As such, I think the movie leans a little too much into the nostalgia factor. I don’t have an overwhelming amount of love for any of the Fox movies; I think the original X-Men films are good, and Jackman is absolutely the best part of them, but I tend to favor the animated versions of
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans was established to support exceptional immigrants and children of immigrants in pursuing graduate education in the United States. By awarding up to $90,000 in funding to 30 individuals each year, the fellowship program aims to highlight the diverse contributions of New Americans to society and culture.
