Elizabeth Olsen Ranks WandaVision Ahead of Doctor Strange 2

Marvel’s superhero movies make billions of dollars. Despite how much WandaVision has dominated pop culture these last few months (albeit after more than a year and a half without any Marvel Cinematic Universe content whatsoever), and even though it has likely driven at least some Disney+ subscriptions, the shows don’t and will not. That makes…

What Superhero Movies Need to Remember While Embracing Multiversal Madness

Much as audiences might long for Hollywood to change its approach to superhero movies, studios are loathe to let go of the genre’s established hallmarks. So things like glowing MacGuffins and overstuffed’s crossovers are utilized for a variety of reasons—including the simple fact that a lot of people genuinely like them. It’s easy to dismiss these…

Steven Moffat Feels Guilty For Changing Doctor Who‘s Time War

When Doctor Who came back in 2005, the show featured a tormented Doctor who was the last of his kind and the sole survivor of an unimaginable war that had ended with the Doctor committing double genocide. Should this have remained the show’s status quo? Talking to Doctor Who Magazine, showrunner Steven Moffat says he…

DC and Star Wars: Two Very Different Approaches To Sprawling Backstories

Massive continuities are a blessing and a curse for the epic franchises that dominate popular culture. There’s a rich lore to draw on, but how do you keep the complicated backstories understandable to newcomers?

An Illustrated Guide to Why Windows 10 Actually Impressed Me

Here is a tablet. A Surface Pro 3, to be exact. I’ve never really wanted a Surface Pro 3, but Windows 10 is making me reconsider. Let me show you why. Right now, this Surface Pro 3 has a pretty messy desktop. Those apps are just strewn all over the place. Not terrible if you’re…

Samsung’s “Flow” Is a Continuity Clone for Samsung Devices (Hands-On)

Samsung wants to let you sling things across all your devices. Webpages, phone calls, and plenty more. Wouldn’t it be great if you seamlessly hop from one device to the next? And doesn’t that idea sound familiar? The concept is basically torn from Apple’s Yosemite playbook, specifically “Continuity,” that family of inter-device features that includes…

How to Get Handoff to Actually Work in OS X Yosemite

If you’re anything like me, you were really excited to try out the new Handoff feature in OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.

Can You Get Handoff to Work in OS X Yosemite?

When Apple first announced OS X Yosemite, Handoff was one of the features I was most excited about. And then this week, when the Yosemite update arrived, I was stoked to use it. Unfortunately, I can’t—and not just because of compatibility issues, either. Handoff simply doesn’t work with my iMac and iPhone. It also doesn’t…

Is there any way that Torchwood and Doctor Who can still be in the same universe?

Torchwood started life as a spin-off from Doctor Who, and the two shows have always maintained a fairly tight continuity. But now that Torchwood is a Starz/BBC co-production, that seems to have gone out the window, somewhat. At the very least, events on both shows have people wondering if there’s any way they can still…

Why do your favorite heroes get bogged down in continuity and inside references?

It never fails: The cooler a hero is, the likelier he or she is to start tossing out references that only mean something to a handful of fans. The longer an epic story goes on, the more self-referential it gets. Why does this happen? And is there just a natural law that stories have to…

Have We Seen Bruce Wayne’s End Before? (Spoilers)

The final part of Neil Gaiman‘s Batman story, Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader, hit stores this Wednesday, featuring an unusual final fate for Bruce Wayne. But not so unusual, if you’d already read Continuity. We admit it; it’s unlikely-verging-on-impossible that Gaiman ripped off the 2006 indie graphic novel by Jason McNamara and Tony Talbot…
