Detective Pikachu Pokemon Easter Eggs And Reference Guide

You’re forgiven if you thought that Detective Pikachu was just one big joke when it was first announced, but now that the movie is finally here, we can confirm that Detective Pikachu is much more than a questionable cash-in on one of the biggest video game franchises of all-time. Yes, Detective Pikachu is a solid standalone movie, but it best serves as a tribute to the wonderful world of Pokemon as well as the fans who helped turn a little Game Boy game into a phenomenon the likes of which nobody had ever quite seen before....

Dexter Revival Will Have No Resemblance To Original Finale

Phillips, who was in charge of the better first half of the Miami-set crime drama, says that the revival won’t exactly “undo” what happened at the end of Season 8, but instead “basically start from scratch.” “We want this to not be Dexter season nine,” Phillips informed THR on its Top 5 podcast via NME. “10 years, or however many years, have passed by the time this will air, and the show will reflect that time passage....

Doctor Strange 2 And More Mcu Movies Delayed What Do Those Release Date Shifts Really Mean

As a result, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness moves from March 25, 2022 to May 6, 2022, Thor: Love and Thunder moves off that May date to July 8, 2022, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is bumped from that July berth to November 11, 2022. That means The Marvels (aka Captain Marvel 2) exits November 11 and 2022 entirely, landing on February 17, 2023. The rest of Marvel’s 2023 releases follow suit, with The Marvels now pushing Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to July 28, and an untitled Marvel movie (most likely Blade, although Fantastic Four is also a possibility) actually moving up a week from November 10 to November 3....

Doctor Who Who Else Has Played Nikola Tesla On Screen

Here’s a jaunt through Tesla’s previous TV and film depictions, noting the historical accuracy or lack thereof in each, and whether or not they exploit the curious fact that Tesla once confessed to having fallen in love with a pigeon… David Bowie in The Prestige ‘The first time I tried to change the world, I was hailed as a visionary. The second time? I was asked politely to retire.’ Historically accurate?...

Does Spider Man Have Room In The Mcu For Harry Osborn

As the main trio of the Sony Pictures-produced Spider-Man MCU films collectively known as the Homecoming Trilogy, Holland’s Peter Parker, Zendaya’s Michelle Jones/MJ and Batalon’s Ned Leeds conjure a youthful, energetic dynamic that widely resonates with audiences. Yet, said dynamic is essentially a pastiche of personalities adapted from various iterations of Peter’s circle of friends in the annals of Marvel Comics. Indeed, an attempt to contrast the Holland-starring films from the previous two franchises saw the seemingly-obligatory component of Harry Osborn omitted....

Does Star Trek Prodigy Work For More Than Just Kids

It’s easy as an adult to look at the cast of Prodigy and roll your eyes. They’re mostly teens, you’ve got Dal, the hot headed leader, Rok-Tahk, a big rock alien with a young girl voice, and Murf, an adorable mascot character who speaks in unintelligible blurps. The crew even has a babysitter in the form of the Janeway hologram. Also, the show employs fart gags every so often, which for whatever reason has become the universal sign of a show meant for kids....

Ducktales Season 3 Episode 11 Review The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades

The juxtaposition of the fountain of youth with a spring break hotel is sheer elegance in its simplicity. It’s a perfect spin on a story that’s been told thousands of times but done in a way that fits right at home with the new DuckTales. It takes an old concept and breathes new life into it… which is fitting for the plot of this episode. I love the bait and switch of making you think Scrooge and Goldie are doing to the fountain of youth only for Louie to casually discover what’s really going on back at the hotel....

Dune Part Two Greenlit As Studios Back Away From Hybrid Streaming Releases

The news comes after Villeneuve’s first Dune picture (or “Dune: Part One” as the title card sneakily revealed in the finished film) became WB’s biggest opening weekend since the COVID-19 pandemic began, grossing $41 million in its first three days. That number, while obviously more muted than other recent blockbuster openings this month, was achieved despite the film also premiering day-and-date on HBO Max’s streaming service in North America. When coupled with the film already having grossed more than $220 million worldwide, Dune is a qualified success in the pandemic era, one which is apparently also serving HBO Max’s subscription model well....

Dune What Happens Next

House Atreides has fallen. That’s where we leave things at the end of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (or Dune Part One as the film waits until the opening title card to reveal). Oscar Isaac’s Duke Leto lies dead, murdered by his own hand with a poison capsule that also killed the top lieutenants of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), but which left the grotesque fiend still breathing. Meanwhile Leto’s heir, our dear Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), has gone to ground, disappearing into the desert with his mother, the Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson)....

Edgar Wright On Ghosts Musicals And Last Night In Soho

“I have this recurring time travel fantasy about the idea of going back,” Wright says with the air of a confession. “But I think it’s always that thing, this nagging fear that it’s probably a really bad idea.” It’s a surprising admission for a filmmaker who has spent his career often looking to the past in order to find something new and clever to say about our present. After all, Wright’s breakthrough was directing the game-changing British sitcom Spaced, which featured so many references and nods to the movies he loved that the show’s DVD introduced the “Homage-o-Meter” bonus feature....

Elden Ring Where To Find Every Legendary Weapon

Much like Elden Ring‘s collection of Legendary spells, the game’s Legendary weapons are rarely as impressive as you would assume they must be. It’s nice that Elden Ring allows you to turn any weapon into a viable late-game option, but it’s still a little odd that many Legendary weapons are only technically deserving of that impressive distinction. Still, there’s at least one Legendary weapon in the game that has to be on any shortlist of the most powerful Elden Ring weapons regardless of your preferred playstyle....

Every Square Enix Franchise Now Owned By Embracer Group

Of course, this transaction raises obvious questions about what games Embracer Group actually gets out of the deal. As is often the case with these kinds of deals, the answers to those questions aren’t as straightforward as you might think. Obviously, Square Enix franchises such as Final Fantasy were never on the table, and the announcement also states that Square Enix will retain ownership of Western-developed games such as Just Cause, Outriders, and Life is Strange....

Examining The Disney Leak Revealing A Black Widow Streaming Announcement And Mcu Series Release Dates

The video, the authenticity of which has not been substantiated, arrived after it was noted that streaming content would become Disney’s primary focus. It’s packed with future Disney+ release dates, including that of MCU spinoff series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier apparently set for a weekly rollout from August 13, and a “premier access” streaming date for Marvel’s delayed standalone Black Widow movie on April 16. Crucially, it also unveils a plan to launch an 18+ component that would include the likes of Deadpool, Logan, and other Fox acquisitions that Disney are farming out to Hulu....

Fargo Season 4 Episode 10 Review Happy

Fargo Season 4 Episode 10 Fargo did itself a disservice with last week’s episode. By successfully presenting a small-scale, mostly self-contained story, it’s made this season’s sprawl and lack of focus more obvious. “Happy” is the penultimate episode of the season which means the season’s many threads need to start coalescing or ending, but unfortunately this doesn’t happen particularly gracefully. The timing on many of the episode’s plot points, like the introduction of the titular character Happy and Ethelrida’s reintroduction into the main story, feel like they are occurring far too late to make a significant impact....

For Supernatural Fans The Destiel Development Is Both Too Little Too Late

For Supernatural, it’s a tale as old as time: Things are chaotic with no solution in sight and an apocalypse on the horizon. When everything seems hopeless, a path emerges, one where sacrifice is the only solution. Supernatural is known for this and we have watched on for years as Dean, Sam, and Cas sacrificed for each other and ultimately come out on top despite things looking grim. This time, Supernatural went a little too far with Castiel’s sacrifice for Dean and the rest of the SPN Family....

Gangs Of London Review Sky S Crime Thriller Series Is A Powerhouse

Gangs Of London is about organised crime in the capital, for sure, but it’s a million miles from your average geezer-pleaser. You don’t have to have any interest whatsoever in gangsters to get hooked on Gangs Of London. But you do have to have a strong stomach for violence. A nine-episode series, the pilot is feature-length and directed by the show’s co-creator (with Matt Flannery) Gareth Evans, the Welsh director behind The Raid films which brought the Indonesian martial art pencak silat to Western audiences....

And when we do, we see that the doughnut hole has a hole in its center – it is not a doughnut hole at all but a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our doughnut is not whole at all!” No matter which part of the world you come from, you probably said those words with the thick drawl of the American South....

I am not your father,” Thomas Durant Five seasons later, the series Hell On Wheels, has come to satisfying and bittersweet end with the completion of The Transcontinental Railroad. Viewers have loved, hated, feared and admired an assortment of characters, some of who are based on real people. The final episode began in a tense, celebratory mood with Huntington and Durant still at odds with each other....
