How X of Swords Changed the Marvel Universe Future of the X-Men

After 22 chapters, Marvel’s massive X-Men crossover event, X of Swords has come to a close, and with it, the Dawn of X era. The story touched every book in the X-Men family and brought us answers to a few of the lingering questions that were casually tossed at the audience during House of X/Powers of X. But X of Swords asked more questions than it answered. And heading into the next phase of X-Mastermind Jonathan Hickman and the rest of the magnificent team of X-Men creators’ big plan, that’s a very good thing. To set the stage going into…

What The Mandalorian Means for Ahsoka Tano’s Future in Star Wars

Despite never appearing in the flesh in any of the movies, former Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters in Star Wars. A hero in every sense of the word, Ahsoka’s journey spans almost the entire film saga, just in animated form. First introduced as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice in The Clone Wars animated series, Ahsoka quickly became one of the main protagonists of the series, as we watched her grow as both a Jedi and a commander who led clone forces for the Republic. And even though her time with the Jedi came to an…

In Star Trek: Discovery’s New Future, Franchise History Still Matters

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for “Forget Me Not.” For back-to-back Star Trek projects, director Hanelle Culpepper has been given scripts that require filming on recreated versions of Trek sets that were last seen in the 1990s, more than 20 years ago. First, Culpepper filmed the Picard premiere’s opening scene on The Next Generation‘s iconic Ten Forward. And, now, in Discovery Season 3, Culpepper got the chance to shoot in the Trill Caves of Mak’ala, first and last seen on Deep Space Nine. Interestingly, in both Culpepper’s Picard episode “Remembrance” and in Discovery’s “Forget Me Not,” memories, dreams,…

The Mandalorian: Bryce Dallas Howard Proves She Has a Big Future with Star Wars

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Director Bryce Dallas Howard’s two episodes of The Mandalorian — last year’s “Sanctuary” and season 2’s “The Heiress” — show her deep knowledge of what makes Star Wars tick. In particular, she knows how to deftly deploy the influences that make up the saga’s backbone. Star Wars began as a patchwork of classic sci-fi stories that inspired George Lucas. He originally wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie but couldn’t secure the rights, which is why it’s such a big influence on the original films. Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress is another…

What Does Future State Mean for the DC Universe?

It’s somehow almost 2021, which means the DC Universe is about to enter its Future State, the big two month crossover that kicks off the new year by pausing its regular line, and diving deep into the wild, varied timelines and parallel universes for new angles from fresh creators. And we are happy to have your exclusive first look at the February covers and solicitations for the Justice League family of books. Since half the fun of solicits is trying to piece together what’s happening in the book from the 50 words and a cover, we decided to engage in…

How Xbox One Shaped the Future of Console Gaming

I never owned an Xbox One, and to be honest, I’ve never really regretted that decision, even as I prepare to get my hands on the Xbox Series X. In some ways, the legacy of the Xbox One is defined by shortcomings. Microsoft’s infamously botched reveal of the console was lowlighted by the console’s investment in the now-defunct Kinect peripheral as well as its apparent dependence on a constant internet connection. And even though Microsoft addressed most of these issues over time, the tech company faced one problem it never entirely solved: an inability to consistently deliver compelling exclusives. From…

Why PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Will Drive the Future of Gaming Graphics (and Not PC)

If push came to shove, I’d choose my PC over a PS5 or Xbox Series X over the next five years or so. It just comes down to personal preferences. I love mods, I love a mouse and keyboard, I love being able to relatively easily access decades of PC gaming history, and I’m excited about the increased support of the PC platform by studios like Sony and Sega as well as Microsoft’s commitment to bringing most of their games to PC via Game Pass. You may notice that I didn’t mention graphics: one of the cornerstones of most PC…

Why Fan Response to the Back to the Future Sequels Changed

In his original review for Back to the Future Part II, Roger Ebert (the Alpha and Omega of film criticism) called the movie “an exercise in goofiness, an excursion into various versions of the past and future that is so baffling that even the characters are constantly trying to explain it to each other.” Although his review was largely a positive one, his sentiments echoed those of audiences who felt that Part II was an exercise in contrivance — one marked by baffling character choices (Marty’s sudden aversion to being called “chicken,” every line reading Thomas F. Wilson does as…

Back to the Future: Why You’ll Never See More Eric Stoltz Marty McFly Footage

Here’s why you won’t see more of the infamous Eric Stoltz footage any time soon. For Back to the Future fanatics, the Holy Grail of Hill Valley is footage from the five weeks that Eric Stoltz starred as Marty McFly. Stoltz, an actor who has proven his comedic chops in recent years through his work in the Noah Baumbach films Kicking & Screaming and Mr. Jealousy, delivered a performance that was reportedly too intense for how filmmaker Robert Zemeckis envisioned the character, and was subsequently replaced by Michael J. Fox (who filmed Family Ties concurrently). While some stills of Stoltz…

Looking to The Future of the DC Universe

The beauty of telling stories in a multiverse is the infinite possibility offered by the infinite places and infinite times to set those stories in. DC’s embrace of their multiverse has historically been one of its strongest features, but Crisis on Infinite Earths muted that ability for decades after, and only recently have comics creators started to enthusiastically dive into the concept again. And with Dark Nights: Death Metal wailing towards its conclusion, it looks like DC is set to go head first into the Bleed again. Future State is the next big DC Comics event. Following the conclusion of…

Link Tank: How Hades Set the Standards for Future Roguelike Games

Hades, the newest roguelike action RPG from Supergiant Games, has cracked the code on how to make a great roguelike game. “You don’t actually play as Hades in Hades. Instead, you play as Zagreus, the god of the underworld’s son. Zagreus wants to escape Hell, but his progress is stopped by supernatural foes, creatures of myth, and the like. If he dies by their hand, Zagreus is promptly sent back to the house of Hades, resetting his progress.” Read more at Inverse. It’s the spookiest month of the year!

George Takei Narrates Hope for the Future

George Takei has lived through cataclysmic times, but he’s never given up his hope for a better future. You can see this sense of hope in his choices of projects, whether it’s the vision of Gene Roddenbery in Star Trek or in his most recent project, narrating two stories by Ken Liu for Serial Box. “Many of my friends are saying, ‘This is cataclysmic, what we’re living through. It’s dystopian, everything being destroyed, this is the end of the earth,’” he says. “I tell them, ‘No, we go through many cataclysms.’ And I tell them about my childhood.” As a…

Future Bethesda Games Like Elder Scrolls 6 Could Still Release on PS5 on a “Case-by-case Basis”

The news that Xbox had purchased ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, and all of its properties shook the games industry this morning and seemed to completely change the next-gen landscape. The $7.5 billion purchase has not only increased the number of studios under Xbox’s banner to 23 but also given Microsoft ownership over some of the biggest game franchises ever created.  The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and the upcoming Starfield — they all belong to Xbox now. With the approaching release of the Xbox Series X and Series S and the start of another next-gen console war with Sony, the…

The Future of DC Comics Doesn’t Include Another Reboot

As part of DC’s Fandome, Publisher Jim Lee answered a number of fan questions in prerecorded videos from his home studio. One of those answers gave some pretty definitive information about DC’s upcoming publishing schedule. “There won’t be a project called 5G or a big reboot or whatever,” Lee told the remote audience. Lee was responding to speculation about DC’s rumored crossover that might have done everything from replacing all of the current big heroes with newer characters to a hard “back to 1939” reboot for the line, depending on which corners of the internet you mined. Instead, Lee told…

NVIDIA RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090 GPUs Showcase the Future of Gaming Graphics

Nvidia has confirmed the first details for their GeForce RTX 30 series of GPUs, and the specs and prices of these upcoming graphic cards are already sending shockwaves throughout the industry. Let’s start with the low-end GeForce RTX 3070. With its 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, 1.73 GHz boost clock, and 5,888 CUDA Cores, the 3070 more than justifies its relatively low $499 price point. You’ll have to wait until October to actually buy one (or at least receive it), but the card’s specs make it a respectable upgrade at an equally reasonable price. If you’re looking for something a little…
