The season finale of Task aired this past Sunday, ending with a suspenseful and emotional climax for Brandis, played by Ruffalo. Though Robbie Prendergrast, portrayed by Pelphrey, died in the episode before, his earlier actions proved crucial to how the season concluded.
Despite a rocky start and questions about the direction of the DC Universe, James Gunn’s first film as head of DC has performed better on streaming services than both Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam and the latest Marvel movies, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts.
Season 2 of Nobody Wants This saw my worries from the first season start to come true – with a twist. This season, Adam Brody’s Noah and Kristen Bell’s Joanne directly confronted the question of whether Joanne would convert to Judaism. After deciding to stay together, this issue was bound to come up, and it nearly tore them apart. However, they ultimately decided to remain a couple, and a conversation Joanne had with Esther played a key role in that decision.

The filmmakers intentionally chose a less traditionally muscular physique for David Corenswet’s Superman. Corenswet’s trainer, Paolo Mascitti, explained to Business Insider that they wanted him to look “more like a farm boy than a complete bodybuilder.” Corenswet later told Geek Culture that he and director James Gunn were aiming for a look that was approachable, suggesting a strong, but not overly bulky, “farm boy” build.
As a huge fan, I was so excited for season 2 of Wednesday, and honestly, it delivered! It had everything I loved about the first season – Jenna Ortega was amazing as Wednesday, Tim Burton’s style was as wonderfully dark and spooky as ever, and the mix of monsters, mystery, and teenage drama was perfect. But, and it’s a big but, it also fell into some of the same problems the first season had. It was a bit frustrating, honestly!
The deaths of key figures like Milo, the Russian gang leader, and Warden Kareem at the end of season 3 have left significant power vacuums in Kingstown. While several new characters have emerged, one stands out as potentially the most dangerous.
The upcoming Wonder Woman will have a fresh look and voice, marking a departure from previous film versions, as James Gunn establishes his vision for the DC Universe. Diana of Themyscira is expected to be a key character in the new DCU, alongside heroes like Superman and Batman, but with her own distinct identity.
Although the movie initially earned a reasonable profit, it received mostly unenthusiastic reviews when it was released for streaming. The mid-2000s were full of popular found-footage films like Paranormal Activity, and audiences were starting to grow tired of the genre, making it hard for new films to stand out. Over time, however, As Above, So Below has gained a better reputation. Now, eleven years later, people are starting to appreciate the movie’s original and thought-provoking story. It’s unique because of its interesting location and blend of psychological horror and symbolism, setting it apart from other found-footage films of that era. Looking back, it’s a film that dared to be different within the genre and makes for a great watch as Halloween approaches.
I recently got a look at the upcoming MG 1/100 Full Armor ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka, and it’s really impressive! It brings this powerful mobile suit to life in a way we haven’t seen before, and follows some early teasers. As part of the Master Grade line, it’s incredibly posable and accurately recreates the look of the heavy armor from the anime. It’s scheduled for release next year, and I think it’s great that this often-overlooked mobile suit is finally getting the attention it deserves.
