The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 4 Review Rendition

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 4 Has anyone on The Walking Dead been through as much as Daryl Dixon? He’s been tortured several times at this point, including the most insidious torture method ever devised by Negan. He’s been injured in pretty much every possible way someone can be injured. His motorcycles have long since stopped running. His friends won’t let him retreat into the woods like the smelly hermit he longs to be....

The Weird History Of Friday The 13Th Comics

The surprising thing to me is that the earliest Jason comic is only in the early 90s. For comparison, the RoboCop comics all stretched across the franchise’s entire existence. They were around for all four movies as well as the stretch where he was just about nostalgia. Jason Voorhees didn’t get the same treatment. For the most part, they missed the boat. Topps Comics first picked up the license and Jason’s comic book debut came in July of 1993....

The Wonder Florence Pugh Finds Antidote To Don T Worry Darling Nonsense

The opening shot of Sebastián Lelio’s (Disobedience, Gloria Bell) period drama at first resembles Nathan Fielder’s intensely awkward, unflinchingly meta HBO series, The Rehearsal: a warehouse containing a movie set. Though The Wonder is meant to be focused on the 1862 Irish home of the O’Donnell family, within which a supposed miracle will be interrogated, the audience is introduced to the house from the back. The first thing we witness is the modern scaffolding propping it up, the fabrications outside of what we must come to believe is an attic room in which a devout young girl will slowly waste away....

Titans Get To Know Blackfire

Titans Episode 4 As the team continues to grow, Titans episode 4, “Blackfire,” re-introduces us to Starfire’s sister. If you’ve watched the previous season of Titans then you’ll remember her as the epically stylish and nefarious Queen of Tamaran. While Blackfire (Damaris Lewis) was less of a present threat in season two, now she’s on Earth and, as we learn this week this week, has been behind Starfire’s escalating and ever more violent visions....

Titans Episode 11 Review Dick Grayson

Titans Episode 11 As good as Titans has been during its first season, and I do believe that the balance of these episodes have been very good, with moments that approach greatness, it really hasn’t done itself any favors. Unfortunately, the Titans finale is a particularly egregious example of the show playing into the outside perceptions of the show. From the first trailer, Titans has been a little…confusing. That early footage made it seem like the series was going to lean into the worst instincts of the early DCEU, or that the show was trying far too hard to distinguish itself as a piece of “adult” television, along the lines of the Marvel Netflix shows....

Transformers Earthspark Trailer Shows Off New Autobots

While we’d been briefly introduced to the Earthborn Terran Transformers, Twitch and Thrash, this trailer gives us a better understanding of what we can expect from them in Transformers: EarthSpark. Not only will they be defending Earth but more importantly they’ll be living with the Malto family. Guided by Bumblebee, it looks like the human characters will also have an important role to play in the developing personalities of these unique Transformers....

Vikings Season 5 Episode 14 Review The Lost Moment

Vikings Season 5 Episode 14 “I would go to hell for you, Lagertha.” For an episode so fraught with promise, “The Lost Moment” never manages to make it out of second gear. Ivar’s further descent into darkness fails to gain much traction, the Wessex coup seemingly falls by the wayside, and though Floki finally stands up and takes charge, it’s too little, too late. Vikings offers no lack of intrigue, and the exceptional acting and production values remain, but the boldness of earlier seasons seems to have vanished, leaving viewers with a solid, but somewhat uninspiring cadre of characters....

Wandavision How Monica Rambeau Fits In The Mcu

Monica Rambeau has officially arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appeared as a kid in 2017’s Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris’s adult iteration of her has been in most episodes of WandaVision so far, but it wasn’t until the fourth episode, “We Interrupt this Program,” viewers finally got a chance to see adult Monica as “herself” (rather than her sitcom alter ego of “Geraldine”) and learn her backstory....

Wandavision Represents The Mcu S Evolving Relationship With Death

The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t particularly well-known for its jump scares. Though the studio’s suite of 23 films have adeptly blended genres at times, at the end of the day these are all still PG-13 action movies…not horror. That all changed last week, however, when the studio’s first official television effort, WandaVision decided to spring a dead body on an unsuspecting audience. For one brief moment, Wanda Maximoff loses focus in maintaining her fabricated sitcom world....

Why Gta 5 Is Still Rockstar S Masterpiece

There’s a lot you can say about why GTA 5 has stayed popular over the years, but any discussions have to start with the fact that it is a great game. It managed to surpass even unreasonable levels of hype and has received widespread acclaim from fans and critics over nearly eight years. Most importantly, it stands as developer Rockstar’s masterpiece despite the fact that their library of titles already makes many other Triple-A developers envious....

Why Max Payne 2 Is Still The Best Action Movie Simulator Ever

This is one of those announcements that once felt like it was never going to happen. Between the Max Payne games’ disappointing sales (or at least the Max Payne sequels’ disappointing sales), Rockstar’s ownership of the franchise rights, and the many failures of the 2008 Max Payne movie, the entire franchise has lingered in a strange space for quite some time. The games are famous, readily available, and obviously influential, but Rockstar has never seemed eager to return to them in any way....

Why Reminiscence And Westworld S Sci Fi Futures Feel So Real

Both Westworld, the HBO television series she co-created with writing partner and spouse Jonathan Nolan, and Reminiscence, which marks her feature film debut as a writer and director, are layered in ambiguity and the dawning realization that the world is not how we think it appears. In the case of Westworld that comes in the form of robots realizing they’re trapped in preordained loops; in Reminiscence, it is the humans themselves who must confront their own delusions, particularly the ones we tell ourselves about the past....

Why Taskmaster S Worst Contestants Are The Show S Real Winners

But if there’s one thing the UK loves more than queuing, it’s an underdog. Or sometimes just someone who isn’t afraid to admit they simply can’t be arsed. And in many ways it’s the contestants’ biggest, most epic failures that make some of the show’s best moments. So it’s lucky that for every series of Taskmaster there seems to be one last-place contestant trailing miles behind the rest, who seems hopelessly inept, or whose mind just isn’t wired for little Alex Horne’s tricksy little tasks....

Why Xbox Turned Down The Opportunity To Make Exclusive Marvel Games

Last year, video game journalist Steven L. Kent published Volume 2 of The Ultimate History of Video Games. As part of his research, he got to interview Marvel’s Vice President of Games, Jay Ong, and the founder and CEO of Insomniac Games, Ted Price. Their quotes (transcribed to ResetEra by the user Nightengale) seemingly revealed why Insomniac was granted the chance to make their dream Spider-Man game in the first place and how things almost went in a very different direction....

Will The New Darkwing Duck Reboot Be In Continuity With Ducktales

But wait, didn’t they already reboot Darkwing Duck recently? In the modern series of DuckTales, the character of Darkwing was slowly introduced over the shows three seasons before recently getting his own special episode, ‘Let’s Get Dangerous!’ This episode introduced a rebooted version of original Darkwing Duck character Gosalyn Mallard and set the stage for more adventures featuring the two alongside DuckTales main cast member Launchpad. So is this new reboot in development a spinoff of what we’ve already seen in the new DuckTales, or is it a whole new version of Darkwing Duck?...

Worst Roommate Ever Is A Waste Of A Good Title

Whether you get your TV via streaming, cable, or jerry-rigging a digital antenna, the medium is filled with tales of killers and the people they kill. This is not a new trend as the act of taking a life has understandably captivated human beings for as long as there have been human beings. The only difference in the modern TV era is the sheer scale of our true crime fascination....

Xbox Series X Vs Ps5 Which Features Set Each Console Apart

However, a closer look at both consoles reveals just how different these machines truly are. Granted, neither the Xbox Series X nor PlayStation 5 is quite as “out there” as the Nintendo Switch in terms of functionality, but each offers a suite of features that are unique to them. Some of these features, such as the differences in the advanced audio technology each console uses, may ultimately prove to be little more than different ways to wrap the same gift, but others are so unique to either the XSX or PS5 that they could prove to be one console’s advantage over the other....

Y The Last Man Ampersand The Monkey Is Tv S Next Little Buddy

The television landscape must always have a little buddy. You know what I’m talking about. At any given moment, at least one show must play host to a cuddly little critter – whether that be Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda on The Mandalorian, Alligator Loki on Loki, or really any Pokémon on Pokémon (except for Lickitung, that absolute freak). Now, thankfully, TV’s next little buddy has arrived and it’s one of the fall season’s unlikeliest series: Y: The Last Man....
