"Violence For Violence's Sake": Wonder Woman Is More Violent Than Ever, But It Is For the Best

Warning: Spoilers for Absolute Wonder Woman #4 Wonder Woman 's desire for peace is one of the most fundamental facets of her characterization, but DC's latest re-imagining of her is much more violent than the original. The Absolute Universe's darker Wonder Woman deals with her foes in gory fashion, leaving them beaten and bloody in a way that the classic version seldom does.

J.K. Simmons' Character In Whiplash Was Even More Perverse Than We Thought According To The Screenplay

Whiplash was Damien Chazelle’s feature-length debut, and the film immediately proved his talent as both a screenwriter and a director. The story follows a young boy named Andrew Neiman, who enrolls at a prestigious music academy, where his self-worth and confidence is gradually chipped away by his abusive teacher in pursuit of greatness. It’s an extremely powerful and emotional story that speaks to the universal experience of feeling lost and inadequate, and J.K. Simmons’ detestable character is the reason it works so well. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/8cAyjEd

DOOM: The Dark Ages Might Be The Perfect Solution To The Franchise's Greatest Weakness

The DOOM franchise has always pushed boundaries by finding innovative new ways to slay hordes of demons, with DOOM: The Dark Ages being no exception to the rule. While DOOM has experimented with different kinds of weapons over the years, the Doom Slayer still has an iconic arsenal that follows him through each of his appearances in the series . Given that The Dark Ages takes place in a unique setting long before the events of Doom Eternal , it offers much more freedom to rework the Slayer's arsenal of destruction. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/96OMe1N

I Have a Unique Way To Play Co-op With Friends In Baldur’s Gate 3, And You Should Try It Too

Baldur's Gate 3 has been released for well over a year now, and has been one of my favorite games since. As such, I've been trying to find new ways to experience it, and trying to think of all the different types of flair I can give to my Tavs. I found a lot of that through multiplayer runs, especially with friends who hadn't played the game before, since I love being able to experience everything for the first time again with them. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/Q81iMBO

The Apothecary Diaries Marks Anime's Best Forbidden Romance in Ages: Here's Why

Romance is always a big draw for a story, especially when it is forbidden, and The Apothecary Diaries is the perfect example of this. In The Apothecary Diaries , the tension-filled dynamic between Maomao, the sharp-tongued servant with a penchant for medicine, and Jinshi, the flirtatious eunuch of the Inner Court, epitomizes this trope. Their connection unfolds in the middle of a web of societal rules and expectations, creating a story where every subtle glance and measured word feels electric. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/VDS4dHy

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure May Be Flashy, But It Hides Some of Anime's Darkest Moments

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is well-known for its flashy, fashionable characters, clever incorporation of pop-culture references, and action-packed fight scenes, but the series is certainly not all upbeat. Although themes of friendship, bravery, and good triumphing over evil are prominent, quite a few JoJo's moments are undoubtedly dark. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/N6a2ohx

10 DC Movie Moments We Desperately Wish Were In Other Films Instead

Across the many iterations of the DC Universe , there are many scenes that can be argued to have fit better in other movies entirely. Given that the upcoming DC movies will begin the era of James Gunn's franchise, many are looking back in retrospect. Rather than focus on the movies and shows of the DCU's Chapter One , audiences are refamiliarizing themselves with the previous versions of DC Comics on film, so as to truly grasp the change that Gunn is said to usher in. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/3hkMgwb

Ted Danson's 4-Season Comedy With 97% On Rotten Tomatoes Proves He Was Always Wasted On Cheers

Although Ted Danson is still best known for Cheers , the actor's more recent cult hit sitcom proves that he had a bigger range than viewers might expect. Ted Danson’s role as Cheers ' bartender, Sam Malone, was a big part of what made the show work. The ‘80s sitcom boasted an incredible supporting cast including George Wendt, Rhea Perlman, and future superstars Woody Harrelson and Kelsey Grammer, but it was Danson’s chemistry with co-star Shelley Long that made the series sing. The best episodes of Cheers proved the pair were irreplaceable, but this doesn’t mean the series fulfilled their entire potential. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/ZjeWPdp

After months of anticipation and speculation, the Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been unveiled to the world, alongside a brand-new entry in the Mario Kart series.

Dragonyhm Review: Old-School Adventure With All The Peaks & A Few Valleys

Modern consoles and PCs make the possibilities for grand, realistic roleplaying games wider than ever, but there’s still something special about cramming an ambitious fantasy adventure into an 8-bit handheld. Dragonyhm , developed by Spacebot Interactive and published by ModRetro, opts for the latter. Released as a physical cartridge compatible with the new ModRetro Chromatic or any old Game Boy Color, Dragonyhm feels every bit as comfortable on the hardware of yesteryear as Link’s Awakening or Final Fantasy Adventure does. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/lXy62Hz

10 DC Movies & Shows That Totally Change On A Rewatch

The DC Universe has a lot of films and series that may require a rewatch or two in order to get the most value out of them, for one reason or another, changing significantly on a second viewing. Compared to other superhero properties, DC movies and TV shows seem altogether more willing to take risks with their production, not content to sit back and reap the rewards of a "safe" narrative custom-built to please fans. Whether this is a good or a bad thing remains up in the air, as revisiting certain DC projects can often reveal. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/neAqL8h

2025 will mark the 18-year anniversary of Rihanna 's breakout hit single, "Umbrella."

The Brutalist vs. Emilia Pérez: Which Golden Globes Winner Is Better Positioned To Win Best Picture At The 2025 Oscars

The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez were the big winners at the 2025 Golden Globes , but one is more likely to take home the Academy Award for Best Picture than the other. Emilia Pérez took home four awards at the Golden Globes — the most of any movie at the ceremony — while The Brutalist took home three in a close second place. The Brutalist is a sobering historical epic about a Holocaust survivor pursuing the American Dream after enduring tragedy, while Emilia Pérez is a musical crime caper about a Mexican cartel boss seeking gender transition. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/2cDSKZs

Nightreign Could Be A Sign That FromSoftware Won't Make Another Game Like Elden Ring

Although FromSoftware announced that there wouldn't be a direct sequel to 2022's Game of the Year, it did say that there would be more projects with the IP, with Elden Ring Nightreign being an example of one of these projects. FromSoftware's president, Hidetaka Miyazaki, also stated that he would not be in charge of all the projects coming out of the studio, with Junya Ishizaki taking charge of Nightreign. This is similar to how Masaru Yamamura was made the director of Armored Core 6, and it seems that FromSoftware is more ready to trust the vision of other directors. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/81neh5d

7 Steven Moffat Doctor Who Episodes Referenced In 2024's Christmas Special

Doctor Who ’s 2024 Christmas special, “Joy to the World,” contains several references to Steven Moffat’s past episodes of the show. The Doctor Who Christmas specials are often a great opportunity for the show to take a break from its overarching story arcs for one story, but this doesn’t mean that the episode can’t make a nod to previous installments and characters. “Joy to the World” is full of brilliant references to some of Steven Moffat’s best Doctor Who episodes , which makes sense, seeing as the 2024 Christmas episode is also written by the ex-showrunner. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/dGYWCBv
