Werewolf By Night The Dark History Of The Bloodstones

If you’ve been watching She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, you know that the MCU likes to dig deep into the decades-long backlog of Marvel Comics to find weird and obscure characters, including Mr. Immortal, El Aguila, and Porcupine. The upcoming Halloween special Werewolf by Night seems like a continuation of that approach, pushing lesser-known wolfman character Jack Russell to the forefront. But while Russell is certainly a C-list Marvel hero, at least he headlined his own comic for a while in the 1970s....

What If Episode 4 Review Doctor Strange Loses His Heart

Marvel’s What If? Episode 4 What If…? episode four is here. While many fans were likely expecting to see Captain Carter show up as soon as they realized it was a Doctor Strange story, that is not the case. Instead, we get a romantic tragedy which pits two versions of Stephen against each other in order to save the woman that they love. It’s a cosmic ride through Strange’s own arrogance that has absolutely world ending consequences....

What Is A Mayor Of Kingstown Anyway

“When you pass the guard towers when you’re five and six, you think it’s Disneyland,” Dillon told Den of Geek and other outlets. “And your folks have to tell you ‘That’s not Disneyland.’” A maximum security prison is very much not Disneyland. Dillon’s experiences beneath those towers, however, inspired a TV concept that is set to stream on one of Disney’s direct streaming competitors, Paramount+. Mayor of Kingstown was created by Dillon and frequent collaborator Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone)....

What We Do In The Shadows Season 4 Becomes A Whole New Show

What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 Episode 8 After straying from the core mockumentary premise of the series, What We Do in the Shadows’ season 4 episode 8, “Go Flip Yourself,” doubles down on it as the worlds of vampire reality TV and human home improvement collide. This union has been a long time coming, as Laszlo (Matt Berry) is quite the fan of flipping shows, and the titular fixer-upper program is his long-time obsession....

When Exorcist Knockoffs Go Wrong The Manitou

In a world that made sense, in a world in which reason was still a factor, it seems to me this would be the time to start looking for a new doctor. But that’s not the case here, where we’re dealing with a world—from an audience and character perspective alike—that makes less and less sense the deeper we look into it. The hard thing to keep in mind is that it’s a world in which the rules no longer apply, and deliberately so....

Why Grand Theft Auto 3 Deserves A Remake

“In honor of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the genre-defining Grand Theft Auto III, we’ll have even more fun surprises to share — including some specifically for GTA Online players.”While recent years have taught us to not get our hopes up in regards to impending GTA announcements (and GTA Online players may end up getting the bulk of any new content), players can’t help but hold out hope for some kind of new GTA release, even if it’s only the rumored remaster of GTA 3 that’s been floating around for the last few years....

Why The Harry Potter Film Epilogue Never Stood A Chance

This “19 years later” segment closes the final Harry Potter book with Harry and company at King’s Cross, sending their own children to Hogwarts. In theory, it provides closure, a happy ending for Harry, and the satisfaction of continuity with another generation of witches and wizards off to school. In practice, it was an absolute beast to film. For one, no one knew the best approach to handle the hair or the makeup required to age the 20-something cast into believable 39-year-old parents of 11-year-olds....

Why The Woman In The Window Fails To Channel Alfred Hitchcock

Joe Wright’s The Woman in the Window is not shy about its Hitchcockian influence. It’s there in both subtle and overt ways from the very first scene. During one of the film’s opening shots, the camera pans around Amy Adams’ ridiculously spacious New York City brownstone and passes a television screen that is inexplicably playing the ending to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) in slow-motion, with Jimmy Stewart wrestling against the grip of an out-of-frame Raymond Burr....

Will The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Season 2 Happen

For the curious amongst us, gleaning information from Marvel about a second season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier these last few months has pretty much meant running into a series of brick walls. Ask anyone involved about the future of the show, which examines the legacy of Captain America and super soldiers through the lens of the latest man to wield the shield, Sam Wilson, and you’d get the verbal equivalent of a shrug....

Winter 2021 Tv Preview

2021 will hopefully come along with some good news (though admittedly early signs aren’t looking great on that front). At the very least, however, it should come along with some interesting TV options. Due to COVID-19 production delays, there perhaps aren’t as many confirmed release dates for early 2021 as we’ve seen in years’ past. Still, there are plenty of exciting new and returning TV shows to keep you occupied throughout the chilly season....

X Men 97 Is Making One Major Change To The Classic Animated Series Team

At first glance, X-Men ’97 seems like something that only ’90s kids will understand. The upcoming Disney+ show continues the classic cartoon series X-Men, which originally aired on Fox from 1992-1997. But despite featuring costumes and a lineup that debuted in the pages of early ’90s X-Men comics, the series owes its greatest debt to the comics Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson wrote in the ’70s and ’80s. Over five seasons, the X-Men animated series adapted some of the most beloved stories of those decades, including “Days of Future Past” and “The Dark Phoenix Saga....

Young Justice Season 3 Episode 10 Review Exceptional Human Beings

Young Justice Outsiders Episode 10 It’s amazing how much “Exceptional Human Beings” does in 22 minutes without doing a single thing wrong. Or even “not good enough to be free of complaint.” I went back and watched parts of the episode a second time to find something to critique and I got nothing. That is astonishing. I live to complain. I have an argument with family that spans a literal generation about the noise that TIE fighters make that is rooted in the now-discarded Star Wars EU, but I can’t find anything wrong with really either of the last two episodes of Young Justice: Outsiders....

Young Justice Season 4 Episodes 1 And 2 Review Phantoms Starts Strong

Young Justice Season 4 Episodes 1 and 2 Jeez, it’s been a long time. Young Justice: Phantoms picks up essentially where Outsiders left off, but it’s been a little over two years since the last episode came out, and…uh…a lot has happened since then. You know. Out there. So it was a little jarring to be dropped in the same spot as if no time had passed. And then Young Justice flashed the Legion of Super-Heroes flight rings at me, everything came rushing back, and it was all better....

10 Injustice Characters The Dc Animated Movie Needs To Get Right

Ever since its release in 2013, the Injustice franchise has not only become a staple of NetherRealm’s roster, but the comic spinoffs have made it a beloved part of the DC multiverse. The plot revolves around a reality where the Joker was able to mess with Superman so badly that the Man of Steel gradually became a mass-murdering dictator, with the support of several members of the Justice League. Left without any other option, Batman brought in counterparts of the Justice League from the “mainstream” universe to help him fight a civil war against his former friend....

11 Actors Who Could Be The Next James Bond

Hence the question now becomes not if Bond shall return—or if Bond should have a spin-off, as we considered here—but rather who should don the tux next? Well, we have some ideas, as does the internet, and we’ll get into each of them below. *Editor’s note: James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has already said, “[Bond] can be of any color, but he is male.” We have taken those parameters into our considerations....

7Fates Chakho Review How Do The Webtoon Web Novel Compare

While comics are often thought of as a print medium, they don’t have to be. These days, some of the most popular comic stories in the world are entirely digital, created for and accessed via the web. WEBTOON, a Korea-based mobile platform for web-based comics, is the most-read comic book publisher in the world (it also happened to play host to Den of Geek’s best comic of 2021). The success of the Naver-owned company is only poised to grow with the growth of its “Super Casting” project, a branded name for the partnership Naver’s WEBTOON has struck with major entertainment companies like DC Comics and HYBE, the parent company of BTS’ BigHit Entertainment....

A Discovery Of Witches Season 2 Review Spoiler Free Is The Magic Still Strong

Season two finds our protagonists witch Diana (Teresa Palmer) and vampire Matthew (Matthew Goode) hiding in time. Just beginning to get a handle on her considerable powers, Diana has discovered she’s a ‘timewalker’ and transported her and Matthew back to Elizabethan era London where the two plan to search for The Book Of Life, or Ashmole 782, the ancient text which is said to contain the secrets of witches, vampires and demons and may help to explain why these creatures’ power is diminished in the modern day (the major concern of season one)....

After Yang, the second full-length movie from director Kogonada (after his acclaimed 2017 feature debut, the John Cho-starring Columbus) addresses these questions in far more emotional and existential terms. Set in the not-too-distant future in an unnamed city, with hints of some kind of past catastrophe in the background, the story follows a man named Jake (Colin Farrell) as he desperately attempts to get his little daughter’s android companion, Yang (Justin H....

Alexander Skarsgard True Blood Paved Way For The Northman

Yet when we sat down to chat with Skarsgård about The Northman, we couldn’t help but note that this was hardly the first time he’s played a Viking or even “the Northman.” After all, for seven seasons he portrayed Eric Northman, an ancient Viking-turned-modern vampire, on HBO’s True Blood. And as the kernel of the idea of The Northman belonged to Skarsgård—who floated the prospect of a Viking movie to Eggers years ago—we were curious if he was already thinking about The Northman when he first played Eric Northman on True Blood....
