The 100 continues to be blinded by the City of Light. ThisThe 100review contains spoilers. As Ive mentioned in previous reviews, much of this stems from the problematic City of Light storyline. This season weve witnessed a major character assassination namely Jahas unlikely transformation from spiritual leader to two-dimensional villain. And thats not even the most egregious thing about this season. But more on that that in a bit. Early on in the season I didnt much mind the passing similarities between Alies City of Light andThe Matrixfilms....

Want to know why Tony Stark calls Spider-Man “Underoos” in Captain America: Civil War? We’ve got the answer for you… Its as mundane an activity as mundane gets in life. Undeterred, Weiss found a silver lining amidst the ashes of his Archie project. We want to make a pitch to Hanes Underwear. I said, Well, I wouldnt put a picture of Archie on it like a polo shirt. Let me think about that....

On this one you were able to be involved from the beginning. Joe Russo:Yes, absolutely. We could conceive it from the beginning. The process we did onWinter Soldierwas really specific as well. Even though there was a script, there were a lot of changes after that. For us as directors, everything has got to be in the script. The more complete the script is, the better the jumping off point for everybody collaborating on the project....

Whenever a studio announces a sequel, the same question almost always comes up: Why? (Theres no better proof of this thanMeet the Parents.) In the case ofNeighbors 2: Sorority Rising, a lot has happened in the two years sinceNeighbors. Rating: 4.5 out of 5

TV has a problem with the disproportionate number of lesbian and bisexual characters killed off on screen… This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. The phenomenon of lesbian and bisexual women characters being killed off disproportionately on screen is not new. Happy endings for us are just as scarce in TV. These arent even close to being the only examples. These deaths arent even shocking any more. For those of us whove been watching this unfold for decades, its just exhausting....

Scandal season 5 is gearing up for the finale. WhenScandalseason 5 left for its midseason break, plenty of characters found themselves at crossroads. If someone ruffles the feathers, then watch out for this Cyrus. Anyone remember what happened to Amanda Tanner, Fitzs alleged lover, in season one? She was found dead in the river of an apparent suicide. However, she was actually ordered to be killed by an assassin hired by Cyrus....

The Winchester boys take a back seat in a decidedly spiritual episode of Supernatural. Supernatural: Season 11, Episode 20 Dont read on if you havent seen the episode. I swear to Chuck I am not kidding you this is a rather big spoiler. At the time, the appearance of Castiel, an actual angel, was crazy to imagine. Metatron served as our proxy in this sense. There was a really good balance here between the side-by-side plots....

Look at just how much ground it covers and how many tone changes it undergoes. Martha is seen off to a plane by Philip and Gabriel within the mostly dialog-less cold open. Philip experiences the same existential crisis that all working fathers do after losing a job. Philip and Elizabeth get into a long overdue screaming match about infidelity and EST. Gad loses his job. Elizabeth hangs out with Young-Hee, seesThe Outsidersand kills an old agent of hers....

The ThunderCats opening, Ryan argues, is one of the best pieces of animation ever. Here’s how it predates modern, CGI action scenes… The introduction to the original 1980sThunderCatsTV series is one of the greatest pieces of animation ever produced. Take a look at it again: the speed, the fluidity, the colour. How the movements flow into the music. The way the animators have gone for visual impact rather than storytelling logic....

Yet Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have done it withCaptain America: Civil War. Den of Geek: Do you remember the first conversations aboutCap 3and whenCivil Warcame into the picture? Stephen McFeely:First conversations were the search for Bucky. I think a lot of people come out of this one and go, Wow. Buckys in it a lot… I mean its not just the Avengers. Its really about Caps story. So that was the barebones or the skeleton to start....

Batman V Superman was expected to do Avengers-style numbers. But does the fact that it won’t break a billion make it a modern-day flop? This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Zack SnydersBatman v Superman: Dawn Of Justicemovie has clearly hit the mark. Its important, I think, to note that, as the narrative otherwise seems to be entirely negative. And thats not the case. Yet it would also be correct to suggest that many did not warm to Zack Snyders movie....

Cynthia Rothrock took centre stage in the China O’Brien films. Here’s our salute to them… In 1989, Cynthia Rothrock was relatively unknown to action fans in the west. Inspector Cindy was an instant hit with eastern audiences. Even though the department claims its justified, China is devastated. It all seems idyllic, yet somethings not right. The local bar is overrun with violence and vice. The county judge lets criminals walk....

It’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan. It’s also a really bad time… Instead, I was sick of it. Buy all of your Star Wars movies, boxsets, video games, and merch here! Ive faced down the anger-pots and walked away with a smile on my face. Ive blocked the trolls. And yet, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren exhibits the worst qualities of a Star Wars Fan Gone Bad! I know I did....
