This article contains minor spoilers for The Protégé and Nikita. The TV landscape has always been ahead of movies when it comes to giving women’and other underrepresented identities’a shot.

While the new Death Stranding Directors’ Cut trailer was supposed to showcase the game’s new items, modes, and missions, the thing that people can’t seem to stop talking about at the moment is that bizarre “whale” creature whose brief appearance has people dreaming of the next Hideo Kojima game.

Charlie Watts’ drums were the foundation of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the songs, got the most press, and were the most visible members, but Watts dictated the style.

This review contains spoilers for What If…? episode 3.

To this day, neither Twitch or Beahm have revealed why
Like most Marvel Studios offerings, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a peculiar but polished amalgam of subverted genre tropes, dazzling action sequences, and heartfelt character moments that is ultimately meant to feed the larger MCU monster.

This article contains major spoilers for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf There are many good reasons why The Witcher doesn’t feature Geralt of Rivia beheading a vampire and then quipping, “Fangs for the memories.” His sense of humor is more cutting and direct, definitely not as snarky as when his mentor Vesemir fights the
