Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

How many superheroes does it take to topple a deranged Norse god?

Roughly six, and it's down to Joss Whedon's adroit directing and a perky script that this adventure isn't a debacle. In fact, it's quite a bit of fun. Tom Hiddleston's loco Loki is hell-bent on conquering Earth and crushing his brother, Thor, but Iron Man, Captain America (above), Black Widow, Hawkeye and the Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo, the pick of the heroes here) team up to stop him. Undemanding.
