WandaVision Goes Full Modern Family In Episode 7 First Look

So you just used your Mind Stone-saturated witch powers to expand the hexagonal barrier further around your false reality entrapping a New Jersey town. We’ve all been there. Or at least that’s what Wanda Maximoff thinks in the latest clip from WandaVision episode 7. In advance of WandaVision episode 7, premiering tomorrow on Disney+, Marvel has unveiled a decently lengthy first look at the episode. The reveals therein are vast. For starters, it’s clear that Wanda is experiencing a bit of a magical hangover from her Halloween barrier expansion. The clip also makes clear that Wanda is not going to…

How Raya and the Last Dragon Became the First Disney Movie Made at Home

In the nearly 100 years since Walt Disney Animation Studios’ founding, it’s safe to say there never was a sight like the one facing animator Paul Briggs last March. For it was on a fateful early spring morning that the order finally came down: Raya and the Last Dragon would move its entire production—which had begun the very same month—to working from home. “I still remember the day where everybody is like, ‘We’re going home, we’re going to start building this thing from home,’” Briggs says. “And the animators were kind of walking out with their computers. Technology was scanning…

After a year away due to the pandemic, Marvel Studios is finally kicking off Phase 4 of its ongoing, expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe with…a sitcom. WandaVision, which premieres Friday (Jan. 15) on Disney+, stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as the supernaturally powerful Wanda Maximoff and the equally enhanced synthezoid Vision, with the newly married couple navigating life in suburban Westview, a black and white setting right out of classic half-hour comedies like The Dick van Dyke Show or Bewitched, complete with live audience. But since Vision was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Wanda was not just…

Why Wonder Woman’s Real Origin Story Lies in First Wave Feminism

This holiday season, one of the few bright spots for families unable to go to theaters—and even those who did—was Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984. An ambitious and vibrantly colored celebration of heroism in all its forms, including those that don’t end in fistfights, it’s a superhero movie that’s won as many fans as detractors. But while basking in the new spectacle is well and good, it’s also worth considering how it came to be. For even in this HBO Max tentpole, one can still see how the feminist movement of the early 20th century is grafted into the very…

Alien TV Series Will Take Xenomorph to Earth for First Time

In space no one can hear you scream, but they will certainly hear you stream if Disney and FX have anything to say about it. Indeed, midway through Thursday’s Disney presentation to investors, FX chief John Landgraf dropped the bombshell that H.G. Giger’s peculiar Star-Beast is finally making it to Earth in an Alien television series! “FX is moving quickly to bring audiences the first television series based on one of the greatest science fiction horror classics ever made,” Landgraf said. “Alien will be helmed by Fargo and Legion’s Noah Hawley stepping into the creative/executive producer chair, and FX is…

Wonder Woman 1984: First Sequel Reactions Are In

While the world is still a few weeks away from seeing Wonder Woman 1984, the first members of the press have now seen the film. While they have been sworn to secrecy until December 15th, when the embargo lifts on full-on reviews, we are getting some initial reactions to the WB sequel, and they are positive. From Den of Geek’s Kayti Burt (um, me)… #WW1984 made me cry several times—sometimes, in the most unexpected of places. It's the only kind of (superhero) movie I have time for right now: one that can still see beauty in our broken world, and…

Marvel’s Deadpool 3 is the First Step Towards X-Men in the MCU

After hearing very little about it for some time after Disney bought and absorbed the 20th Century Fox movie studio, Deadpool 3 now seems to be moving forward again. As reported last week, Marvel Studios and star/producer Ryan Reynolds have tapped sisters Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin (Bob’s Burgers) to pen the next Deadpool movie after meeting with a number of writers (Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the first two, seem to be out of the picture at this point). Deadpool 3 will be the first film about the Merc with a Mouth to be produced under the…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 16 Review: The First Adventure!

This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Kid Donald and Della are the best. The absolute freaking best. Donald’s grumpy grunge boy attitude, Della’s infectious adventuring spirit, they’re both wonderful contrasts to each other that make this episode a blast. Now normally I’m not a big fan of “what if character but they are kid/baby.” Oh sure it’s a license to print money for most franchises but it often lacks a soul. Not here though. DuckTales is too good for that. This isn’t just a MORE kid-fied version of the DuckTales you know, it’s a chance to see your favorite characters experience a huge…

What Makes Eden Netflix’s First “Japanese Original Anime”?

Earlier this week, Netflix re-released the promising trailer for Eden, a science fiction anime series coming to the streamer in May 2021. The four-episode, Japanese-language series is set thousands of years in the future in a robot city known as “Eden 3.” When two farming robots accidentally awaken a human baby girl from stasis during a routine assignment, they begin to question everything they thought they knew about the myth of humanity and decide to raise the child secretly on their own. Great premise, right? Well, the production has some great creative talent to drive it too. Eden comes from…

Mortal Kombat 11’s Rambo Pays Homage to Your Favorite First Blood Movie Moments

Back in 2011, Mortal Kombat 9’s DLC run came to an end with the first downloadable guest character in the franchise’s history, the classic slasher Freddy Krueger. Many other famous movie characters have followed suit, including Leatherface, Predator, the Xenomorph from Alien, RoboCop, and the Terminator. Now it’s John Rambo’s turn. The First Blood protagonist will hit Mortal Kombat 11 alongside Rain and Mileena. While we thought Rambo’s teaser announcement trailer from earlier this month would be all we’d see of the action hero in the game, we’ve learned that NOTHING IS OVER! NOTHING! YOU DON’T JUST TURN IT OFF!…

First Look at Animaniacs Reboot

We’re a month away from getting Animaniacs back and it’s not a moment too soon. Yakko, Wacko, and Dot have been missing since the late-90s and, honestly, it was probably more due to fatigue than anything else. Sometimes you need to rest a property, then bring it back down the line. Animaniacs is a very welcome return, but at the same time, we don’t want it to be too different. More specifically, it doesn’t need to be too different. Add a new splash of paint and modernize it without straying too far, but keep the soul the same. Things were…

Supernatural Gets Its First Wood Nymph

This article contains spoilers for Supernatural season 15 episode 14 “Last Holiday.” If you’re a fan of fantasy, you’ve probably heard of a wood nymph, or Dryad, before. Many of us will have first met them in C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, where they appear as the female spirits of the trees, but their history goes back much further than that, to Greek mythology. There are lots of nymphs in Greek mythology; they’re minor deities associated with different parts of nature. They look after everything from wells, lakes, and springs, to beaches, pastures, and cooling breezes. Water nymphs of various…

American Gods: Shadow Moon Ascends in First Season 3 Trailer

We haven’t heard from the American Gods universe in awhile. In fact, it’s been over a year and a half since season 2 concluded and the show went through another round of … say it with us: behind the scenes drama. Well the fine folks at Starz have apparently decided that we’ve waited long enough. During the show’s appearance at New York Comic Con, producers unveiled the first real footage of season 3 as part of an exciting new teaser. You can watch the 90-second clip below.  There’s always a lot to unpack in just about every new bit of…
