Verizon Now Says That Throttling Video Is Totally Cool

Verizon set off alarm bells among net neutrality advocates last week when customers reported that the ISP was throttling Netflix video.

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.…

Even a Catholic Priest Wants Daredevil to Lighten the Hell Up in the First Defenders Clip

Matt Murdock’s Catholic upbringing and his deep feelings of guilt are just as important to Daredevil as his enhanced senses.

Iron Fist Is Getting a New Showrunner and That’s Probably for the Best

Of the many villains that Danny Rand faced in Netflix’s Iron Fist, a case could be there was none greater than Scott Buck, the series’ showrunner, who gave the series an unlikable Danny Rand, too many boring Rand Corporation board meetings, and a dearth of fight scenes that actually look cool. But it’s just been…

Bright, a.k.a Orc Cop,Takes a Hard-Hitting Look at Elven Gangs and Orc Racism

Our first look at David Ayer’s orc cop movie Bright (still sadly not called Orc Cops) barely scratched the weird surface of a movie that blends LAPD police drama with a world of magic and fantastical races. But its latest trailer really dives deep into the weird culture clash of a Los Angeles filled with…

Stranger Things‘ Barb Finally Got a Tribute in the Form of a Very Tacky Shrine

Barb’s sudden departure was one of Stranger Things’ more shocking (and ultimately disappointing) plot developments that killed off a great character in order to drive the show’s story along. But what was always odd about Barb’s death was how barely anyone else in the show’s town really seemed to notice other than her friend Nancy—including…
