This year brings with it the end of an era. No, not Avengers: Endgame nor Star Wars: Episode IX. Come May, The Big Bang Theory will air its final episode ever, bringing the screen antics of Leonard, Penny, Sheldon, and company to a close. While twelve seasons and 268 episodes might not quite rank Big Bang as the longest running sitcom of all time, the Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady created series is up there....

The Pokémon video games are largely based around finding a variety of fantastical looking creatures, capturing them inside pocket-sized balls and then making them fight each other. As such, it’s probably fair to say that no one honestly expects the epitome of realism from the franchise. But even the most outlandish games set themselves a certain level of logic in relation to the real world that they must stick to in order to maintain the player’s suspension of disbelief and throughout the many generations of Pokémon games, there have been more than a few instances where this logic has been stretched, broken or outright ignored....
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Black Panther and the solo adventures of T’Challa ever since he committed grand larceny with Captain America: Civil War. The hype was real and inescapable, especially once headlines started rolling in about Black Panther breaking ticket sale records and becoming the highest-rated superhero movie on Rotten Tomatoes ever. Part of what makes Black Panther and his home nation of Wakanda so cool is the bleeding-edge technology that fuels the African superpower, all of it tied to the rare metal vibranium....

Video games and superheroes seem like the perfect combination on paper. Both mediums serve as an audience power fantasy (to a certain extent) so it seems like translating one to the other should be a fairly straightforward task. However, this is seldom the case. For some reason, games developers really seem to struggle to adapt our favorite comic heroes into compelling gaming experiences, and as a result, the genre is littered with piles of terrible titles....

As of July 2021, Facebook’s largest user demographic is 18.8% male users aged 25-34 years and the next largest at 13.8% is male users aged 18-24 years.

The Disney Channel was a television network that was created in order to provide family-friendly TV at all hours of the day, and has been going strong for a very long time. As a result, it has aired a huge amount of content over that time and helped to create an incredibly long list of stars that went on to do big things. Some of the actors they featured in prominent roles no longer take part in the business, sometimes because of trouble that they’ve gotten into....
In a modern world filled with fairy tale characters, it’s inevitable that some rules of logic aren’t going to apply. For seven seasons, Once Upon A Time left fans constantly scratching their heads and occasionally venting frustrations on social media. Whether the events in question took place in the Enchanted Forest of the series’ story book or in its cheesily named little hamlet of Storybrooke, Maine, viewers tried to put the pieces together to make sense of whatever confusing plot twist the writers threw their way....

Captain Marvel already boasts a lot of comic book readers as fans. Now, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who might not be familiar with the character are getting their introduction in the form of Carol Danvers. She’s not the first person to hold the title - far from it. She’s actually sixth in line in Marvel Comics. One of the characters to hold the title before her, and one we just got a movie version of as well, is Monica Rambeau....
With Marvel Studios taking a back seat at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, it was DC Entertainment’s time to shine. While the company has struggled to engineer a shared superhero universe of their own, this past weekend brought promising footage for a number of upcoming DC projects, along with an entirely new branding for the franchise as a whole. Although fans have long been referring to the series of interconnected movies as the DCEU (or DC Extended Universe), this title was never officially recognized by the company....
American Horror Story repeatedly ties itself up in so many ridiculous knots you would think the last thing Ryan Murphy would want to do is further expand its tangled web. And yet after much speculation the showrunner confirmed back in 2014 that each chapter of the horror anthology does indeed inhabit the same shared universe. With the recent 30-second trailer for My Roanoke Nightmare interlinking all six seasons, Murphy still seems committed to this ambitious idea....
When it comes to cool jobs, few things have captured the public consciousness like the spy. The intrigue and danger of a spy’s life makes for great fiction so it’s no surprise that spies have infiltrated every area of popular culture. Even series that don’t take place in the modern era have spy themes to them - take Varys in Game of Thrones. That being said, Varys isn’t strictly a spy, but rather a spymaster so until we get a spin-off focusing on Varys little birds, we won’t be seeing any entries from Westeros on this list....
While virtual reality is still a relatively niche way to play games, systems like the PSVR, Oculus Quest 2, Vive Index, and more are seeing their user bases grow each year. A number of genres have seen new life in virtual reality, but horror has seemed to be one of the most natural fits for the technology. Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse may be facing some marketing stumbles (via New York Times), but it’s still a better time than ever to be a fan of virtual reality....
Making a movie can often feel like a minefield, as it’s so hard to produce a film without there being one issue in the narrative or direction. Fans on Reddit movies forums have different ideas about what instantly pulls them out of the experience. Reddit movie fans love to talk about what they hate about movies, and when a movie is successful, those fans can really cut loose on what didn’t work for them....
TV shows are alive with the sound of music. While shows going back to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Simpsons have had musical episodes in the past, lately every show seems to be jumping on the trend. Musical episodes aren’t just relegated to shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Glee any more, and with the success of Hamilton and La La Land it makes sense. Musicals are, as Mugatu would say, so hot right now....
