In an interview Thursday with EW promoting the new series, however, Hiddleston and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that the MCU did try to quit Loki several times throughout the franchise’s run. The God of Mischief was marked for death (for good) not once, but twice in the MCU. As was previously reported, Loki was never intended to make it out of Thor: The Dark World alive. Loki’s death at the hands of Malekith and the Dark Elves was supposed to be permanent, closing off a story arc that began in the original Thor and continued with Loki as the big bad of the first team up film, The Avengers....

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 11 “Don’t mysterious ways me; you just exploded a man.” Grammar faux pas aside, Joan Osborne’s 1995 release raises a philosophical question that to this point has gleaned no satisfactory answer – “What if God was one of us?” I’m not sure we’ve gained much meaningful insight to this question, but Lucifer has a lot of fun exploring that scenario while at the same time addressing much of the pain with which so many of the characters continue to struggle....

But that wasn’t always the case. Back in the late 2000s, the fledging Marvel Studios was still scrambling to establish itself. No movie better encapsulates that scramble than 2010’s Iron Man 2. Although financially successful, the movie disappointed fans with its slapdash script and lack of focus. According to an insider speaking with Vulture, the messy movie fans saw on screen reflected the frantic process of making Iron Man 2....

Manifest Season 3 Episode 1 To no one’s surprise, Manifest jumped right back into the action in the season 3 premiere, “Tailfin,” and to its credit, it didn’t spend a lot of time explaining changes that were made to the dynamic of the investigation into Flight 828, opting instead to just show us. Despite continuing to rely a bit too heavily on the narrative conveniences the callings provide, the action continues to move forward, and this opening episode in particular sets up several compelling storylines in very solid fashion....

Manifest Season 3 Episode 3 This week’s Manifest episode had a lot going for it. It had government intrigue (arguably the most fulfilling aspect of the serial story over the past three seasons), a satisfying puzzle-style calling, and a return of the deep historical mythology surrounding Al-Zuras. Some might argue there were too many balls in the air at once, but the overall effect was pretty solid nonetheless. It’s too early in the season to expect answers, but there’s always been a question of what we’re supposed to focus on with so much to speculate about....

Manifest, the canceled NBC series that was given a second chance at life by Netflix just dropped the first 10 episodes of its fourth and final season. Answers to long-held questions have been pouring in, many of which refer to a “divine consciousness” that provides an explanation for the prophetic callings that the characters experience, among other things. To say the fan favorite TV show took viewers on a whirlwind of a trip, hinting towards a final destination, would be an understatement....

In recent years, the director has become a target for insecure superhero movie fans, after he compared the genre to “theme park rides” instead of cinema. While these fans and their army of twitter bots have done nothing to diminish Scorsese’s reputation, a new challenger has entered the arena of public opinion: a casket salesperson. Twitter user @buyerasers has uncovered a review of Scorsese’s 2019 movie The Irishman, which savages the largely-praised gangster epic for its inaccurate portrayal of the burial business....

Microsoft Power Platform Streams The four Power streams that constitute MPP are: Low Code-Applications (Power Apps)Business Intelligence (Power BI)Process Automations (Power Automate)Chatbots (Power Virtual Agents)...

It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series. The game is fought against two teams, terrorists and Counter-Terrorists. CS: GO can be played in nine game modes. However, the most common game mode revolves around the terrorist team planting a bomb while the Counter-Terrorist team has to stop them. CS: GO has matchmaking support that allows players to play on servers with each other in real-time. There are also community-hosted servers with game modes and custom maps....

Ms. Marvel Episode 6 Although Ms. Marvel’s final scene before the credits will likely have the biggest stakes for the MCU, the end-credit scene has more immediate importance. So before we let mutant madness overtake us, let’s take a moment to examine the end-credit scene and what it means for our favorite hero from New Jersey. Like the comic books that inspired it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe gets a lot of mileage out of letting its characters meet each other....

They did pretty damn well. The fourteen-episode season was well-received overall, even if it had some growing pains. The biggest issue was that the jokes were too rapid-fire and felt unnatural. Lines weren’t given time to breathe and things felt so overly scripted that you never got to hear the genuine laughter of the other riffers. Otherwise, the season had a lot to offer, including one of the all-time best episodes in Cry Wilderness....

“Wakanda changed things, forever,” Williams (Dominique Thorne) says at the start of the commercial, as we see images of ships flying over the capital of the fictional nation. The commercial then cuts to a less fantastical location, Boston, where Williams is tinkering in her workshop. As Williams asks the viewer “So how will you share your brilliance with the world,” the commercial intercuts images of a young girl engineering something with her friends....

The earlier series in question is the short-lived Counterpart, which, despite having only two seasons on Starz, gained a very loyal following, some of whom question the show’s absence from our Best Sci Fi TV Shows of the Past 15 Years. In Counterpart, Simmons played two versions of the same man in two parallel universes linked by an underground tunnel in Berlin, a circumstance that arose under mysterious circumstances during the Cold War era in an alternate version of our own history....

In its original form, film noir was an anomaly: a dark rain cloud cast in silhouette across the otherwise sunny landscape of 1940s American pop culture. At a time when censors insisted on black and white morality, and clean, unambiguous entertainment, noir was a subversive sneer, reflecting the cynicism bubbling underneath. As with the often doomed fools who led movies like Double Indemnity (1944), Out of the Past (1947), and In a Lonely Place (1950), noir filmmakers saw a fatally flawed world outside the studios’ backlots, and even in the glow of post-war America....

So is the Nintendo Switch OLED worth that investment? That really depends on your situation, preferences, and expectations. To the shock of absolutely nobody who has been following the Switch OLED so far, the biggest difference between the upgraded console and the base Switch is indeed the OLED’s 7-inch screen. Not only is that a welcome size increase from the base Switch’s 6.2-inch screen, but as you can see in this comparison shot below (which was taken from a brave YouTuber whose recent unboxing and comparison video may not be long for this digital world), it’s actually the enhanced clarity you get from the new OLED screen that will probably prove to be a bigger selling point than the size of the screen alone....

No Sudden Move is a heist film, but don’t go in expecting Ocean’s 11, in spite of the all-star cast. This is a theft worth savoring, and Soderbergh gives the players room to breathe. Of course, any of those breaths can be a character’s last, which becomes apparent very quickly. Most of the other information trickles out like blood from exit wounds, as the film captures the most muted tones of classic film noir....

Outlander Season 3, Episode 1 We don’t talk enough about time, pacing, and chronology in television — probably because most TV shows make the same, standard choices when it comes to time in their storytelling. Outlander, as both a time travel show and a ambitiously-run prestige drama, is one of the few exceptions, playing with not only its characters’ perceptions of time, but also its viewers’. This has never been more apparent than in the Season 3 premiere, which told its story in two separate timelines, set centuries apart, paced in wildly different ways....

Tom Christie doesn’t just bring his family to Fraiser’s Ridge. He brings beef from Ardsmuir prison and controversial religious ideas. Alongside this, Claire is continuing to experiment with 18th Century replacements for modern remedies and techniques. This episode introduces Claire experimenting with ether, but what is the historical significance of both? Though the premiere rightfully excluded tangential details about religion and politics in the 18th Century in order to focus on the fictional story, there are a few pieces of historical context about the Freemasons that may help Outlander fans better understand the episode....
