Three years later, they would introduce Thor and Captain America by giving the characters their own solo movies, and in The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 Bruce Banner and Black Widow had joined the party. Hawkeye and Nick Fury were also being mixed into the Marvel batter, and soon the whole thing was ready to bake in 2012’s The Avengers. For the first time, audiences got to see the Avengers teaming up on the big screen to stop their first apocalypse, and fans couldn’t get enough....

The big stars of Marvel’s Avengers‘ upcoming content release schedule (which you can find below) are the game’s first raid and the long-awaited addition of Spider-Man to the online action game’s roster of playable Marvel heroes. Otherwise, it seems that the biggest things that Marvel’s Avengers fans have to look forward to until 2022 are some recycled events, a power level cap increase, “earnable cosmetics,” and something called the “Hawkeye Nameplate Challenge” that is already inspiring memes by virtue of how sad it sounds....

The move was widely rumored and expected as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to play havoc with the theatrical exhibition business. There was even speculation that the Mouse House could premiere Black Widow on its Disney+ streaming platform, as it did this month with Mulan. Black Widow’s shift also comes as part of a larger, major shake-up in Disney’s overall release schedule, with the company also moving other Marvel titles like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals, as well as releases such as Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story remake and Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile....

Agent Mobius did say that time ran differently in the TVA but who could have imagined that the penultimate episode of Loki would arrive so quickly? Marvel’s Loki episode 5 “Journey Into Mystery” keeps up a streak of superb installments for this increasingly superb show. In this hour, Mobius joins the side of the heroes, Judge Renslayer has some questions, and Loki and Sylvie’s relationship continues to blossom thanks to the conjuring of an uncomfortable green blanket....

Marvel’s Loki episode 5 has a really unique Easter egg showcasing a video game that barely even existed, yet whose reputation has grown thanks to the power of urban legend. Visible in the secret hideout of the Variant Lokis, nestled between some old pinball machines and stacks of ephemera, is an arcade cabinet bearing the name: Polybius. It’s not exactly out of place on a show that relishes in jumping around the timestream and into and out of troublesome branch realities....

The quality and kind of insights you get from your database depend on the charting app you use because charts reveal various visual patterns that you can not detect in tabulated data. If you have a NoSQL database or non-relational database from business operations, how would you visualize it? Would you export it to another costly business intelligence (BI) app and start from scratch? Absolutely not! You just upload your database in CSV format in MongoDB Atlas and use the MongoDB Chart module to visualize data in any chart you want....

Luckily, we have law enforcement that keeps us safe. Whether it is police, sheriffs, troopers, or the FBI, in the U.S., we know that when crimes are committed, we can call on these law enforcement agencies for help. What happens though when the law enforcement agencies themselves become the victim of a crime? Who do they call for help? When law enforcement falls victim to cybercrime, especially ransomware, they can call MonsterCloud....

Julia Delbel of The Direct shared details of the Moon Knight episodes over on Twitter. According to Delbel, the first episode is 45 minutes long, episode 2 is 50 minutes long, episode 3 is also 50 minutes, and episode 4 is 51 minutes. All the running times listed include the end credits sequence, which is apparently 5 minutes long. This would mean the first episode is the shortest of the stack at around 40 minutes in length....

Ms. Marvel Episode 4 Even though there’s a lot going on in Ms. Marvel episode four, “Seeing Red”, we still we don’t learn a whole lot more than we did last week. It’s kinda par for the course with these MCU Disney+ shows, which almost always spin their narrative wheels in favor of some rote action and character development in their fourth episodes. I’m not mad about it. I’m happy to spend more time with Kamala, her mother, and her grandmother for the best part of an hour, before Kamala gets a shot at some real-life driver’s ed in a pretty fun chase sequence....

While Mystery Science Theater 3000 has done a handful of Christmas-themed episodes (one major one per host, at least), the series has a much deeper relationship with Thanksgiving. Turkey Day is essentially its legacy. It started on Thanksgiving and it always comes back to that one Thursday in late November, whether the show is on the air or not. Back in 1988, Joel Hodgson created a new show idea inspired by a random image from the liner notes of an Elton John album, wherein a couple of silhouettes sit in front of a movie screen....

Hellboy, which was not a sequel to the two films made by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman, starred David Harbour as the title demon. It was also Marshall’s first feature in nine years–a break during which he directed episodes of Westworld, Hannibal, and particularly Game of Thrones. Yet Hellboy landed with a loud thud both at the box office and with critics. Marshall tells Den of Geek that he took the assignment to direct Hellboy purely as a means to get back into directing features....

Fantasia, which under normal circumstances physically takes place in Montreal in mid-summer, went online in 2020 for an all-digital edition that kicked off on August 20 and concluded on September 2. The event was a mix of films that were either available on demand at any time throughout the fest (up until a maximum ticket capacity was reached) or were designated to stream “live,” as it were, on one or two certain dates at specific times (also with a maximum ticket capacity)....

The streamer is coming out strong with a third season of Cobra Kai, formerly of YouTube Premium. The next installment in Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence’s story is set to arrive…eventually. Netflix has not unveiled a released date yet but it will be during this month. While Cobra Kai is the highlight among Netflix’ original series, it’s not the only one by a long shot. Last year’s fun Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous returns for a second season on Jan....

Stranger Things season 4 “volume one” is set to premiere on May 27. It’s been a long wait for new episodes of this ’80s-tinged sci-fi/horror series and based on the trailers, the wait will have been well worth it. In this go-around, the kids of Hawkins (now high schoolers) will have to contend with the Upside Down once again to go along with the horrors of the Creel House. While Stranger Things is the biggest Netflix original this month, it’s far from the only one....

“Every episode is new,” says showrunner Channing Powell, who was also a writer for both The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead. “There’s a new director, we have different sets, different actors, and entirely different characters and settings.” But she is clear that this show is for old fans and new fans alike. “I actually think it’s pretty balanced, half and half.” There will be “small easter eggs” and returning characters, such as the complicated fan favorite and antagonist of The Walking Dead season nine, Alpha, played by Samantha Morton, as well as episodes that play with genre and “push the boundaries of the universe....

In case you missed its surprise reveal earlier today, the Nintendo Switch OLED is an upgraded version of the “base” Nintendo Switch that’s currently scheduled to be released on October 8 for $349.99. As you probably gathered from the name, the console’s headline feature is its new OLED screen which is not only 0.8 inches larger than the base Switch screen but will offer improved picture contrast. The Switch OLED also features expanded internal storage, a new LAN port built into its dock, better speakers, and a wider (and much more versatile) stand....

Like the ticking clock inside Peter Pan’s crocodile, time has stalked every creature on this planet to their inevitable doom. It can often be ignored or compartmentalized, but it finds you in the end. Which is why, on paper, Old should be terrifying. By adapting a graphic novel called Sandcastle by Pierre-Oscar Lévy and Frederick Peeters, Shyamalan is attempting to prevent us from looking away. This is a film where once you step foot on a mythical beach, you will live a lifetime in a day....

Liotta played bad cops and good robbers, sympathetic psychos and friendly ghosts. He is at his best when he is at his worst, and he takes you along with him. If his character is annoyed, the audience gets mad. When his character gets angry, the audience wants blood. Liotta can accommodate without even pulling a trigger. In Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990), Henry Hill learns at one point his girlfriend, and future wife, Karen (Lorraine Bracco) has been molested by a neighborhood boy....

Outer Banks season 1 centers around John B Routledge, his search for answers about his father’s disappearance, and its connection to a sunken treasure. John B, along with his best friends, JJ, Kiara, Pope, and new-beau Sarah uncover the whereabouts of the missing Royal Merchant gold and discover the truth about Big John. Season 2 expands on the Royal Merchant mystery, giving the Pogues something new to search for, and imbuing it with additional meaning for one member of the group in particular, Pope....

Even showrunner Brian Watkins and his writing team couldn’t answer all the mysteries or twists and turns that they spawned in season 1 of Prime Video’s Outer Range. The premiere season spoonfed audiences a steady pace of the bizarre that built up more and more throughout the season, with the show’s final week arguably giving us the strangest two episodes. Yet while the series keeps piling on the questions, there were finally a few much needed answers as well....
