Against All Odds, Medusa’s Hair Looks Absolutely Amazing in the Newest Inhumans Trailer

By now, you’ve seen it. That stiff, lifeless red menace that’s come to symbolize basically everything there is to be concerned about regarding Marvel and ABC’s upcoming Inhumans tv series. I’m talking, of course, about Medusa’s hair. Here’s the crazy thing, though: in the show’s latest trailer? It. Looks. Good. It would be entirely understandable…

For Some Reason, Marvel Pretty Much Just Gave Away How Secret Empire Ends

It feels like it’s been years since we first saw Steve Rogers shove Jack Flagg out of a jet before uttering “hail Hydra” and announcing to the world that he was, essentially, a newly-minted supervillain. Today, ahead of Secret Empire’s conclusion on Wednesday, Marvel kinda spoiled how the event’s gonna end. As Secret Empire has…

First Photo From Ant-Man and The Wasp Is of Hope Van Dyne Looking Badass In a Brand New Wasp Suit

One of the last things we saw in the original Ant-Man film from 2015 was the Wasp suit that Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) was always destined to wear. Today, we got our first look at the suit she’ll don in next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp and it’s a liiiiitle bit different. The Wasp…

Actor Ed Skrein Is Leaving the Hellboy Reboot Amid Accusations of Whitewashing

All The Questions Game of Thrones’ Final Season Still Needs to Answer

With just one season of Game of Thrones left to go, there are still a number of burning questions about the future of the Seven Kingdoms that last night’s season finale left unanswered. Let’s not mince words here: season seven was more focused on getting things into their proper places in anticipation of the series’…

Marvel’s Ultimates² Just Ended With an Amazing Reunion and a New Destiny for Galactus

From its very first issue, Marvel’s Ultimates² has reveled in being deeply committed to the sort of old-school super-science that defined comic books like The Fantastic Four. In its final issue, the team finally managed to save the multiverse and make some wild new friends along the way. The final story arc of Ultimates² has…

This 12-Second Clip From Netflix’s Death Note Is Pretty Much All You Need To See

If you’re one of the people with (valid) concerns about Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note, then today’s your lucky day.

In Black Mask’s America’s Sweetheart, the Strongest Person in the World Is a Brave Black Girl

Black Mask Studios’ BLACK imagines a world in which black people and only black people begin to suddenly manifest super abilities, setting off a series of events that forces its characters and readers to reflect on the real-world anti-black racism that’s alive and well in our country. BLACK engages in some very heavy subject matter…

At This Point, It Seems Like Warner Brothers Is Trying to Ruin DC’s Cinematic Universe

Though Warner Brothers and DC were slow to begin building their own shared cinematic universe in a fashion similar to Marvel’s, there was no reason to believe that they wouldn’t be able to pull it off successfully in their own time. Looking at the current state of things, though, that’s becoming increasingly difficult to believe.…

Patty Jenkins Calls Out James Cameron’s ‘Inability to Understand What Wonder Woman Is’

Yesterday, The Guardian published an interview with director James Cameron in which he said that Patty Jenkins’ take on Wonder Woman was an “objectified icon” and that the widespread critical acclaim for the character’s film has been “misguided.” Late last night, Jenkins took to Twitter with the perfect response. Rather than spelling out her thoughts…

Surely Someone Wants to Watch Game of Thrones‘ Mountain Beat Katy Perry At Basketball

What exists at the very center of the Venn diagram between Katy Perry’s feud with Taylor Swift, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, and GLOW? Perry’s new music video for her song “Swish Swish,” that’s what. I’m sure there’s some kind of plot you’re supposed to pick up on here, but I’m struggling to find it.…

The Cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Had Way Too Much Fun on Set

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 cast and crew had an inordinate amount of fun with one another working on the film. How are you supposed to make a movie in which a talking raccoon helps blow up a living planet if you’re not laughing…

This Anime-Inspired SpongeBob SquarePants Opening is a Thing of Beauty

SpongeBob SquarePants’s original theme song and opening sequence are a big part of the show’s long-lasting success. They’re catchy, fun, and explain the basic premise of the show every episode while somehow managing not to become too annoying. The only thing that could make them better? An anime makeover. Last night, US-based animator Narmak uploaded…

The First Order’s Latest Insane Vehicles From The Last Jedi Resemble a Gorilla and a Deadly Slice of Pizza

One of the best parts of returning to the galaxy far, far away in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was finally getting a chance to see how a new generation of filmmakers would approach the franchise’s vehicles and technology.

Calexit Is a Bloody, Dystopian Vision of Trump’s America and the People Bold Enough To Resist It

Less than a year into his presidency, Donald Trump has repeatedly defended white supremacists and self-identified Nazis, toyed with the idea of going to war with North Korea, and stood by cluelessly as the Republican congress fought to rob millions of Americans of their healthcare. Objectively, these are dark times. When we talk about how…

Folks, we need to have a talk about the Batman Who Laughs and his creepy-ass Robins and how I’m never sleeping again. Part of what’s so…

The Defenders’ Best Storytelling Trick Doesn’t Use Any Words at All

The Defenders is at its very best when it lets go of whatever designs it had on being a serious prestige drama and embraces the fact that it’s a pulpy, cape procedural about a bunch of toughs taking on a supernatural crime syndicate. The Defenders knows that it’s a comic book show and it’s stronger…
