Moon Knight The Secret Of Jake Lockley

Now that Moon Knight has ended its premiere season (with no word yet on whether there will be a second one), the show finished off with a mid-credits sequence that introduced a personality long awaited by diehard fans of the comics on which the show is based: Jake Lockley, the hidden third personality (also played, of course, by Oscar Isaac) that shares the body of Marc Spector along with Spector himself and Steven Grant....

Moon Knight Writer Thought Kit Harington Appearance Would Frustrate Marvel Fans

As Marvel Studios moves into their darker and more supernaturally-inclined Phase 4, Moon Knight has become the first character to test the water of fan reception. His Disney+ show, which wrapped its six-episode run earlier this month, divided audiences, many of whom were surprised to find that the series didn’t really connect to the wider MCU. But since the finale dropped, the creators of the show have been talking about various ways they did try to insert various MCU characters, and in a new interview with Comicbook head writer Jeremy Slater has confirmed that Kit Harington’s Eternals character Dane Whitman was in the mix at one point....

Muppets Now Episode 4 Review Sleep Mode

Muppets Now Episode 4 I should have seen the warning signs when I found out that Muppets Now was produced in six days. It’s easy to crank out several episodes so quickly when you’re filming the same segment over and over again in one go. The farther the show goes, the more annoying the lack of variety is. As “Sleep Mode” is the fourth episode of Muppets Now, that means that there have been sixteen total segments so far....

My Hero Academia Does Its Best Attack On Titan Impression

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 8 “I’ve driven off the flies.” Early on in My Hero Academia‘s run there were endless exercises orchestrated by U.A. High that forced these prospective hero students to learn how to work together and troubleshoot through scenarios where the danger at hand requires not just a hero, but a team of heroes. At the time, these training exercises were criticized as filler–albeit entertaining filler–that allow the characters to show off their skills, but still reset the slate by the time that the credits roll....

New Pokemon Snap Trades Blockbuster Printing Stations For Social Media

Based on the reactions to an extended preview of New Pokémon Snap that Nintendo recently showcased, it seems that their plan is to recapture the magic of Pokémon Snap by not changing many of the things that made the original title work while introducing at least one major new concept that brings New Pokémon Snap into the social media age without forcing a square peg into a round hole. In many of the ways that matter most, New Pokémon Snap appears to be Pokémon Snap....

New Star Wars Games In Development Release Windows Trailers And First Details

Several years ago, EA held the exclusive rights to produce Star Wars video games, which resulted in the beloved Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the unexpected Star Wars Squadrons, and the controversial Star Wars Battlefront II. After EA lost that exclusivity, you didn’t need a connection to the Force to predict the flood of new Star Wars games, many of which are now in development. Currently, eight different Star Wars titles are in the works (that we know of):...

Old M Night Shyamalan S Twist Ending Explained

Fans who go to the cinema for that will not be disappointed. Inspired by the graphic novel Sandcastle, by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters, Old sees a family on a dream holiday get taken to a secluded private beach which they discover is causing them to age very rapidly....

One Of The Biggest Captain America Civil War Moments Almost Didn T Happen

The Story of Marvel Studios outlines the discussion behind the film (via CBR), which culminated into a behind-the-scenes stand-off that saw directors the Russo brothers, co-scriptwriter Stephen McFeely, and Kevin Feige on one side, and the Marvel Creative Committee—which consisted of Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter, president Alan Fine, Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis, Marvel Comics publisher Dan Buckley, and Marvel Entertainment CCO Joe Quesada—on the other. “We had to do a draft where they had a fight in a submarine base with five super soldiers,” says McFeely in the book, explaining that the Marvel Creative Committee wanted the film to end with Steve and Tony teaming up to to battle the other super soldiers in Hydra’s Siberian facility....

Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Episode 6 Review Performance Review

Only Murders in the Building Season 2 Episode 6 As we start the second half of the season 2, we still aren’t any closer to finding out who Bunny’s killer is. Only Murders in the Building loves to stretch the mystery out and give you as many seemingly-random clues as possible, but this second season seems to be taking that strategy even further than the first. Each episode seems more like a stand-alone snippet into the lives of these intriguing characters, and the writers’ desire to combine bit roles from the show’s past along with introducing new ones makes for somewhat of an overwhelming viewing experience....

Peaky Blinders Season 6 Episode 1 Review Black Day

What better tribute could Peaky Blinders pay to the character of Aunt Polly – and to the equally redoubtable Helen McCrory – than birdsong and fire and a portrait titled “Fuck Them All”? A portrait the eyes of which lingered in the sky at the funeral of the gypsy queen, watching over the sorry lot of them. The untimely death of McCrory from illness during the Covid-rescheduled production period necessitated a rewrite in which her character became a casualty of Tommy’s ambition....

Pistol Maisie Williams Jordan Was A Living Work Of Art

The entire career of the Sex Pistols was a premeditated swindle malignantly perpetuated by their manager Malcolm McLaren (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), who similarly plotted the downfall of the rising proto-punk outfit The New York Dolls. He schemed the chaotic caper at 430 King’s Road, the boutique SEX, co-owned by the truly revolutionary Vivienne Westwood (Talulah Riley), after the artful dodging Jones tried to make off with the wrong pants. In the series, he is punished by having to endure fashion lessons by Chrissie Hynde (Sydney Chandler), a songwriting guitarist who has not yet founded The Pretenders....

Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Episode 13 Review Finders Keepers

In watching ‘Finders Keepers’ I was struck by how normal everything seemed. I don’t mean this is a normal episode because it clearly isn’t, but how all the Rangers acted around each other. Sure there was a little surprise from the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team meeting the Dino Charge Rangers but it was mostly matter a fact. There’s a problem and they need to team-up to solve it! I wish more teams were able to interact this way....

Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Episode 20 Review Crunch Time

It’s crunch time for Power Rangers Beast Morphers and, as I wrote about last week, when the major plot beats go down? Beast Morphers shows up with the energy it needed! From the start the episode is filled with tension. We know something is up with Blaze and from that first sneer it’s easy to guess it’s the evil Blaze. That doesn’t ruin the tension though because even though we know it’s not the real one the Rangers don’t....

Prime Video S Upload Can T Stop Predicting The Future

“There’s a lot of fun/tortious/actionable things like that that pop up,” Upload creator Greg Daniels says of the Horizon/Facebook naming coincidence. Daniels, who also created other comedy hits like The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Netflix’s current Space Force, is used to these kinds of accidental shout outs to Upload from real life. Though the show is set in 2034, technological advances frequently catch up faster than its creator or actors would ever expect....

It’s a bit of an unusual setup, but this is the kind of thing you’ll probably need to get used to in the age of hardware shortages and scalpers. Here’s where the bad news starts....

Resident Alien S Et Infant Makes A Case For Baby Yoda Status

Though Resident Alien introduced an alien baby earlier this spring before the series went on its midseason hiatus and dropped an even bigger twist several episodes ago by revealing the child is Harry’s literal offspring (thanks, time travel!), neither our titular alien nor the show he stars in has wanted to look too closely at what that truly means. We had a whole episode about parenthood that focused on virtually every character but Harry, and he honestly hasn’t seemed to care all that much about the fact that his child has literally been kidnapped by a team of black ops government soldiers....

Resident Evil Village Was Originally Even More Of An Action Game

In a new video called The Making of Resident Evil Village: The Internal Struggle, QA Manager Shutaro Kobayashi reveals that his early reaction to the game was…not great. “I remember having a really strong negative reaction,” Kobayashi says of his time with one of Village‘s later builds. “The game’s content was completely divorced from what the development team had thought they had made.” Ouch. So what was the problem that drew such blunt criticism?...
