Lucifer Season 6 Episode 1 Review: Nothing Ever Changes Around Here

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 1 “Who wants to be tickled by Satan’s whiskers?” Six weeks have passed, and Lucifer prepares to ascend into Heaven and begin his dream job – master of the universe. But the Devil’s having second thoughts about taking on God’s responsibilities, and “Nothing Ever Changes Around Here” cleverly sets up Lucifer’s sixth and final season to potentially explore the often unspoken desires that drive each character.  Though it was well documented that the season six episodes were completed and ready to air, conventional wisdom expected Netflix to wait much longer before…

Aquaman 2: Jason Momoa’s New Suit Makes Big Changes to Hero’s Look

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will see the King of Atlantis return for another adventure next year. It’s a no-brainer after the first Aquaman movie scored the DCEU its first billion-dollar box office take, making the Jason Momoa superhero vehicle the highest grossing DC movie of all time. It’s a bit of a Cinderella story considering that before the massive success of the movie, Aquaman was often the butt of jokes for being the DC hero who talks to fish. Of course, when an actor as charismatic (and imposing) as Momoa is wearing the suit, he’s no joke at all.…

Superman & Lois Episode 7: Inside the “Man of Steel” Ending That Changes the Series

This article contains Superman & Lois episode 7 spoilers. Superman & Lois Episode 7 It took seven episodes, but we’ve finally learned the secrets of the mysterious stranger who up until now has only been known as “Captain Luthor.” Since the first episode of Superman & Lois aired back in February, fans (and journalists) have been buzzing about the identity of the man under the armor who has been giving Superman a hard time, and lately, spending a lot of time with Lois Lane.  And while everyone just took the armor’s AI at its word that this is a “Captain…

Mortal Kombat: Biggest Changes the Movie Makes to the Games

This article contains spoilers for Mortal Kombat. The Mortal Kombat movie may be one of the first true blockbusters of 2021, but for millions of fans of the games, it’s also another chance to “get it right.” Sure, 1995’s is a somewhat underrated live-action adaptation of a video game, but its irredeemable sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, left many fans doubting that we’d ever see another big-budget live-action Mortal Kombat movie much less one that comes close to capturing what makes the games special. You can read our review of the film itself for a better look at how close the new…

Minecraft 1.17: What the Caves and Cliffs Update Changes Mean for the Game

The Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update is one of the largest, most anticipated changes to the beloved sandbox game since its introduction a decade ago, but players will have to wait on some parts a bit longer than anticipated. Mojang has announced that Caves and Cliffs will be split into two releases with some modifications arriving on schedule this summer and others being pushed back for a holiday season release. Frustration or disappointment may prompt fans to wonder why the decision was made and which upgrades will not be included in round one. Mojang’s announcement placed much of the…

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Changes Might Save the Original Game

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will undoubtedly inherit the original franchise’s controversies (and start a few new ones of its own thanks to some fresh camera angles), but a series of changes recently revealed by BioWare suggest that the Legendary Edition may just become the best way to experience the divisive title that kicked this series off. 2007’s Mass Effect was touted as BioWare’s most ambitious game until that point, which was true in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, all that ambition resulted in a game that clearly wanted to be a more modernized version of BioWare’s best RPGs but often…

The Walking Dead: What “Here’s Negan” Changes from the Comic

This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season 10 episode 22. Negan (no last name given…or needed) is one of the most unexpectedly beloved characters on The Walking Dead. Loquacious, charismatic, and unfailingly vulgar, Negan practically jumps off the page of Robert Kirkman’s comic series, and makes a big impact through Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s performance of the AMC series. Over 193 issues of Kirkman’s comic, it became clear that the writer was just as enthralled with the brutish villain as the fans were. It would have been easy to kill Negan off at the end of the extended All…

Bringing The Walking Dead Season 10 Back During Covid-19 Meant Big Changes

There’s never been a season of The Walking Dead quite like this one. With six additional episodes added on as an epilogue to its original finale, season 10 will go down as the longest season in the show’s history. This, of course, wasn’t the plan, but when the Covid-19 pandemic forced productions to grind to a halt last March, AMC had to figure out how to shoot its popular zombie drama safely, while also considering what kind of material it could realistically film when crowded hordes of walkers in tight spaces are no longer an option. The first step was…

The Promised Neverland Season 2: The Major Changes Made From the Manga

This Promised Neverland article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 5, as well as the manga source material. While Netflix-watchers eagerly anticipate The Promised Neverland Season 2, fans who watch the anime on Hulu or elsewhere are five episodes into the second season, and—for the most part—are increasingly nervous about the series’ narrative choices. After the latest episode (Season 2, Episode 5), The Promised Neverland anime seems to be making major changes from the manga… and, by “changes,” I mean skipping entire arcs of the story, seemingly without any plans to replace them with narrative that bridges the beginning of this…

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Changes Leave Gamers Crying “Censorship”

The long-awaited Mass Effect Legendary Edition collection has found itself at the center of a rather strange controversy that has left some gamers claiming the classic RPGs have been censored. In an interview with Metro, BioWare project director Mac Walters addressed some of the ways that the team is using the Legendary Edition to fix certain aspects of the original Mass Effect games that haven’t aged well. Notably, he revealed that the team is especially interested in remedying some of the issues that left the original female avatar for Commander Shepard feeling like an afterthought. “So a male Shepherd animation…

FIFA 21 Career Mode: The Big Changes That Make This Year’s Soccer Sim a Winner

Over the years, Electronic Arts has been criticized for the lack of updates to its fabled FIFA career mode.

Minecraft was already the perfect activity for quarantine, and when version 1.16 brought an update to the nether in June, many fans began punching trees again to see the changes for themselves. But as big as the new biomes in the nether were, they’re small potatoes compared to what Mojang announced at Minecraft Live on Oct. 3: the next big update fans have been requesting for years. That’s right — Minecraft 1.17 will finally make changes to caves! In fact, the “Caves and Cliffs” update, as it’s called, uses alliteration to include the mountain biome modifications that Minecraft Live attendees…

PS5 X Button Changes How Players Confirm and Cancel in Japan

In a somewhat strange move, it seems that the PS5 will make the “X” button the standard selection input across all regions. This information originates from Japanese media outlets who have had the chance to preview the PS5’s UI and other features. Their reports find that the “X” button is now used for any confirmation or selection inputs on the PS5. While that may not sound like much of a story to any Western PlayStation gamers who have been using that button to confirm selections for years now, it comes as quite a shock to Japanese gamers who have used…

Utopia: How the US Remake Changes the UK Show’s Most Controversial Sequence

Warning: Contains Utopia plot details (original and remake) Compare the openings of the original Utopia and the US remake, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that the new version had softened the show’s hard edges. Right out of the gates, the 2013 UK original kicks off with a series of murders. In the aptly named Doomsday Comics shop, a pair of assassins cosh one man with a metal pipe, and gas another two men and a child to death. Before we know anything about Utopia’s story or its characters, we’re confronted by unsettling violence. Beware, is the message, nobody is safe here. That…
