Super Mario The Strange Origins Of Bowser S Real Name

Bower certainly boasts the resume needed to be worthy of that title. For over 35 years, he has played various roles in some of the most successfully, acclaimed, and beloved Nintendo games ever made. Of course, his status as a video game icon has as much to do with his distinct look and, of course, that wonderful name. However, you should know that Bower’s real name isn’t actually Bowser. Well…at least not entirely....

Supergirl Lena Luthor S Play For Redemption

Supergirl Season 6 Episode 2 While our heroes work on freeing Supergirl from the Phantom Zone and its resident space dementors, Lex Luthor’s courtroom drama over his latest plan for world domination plays out expeditiously. It’s a somewhat uneven hour of television that does best when it leans into the lessons these women have learned, whether that’s Alex Danvers pushing herself to bring Supergirl home instantaneously, M’gann schooling J’onn J’onzz on the dangers of charging into dangerous missions too quickly, or Lena Luther in what feels like a synthesis of everything the character has learned in six seasons of trying to be a good person in a world that expects her to be bad....

Supergirl S Azie Tesfai Takes On Race And Privilege As Guardian Episode Writer

Supergirl Season 6 Episode 12 Kelly makes her debut as Guardian in an impressive episode that actor Azie Tesfai (Kelly Olsen) co-wrote and David Ramsey directed. Ramsey previously directed a few great episodes of Arrow. Here, his direction gives the proceedings a feeling of gravitas – everything feels a bit more special, the shots more cinematic and creative. For Tesfai’s part, adding “writer” to her credits makes her the first Arrowverse actor to do so and adds a level of lived experience that grounds the episode in very real issues of race and privilege, even as Tesfai deftly weaves those themes into the fantastical aspects of the show....

Superman Lois Place In The Arrowverse Revealed

Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 15 Ever since Superman & Lois launched in 2021, there has been speculation about its specific place in the Arrowverse. Over the last near-decade, fans have become accustomed to the various CW DC TV shows being fairly interconnected. And not just in terms of crossovers, but maintaining their intricate continuity and referencing events on neighboring shows. But things have always felt a little different in Superman & Lois’ corner of this world, from its more “widescreen” aesthetic, the more serious tone, the recastings of existing DC TV characters, and more....

Swamp Thing Canceled

The James Wan produced horror series has received solid reviews, and the announcement of its cancelation, before the season has even completed its first season run is only going to increase speculation about the long term health of the DC Universe streaming service. The abrupt cancelation of Swamp Thing, the fact that a second season of the critically acclaimed Doom Patrol has yet to be announced, and the fact that neither the service itself nor any of their shows got so much as a mention at the Warner Media Upfront presentation in New York City in May would seem to be cause for concern....

Sweet Girl Review Jason Momoa Netflix Thriller Sours Quickly

Directed by Brian Andrew Mendoza, Momoa’s longtime producing partner who makes his directorial debut here, Sweet Girl fits the exact brief of the kind of run-of-the-mill thriller, written and shot according to a specific formula and anchored by one big star, which the streaming giant has made into a vast cottage industry. A perfunctory layer of social consciousness is applied over the top, but it’s done in such a heavy-handed manner that the film just becomes exhausting to watch....

Sweet Sweetback S Baadasssss Song Was Revolutionary On Every Level

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song defies all expectations. Unapologetically Black, it flips every stereotype back on itself. It reconstructs the constrictions of sexual identification. It wasn’t made for the institution. It was made for the people. “This film is dedicated to all the Brothers and Sisters who had enough of the Man,” reads the opening titles. That included the ones in suits at Hollywood studios. Even after the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton, the only African Americans people saw on the big screen were subservient to whites, or played by Sidney Poitier....

Ted Lasso Roy And Keeley Share The Best Season 2 Scene Yet

Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) are a special kind of TV couple. Like other character pairings on Bill Lawrence-produced shows before them (Turk and Carla on Scrubs, Jules and Grayson on Cougar Town), Roy and Keeley reject the “will they or won’t they” sitcom binary. Instead these are two adults who share an intense emotional and physical connection and who are bound and determined to make an adult relationship work....

The Batman Ending Explained

We’ve witnessed this scene before in a Batman movie. A Dark Knight and his feline companion stand by a motorcycle, parting ways for what feels like forever—but probably won’t be. It’s the final scene in Matt Reeves’ sinewy The Batman, and it echoes a similar moment from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012): Catwoman asks Batman to come with her and give up on this hellhole they call a city; he refuses....

The Batman Set Photos Tease A Tough Winter For Bruce Wayne

Robert Pattinson, who stars as the Caped Crusader in the Year 2 film, is nowhere to be seen in the aerial pics, and neither are any of the other cast members. Instead, we’re given what is tantamount to an exterior set tour. Not that we’re complaining. In some of the images, you can see several Gotham buildings that seem to have been subjected to bomb blasts… In others, the Penguin’s crime front – Gotham Harbor Iceberg Fish Co....

Her latest, The Lost City, sees her play a romance author who ends up on a jungle adventure with her ditzy cover model, played by Channing Tatum.

Here’s a round up of some of the best Sandra Bullock rom-coms to tickle your fancy....

The Boys Karl Urban Addresses Possibility Of Playing Wolverine In The Mcu

Now that Disney’s purchase of Fox Studios has brought the X-Men back under Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige and other producers are taking their time casting the role of the most popular mutant. But that hasn’t prevented fans from making their own predictions. Internet groups have called for everyone from former Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe to Brett Goldstein of Ted Lasso fame to pop the Canucklehead’s adamantium claws. But perhaps the most popular casting involves someone with an established history of playing genre heroes: Karl Urban....

The Elder Scrolls Timeline Every Game In Chronological Order

If there’s any franchise timeline that can tell The Legend of Zelda to hold its beer, it’s The Elder Scrolls. A big part of the reason why the series’ timeline is so difficult to keep track of is the fact that all games in it are fairly disconnected. Sure, every Elder Scrolls game features recurring ideas such as the races, guilds, and demonic Daedra, but other than that, there are not many obvious links between them....

In 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers catches up with everything he missed when he was on ice by carrying around a little notebook full of historic moments and pop culture recommendations. In Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) has a similar notebook of his own. But instead of entries like “Nirvana”, “Thai Food,” or “Moon Landing”, Bucky’s has a list of names linked to past sins he must atone for, mostly carried out when he was Hydra’s favorite assassin, the Winter Soldier....

The Flash Season 5 Episode 1 Review Nora

The Flash Season 5 Episode 1 I made no secret about my general disdain for the previous season of The Flash. Then again, I was in the minority who absolutely loved season three, so make of that what you will. But seriously, I was so disappointed in last season that not even the finale, where the show has often managed to do its best work, was able to change my opinion of things....

This is a five part special event, which means it’s a traditional graphic novel centered around Flash that’s a little bit bigger. A little bit more exciting, a little bit extra, the emotions are a little deeper, but it is not a crossover....
