When I saw the trailer for season 1 of Netflix's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, I thought the animation looked cheap, the character designs were generic and the action was wrapped in cotton wool. I tuned in with low expectations, then, so it was a nice surprise when the show ended up telling a fairly engaging tale.
What WarnerMedia did to DC Universe's Swamp Thing is nothing short of shameful. The comic book adaptation premiered on the streaming service in 2019 with some good hype behind it. But the show almost instantly had its legs cut from under it when it was cancelled immediately after the first episode aired. This fatal blow came op top of the series already having had its thirteen-episode order reduced to ten, with WarnerMedia citing “creative differences” as the reason.
Tom Holland's Spidey will be swinging back onto screens this December for the highly anticipated Spider-Man 3, and the rumor mill has been spinning for a while that the actor will be in illustrious company. We know that Jamie Foxx is on board as Electro and Alfred Molina is reprising the role of Doctor Octopus, but what everyone really wants to find out is whether the rumors of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire returning are true.
We've had hints that the galaxy's ultimate hunter would be coming to Fortnite for a while and today, the Predator has finally arrived. While his skin isn't unlockable just yet, the v15.20 update has added a set of Predator challenges which will get you in-game items themed around him. The most interesting new task is to find a "mysterious pod," the craft that's brought him to the island.
The world of behind the scenes Star Wars conspiracy theories is up there with QAnon for being completely insane and almost impossible for outsiders to understand. To boil it down to the basics, a small but loud group of fans fervently believe that Lucasfilm is violently divided at all times. Their claims range from baseless rumors about Pedro Pascal being fired from The Mandalorian right up to everyone even tangentially involved with the franchise having knives out for Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.
True Blood came at the peak of the late 2000s sexy vampire craze, telling the story of the undead integrating with the human world after the invention of a synthetic blood substitute. Over seven seasons, we saw vampires battle for equal rights against anti-vampire organizations, with werewolves, faeries and witches eventually joining the party. The show won a whole bunch of awards, amassed a dedicated fanbase and was lauded for its allegorical LGBTQ rights narrative.
As far as reasons go for delaying a movie, the wild popularity of the lead actor isn't a bad one to have. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently gave an interview in which he opened up about Deadpool 3. Up until now, fans had a lot of questions about the project: will this be set in the MCU, would it maintain the franchises' R rating and, perhaps most importantly, when is it coming?
