But it turns out the mysterious stranger knows quite a bit about Kamala, her great-grandmother Aisha, and the ClanDestine. He’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on the Red Dagger, a masked Pakistani protector. Who is the Red Dagger?...
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 24 “I wonder if this itch would have stopped…” Hey, remember when this was a show about plucky heroes? Picking up on the powerful revelations and themes that the previous episode “Tenko Shimura: Origin” establishes, “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” continues that chilling story in order to tell the grander narrative of the Symbol of Fear’s birth. This episode is a heartbreaking look into Shigaraki’s first steps as a villain that’s contrasted with his current destructive war against the Meta Liberation Army....

Meet the actors playing them, Nick, Charlie, and more below. Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) Year 10 sprinter, drummer and music fan Charlie is played by Joe Locke, an 18-year-old newcomer from the Isle of Man. Charlie is Heartstopper’s co-lead along with Kit Connor who plays Nick....
Nintendo has confirmed that the Direct will cover some new updates for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which means you should probably expect to hear about a new fighter joining the fray. Beyond that, everything seems fair game, although the focus will be on new Nintendo Switch games coming to the console “in the first half of 2021.” This could mean a lot of things. One franchise that is on lots of gamers’ minds is The Legend of Zelda, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary on Feb....
To cap Craig’s time as Bond, Eon Productions has tapped the very talented Billie Eilish to perform the theme for No Time to Die. The song, which is titled after the movie, is a moody ballad about love lost, accompanied by familiar musical cues from James Bond’s main theme. Ahead of the movie’s release in November, Eilish has released a music video for the theme song, which you can watch below: The movie, which was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective), sees Bond thrust into saving the world once again after seemingly calling it quits and riding off into the sunset with Dr....
Overwatch 2 proved to be a somewhat surprising hit out of the gate, but big debuts only tell part of a live service game’s story. What matters most is often what happens after such games enjoy a strong debut. So far as that goes, Overwatch 2‘s second season could tell us a lot about the game’s long-term success. Overwatch 2‘s Season 2 update is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, December 6th....
“We keep in mind the engineering specialized for the PS5, as we produced the device,” says Ryan (via translation). “In the midst of that, the PS4 already has 100 million players; we thought they ought to want to play PS4 titles on the PS5 as well indeed, so we included compatibility with the PS4. While implementing that, we also focused our efforts on taking in the high-speed SSD and the new controller DualSense at the same time....
Once again, it’s worth pointing out that “best for you” really is the key thing to keep in mind. We’re going to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each starter, but unless you’re really looking to optimize your playtime, you’re probably going to get the most out of the game if you follow your heart and pick the Pokémon that you love the most. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s look at who the real best starter Pokémon in Arceus is....
Power Rangers takes much of its battle footage from a Japanese program called Super Sentai. Every year since its inception they’ve used footage and even some plotlines from the Japanese program to varying degrees of success. Sometimes the adaptation works and sometimes… well. We’ll just get right into it. Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 MMPR threw Zyuranger to the wind. It didn’t care what the plot was; it was just bending the footage any way they could to get 40 episodes....
“Despite all the installments receiving generally negative reviews from critics, the Resident Evil film series has grossed over $1.2 billion.” Well someone must like those films, surely? Two decades on, Den of Geek has decided to revisit the original to work out once and for all whether this is a misunderstood masterpiece or a perfectly well understood trash fire. Movies Editor David Crow and UK Editor Rosie Fletcher had a rewatch and fundamentally disagreed....
While there’s no shortage of unanswered questions surrounding Lady Dimitrescu, one of the most fascinating aspects of the character is one of the few things we actually do know about her. After all, the name Dimitrescu isn’t common in the Resident Evil universe and leaves you with the impression that it was chosen to convey something specific. Well, after spending a little time investigating the history of the names Alcina and Dimitrescu, it turns out that there may be something in this name after all....
With the release of the game this month, Dimitrescu’s star is shining even brighter. We just can’t stop talking about our Lady. And when you hear who the developers at Capcom turned to for inspiration when creating this character, you get the sense that she was always destined for infamy, designed specifically to go viral. One major influence, according art director Tomonori Takano, was the Japanese internet urban legend Hasshaku-sama (or “hachishakusama”), an eight-foot-tall evil spirit in a wide-brimmed hat who lures her young male victims to her by imitating the voices of their loved ones....
Riverdale Season 6 Episode 14 “Welcome to the sad superhero club…” It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a…shirtless Archie Andrews! With its latest installment, Riverdale‘s current superhero saga proved that it isn’t afraid to liberally borrow tried and true superhero tropes in order to advance the storyline of Archie’s mighty crusaders squaring off against the increasingly diabolical (and somewhat annoyingly impervious) Percival Pickens. As a lifelong Archie Comicsfanatic, I’ll admit that it is a bit jarring to hear these characters namecheck their DC characters, but it is all in service to the grand storyline here…not to mention corporate synergy....
THR reported last week that the delay came down to Jenkins’ busy schedule. Her other commitments, including the upcoming Wonder Woman 3, which she will direct for Warner Bros., will prevent her from shooting Rogue Squadron next year in time for a big screen bow in 2023. According to the outlet, there was a hope that once Jenkins scheduled cleared up she’d be back to finish what she started with Matthew Robinson (Love and Monsters), who was writing the script....
In a surprise announcement from Disney+ it was revealed that Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) alongside Jon Kasdan would be helming a new series expanding on the lore of the classic movie. According to the streamer the yet unnamed Disney+ project “takes place years after the events of the original Willow film. It introduces all-new characters to the enchanted realm of fairy queens and two-headed Eborsisk monsters, and welcomes back its namesake hero, Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davies)....
It would be four years before that film arrived in theaters, however, and a number of things changed during that time. While Jeff Goldblum returned from the original Jurassic Park to star in The Lost World, he sat out the next movie—making way for another of the first film’s main trio, Sam Neill, to step back in as Dr. Alan Grant (Laura Dern, the third original star, stayed away almost entirely save for a brief cameo in III, before returning with Neill and Goldblum this year for Jurassic World Dominion)....
Like a cultural game of telephone, urban legends are modern folklore traded through word of mouth. Feeding our desire to gossip or trade cautionary tales à la fairy tales of old, they are part of a human desire to add to the fabric of storytelling. “Storytelling is central to learning and socialization in every culture, communicating values and beliefs, giving meaning to the world around us,” states Margee Kerr, Ph....
“This is a story about young people who have been overlooked and who’ve never had the chance to show people what they can do, who have all this talent and all of this power,” Leigh Bardugo told Den of Geek, thematically connecting this cast of young actors getting the opportunity to demonstrate their talent with their characters’ own efforts to make their mark on the world. “So it made a lot of sense in terms of the soul of the books for us to have all these incredibly gifted young people that arrived on our doorstep, like a magical gift in the show....
This will be the last film from Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, and he is really letting go. “Uncle Lloydie,” the 74-year-old low-budget filmmaking icon, is the centerpiece of the film. He wrote the script with Brandon Bassham, Gabriel Friedman, Frazer Brown, Doug Sakmann, and Zac Amico. Kaufman plays multiple roles in this tangled web of revenge and other fecal matters. As Prospero, Kaufman finds a mouthpiece instead of a codpiece, spouting undeniable truthisms in the name of pseudoscience....
Even if season one of The Lazarus Project ended with all the characters safe, happy and playing gin rummy while the world enjoyed a sunny, peril-free existence, a second season renewal for this sci-fi thriller would still have been essential because The Lazarus Project is great viewing. It’s exciting and involving, action-filled and, despite its darker-than-dark premise, often very funny (see: Shiv’s corpse landing neatly intact at George’s feet after he’s taken extreme effort to dispose of it in an exploding car....
