Many eagle eye fans of Avengers: Endgame might have noticed some of the differences in the movie from the trailer. Marvel tends to do this in order to keep the audience guessing on what will happen in their movies up until the release date. In many cases, scenes will be cut from films for runtime purposes or to allow the plot and pace of the movie to flow more easily. Avengers: Endgame had to take this route when it came to cutting out a hard-hitting emotional moment with Tony Stark and his much older daughter, Morgan, played by actress Katherine…

Season eight for HBO’s Game of Thrones has been going through a rough patch since the end of the first episode. Though the expectations were high leading up to the foretold epic the battle or battles the show has been promising, they have falling kind of flat.

Well, if this season has pissed you off like so many others, then you’re in luck. A new petition…

Some were speculating that Disney’s new streaming service, Disney +, might give Netflix a run for their money with new Star Wars, Marvel content, and Fox studios library. Now, Disney has taken it further by just buying Hulu altogether. Reports have come out that the House of Mouse has bought a large share of Hulu from Comcast that…

Video game adaptions are one of the biggest problems in Hollywood. There have been many attempts to capitalize on the genre but most have been god awful to moderately good—maybe give Detective Pikachu a pass. Director James Wan is hoping to break that cycle of bad video adaptations with his iteration of Mortal Kombat – as it has been announced that the film is finally a “go”.  Wan—who is coming off the massive success of Aquaman—is all set to produce one of the most controversial fighting games for the big screen. New Line Cinema—the studio backing up the film—has announced…

The Purge franchise is something that should’ve worked for only two movies, max, but has been trucking along since introduced to our pop culture. With a second season of the TV series on USA networks announced and the fourth installment was a big hit last year, another one was inevitable. Well, Universal Pictures has finally dropped the news on the release date for the fifth Purge movie. Blumhouse Productions and Platinum Dunes are producing once again alongside creator James DeMonaco. Making sure that the gravy train is missed, producers Jason Blum, Man in a Tree duo DeMonaco and Sebastien Lemercier,…

Avengers: Endgame allowed the audience to say goodbye to some of their favorite characters while giving said characters satisfying send-offs. Some of it involved a heroic sacrifice and some involved time travel that—once given a critical thought—might come off very conflicting with the MCU timeline. Fortunately for us, writers of Avengers: Endgame, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, gave some insight on one of those time travel issues in a recent interview. SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME (YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN THE MOVIE BY NOW)! After the defeat of Thanos and his army, our heroes have left the Infinity Stones and a promise…
