5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NICK FURY

5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NICK FURY

Saturday, 17 June 2023

When it comes to iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Nick Fury is a name that resonates with fans all over the world.  A central figure in the MCU, he has shaped most if not all of Earth’s mightiest heroes. Whether you're a fan eagerly anticipating his appearance in Secret Invasion on Disney+ Hotstar premiering on June 21, or a curious viewer intrigued by the mastermind behind the Avengers, here are five things you should know about Nick Fury.

FORMER S.H.I.E.L.D DIRECTOR

Nick Fury ran The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) with the World Security Council where he dealt with the significant rise in enhanced individuals, dangerous advanced technology, and alien contact. As the former head of this covert intelligence agency, Fury has always been operating behind the scenes, orchestrating complex operations and mobilising resources to protect the world from various threats. 

HE FORMED THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE 

After meeting Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, Fury realised that the entirety of Earth's resources were insufficient for safeguarding the planet, particularly in the face of intergalactic perils. As a result, he established “The Avengers Initiative” formerly known as "The Protector Initiative", a group consisting of the earth’s mightiest heroes meant to protect everyone.

MARIA HILL IS HIS BEST AGENT AND FRIEND

Maria Hill has always been a constant in Fury’s life. The former Deputy Director and Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D, she was appointed by Nick Fury as his right-hand man. Not only did Hill oversee the Avengers Initiative and the resurrection of Phil Coulson, she eventually helped fake Fury's death when he was attacked by HYDRA, and worked alongside Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon to expose HYDRA's existence and terminate Project Insight. 

Her unwavering loyalty, trustworthiness, and shared dedication to their cause makes her one of his best agents. As his friend, she consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of Fury's intentions, thoughts, and motivations.

NICK FURY IS NO STRANGER TO BETRAYAL

His trust has been shattered on multiple occasions, most notably by his own comrade-in-arms, Alexander Pierce, whose true allegiance as a Hydra agent was a devastating blow. Under Pierce’s command, an assassination attempt on Fury was carried out.  In a world teeming with treachery, Fury's resilience proves that even in the face of betrayal, he remains a formidable force to be reckoned with.

THE ORIGINS OF THE EYE-PATCH 

Nick Fury's trademark black leather eye-patch has long captivated Marvel fans. For years, fans speculated and theorised the story behind it. In 2019's Captain Marvel, it was revealed that Fury lost his eye due to an unexpected scratch from the mischievous feline, Goose, a Flerken which is an alien species brought to Earth by Mar-Vell.

FEEL-GOOD SHOWS TO CATCH ON DISNEY+ HOTSTAR THIS RAMADHAN

Tuesday, 14 March 2023

Embarking on the journey of Ramadhan means taking the time to focus on self-reflection, spirituality and most importantly healing. Be it before or after “buka puasa”, why not get into shows that will make you feel more connected with your inner self?

This Ramadhan, we’ve rounded up some feel-good shows on Disney+ Hotstar that highlight the act of self-love and healing. From local shows to documentaries and even Korean dramas, there’s always something for everybody to enjoy. 

CINTA SUBUH 

Angga, a college student who rarely wakes up in time to pray the morning prayer, falls in love with Ratih, a clever and religious young man. Ratih wants a partner who can help him get closer to his religion and so he wants to help guide Angga. As the pressure increases, Angga soon realizes that they are not compatible with one another and she decides to part ways. The story is a great example that while we should always strive to improve and be better, we should also let go of things that do not serve us.

LIMITLESS WITH CHRIS HEMSWORTH 

Chris Hemsworth is on a mission to live better for longer. With the help of top scientists, he takes on six epic challenges to push his mind and body to the limit.  Why not spend this Ramadhan fasting with Chris Hemsworth while discovering how abstaining from food cleanses your body and more importantly repairs your cells. In one of the episodes, we learn how fasting strengthens the mind and literally heals the body. 

AYAHANDA 

A village Imam and Jurunikah who teaches at an old surau, is faced with a conflict when the villagers seek for him to be replaced by a younger Imam. Ayahanda is about family conflict, as the children find it difficult to reason with their father. However, at the end, they manage to overcome their differences as the children vow to be more understanding towards their father. True to the meaning of Ramadhan, this story teaches us how liberating forgiveness can be and how a whole family unit can start to heal when everyone puts aside their differences and strive to understand each other better. 

MS MARVEL

In this series, Kamala and Nakia are of Muslim heritage and trying to balance that with the American lifestyle has not always been easy. However, Nakia shows us that when you embrace your culture, traditions and live life the way you want to rather than trying to please others, you can find your voice and heal. The series also showcases their Eid Mubarak celebration so why not countdown the days to Hari Raya with Kamala and Nakia.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER 

Jihun is one of the best lawyers while routinely only charging only one dollar per case and is committed to social justice and defending fundamental human rights. He may be an eccentric lawyer with an unusual style but he wasn’t always like that. In fact he used to be the complete opposite. So what’s changed? Is he truly happier or has he just found a different perspective in life? Go through this journey of self-discovery and healing with Jihun in One Dollar Lawyer.
