There’s nothing quite like a good lawsuit to fire up public opinion, especially when the lawsuit sounds pretty ridiculous. As an industry that is predicted to hit $91.5 billion in revenue this year, video games have understandably been the target of many lawsuits - from the fiery days of Jack Thompson blaming Grand Theft Auto for mass shootings, to inter-studio battles like The Elder Scrolls developer Bethesda and Scrolls developer Mojang scrapping over the trademark for the word “Scrolls....

It’s no secret that Marvel Studios is expanding their Marvel Cinematic Universe beyond what’s expected of traditional superhero movies. The teaser trailer for Doctor Strange has proven that the studio is embracing the magical elements of the Marvel comics and is ready to unleash it to the world. In a recent interview, director Scott Derrickson and star Benedict Cumberbatch spoke more about Doctor Strange and how the film will be in the vein of the Strange comics....

One more milestone has come Black Panther’s way, as it crosses $700 million at the domestic box office. Not many people could’ve correctly predicted the box office dominance that Black Panther has had this year. The film launched in February with little competition, and the interest in Marvel’s first movie led by a person of color propelled Black Panther over its first weekend, opening to over $200 million. The film hasn’t slowed down much since then, with a current worldwide total of more than $1....

Production and distribution details for Bond 25 have been confirmed. One of Hollywood’s most storied roles is that of MI6 agent James Bond, one that Daniel Craig has been playing for over a decade now. Craig has made four appearances as the British spy, but it has been an up-and-down journey. While some consider Skyfall to be one of the franchise’s best installments regardless of who is playing the character, the turnout of Spectre made Craig ready to walk away....

It is so incredibly easy to get hooked on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and binge the hell out of it. The sad part is, you run out of episodes pretty fast. Currently, the show has six seasons with the seventh scheduled for midseason. Now, if you’re anything like us, and waiting til midseason to get your necessary dose of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is downright impossible, you can always sit down and enjoy some of the show’s best episodes....

Fans can vigorously debate whether or not it’s a good idea for good guys to be fighting each other instead of villains in movies like Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice or Captain America: Civil War, but the movies exist to answer entirely separate questions: “Who would win?” and “What does it look like when they fight?” Civil War in particular has built many of its trailers and TV spots around what looks to be a single gigantic fight sequence between the rival factions of divided Avengers and their respective associates that promises to be the biggest fight between powered/enhanced characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far....

Now that movie fans have returned to a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and the 2015 year in film is winding down, we turn our attention to what 2016 has to offer. In addition to a number of high-profile non-comic book movie releases, 2016 could be the biggest year for superheroes at the multiplex so far. In addition to obvious heavy-hitters Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War, the coming year will also include X-Men: Apocalypse, Suicide Squad, Deadpool, and Doctor Strange, among others....

Back when the 6th-gen iPad mini launched last fall, it became the first of Apple’s tablets to offer a smart volume button orientation feature (shown above.) Now that it’s expanded the rest of the iPad lineup, follow along for how to change iPad volume buttons to match its orientation. Spotted by Matt Birchler, Apple recently added the option to customize the volume buttons on more iPads. In our testing, we’ve seen the change show up with iPadOS 15....

Use of the Chinese Olympics app, MY2022, is mandatory for everyone attending this year’s Olympic Games in Beijing, whether as an athlete or simply watching from the stadium. The app collects sensitive personal data – like passport details, medical data, and travel history – and analysis by security researchers reveals that the code has two security holes that could expose this information … Citizen Lab, which has also played a key role in identifying phones compromised by Pegasus spyware, carried out the analysis....

Dark has finally won a GSL Code S Finals after being Starcraft 2’s best Zerg throughout pretty well the entirety of Legacy of the Void. It has been a rough few years for Zerg in the GSL—the last time the race made the finals of a GSL was over two years ago, when soO lost what was easily his best chance at his first GSL title to an upstart GuMiho....

While it was recently reported that Days Gone won’t feature any difficulty modes, that might not be the case when Sony Bend’s ambitious third-person shooter releases in 2019. Screen Rant recently spoke with studio director Chris Reese at the recent PlayStation Judge’s Week event and learned that the developer is looking into adding difficulty options. Reese said that the game has to have a sense of challenge since it’s core to their creative vision, but that they’re “looking at” additional options for players....

The upcoming Titans TV show from DC has found its Robin in actor Brenton Thwaites. The TV series headed for DC’s own digital platform in 2018 has already found some of its key Teen Titans cast members, adapted from the Teen Titans comic books and animated series following the younger generation of DC heroes and former sidekicks. But the role of Dick Grayson - the former protege of Batman himself - was one of the final pieces of the puzzle for producer Greg Berlanti’s team....

Miller has since released new Tweets in which he backtracks his confirmation of not being in Deadpool 3, reiterates that he wasn’t planned to be included in X-Force, and explains that there aren’t any concrete plans either way for Deadpool 3.

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for The Flash - Fans of The CW’s gallery of DC Comics superheroes know to come into a season premiere, finale, or midseason finale expecting some serious bombshells, and the fan following of The Flash means more eyes typically watch Barry Allen’s twists and turns than any other. Surprisingly, the most recent midseason finale didn’t include any jaw-dropping changes to the status quo, or even the character deaths of the past....

[This is a review of the Black Sails season 3 finale. There will be SPOILERS.] - A frenetic descent into madness is what best describes this incredibly rich and vibrant third season of Black Sails.

Director Travis Knight hopes to bring “heart and humor” to the Transformers franchise with Bumblebee: The Movie. After five installments in the mainline Transformers series, Paramount is preparing to release its first solo film/spinoff of the property. Bumblebee is not only the first spinoff movie in this universe, it’s also the first Transformers movie not directed by Michael Bay. Instead, Knight - director of the acclaimed stop motion animated feature Kubo and the Two Strings - will be taking the helm this time....

The Batman has faced countless enemies… but happiness and marriage with Catwoman may be what destroys him. Or, more specifically, his decision to put his life of pain, torment, grief, and fear behind him now that he’s realized happiness may be within reach. It’s all part of writer Tom King’s ongoing attempt to explore ignored corners of DC’s Dark Knight. And judging by the description of Batman’s story in the coming months, it will be taking Bruce Wayne to places he has never dared go - and showing fans a side of him they may never have thought possible....

It is easy to think of Captain America: Civil War as the “other” movie about traditionally friendly superheroes coming to blows amid the mass-media frenzy surrounding Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. But while Zack Snyder’s dark super-powered beat down is shouldering the gargantuan task of launching a full-scale DC Cinematic Universe, the Russo Brothers’ follow-up to The Winter Soldier carries weighty expectations of its own. The film is not only tasked with adapting one of modern Marvel Comics’ biggest and most-controversial stories into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it must also deliver the kind of character growth and continuity reshaping that (in the minds of some fans) was lacking from Avengers: Age of Ultron....

Whereas Disney/Pixar’s 2006 animated film Cars is generally considered something of a minor entry in the animation studio’s larger filmography (if also a solid family-friendly cartoon feature in its own right), most filmgoers seem to agree that the sequel Cars 2 is Pixar’s weakest movie released to date. Pixar’s own Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter has defended the Cars sequel in the past, nonetheless, while other moviegoers have argued that Cars 2 isn’t necessarily a bad film in the grand scheme of kid-friendly entertainment; it’s just not up to Pixar’s usual quality standard....
