What the Candyman Ending Means for a Sequel and His Immortal Legend

This article contains Candyman spoilers. It is an exquisite final image. Swarmed in a symphony of bees and standing triumphant over his latest victim—a police officer sprawled out in an alleyway’s gutter—Candyman looks joyful. He’s the monster who’s haunted the ruins of what was once Cabrini-Green for more than a hundred years, and the legend who frightened children and caused lovers to cling closer in their rapture, and now he’s at last returned to his flock. Only this time Candyman is saving the woman who summoned him instead of destroying her. As Teyonah Parris’ Brianna Cartwright looks on, her salvation…

Green Lantern: What Guy Gardner Means for the HBO Series

When HBO Max announced its Green Lantern live-action television series, speculation ran rampant on how the DC galactic superhero mantle would be handled after Ryan Reynolds starred in the notorious 2011 film flop. However, that speculation has just narrowed, with the casting of headliner Finn Wittrock. The catch? Rather than playing famous hero Hal Jordan, Wittrock will instead star as machismo-addled antihero Guy Gardner, who will eventually be joined by other ring-wielders from the comic lore. It’s an intriguing development that will undoubtedly define the tone of the series. Who is Guy Gardner? While that might sound like an easy…

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier End Credits Scene Explained: What it Means for the MCU

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 spoilers. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is over and it ended with one doozy of a post-credits scene. Sharon Carter is back, and she’s apparently flipped on the United States.  At the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 6, Sharon finally gets her pardon. Senator Government Official (no, seriously, he’s credited as “Government Official” in the credits), the unnamed, definitely not Senator Kelly guy who has been moving the plot forward all show, sits in an extremely insecure presumably Intelligence Committee hearing room and offers…

Invincible: What That Big Episode 1 Twist Means for the Show

This article contains spoilers for the Invincible comic and Amazon Prime series. Thanks to more than a decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, post-credit scenes are a matter of course in superhero film and TV properties. They’ve become so pervasive and routine that, at this point, it would take something truly revelatory to shock viewers. Well…here comes Amazon Prime’s Invincible and a certain Nolan Grayson a.k.a. Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). This animated series, adapted from Robert Kirkman’s comic of the same name, opts to not only include a post-credit scene at the end of its first episode…it includes damn near a…

The Walking Dead: What Mercer Means for the Show

This article contains potential spoilers for THE WALKING DEAD Season 11. If one needed a firm indication that AMC’s The Walking Dead is on a quick collision course with its climax, the announced casting of fan-favorite character Mercer should certainly suffice. Michael James Shaw has landed the role, which he will field on the upcoming eleventh and final season of the franchise-spawning series. While there have been major divergences from Robert Kirkman’s comic source material, it does seem that Mercer will be as crucial to the approaching endgame of the series as he was to the comic. The tweeted official…

Here’s what the ending could mean for the show’s future. “You can almost imagine the pitch meeting for Ginny & Georgia: ‘What if we do Gilmore Girls, only with more sex and Lorelai’s a criminal mastermind?’ By the end of the 10-episode first season of the new Netflix series, that’s basically exactly what the drama has provided.” Read more at Thrillist.

What DC’s Infinite Frontier Means for Batman and Joker

James Tynion IV has been writing Batman in some form or another for his entire career. He began his time at DC Comics by writing backup stories for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman during the New 52 era, fleshing out the history of the villainous Court of Owls before landing his first owl-centric series titled Talon. Tynion was one of the lead writers on Batman Eternal and Batman & Robin Eternal, two weekly series that mainlined years of Batman continuity back into the New 52. And following the Rebirth reset, he got a long run with the Bat family…

What College Football’s Return to Gaming Means for NCAA and Madden Fans

During a week in which the entire football focus is squarely on the biggest game of the NFL season, EA Sports called a trick play few were expecting: the publisher is developing a new college football game for the first time since 2013. All of a sudden, buzz shifted from whether Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers will beat Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday — briefly, anyway — and squarely on the announced return of college football to gaming. Like Boise State’s epic Statue of Liberty play in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, nobody…

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…

What Control and Hitman 3 Cloud Streaming Means for Nintendo Switch

Leave it to Nintendo to use a previously unannounced Nintendo Direct presentation to reveal that Control and Hitman 3 are coming to Nintendo Switch via a cloud streaming service. While these aren’t the first Nintendo Switch games to support cloud technology (Resident Evil 7 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey beat them to the punch), previous uses of this concept were seen as a dry run test of bigger things to come. Well, it certainly feels like that’s what’s happening right now. So what does this mean for the future of the Nintendo Switch? It could be years before we know the…

Lovecraft Country: What Ruby’s Hillary Davenport Transformation Means

The following contains spoilers for Lovecraft Country. We first meet the body that’ll come to be known as Hillary Davenport in “Whitey’s on the Moon”, the second episode of Lovecraft Country. The woman, Dell (Jamie Neumann), guards Ardham’s village jail food storage with two aggressive hounds, while waxing poetic about those meddling “Blacks.” We only see her for a brief few minutes but her disdain for Tic, Leti, and George is clear. The next time we see her in episode 5, she’s waking up in William Braithwhite’s bed, scared, and confused. When she looks in the mirror, she doesn’t recognize…

Kang the Conqueror: What the New Villain Means for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Jonathan Majors has reportedly been cast as Kang the Conqueror and will make his debut in Ant-Man 3. Considering that Kang is a time traveler, it’s probably to let Paul Rudd know how many decades he has left until he starts showing signs of aging. Other than the fact that Peyton Reed will return to direct, there aren’t many official Ant-Man 3 details yet (it doesn’t even have a release date at the moment), so we don’t know how major Kang’s appearance in this film will be. Is he the full-on villain of the movie? Is he a glorified cameo…

HBO Max describes the series as being loosely based on the real-life adventures of…

The Batman: What Year Two Means for the Dark Knight and Gotham

We finally have our first look at The Batman and it’s safe to say that director Matt Reeves’ new take on the Dark Knight isn’t quite what most of us expected. Introducing a messier and scrappier vigilante than past iterations of the character, the Batman reboot seems to play more like the Bat’s extended fever dream of a city hellscape haunted by serial killers, crime lords, and master thieves than a traditional superhero action movie. And the trailer shows us just how he deals with these demons, as he beats the living crap out of goons, smashes his Batmobile through…
