And Now Star Trek: Discovery Has Lost Its Soul

Let’s talk about Captain Lorca, Ash Tyler, Harcourt Fenton Mudd, and the moral center of Star Trek. I can’t believe I’m about to defend Harry Mudd. Goddammit, Discovery.

In the Newest Black Panther Trailer, Wakanda Is an Afrofuturist Wonderland

The craziest things about the Black Panther hype is that we haven’t actually seen a proper trailer yet. Everything up until now has technically been from sizzle reels and teasers. The first official trailer, though? It’s going to blow your mind. One of the more interesting things about Marvel’s cinematic universe is that the Black…

The Han Solo Movie is Bringing A Surprising Pair of Characters into the New Canon

When Disney wiped the Star Wars canon clean, they meant it, and since then old characters, ideas, and settings have been introduced only slowly. But a couple of tweets from yesterday suggest that the newest addition is, well, not one anybody suspected. Yesterday on Twitter, Ron Howard tweeted a picture of two men in Imperial…

The X-Men’s Next Team Up Will Be With Venom Of All People

X-Men and Inhumans. X-Men and Avengers. Crossovers are an obvious fit for the ragtag band of mutants. But I can’t say I’ve ever seen this one before.

This Animated Short’s Pastoral Beauty is a Perfect Respite

“Fox and the Whale” is a brief animated film about a fantastical meeting between two creatures from different parts of the natural world. It’s the perfect breather after a long week. Every moment of this short, created by Robin Joseph and Kim Leow, floored me. Its oceanic pastoral setting is built with wonderful, slow-moving tableau,…
