Hannibal Season 4 Would Gender Flip Some Characters According to Mads Mikkelsen

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen has been discussing his hopes for a potential fourth season of the show just weeks after its creator, Bryan Fuller, revealed how he would approach reviving the serial killer drama. In Fuller’s adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter book series, which was canceled five years ago at NBC, Mikkelsen starred as the titular character alongside Hugh Dancy as Will Graham.

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla The seemingly simple act of choosing the gender of Assassin Creed Valhalla‘s protagonist, Eivor, has proven to be a surprising source of controversy in recent months. While some of that controversy has been fueled by the misogynistic concerns of the Gamergate crowd, the more fascinating story in this instance is a debate over whether the male or female version of Eivor is the canonical way to play the game. To be honest, I thought that this debate was settled months ago when Ubisoft revealed in July that you’d be able to…

From Mulan to She’s The Man—A History of Gender-Bending Movies

New DVD release, , , ,
A young woman pretends to be a man, fearful of what could happen if her deception is found out, but willing to risk everything to keep her father safe. This dramatic tension at the heart of Mulan is both the story’s main draw and the narrative element that makes it one of the most feminist and fascinating stories Disney has ever told. As in so many other gender-bending movies, Mulan’s plan starts out straightforward enough: pretend to be a man in order to keep her father home and alive. It snowballs from there, as she must keep up with training,…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will let you change the gender of protagonist Eivor at any time. “You can decide to play male or female, [but] you are allowed to change, at any time, your skill tree or the gender of your character—you can swap at any time.” game director Eric Baptizat says in an interview with GamesRadar. “It was important to make this option available for the player. It’s something that the player can decide for the way they want to play, because it has some impact on the narrative—but it’s not two different stories. It’s the…
