Born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, Destiny Ricks doesn’t describe herself as the typical Southern Belle. Growing up, Ricks often lost herself in the various fascinating worlds she found in literature and comic books, particularly with Batman. Her mother, an educator, instilled a love of reading and writing in her and once her brother gifted her a camera, the rest, as they say, is history. On her YouTube channel, Ricks discusses and analyzes films and often geeks out about the latest comic book properties. Ricks is a nerd through and through and you can find her at her most chaotic on her Twitter.

While it occasionally falters in the script and the pacing, Emma Stone’s fantastic performance, as the well-known Disney villain, brings the film together to create a gratifying movie-going experience.

In a world of phenomenal, high-quality comic book content, “Jupiter’s Legacy” falls a bit flat. It’s amazing that “Jupiter’s Legacy” lets us jump into a universe that is already formed. But while it has a great cast and characters with fascinating powers, “Jupiter’s Legacy” moves at such a slow pace and is so unfocused that it becomes a chore to watch. And by the end of the show, it just becomes a pitch for Season 2/Volume 2.
