It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Taika Waititi twirled Mjolnir and made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut with Thor: Ragnarok. While we’ve since had Thor: Love and Thunder, most agree Ragnarok is the God of Thunder’s best. More recently, we’ve become obsessed with HBO’s House of the Dragon and a fight for a more painful throne than the one in Asgard. It might be hard to connect the dots to Westeros, but on another viewing, Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel’s answer to House of the Dragon – just with fewer dragons and no Jeff Goldblum....

Though technically released via Steam Early Access in late December 2021, most people didn’t find developer poncle’s Vampire Survivors until 2022. It’s honestly amazing people found the game in the first place. It is, after all, a visually simple and mechanically odd game that may come across as a kind of Castlevania rip-off. To be blunt, it looks like thousands of other games that clog the Steam library. Vampire Survivors is so much more than that, though....

A bank robbery is very unsafe for a sophisticated bad actor. It physically jeopardizes the criminal while it happens and awards hefty punishments if caught. In contrast, you remain mostly untouched if you orchestrate a futuristic ransomware attack. Conclusively, cyber extortions are far less risky and more profitable in comparison to conventional thefts or robberies. In addition, the weaker penalties have further favored cybercriminals. Factor in the untraceable cryptocurrencies, and we should already start strengthening our defenses....

That commitment to the story wasn’t the only thing that won the role for Reynolds, but a lack of commitment certainly lost the part for one of his competitors. In an interview with Variety, Avatar: The Way of Water star Sam Worthington revealed that he had been up for the part of Hal Jordan. But Worthington’s questions during the casting process made him unworthy to wield the ring. “It didn’t make much sense to me,” recalled Worthington....

The show is located in New York City, and the time is some point after the events of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far from Home — meaning it’s taking place at the end of either 2024 or 2025, since the former took place in 2023 and the latter in the summer of 2024.
