The Marvel Cinematic Universe is primarily built on characters. From the charismatic egomaniac Tony Stark to Groot the adorable living tree, the MCU is home to some of the most beloved personalities in popular culture. Among all of the stellar gems in the series, though, there are plenty of faces who either don’t get the recognition they deserve, or otherwise would benefit hugely from a little more space to tell their stories....
One of the methods of doing this is turning off all unnecessary Windows 10 services. This can free up system memory and cache space so that there are more resources for other applications you’re using. However, not all services are created equal. Some are critical for normal operation. In this article, you’ll learn about 12 Windows services that are completely safe to disable if you’d like to. 1. Disable Windows Defender The odds are that you already have antivirus software installed on your Windows 10 PC....
Black Adam, which releases in less than a year, promises to expand upon the lore of the DCEU, bringing us a version of The Justice Society of America. The film’s re-imagining of the classic superhero team raises quite a few questions as to where the creative minds behind the DCEU have planned. Black Adam arrived in October 2022, and while the Justice Society of America has appeared on the small screen in Smallville and The Arrowverse, this is their debut on the big screen....
It’s that time of the year when series get canceled. It’s a sad period for many, as some of their favorite shows are canned in lieu of rubbish starring any member of the Kardashian clan. Simultaneously, it’s a time of optimism as passionate fans rally behind their treasured programming and appeal to other networks to pick them up. Just look at Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Expanse as two recent examples. Both shows appeared to be finished but were rescued by other networks, delighting their fans and proving, like Marian Carey and Whitney Houston said, there can be miracles when you believe....
The Guardians have become some of the most beloved characters in the MCU. Endgame served as a definitive end to a decade-long saga, but it also brought about many beginnings. In the case of the Guardians, we last saw them getting ready to set out on the probable quest for Gamora. Behind-the-scenes drama with James Gunn pushed back the original release of GotG Vol. 3 for after Phase 4. Unfortunately, Phase 4’s humongous schedule hasn’t even begun yet....
One of the trickier elements of creating a believable setting in a fantasy or science-fiction story is establishing that setting’s economy. Because while it may not factor into the story very much, it gives the audience a more fleshed out world that’s easier to invest in. This is especially pertinent for science-fiction, since the genre is rooted in what humans can achieve as opposed to what they can’t. So when we get something like the economy in Total Recall, it’s hard to take seriously....
Pink clothing, whether butter is a carb, and October 3rd will forever remind us of the classic film Mean Girls. Released in 2004 and written by the amazing Tina Fey, the story of high schoolers navigating friendship and popularity will never get old. Sure, there are many movies and TV series that are highly quoteable. Almost every Seinfeld quote could work in almost any situation. But there’s something special about the dialogue in Mean Girls....
It was recently announced that Taika Waititi had taken on the long-gestating Flash Gordon reboot in an effort to finally crack it, and he’ll probably do a fine job with it as a sort of meta, wink-to-the-audience comedy. But nothing can replace the shameless ingenuity of the old ‘80s original. Previously, Sam J. Jones dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the lead role, Queen provided an unforgettable glam rock soundtrack, and Mike Hodges’ direction brought Mongo, Sky City, and the Hawkmen to life in all their pulpy space opera glory....
KGI It has been a tough slough for Apple’s iPad since the height of its popularity in 2013. Facing its second straight year of negative growth, there isn’t a consensus on why iPad sales have declined. I believe the slump is attributable to a combination of factors. Apple CEO Tim Cook called the declining iPad sales a “speed bump” last year before the launch of the 2014 models, but we haven’t seen what Apple plans to do to rejuvenate the product....
I Am Mother is receiving much more positive reviews from critics and fans than almost any other of Netflix’s forays into science fiction. It’s set underground in a world which needs to rely on robots like Mother to repopulate the earth. Mother’s chief duty is to look after Daughter, seemingly the only human left alive - that is until Hilary Swank’s character turns up. The set up of I Am Mother is a science fiction staple - characters are confined thanks to an outside threat only to discover that what they’ve been told isn’t necessarily the truth....
Two years ago, It became the highest grossing horror movie of all time with a Stephen King adaptation that finally felt like the work of the master properly translated to the screen. Rather than the nostalgic view of the ‘80s we get in Stranger Things, It offered us a bleaker, more accurate version of the ‘80s in which real-life terrors go hand-in-hand with paranormal ones. So, while you wait for the second and concluding chapter of It to be released later this year, catching up with the Losers Club as adults who are determined to eradicate the titular supernatural beast once and for all, here are 10 terrifying horror movies to watch if you liked It....
Far away in a distant part of the universe, there existed a species of aliens known as Time Lords, creatures that could manipulate the time-space continuum to travel backward and forward to any point in time and space. From this massively powerful species emerged a single Time Lord, who took it upon him/herself to travel all over the universe (making a surprising number of pit stops in 21st century suburban Britain) in his/her time machine called the TARDIS....

Horror cinema relies heavily on atmosphere, and is, if anything, a director’s genre. But, many of the unsung heroes of the genre are the performers who bring these characters to life. The dark places that these actors have to explore, both as the victims and villains of these stories, are some of the hardest work one could attempt. Over the lifetime of the genre, there have been hundreds upon hundreds of outstanding roles and performances from actors....
While a lot of people write off TV spinoffs as indicative of a lack of originality on the part of show creators, as well as an easy cash grab for networks, it’s hard to deny their appeal. It takes characters and universes we already know and love and expands upon them in interesting ways, be it focusing on a specific character or looking at a previously, completely unexplored location or time period of an existing series....
The way Hollywood operates these days, there’s less focus on big stars than a recognizable brand. With every big blockbuster being a reboot, a sequel, or an adaptation, it’s clear that tentpole-seeking movie studios would rather pay big for an existing intellectual property than greenlight something just because it has a good cast. But the good news is that with VOD and online distribution, indie movies are still being made and new, exciting actors are still being discovered every day....
Last week, James Cameron made a surprise appearance at Las Vegas’s CinemaCon and announced not one, and not two, but four sequels to Avatar, to be released in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023. While any and all plot and character details are being kept under wraps, JC and his crew have dropped hints here and there as to what this epic five-part saga could ultimately entail. By the time Part 2 comes out, the original film will be nine years old, so hopefully Cameron is arriving on the project with some fresh ideas....
A web application security scanner is a software program which performs automatic black-box testing on a web application and identifies security vulnerabilities. Scanners do not access the source code; they only perform functional testing and try to find security vulnerabilities. Various paid and free web application vulnerability scanners are available. In this post, we are listing the best free open-source web application vulnerability scanners. I’m adding the tools in random order, so please do not think it is a ranking of tools....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought a lot of unique and amazing worlds to life in its movies and TV shows over the years. The advanced African nation of Wakanda showed up in Black Panther. Knowhere was part of Guardians of the Galaxy. Sakaar was in Thor: Ragnarok. Even Titan was shown as part of Avengers: Infinity War. Other amazing worlds were also hinted at, from the Dark Dimension in Doctor Strange to the Nine Realms in the Thor movies....
Trailers are some of the most exciting things about being a fan: they often show up after a long wait, audiences starved for any sort of content while they wait for their beloved movie to come out. The Star Wars franchise even has an entire convention panel dedicated to its trailer drops. Fandom wouldn’t be much without the trailer savants picking apart each and every millisecond of the teaser and analyzing it on the internet....
