Preacher Just Did Something Even Ballsier Than Usual

AMC’s Preacher has never shied away from doing crazy shit. In this season alone we’ve seen the bowels of Hell, Hitler as a nice guy, and a casino headliner who kills himself every night. But last night’s episode, “Sokosha,” did something that feels even bolder: it sidelined the show’s bad guy. That bad guy is…

Giants of the Fashion Industry Pay Tribute to The Incredibles‘ Edna Mode, Style Icon

When it comes to getting your hands on a signature superhero costume—one that people will remember you for—you’ve pretty much got three options. You can DIY it like a young Peter Parker, hire an emotionally-disturbed criminal to make you one like Daredevil, or you can request a meeting with Edna Mode. Though she’s incredibly difficult…

5 Alien First Contacts That Went Really Well… and 5 That Didn’t

For eons, humankind has looked up to the sky and wondered if it was alone. While we still haven’t answered that question just yet, fiction has stepped in to show us what that moment of first contact might look like. Sometimes it has led to a golden age of human space exploration. Sometimes, it brings…

Gucci’s Star Trek-Themed Fashion Reveal Looks Better Than Star Trek: Discovery

You don’t see Gucci mentioned on io9 that often, given the Italian fashion house isn’t really into props or cosplay. But to help introduce its 2017 Fall and Winter fashion campaign, the brand created a short film inspired by the original Star Trek series. It’s wonderful, and we’d happily trade Star Trek: Discovery for a…

Watch 300 Jedi Absolutely Slaughter 60,000 Medieval Soldiers

Thanks to all those Star Wars movies we know the Jedi can barely survive an attack from just a pair of evil Sith lords. But pit a small battalion of 300 lightsaber-wielding Jedi knights against a giant army of 60,000 medieval soldiers armed with only swords, and it’s not even a challenge. https://gizmodo.com/20-t-rexes-fighting-10-000-chickens-is-all-l-ever-wante-1795764972 This latest…

From 2001 to Guardians of the Galaxy, Mondo’s Comic-Con Offerings Were Out of This World

Every year, I make it a point to stop by the Mondo booth at San Diego Comic-Con as often as possible. No one at the entire convention releases as much exciting, vibrant, and exclusive pop culture art over the course of four days—and 2017 was no exception. Here’s everything Mondo released at Comic-Con from Wednesday…

We Know When the Next James Bond Is Coming Out, But Literally Nothing Else About It [Updated]

Today, Eon Productions and MGM sent out a four-sentence press release announcing that the next James Bond movie will hit UK theaters on November 8th, 2019. That’s it. There was literally nothing else. That’s weird… but it’s also telling. For what feels like ages at this point, there have been rumors that the current Bond,…

Which Characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Do You Think Are Secretly Skrulls?

When Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige announced that the Captain Marvel origin film is going to be set in the ‘90s and involve Carol Danvers fighting Skrulls, we were surprised and left with a number of burning questions.

Twitter began to buzz this weekend when reports circulated that comic books were banned from checked luggage leaving San Diego, Cali., the site of Comic-Con. While it’s true those claims were made, the Transportation Security Administration vehemently denies that they’re correct. “The TSA has no such ban,” Lorie Dankers, a TSA spokeswoman, told Gizmodo. “If…

The debut trailer for Ready Player One came out during San Diego Comic-Con, and it gave Gunters and newbies alike a lot to look forward to.

The Excellent Defenders Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

It sounds like an insult to say that The Defenders is exactly what you thought it would be, but it isn’t. It’s a show that’s very aware of the expectations put upon it and the problems encountered by the other Marvel Netflix shows, and it knows how to best utilize its cast and its time.…

Despite Promises, It Turns Out Harley Quinn Was Never Going to—and Will Never—Be on Gotham

Over the course of Gotham’s third season, producers and cast-members alike hyped up that this would be the year that Harley Quinn would make her way to the show’s loopy reimagining of a pre-Batman Gotham City.

On Game of Thrones, Everyone’s Coming Together but Everything’s Falling Apart

It’s begun.

And for some of those…
