The Marvel Studios Disney+ shows have led to more discourse than the movies perhaps ever did. With so many more easter eggs to break down, characters to unravel and settings to explore, it’s no surprise that fans have a diverse range of opinions on what’s happened and what’s coming next. But there’s one figure who seems to have connected almost all of the streaming service’s projects in one way or another; whether as a serious discussion or as a parody playing on a long-running obsession, and that’s Mephisto, a character who’s comic book roots are baked into the fabric of the Marvel Universe, and who has surprisingly never actually been introduced into the MCU itself....

Horror auteur Mike Flanagan is responsible for many excellent spooky sagas since his first major film Oculus debuted in 2013. The writer/director has shepherded films like Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep; and TV series like Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Still, even with such a deep resume, there’s room for only one favorite. And according to Flanagan himself, that favorite is definitively his latest TV collaboration with Netflix, Midnight Mass....

No official reason has been given for the film’s removal from its December 22, 2023 berth (per The Hollywood Reporter), but the writing was almost certainly on the wall when director Matt Shakman – who joined the project in July 2021 – departed last month to take the reins of Marvel Studios’ highly-anticipated Fantastic Four reboot. The news leaves the fate of the big screen version of Trek, along with its cast, in limbo – not surprising, considering that the current theatrical cast didn’t even seem to know as late as this past summer that the movie was moving forward....

We love The Boys, which is an outrageously gross and often hilarious take-down of celebrity culture, social media politics and even, occasionally, superhero stories. But we have one request for The Boys season 4 – let the female characters be as flawed as the boys! Of course, every character in The Boys is flawed in some way, because it’s just that kind of world. And thanks to a number of male characters from the comic book series who have been gender-flipped for the show, the TV version does have a decent roster of flawed or outright villainous female characters....

The fact is that we came fairly close at one point — but a potential fourth entry in the series was ultimately stopped in its tracks. While The Godfather Part III was a modest success with both critics and audiences (it earned $136 million in 1990 money at the box office), it was not enough of a blockbuster to indicate that there was a large audience out there still hungry for more of the Corleone family....

When Richard has to return to work, he leaves the two siblings in the care of his new girlfriend Grace (Riley Keough, Logan Lucky) at the family’s isolated winter lodge, in the hope that they will get to know each other before he returns for Christmas. But Grace–who has a haunted past of her own–and the kids soon find themselves at odds with each other and at the mercy of forces they may not be able to control....

If it’s one thing the Pierces gone do, it’s survive. On last week’s episode of Black Lightning, Tobias switched on a meta-power nullifier while Black Lightning, Thunder, and Lightning were each in compromising positions: JJ was flying when her powers ceased to work, so she went into a freefall. She was prevented from becoming one with the pavement by a force field bubble Gambi added to her suit as a failsafe....

“You can’t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right? I think that’d be bad news for fans of PS4, and frankly not very good business,” said the Head of PlayStation Studios, Hermen Hulst, in a recent interview. “Where it makes sense to develop a title for both PS4 and PS5 — for Horizon Forbidden West, the next God of War, GT7 — we’ll continue looking at that....

The majority of the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer seemingly takes place in the new world of Quadratum, which is almost certainly the most contemporary setting in Kingdom Hearts history. Quadratum looks similar to present-day Tokyo and is full of photorealistic buildings, people, cars, and cellphones. A much more modern-looking Sora even wakes up on a modern-looking sofa in a modern-looking apartment. He no longer has cartoonish proportions, and his signature giant shoes have been replaced with reasonably-sized loafers....

Like with any period fantasy, the first season of Warrior was devoted to quite a lot of world building. The cast was diverse, but somewhat stereotyped. The Chinese were all Kung Fu gangsters, prostitutes, or coolies. The Irish were drunkards or corrupt cops. But Season 2 solidified the world of Warrior, the characters were able to deepen and grow. The drama and the action leveled up significantly. And the historical references and political commentary were spot on....

If you have never felt concerned or confused, then think again. Google algorithm update has the potential to make you feel helpless and frustrated at the same time. Google makes all the efforts obsolete with a single update that can be negative for the website and messes up the organic traffic. Along with this, Google never analyzes or evaluates a website. It plays with secrecy and hits it when a site is at the top....

That said, narration with a human voice connects readers emotionally with textual documents like PDFs, books, novels, and e-learning courses, to name a few. Text-to-speech solutions are perfect for busy professionals to multitask as well. No wonder why there’s an abundance of text-to-speech solutions in the market.

In many ways, the landscape for digital businesses has seen a revolution or two. What started as simple CGI scripts written in Perl has now bloomed into clustered deployments running fully automated on Kubernetes and other orchestration frameworks (sorry for the heavy jargon — I’m not making it up at all; it’s just the way things are these days!). But I can’t help but smile at the thought that the fundamentals are still the same as they were in the 1970s....
