Why James Gunn Nixed Superman As The Suicide Squad S Main Villain

While it’s hard to imagine James Gunn’s recent balls-to-the-wall DC movie The Suicide Squad without its tragic villain Starro now, the director almost pit his team of complex anti-heroes against the Man of Steel, but the uncertain status of the DCEU and question marks over Henry Cavill’s future in it as Superman became sticking points. “There was a time when I thought The Suicide Squad should fight Superman,” Gunn revealed in a new interview with Script Apart, adding his reasoning for for not picking Superman was that “At the time, there were a lot of questions like, ‘Who is Superman in the DCEU?...

Why Jason X Is A Perfect Friday The 13Th Sequel

Anyone watching a Friday the 13th movie today comes to the classic slasher franchise with more than a few expectations. They want to see Jason Voorhees, of course, complete with his hockey mask and machete. But they likely also want to see some intellectually-challenged teens (played by people in their late 20s and early 30s) get torn apart by a lumbering monster they could never hope to stop. It may surprise some Friday neophytes to learn that as formulaic as the series may be, not every entry contains all of those expected elements....

Why The Mandalorian Was Always Destined To Meet Luke Skywalker

Now that the smoke has cleared and all those dark troopers have felt the heat from Luke’s green blade, we can finally reflect on the legendary Jedi’s debut on The Mandalorian. As exciting as the finale’s biggest moment was, Luke’s cameo proved to be a divisive one among Star Wars fans despite it hardly being all that surprising. Some fans felt that the cameo was designed to appease toxic fans still angry over the character’s portrayal in The Last Jedi, a move some said resembled the “over correction” in The Rise of Skywalker....

Why The Orville New Horizons Season 4 Needs To Happen

Creator Seth MacFarlane and his team accomplished an amazing third season with The Orville: New Horizons, and did so with so many outside factors affecting production. Despite the pandemic, interruptions in filming, and Fox being bought by Disney, season three is arguably the show’s strongest season in terms of storytelling. Most notably, the writers often seemed as if they were playing the “long game,” setting up new plots for the future, and incorporating several throwbacks from previous episodes....

Why The Xbox Series X Smoking Videos Are A Poor Attempt To Reignite The Overheating Controversy

I’ve spent the last two weeks with the Xbox Series X, testing out everything from its excellent load times and 4K 60fps visuals to its backward compatibility and game-changing Quick Resume feature. Throughout my time with the console, one thing I didn’t encounter was any major overheating issue. At the very least, there was never a moment when I had to nervously glance at my fire extinguisher while using the console....

Will A Knuckles Live Action Series Team Up With Sonic

This begs the question of what the series will be about. Much like many characters in the Sonic universe, Knuckles doesn’t have one clear origin and we aren’t even sure how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will handle it (though based on the trailers we have some clues.) What will the series follow Knuckles doing? Then of course we have to wonder, will this series give Knuckles the chance to team-up with Sonic?...

Wwe 2K22 Makes The Most Out Of Lowered Expectations

The problem is that as those studios desperately tried to get these installments out year after year, the foundation started to rot. Quality control fell to the wayside. Bugs and glitches started to overwhelm the engine, and we eventually ended up with WWE 2K20: a shame of a release that found itself on seemingly every “worst of” video game list in 2019. It was the kind of disaster that couldn’t be overlooked....

Zodiac Killer Code Cracked After 51 Years

Zodiac had a habit of taunting police by sending letters to the press, and several of those contained intricate codes, some of which he claimed would ultimately reveal his identity. This marks the second coded message to be broken by civilians. In July of 1969, a puzzle sent in pieces to The San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, and Vallejo Times-Herald newspapers in 1969, was cracked by a school teacher from Salinas, Calif....

Eagate Controversy Reactions Call For The End Of Fifa Loot Boxes

It S Just So Dark And Terrifying The Voices Behind Attack On Titan S Final Season

A lot of anime series leave a mark on the industry, but Attack on Titan has been at the forefront of the medium for nearly a decade ever since it first made its debut in 2013. The daring anime has featured disturbing massacres and gripping body horror that sometimes feels as if David Cronenberg is in charge of the designs for a kaiju series. Attack on Titan‘s rich themes and unbelievable serialized storytelling have perpetually kept audiences on the edge of their seats....

10 Best How I Met Your Mother Episodes

How I Met Your Mother amassed a total of 208 episodes and this list is devoted to its 10 finest installments. Like any show that runs for so long, there were the expected dips in quality over How I Met Your Mother‘s life span. When whittling down choices, not a single episode of the rather redundant eighth season came into contention, and only a sole outing from season seven (“Trilogy Time”) almost made the cut....

15 Super Mario Games That Never Happened

What you may not know, though, is that there have actually been many Super Mario games over the years that were never released for one reason or another. Why many of these projects are nothing more than pieces of obscure trivia (such as the Mario Kart game that Elon Musk wanted to install in Tesla vehicles), some of these canceled, rejected, and unreleased titles shine a light on what could have been....

1932 Harrison Ford And Helen Mirren Lead Cast Of Yellowstone Prequel

Here is everything we know about the series. 1932 – Yellowstone Prequel Cast Aside from the blockbuster announcement of these two legends of the screen, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, no other cast members at this time have been officially announced. However, it is certainly safe to assume that Sheridan may once again dip into the pool of actors he has used before. James Jordan who has appeared in all of Sheridan’s shows so far seems like a certainty in some capacity....

20 Best Crime Video Games Ever

As some of the best and biggest TV shows, movies, and books have proven, we are often more fascinated with the world of crime than many of us are willing to admit. Of course, there are limits to what those mediums can offer. We can watch Tony Soprano and Henry Hill live out that life we’re strangely fascinated with, but we have to check our darker desires to participate at the door before we go on a guided tour through that lifestyle....

20 Best Playstation 3 Games Ever

But with time, those issues faded away. The higher price tag, due in part to the then-novel Blu-ray disc drive, just meant games could be larger and more detailed than ever before. Developers quickly adapted to the console, and now the PS3 is just as fondly remembered as any other Sony console. As we look back at the 15th anniversary of the PS3’s launch, it’s time to rank the 20 games that still stand out as the very best on the console:...

For as celebrated as video game sequels often are, though, it’s not uncommon for one to fly under the radar. From very good games that had the misfortune of following beloved classics to great games that improved really bad ones that managed to stain the series’ name, there’s no shortage of reasons why a video game sequel may go overlooked or underappreciated.

A Tale Of Two Pietros Explaining The Mcu X Men Problem With A Mutant Speedster

Since his creation by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in the mid-60s, Quicksilver has been a fairly important part of the Marvel Universe. The mutant speedster started as a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, then became one of the earliest members of the Avengers. Over the decades, he’s married into the Inhumans, joined various X-teams, been a mentor to the Avengers Academy, and had his parentage retconned several times over....

Adam Warlock Could Bring The Infinity Stones Back To The Mcu

Concentrated ingots forged from the singularities that founded the universe. That’s how the Collector described the Infinity Stones in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Since that introduction, the Stones have only loomed larger in the minds of audiences, especially when Thanos used them to snap away half of all existence in Avengers: Infinity War. But when we last saw Infinity Stones in the MCU, they were a joke, trinkets to be tossed aside by the TVA in Loki....
