to her point:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/623617003153035264\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Taylor did her best to backtrack and came off as patronizing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/623628086614036480\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love you, Taylor, but you done goofed. And most of the media agrees. \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> called Swift's reply \"faux-feminist and tone deaf.\" \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> further questioned Taylor's approach: \"When female solidarity shuts down someone’s honest expression of frustration at society, inequality, and racial and body-type bias, that’s hardly progressive.\" And Gawker had some strong words for Taylor's brand of feminism: \"Swift isn’t here to help women—she’s here to make bank...Her plan—to be as famous and as rich as she can possibly be—is working, and by using other women as tools of her self-promotion, she is distilling feminism for her own benefit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/05/the-debate-of-our-times-taylor-swift/\" target=\"_blank\">isn't the first time\u003c/a> Taylor has misused feminism to strike back. Let's rewind back to 2013 when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made some joke while hosting the Golden Globes about Taylor taking some \"me time\" instead of dating so much, which caused Taylor to respond with:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.'”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oy vey. And this from someone who in 2012 said this about whether she defined herself as a feminist:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's great that Taylor has done some reading and thinking and realized that she was a feminist after all and should do her best, as we all should, to promote the equality of the sexes. But it's important to not get so focused on one issue that you begin missing the forest for the trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor meant well in her response to Nicki; she thought she was bringing attention to the latent sexism that's been programmed into us by our patriarchal society. But she failed to notice the racial component of Nicki's message because that's not something that Taylor knows a lot about. She doesn't know what it's like to have her skin color dictate who will meet with her, sign her to a label, play her records, give her awards, etc. It's just not on her radar. Just like feminism wasn't on her radar back when she insisted that she wasn't someone who thought of \"things as guys versus girls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that these are the kind of situations that help us grow. Taylor missed the point because of her white privilege. She knows that now and will hopefully mature and learn more about race and a host of other things that aren't part of her lived experience. Just like we all do. The only difference is we get to do it without the entire world watching.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And most of the media agrees. \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> called Swift's reply \"faux-feminist and tone deaf.\" \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> further questioned Taylor's approach: \"When female solidarity shuts down someone’s honest expression of frustration at society, inequality, and racial and body-type bias, that’s hardly progressive.\" And Gawker had some strong words for Taylor's brand of feminism: \"Swift isn’t here to help women—she’s here to make bank...Her plan—to be as famous and as rich as she can possibly be—is working, and by using other women as tools of her self-promotion, she is distilling feminism for her own benefit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/05/the-debate-of-our-times-taylor-swift/\" target=\"_blank\">isn't the first time\u003c/a> Taylor has misused feminism to strike back. Let's rewind back to 2013 when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made some joke while hosting the Golden Globes about Taylor taking some \"me time\" instead of dating so much, which caused Taylor to respond with:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.'”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oy vey. And this from someone who in 2012 said this about whether she defined herself as a feminist:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's great that Taylor has done some reading and thinking and realized that she was a feminist after all and should do her best, as we all should, to promote the equality of the sexes. But it's important to not get so focused on one issue that you begin missing the forest for the trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor meant well in her response to Nicki; she thought she was bringing attention to the latent sexism that's been programmed into us by our patriarchal society. But she failed to notice the racial component of Nicki's message because that's not something that Taylor knows a lot about. She doesn't know what it's like to have her skin color dictate who will meet with her, sign her to a label, play her records, give her awards, etc. It's just not on her radar. Just like feminism wasn't on her radar back when she insisted that she wasn't someone who thought of \"things as guys versus girls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that these are the kind of situations that help us grow. Taylor missed the point because of her white privilege. She knows that now and will hopefully mature and learn more about race and a host of other things that aren't part of her lived experience. Just like we all do. The only difference is we get to do it without the entire world watching.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Point being, the stakes are high and fans of the show take the competition very seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So today's announcement of a second season of All Stars is major, to say the least. The premiere won't arrive until 2016, but that doesn't mean we can't make a wish list of the queens we hope to watch compete for the crown a second time.

Bringing her back is a no-brainer, especially considering her sudden disqualification (the rumor is she broke the rules by receiving conjugal visits from her man).

The former \u003cem>American Idol\u003c/em> contestant wasn't considered strong competition in the beginning of her season because she had a \"hog body\" and was less polished than some of the pageant girls, but she proved everyone wrong with a second place finish. Since \u003cem>Drag Race\u003c/em>, she has become the highest charting drag queen on the Billboard charts (even besting mama Ru!). Her single \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmV62-f-xnU\" target=\"_blank\">\"I Adore U\"\u003c/a> is easily better than most pop songs you will hear on the radio.

Psylocke, played by Olivia Munn, is similarly killing it in the style department. She's an under-appreciated character in the X-Men universe (she only got one or two cameos in the animated series) so it's good to see her finally getting her deserved place in the film series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's Apocalypse. The villain is supposed to be a towering, brutal blue giant. Here, he is played by Oscar Isaac, who is 5'9\". Apocalypse is supposed to be the biggest and the baddest. We're supposed to believe that he could truly precipitate the end of the world. All this depiction accomplishes is reminding us of Ivan Ooze, the villain from the Power Rangers movie:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/tumblr_inline_nbajyrnJQS1r2z6s8.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17148\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/tumblr_inline_nbajyrnJQS1r2z6s8.gif\" alt=\"tumblr_inline_nbajyrnJQS1r2z6s8\" width=\"500\" height=\"272\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17141\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 612px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/fassbender-ew-1373.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-17141 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/fassbender-ew-1373.jpg\" alt=\"fassbender-ew-1373\" width=\"612\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/fassbender-ew-1373.jpg 612w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/fassbender-ew-1373-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Alan Markfield / Entertainment Weekly\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This shot of Michael Fassbender as Magneto looks like a screen test for \u003cem>Drive\u003c/em> (you know, the movie in which Ryan Gosling wears a fly scorpion jacket and kills people in elevators).
