More Serialized Stories While it’s likely that Dino Fury’s second season will continue with its mix of light serialization and stand alone stories, if Power Rangers continues to be made for Netflix this could change how the show itself is written. For the past ten years Power Rangers has had to stick to a mostly episodic structure to make it easier for Nickelodeon and broadcasters around the world to air the episodes in whatever order they wanted whenever they wanted....

Akira Toriyama’s totemic anime series, Dragon Ball, has been delivering heightened battle spectacles for more than 35 years. The celebration that’s surrounded the series’ latest saga, Dragon Ball Super, has pushed the property’s popularity to unprecedented heights. Fans of the anime have patiently been waiting since the release of 2018’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly for the series’ next cinematic spectacle. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero presents a revived villain from the series’ past, but the movie finds new strength by sidelining its standard Saiyan heroes and letting Gohan step into the spotlight....

For reference, here’s a transcript of exactly what Kojima said during his pre-recorded appearance during the Xbox/Bethesda Showcase: “Hi everyone, this is Hideo Kojima. Yes, there is a game I have always wanted to make. It’s a completely new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I’ve waited very long for the day when I could finally start to create it. With Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud technology and the change in the industry’s trend, it has now become possible to challenge myself to make this never-before-seen concept....

It is an exquisite final image. Swarmed in a symphony of bees and standing triumphant over his latest victim—a police officer sprawled out in an alleyway’s gutter—Candyman looks joyful. He’s the monster who’s haunted the ruins of what was once Cabrini-Green for more than a hundred years, and the legend who frightened children and caused lovers to cling closer in their rapture, and now he’s at last returned to his flock....

Speaking to The L.A. Times prior to the final run of episodes, series star Bob Odenkirk said: “It’s weird, because it sounds like maybe I’m pitching that Saul becomes this goodhearted, generous, caring person. I can’t tell you where he ends up, but it’s not like he has some revelation of humanity. I think he gets to … I think I’ve said all I can say. But I like where his journey ends....

Why wasn’t T.K. the leader? After all, he had more experience with the Digimon since he was part of the original team in season one. He was much more relaxed, personable, and able to take on problems intelligently instead of stumbling into them face first. On the flipside he did have a dark serious streak thanks to the trauma of his previous adventures but that just adds to the cool factor a leader needs, right?...

At the end of A Quiet Place Part II, things are flipped from how the first movie resolved its terror. A Quiet Place was all about parents protecting their children, even—in the case of alpha male dad John Krasinski—at the cost of their own life. In the sequel, however, we close on the sight of the two oldest children of the Abbott family—deaf and resourceful Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and her dopey younger brother Marcus (Noah Jupe)—finding their courage to step up to protect their mom (Emily Blunt), their new baby sibling, and Emmett (Cillian Murphy), an initially fearful neighbor who gradually regains his own confidence....

After weeks of wondering what happened to the missing heiress-turned-superhero when her plane was shot down (and her body was not found), the third episode of Batwoman Season 2, “Bat Girl Magic,” seemingly ended with confirmation that Kate’s okay—and from an unlikely source. Safiyah (Shivani Ghai), ruler of Mediterranean nation Coryana and a criminal so powerful she makes Alice quake in her pastel Doc Martens, told the leader of the Wonderland Gang that Kate is not only alive, Safiyah is holding her somewhere off-island....

Played by Game of Thrones and 7 Days in Hell actor Kit Harington, the Eternals version of Whitman is portrayed as a pretty regular human in a romantic relationship with Gemma Chan’s thoughtful Eternal, Sersi. But there’s still some doubt over whether Whitman will ever become the Black Knight in the MCU, as he does in the pages of Marvel Comics. In the comics, the Black Knight possesses the Ebony Blade, a sword blessed by Merlin that can protect whoever wields it but can also drive them mad....

Netflix’s Wednesday series is currently holding the number one spot on the streaming service’s top ten list, and has been generally well-received by fans and critics alike since it premiered last week. But unfortunately, even shows that seem to be loved by many have been met with a swift cancellation by Netflix. While we don’t yet know where Wednesday stands and if there will be a season 2 or not, series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar seem hopeful that their series will get to continue....

Until that mid-credits scene, of course, when we see a mysterious robed figure avert disaster in a crowded marketplace. When she turns to the camera, we learn it’s not just Asteria, but a beloved figure in DC and pop culture history, and one who could have implications for the DCEU down the line, too. So let’s get down to it… Carter, of course, is one of the most important actors to play a superhero onscreen, having played Diana Prince across three successful and influential seasons of the Wonder Woman TV series between 1976-79....

Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 8 Oh, to be a fly on the (probably Zoom) wall of the Wynona Earp writers’ room during the brainstorm session about which Halloween costumes each character should wear in this autumnal holiday-themed installment! Reader, they nailed it. Wynonna dresses as feminist hero Britney Spears (compliment of Waverly for both bringing the costume together and knowing that Wynonna would be into it), and Wonder Woman. Doc is bisexual icon Freddie Mercury....

In addition to his frequent collaborations with Adult Swim, Flying Lotus’ music can be heard in everything from The Boondocks, to Grand Theft Auto V, to episodes of Atlanta and Insecure. Flying Lotus approaches art like a wondrous game and the cleansing energy that comes from his music feels like it’s trying to do something important beyond simple entertainment. His most recent music in Netflix‘s anime series Yasuke comes across as the truest distillation of the artist’s talents and passions....

Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 7 Throughout this season, Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan has been preparing his audience for the end. The end of the purple mountains majesty of states like Montana, as they become overdeveloped and lose all their character. The end of the cowboy way of life and ranches across the country that can no longer maintain the life and the land they’ve known, in some cases, for generations. Most poignantly, Sheridan may even be preparing audiences for the end of Yellowstone itself....

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly six years since the last episode of Young Justice aired on Cartoon Network. That’s ten iPhones ago. But enabled by the streaming revolution and DC’s all-media streaming service, DC Universe, producers Brandon Vietti and Weisman started plotting a return for the beloved teen sidekick show over two years ago, and picked up right where they left off. “When we actually got the pickup for season three, we sat down, and we pulled out all the old index cards for the stories we hadn’t gotten to in the first two seasons,” Weisman told us....

Young Justice Season 3 Episode 20 “This Be The Verse” by Philip Larkin has been quoted a couple of times in comics – once that I can remember in Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s The Wicked + The Divine, and once in Multiversity.And now, the famous line (the opener – “They fuck you up, your mum and dad”) has at least been paraphrased by Young Justice in “Quiet Conversations,” an episode that’s almost entirely about the screwed up family dynamics driving about half of the show....

While you can pretty much bet on early versions of a Windows update being at least a bit of a mess, most of them (except for you, Windows 8) typically offer enough new features to justify the growing pains. So far as that goes, you’re probably going to want to give Windows 11 a shot as soon as it’s formally released sometime during the 2021 holiday season. In the meantime, let’s take a look at the 10 Windows 11 features you’d probably love to have right now....

There’s a timeless quality to the best songs of the chiptune era. Granted, some NES songs simply sound better when they’re played by a live orchestra or are being reimagined in some remastered way, but that’s honestly a testament to the longevity of those tunes. Even if you’re not a fan of that classic chiptune style, the best NES soundtracks still featured legitimately great compositions that shine bright in various forms....

That also means that many SNES games retained that arcade-like difficulty that would, in some ways, define over a decade of gaming. While the average SNES game didn’t feature nearly as many of the technical and design hurdles that contributed to some of the most difficult NES games ever made, the console is still the proud home of some of the most enjoyable challenges in video game history. Whether you fondly remember them when you look back on this era or whether they’ve become the star of your worst gaming nightmares, these are the 15 hardest SNES games ever made:...

While you can usually list the business reasons why certain games don’t get sequels, that does little to diminish fans’ desires for more of a particular experience or even a second chance to get things right. In the case of some of these games, fans have been holding their breath for quite a long time. Before we dive into this look at SNES games begging for a sequel, please note that while we will mostly focus on games that never got a sequel, a few of these titles did get underwhelming sequels that missed the mark or otherwise haven’t been revisited in over 20 years....
