The DCEU made some fatal errors, butif theDCUis smart, it can look to these mistakes to deliver something so much better. DC has been a source for incredible stories for decades. With superheroes like Superman, Batman, and many more making their debuts in the 1930s and 1940s, DC has plenty of experience in what it takes to make a good story. However, this didn’t translate as expected in the DCEU....

From the hellish revelation inThe Good Placeto a certain blood-soaked wedding inGame of Thrones, these TV twists changed their shows for the better. Television is one of the best mediums for plot twists. A feature-length movie is confined to a couple of hours, so it can only really pack in one big surprise. Novels can be a great vehicle for twisty storytelling, but they require so much scene-setting that authors have to limit their twist quotient....

There aren’t many TV shows that could be considered true masterpieces, but many series that earn the title signal their quality from the first moments of the show. FromTV shows with opening lines that hooked usto series that strike the viewer with their visual style and atmosphere,these projects had a clear understanding of what they wereand the purpose they served from day one. This helps to draw audiences in, as there’s nothing more compelling than being immersed in a fully realized world....

Robert Caruso, a curious Citrix Engineer, managed to stage the contest andreported the bout on LinkedIn....

Alan Ritchsonhas been brilliant inReacher, but the upcomingNeagleyspin-off already seems to have a massive advantage over the parent series because of its main character. Given how theNeagleyspin-off showis not backed by an original book series, it will have the freedom to take its story in myriad directions. Unlike the parent series, it will not carry the pressure of pleasing viewers familiar withLee Child’sJack Reacherbooks. However, this could be both beneficial and risky for the upcomingPrime Video detective series....

Loki’s life changes for the better in anAvengers: Doomsdaytheory that greatly reduces his chances of dying in theMarvel Cinematic Universemovie.Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has one of my favorite character arcs in the MCU. If it wasn’t for him as a villain, maybe 2012’sThe Avengerswould not be one of theMCU’s best moviesand a hit. Hiddleston always delivered as a villain, but as we saw, Loki could be so much more than that. I was thrilled by Disney+‘sLokiseries and how the show gave the actor two seasons to fully develop a new version of the character and make it as beloved as the original....

Alfred Pennyworthmight beBatman’sclosest ally and confidant, a mixture of mentor and friend, but that doesn’t mean Bruce Wayne trusts him…because he doesn’t trust anybody. In fact, the Dark Knight’s inability to fully trust Alfred highlights a fundamental part of his character. The tragic reality is, being Batman means Bruce can’t fully count on anybody but himself. 2016’sBatman#2, written by Tom King, with art by David Finch, contains a moment thatperfectly encapsulates this core aspect of Batman, in which Bruce Wayne bluntly says, “I don’t even trust Alfred....

I’m generally a big fan of the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers, but I usually disable them while playing online shooters likeBattlefield 6. The technology is great, providing resistance to a button press so that in-game actions have a tactical feel. I love it when games put them to good use, especially when cleverly implemented, like having two different firing modes on a single trigger inReturnal. But I find them distracting in multiplayer games....

Academy Award-winner and Marvel starBrie Larsonis set to lead a new creature horror movie produced by J.J. Abrams.
