Could a Castlevania Spinoff Star Trevor Belmont’s Son or Daughter?

This Castlevania article contains spoilers. Castlevania season 4 may be the end of the line for Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard, but it likely won’t be the last Netflix adaptation of the long-running video game franchise. In fact, the streamer is already planning a new series set in the same universe but starring different characters. What form this Castlevania series would take remains a well-kept secret, although a reasonable guess would be that it’ll take place during a different era before or after Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard’s adventures. Konami’s prestige franchise has a timeline that spans hundreds of years,…

Mass Effect 3 Alternate Endings Show What Could Have Been

There’s a degree to which the release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition lives under the shadow of Mass Effect 3‘s controversial ending. If you somehow didn’t know, Mass Effect 3‘s ending is a big part of the reason why some consider it to be one of the most disappointing games of all-time. Even the “Extended Cut” version of the ending BioWare eventually released as DLC has done little to change its reputation as one of the most disappointing finales in any medium. While it’s going to be interesting to see whether or not time has healed those wounds enough to…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Episode 5 Review: Could a Resistance Grow Inside Gilead’s Top Ranks?

This The Handmaid’s Tale review contains spoilers. That ending was earned. Under ordinary circumstances, the un-ironic use of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ over a slo-mo reunion scene would result in disciplinary action from the mawkishness police, but The Handmaid’s Tale gets away with it. This drama has been feel-bad for so long, it’s saved up enough feel-good pennies to splurge on moments just like this one: June and Moira, reunited. Drink it in.  The moment was staged by director Christina Choe with dialled-up emotion and zero edge. A silhouetted Moira emerged from the battlefield smoke like a wartime sweetheart as the love song soared. It…

Invincible: Allen the Alien Could Be Season 2’s Secret Weapon

This article contains major spoilers for Invincible season 1 and potential spoilers for Invincible season 2, based on the comic. The finale of Invincible season 1 was one of the most exhilarating bits of superhero storytelling in some time.  The genre is no stranger to the “son must confront his evil father” plotline, but rarely has any depiction of superhero action felt so visceral or terrifying. Mark Grayson’s struggle (and ultimate failure) to stop his Viltrumite father Nolan led to nearly 20 uninterrupted minutes of super-powered carnage. Hell, Omni-Man literally held his son’s body against a train to use as…

How Black Widow Could Build The MCU’s Future

This Black Widow article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. The Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t do standalone movies—not really. Even the most isolated of MCU narratives have connections to the rest of the fictional universe, and work to set up upcoming stories. Normally, this process may be surprising in precisely how it is executed, but straight-forward in that it is setting up the next story or stories in the MCU. The Black Widow movie, slated for a July release, challenges that obvious structure. It is a prequel centering a hero who is canonically dead in the MCU, which means its strategy…

George A. Romero’s Twilight of the Dead: 13 Directors Who Could Helm the Zombie Sequel

Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero may have left this plane of existence in 2017, but his legacy — the post-apocalyptic zombie movie genre that he created — lives on. According to the THR, Romero was working before his death on Twilight of the Dead, a film that would have been his final statement on the subject and the last installment in the series that included the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1979), Day of the Dead (1985), and others. Now Romero’s widow Suzanne, who has been developing the script that her late husband started…

Star Wars: Could Luke’s Missing Hand Be the Key to a Big Mandalorian Twist?

Luke Skywalker’s unexpected return on The Mandalorian last year reignited fan theories and speculation about the beloved Jedi hero’s involvement in upcoming Star Wars project. Will Mark Hamill’s CGI likeness return for The Mandalorian season 3 with little Grogu in tow? Is he destined to become a character who casts his shadow on all of the upcoming live-action series set after Return of the Jedi? Or was his last-minute rescue in Mando season 2 finale just a cameo designed to shatter the internet? The completely unsatisfying answer is that we simply don’t know what’s next for Luke. We know where…

Son of Kong Could Work in the MonsterVerse

The MonsterVerse lives! Not even a year ago it seemed likely that Godzilla vs. Kong would end up being the final bout in the series of movies that launched back in 2014 with Godzilla. But the surprisingly robust box office success of the titanic prize fight — $407 million at the worldwide box office and counting after four weeks, even with the movie being offered for free until the end of this month on HBO Max — has led Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures to believe there’s still lots of life in this shared universe…. including a possible Son of…

Could The Walking Dead Series Finale Bring Back Rick Grimes?

Few moments in the history of The Walking Dead will be as big as the return of Rick Grimes. Ever since he was transported away to parts unknown by the Civic Republic in season 9, fans have counted down the days until Rick’s upcoming Walking Dead movie, the first in a planned trilogy of films starring everyone’s favorite post-apocalyptic sheriff. For some fans, Rick’s return is the main reason to keep up with The Walking Dead universe of shows, which have slowly been teasing out details regarding where he might’ve disappeared to. While this long-awaited movie still hasn’t started filming…

Line of Duty: Could Jo Davidson End Tommy Hunter’s Legacy For Good?

Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series one to six. Considering that Tommy Hunter has only appeared on screen in four of Line of Duty’s 36 episodes – once in real time, once in a video clip, once in flashback, and once as an unrecognisable bandage-wrapped burns victim – the character casts a long shadow over the police thriller. Whatever and whoever AC-12 has investigated over the years, Tommy’s organised crime group and corrupt officers have been somewhere in the mix, wearing balaclavas, slitting throats and making a mockery of the law.  Though he died in the series two opener, Tommy’s legacy…

What a Walking Dead Negan Spinoff Could Look Like

“P.S. Negan Lives.” Those were the final words written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman in a letter following the conclusion of the comic’s 193rd and final issue. It was a cheeky missive to fans clamoring for confirmation that their favorite character made it through the series unscathed. It was also an acknowledgement from Kirkman that, try as he might, he just can’t seem to quit The Walking Dead’s big bad. Negan could have died at the conclusion of the comic’s major “All Out War” arc, but he didn’t. Kirkman then had him lined up to be shot and…

Could Durge’s Star Wars Return Lead to a Role in The Mandalorian or Book of Boba Fett?

One of Star Wars’ most revered villains from its pre-Disney days of prequel-era stories is poised for a comeback. Durge, the fearsome bounty hunter best known from Genndy Tartakovsky’s 2003-2005 Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries, is set to make his Disney canon debut in the pages of Marvel’s Doctor Aphra #11. And with the upcoming arrival of Tartakovsky’s non-canon Clone Wars series on Disney+, it’s enough to make one speculate that bigger—live-action—plans might be in store for the character. Durge was indeed immensely popular in the defunct Legends continuity of Star Wars in the early 2000s to the point that…

GTA Could Be Banned in Illinois and the Internet Isn’t Having It

If an Illinois lawmaker has their way, then Grand Theft Auto and other violent video games could soon be “banned” in that state. Why? Well, along with the usual moral panic excuses, it seems that Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr. believes GTA could be partially responsible for recent Chicago crime waves. This proposal (House Bill 3531) is actually an amendment to a 2012 law that prohibits the sale of certain video games to minors. Under the new bill, restrictions would be expanded to prevent all sales of what the documents refer to as “violent video games.” In the bill, a…

How Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead Could Nod to Night of the Living Dead’s Greatest Mystery

Zack Snyder‘s career comes full circle with the upcoming Netflix zombie extravaganza Army of the Dead, a film almost two decades in the making. The filmmaker best known for Justice League and Watchmen first cut his teeth on a feature-length project with Dawn of the Dead, Universal Picture’s high-octane remake of the George A. Romero horror classic. A much more action-packed and grim take on Romero’s mall-set zombie shenanigans, the 2004 re-imagining remains Snyder’s best flick. Originally conceived as an even darker follow-up to the Dawn remake before ending up in development hell, Army of the Dead is now the…

Days Gone PC Port Could Highlight Controversial Game’s B-Movie Charms

In a way, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the PlayStation team recently confirmed they’re bringing Days Gone to PC as the first of several new PlayStation ports Not only was the PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn reportedly a tremendous success, but games ranging from Red Dead Redemption 2 to Bayonetta show that PC gamers are eager to buy properly done ports of titles they’ve previously been denied. The PC market has a way to extend the life of a game that more and more developers are finding hard to ignore. Even still, you’re forgiven if hearing the…

Why Diablo 2 Resurrected Could Be a Problem for Diablo 4

The reveal of Diablo 2 Resurrected didn’t exactly catch fans by surprise (the project has been rumored to be in development for a while and was leaked ahead of the announcement), but there’s something undeniably exciting about seeing Blizzard finally revisit what many consider to be the finest ARPG ever made. Even better, much as it was for World of Warcraft Classic, Blizzard and newly acquired developer Vicarious Visions, the team responsible for the brilliant Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake, is committed to preserving the original Diablo 2 experience as much as possible. “This isn’t a remake,”…

Could the Mortal Kombat Reboot Finally Give Us the Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion Fight We Deserve?

The Mortal Kombat reboot movie from Warner Bros. has been a longtime coming. In fact, a fresh start for the film franchise has been in the works since at least 2010 when director Kevin Tancharoen pitched a movie called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth to Warner Bros. That project ended up in development hell, and it was Aquaman director James Wan who next picked up the torch in 2015 as producer, with newcomer Simon McQuoid directing from a script penned by Greg Russo. This is the reboot that you’ll finally get to see on HBO Max on April 16. Ahead of the…

Could Batman Appear in HBO’s Gotham PD Prequel Series?

DC Extended Universe film The Batman is set to debut Robert Pattinson’s all-new Dark Knight at theaters in early 2022, after which it will be complemented on the small screen—under the creative stewardship of the film’s director, Matt Reeves—by HBO Max’s untitled prequel television series focused on the Gotham PD. Yet, while speculation over crossover synergy has been permeating ever since the series was announced, HBO’s Casey Bloys seems to (ever so slightly) open the possibility of an appearance from the Dark Knight himself. The idea that characters from The Batman could appear on the Gotham PD prequel series—which bore…

The Power Rangers Turbo Deleted Scenes That Could Have Saved the Movie

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is, at best, a glorified TV movie. Made when Power Rangers’ popularity was in slow decline after the zenith of the Mighty Morphin days, the film makes no pretense that it’s trying to be any kind of cultural event like the first film attempted to be. Instead, it only half-heartedly tries to bring in a new audience with the addition of kid Ranger Justin and struggles to please hardcore Power Rangers fans. The story –new villain Divatox makes her way to a mystical island to marry an ancient evil and the Rangers have to stop…

Could Wynonna Earp Still Get a Season 5?

As soon as news dropped that Wynonna Earp Season 4 would be the final season of the fan favorite supernatural western to air on Syfy, the next logical question for most fans (including this one) was: could Wynonna Earp Season 5 happen elsewhere? In this age of peak distribution platforms and cult classics revived from the apparent dead for one last hurrah, could there still be a future for Wynonna Earp? Like many things, it mostly depends on money. Before we get too far into this article, it’s important to note that any possible continuation of the Wynonna Earp TV…
