The rest of the Star Wars universe might be experiencing some upheaval, but the TV adventures of The Mandalorian set in a galaxy far, far away are being met with universal praise. The excitement for season 2 is at an all time high as well, especially after the action-packed season 1 finale, which saw the introduction of a character who looks to be the main series villain and some neat surprises.
Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League might be adding yet another character that’s long been rumored to make an appearance. We've already heard that Darkseid is being built up as the main antagonist, and cryptic teases have hinted at the Martian Manhunter playing a significant part in the revised plot, too. And now we might have been given a sign that Green Lantern will make his debut as well.
Sometimes the antagonist is just as charming and universally adored as the hero who rides out to save the day. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, is undoubtedly one such fan favorite and to be fair, he’s not all bad. His arc does see him go from being the villain, to an anti-hero, and even finally to a hero of sorts. And now one fan is teasing us with an image of Hiddleston going from God of Mischief to Clown Prince of Crime.
Producer Chris Miller has tweeted about the "groundbreaking" art techniques being developed for Spider-Man: into the Spider-Verse 2 that blew him away.
The Star Wars franchise has created some of the most iconic characters to be featured in any property. Even casual fans know the likes of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca. And who can forget Darth Vader, with his iconic all-black costume design, robotic voice, red lightsaber and world’s most quoted – or rather, misquoted – line, “No [Luke], I am your father.”
The campaign for the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League was clearly a landmark victory for fans of the franchise, after it finally got the green light for an official release on HBO Max. Bolstered by the win, the DCEU loyal have now set their sights on the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad.
On one end of the spectrum, Avatar: The Last Airbender remains one of the most beloved animated series ever. On the other end, The Last Airbender will live on in infamy as one of the worst live-action adaptations to ever (dis)grace the big screen. And a Tweet is now going viral for highlighting just one of the many things that made the movie such a dud.
Comic book movies have a come a long way in the last 10 years, especially with the MCU’s contributions toward defining what a great cinematic franchise looks like. To say films like Green Lantern have not aged well by comparison is an understatement. It sure is a good thing that Ryan Reynolds has moved on to bigger and better prospects, eh?
