Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 28 “I’ll kill them all…I will wipe every one of them off the face of this world until none of them remain.” The primary source of tension across Attack on Titan’s final season is what’s really going on in Eren’s mind. Some fans of Attack on Titan have been unable to reconcile with the reality that Eren Jaeger is about to finish his Lelouch Lamperouge/Walter White-level evolution from plucky protagonist into ultimate evil....

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 6 “A life is a life” Attack on Titan straddles many genres, but its premiere episode embraces horror tropes more than anything else. That first episode is scary, not just when the Titans first appear, but with the manner in which they terrorize Shiganshina District and devour so much of their population. It’s a destabilizing and overwhelming experience and the beginning of “The War Hammer Titan” doesn’t only remember the anime’s horror roots, but it delivers carnage that’s even more frightening than what’s seen in Attack on Titan’s first episode....

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 7 “These are the demons of Paradis Island…” Who are the good guys in this war again? Attack on Titan has been asking this question all season, but it’s beautifully articulated now that a full-fledged war is in swing between Marley’s best and the “Eldian Devils.” The previous episode begins this conflict, but every single character that the anime has carefully built over these four seasons comes into combat with each other in “Assault” and it’s just fantastic....

For our money, it’s the best action scene in a film stuffed to the gills with kaleidoscopic showstoppers. At the top of the third act, the luxuriantly paced Avatar: The Way of Water finally pivots away from its world-building wonders and back toward the plot. In the broadest possible strokes (which nonetheless remain depressingly plausible), it’s revealed that human capitalists have made a lucrative discovery: Pandora’s tulkuns (large whale-like creatures) contain a substance in their brains that is beneficial to the most wealthy of earthlings....

In Netflix’s Barbarians, Arminius of the Cheroski and Marbod (or Maroboduus if you’re feeling adventurous) of the Macromanni are portrayed as frenemies bordering on enemies whose mutual respect and ill-treatment at the hands of the Romans force them into a working alliance. In reality, the two men had a more distant and hostile relationship. In their later years, long after the Romans had abandoned their expansionist ambitions in Germania, the two men fought each other with weary abandon, their dynastic dreams propelling their thirst for blood....

It’s been a long time since TV fans got a dose of Barry. Like many other series, the excellent HBO dark comedy about a Midwestern hitman who moves to L.A. and catches the acting bug experienced delays due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to star D’Arcy Carden, the cast had scripts ready and was assembling to table-read mere weeks before the entertainment industry shut down in early 2020. With the extra time off, the shows’ creators and producers Bill Hader (who also stars as the titular hitman) and Alec Berg fine tuned their scripts, dotting every “I”, crossing every “T” and creating a more subtle, efficient, and streamlined season of television....

Horror can come from anywhere: an unfamiliar European hostel, a remote sleepaway camp in the woods or even just in the comfy confines of the human brain. Every now and then it can be fun to reconnect with that child-like portion of our minds that is truly susceptible to irrational fear. The best way is to merely just hear a good scary story. But perhaps the best place to find horror is on your friendly neighborhood Hulu....

On the other side of the coin, the town of Schitt’s Creek has evolved from nasty stereotype to welcoming home… for most of the characters, at least. With the beloved series now wrapped, we’re putting on some Rose-colored glasses to remember 14 of the best episodes—from country hijinks to earworms to unprecedented (and joyous) LGBTQ+ representation. Because this series’ strongest point—and a huge determiner in favorite episodes—concerns the Rose family’s personal arcs, some of this list will tend toward the spoilery....

Almost serendipitously, Den of Geek was there to see this inflection point after launching in 2007, as well as every step of the genre’s rapid expansion since. Over the years, capes and cowls have graduated from the fitful highs and lows of the mid-2000s to near total market dominance by the end of the last decade. And for that reason, everyone has their favorites—the movies we deem to be a cut above what’s come before or since....

All of these nods to the past lives of Albuquerque’s underbelly have been well-timed and perfectly executed. It allowed us to glean a clearer picture of the cartel world while not distracting from the main plot. That’s why some fans were equal parts concerned and excited when Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) cameos were announced before the start of the final season. How would the two icons of the previous show, two men who already had their stories told completely, fit into this prequel without coming off as forced?...

The film’s true protagonist is O’Neal, played by LaKeith Stanfield. After getting himself into some hot water, O’Neal is propositioned by FBI agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons) to either infiltrate the Black Panther Party and report back on his findings or face jail time. At first O’Neal seems to luxuriate in the kickbacks he’s given by Mitchell for his intel but he quickly learns how dangerous it is to lead a double life....

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was one of the five original series to debut back on Adult Swim when the programming block was first created. The network has evolved in considerable ways since its inception, but even back then Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was an important series that helped establish the acerbic and dadaist style of humor that continues to define Adult Swim to this day. Now, 20 years after the premiere of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and Adult Swim as a whole, Birdgirl returns to this beloved universe, appropriately enough as Adult Swim heads into a new phase....

Like many JSA members, Atom Smasher is a legacy hero, with ties to both heroes and villains of the past, and he has an interesting relationship with Black Adam in the comics. We spoke with Centineo about bringing Atom Smasher to life and his role in the JSA. When you first started to learn about Atom Smasher, what was the thing that excited you about him the most? NOAH CENTINEO: What I love about Al at this place in his life is that he’s still very naïve....

Netflix has found a lot of success with their recent run of animated series and anime that are centered toward more mature audiences. Blood of Zeus mixes together Greek mythology with Shakespearean melodrama and stunning fight sequences. Powerhouse Animation has meticulously crafted this series that follows Heron, an outcast to Mount Olympus due to his complicated connection to Zeus. Heron immerses himself deeper into the world of Gods, all while a dangerous bid for power grows between God, human, and Demon over Zeus’ role in Olympus....

But don’t call it a spinoff, as star Welliver doesn’t truly categorize it as such. “I shudder to call it a spin-off because it’s really not; it’s just the continuing saga of Harry Bosch,” he told EW. “He’s in a different place, but it’s a continuation… A lot is revealed toward the end of this final season of Bosch — I do air quotes on that, ‘final season’ — which lays the foundation for where we will find these three characters as we open the new show....

To be clear, we are talking about an Alpha, and the purpose of this Alpha was clearly to acquire feedback/data that will help developer Sledgehammer Games tweak Vanguard ahead of its November 5 release date. Indeed, the Vanguard team has already been busy responding to player feedback in order to both acknowledge it and suggest some of the ways that they intend to address early complaints and suggestions. This is in no way a full review of Vanguard or even Champion Hill mode, However, in the interest of providing feedback, I have to say that I did walk away from the Vanguard Alpha with a few initial impressions regarding the game’s new Champion Hill mode and the ways that it showcases both Vanguard’s potential and how far the game still has to go....

The announcement comes at a time of reckoning for Activision Blizzard, which is facing several lawsuits as well as disturbing allegations of sexist and toxic work environment. In the weeks since California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing filed a lawsuit against the company over its workplace culture, many current and former employees have shared their own stories of being harassed or mistreated at the publisher. You can read more on the allegations here....

Released in October of that year, Candyman was a slasher movie with a killer hook – quite literally. A horror movie built around an urban legend claiming that if you say the word “Candyman” five times into a mirror, a murderous spirit with a hook for a hand would appear, with grave consequences for those who summoned him. In a time before the internet and social media, the original Candyman’s lore was enough to spark discussion among curious moviegoers who asked each other: would you say the potentially deadly incantation?...
