Everyone loves Baby Yoda. The tiny star of Disney Plus' The Mandalorian has become one of the most loved aspects of the show, whether he's cutely playing with the controls of the Mandalorian's ship or using the Force on a rampaging Mudhorn. Despite being suspicious when I initially saw him at the conclusion of the first episode, he quickly wormed his way into my heart. When it looked like he was in trouble last week, I was practically yelling at the Mandalorian to get out of his ship and go save him from mean old Mr Herzog.
The Boys practically came out of nowhere to become one of the most-watched Amazon Original Series last summer, ending up scoring record audiences for the platform. It's one of the highlights of an excellent year for superheroes on TV, with this, Watchmen and the impending "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover all pleasing longtime fans. Season 2 shoot has just finished shooting and now, the stars of the show have begun to trickle out information about what's going to happen next summer.
Avengers: Endgame has been gradually revealing its secrets ever since its release. First, we got an extended theatrical cut, then a home release with a wealth of behind-the-scenes information and deleted scenes, then the Disney Plus release came with its own deleted content and now, perhaps finally, we have Avengers: Endgame - The Art of the Movie, which reveals a dizzying array of cool concepts that never made it in front of the camera.
All things considered, Disney Plus has had a very successful launch. Its flagship show The Mandalorian has been warmly received by fans and critics, there’s a great selection of Disney movies available to watch and the upcoming MCU shows look great. The only real fly in the ointment so far has been that classic episodes of The Simpsons are being presented in the wrong aspect ratio, but a fix is apparently on the way for early 2020. But now some fans are expressing their displeasure with the standard of the video on it, specifically Avengers: Endgame.
You might assume that the worst thing that could happen when you go to see Frozen 2 would be a kid accidentally spilling a coke over you or maybe a baby crying their way right through the movie. Well, attendees at a screening at the Star City cinema in Birmingham, UK found themselves caught up in what police are describing as a "mass brawl" that "bears the hallmarks of an organized fight between rival groups." This involved around 100 teenagers, two of whom were armed with a machete and one with a knife, fighting with one another.
