After Avengers: Infinity War ended with a jaw-dropping twist – Earth’s mightiest heroes finally losing to a villain who was too powerful for them – MCU fans spent an entire year speculating on what would happen in the sequel, Avengers: Endgame. So, it’s shocking in itself that the Russo brothers managed to surprise them at all. Right out of the gate, the Russos subverted expectations by killing off Thanos in brutal fashion within 20 minutes and then suddenly sending the survivors of the Mad Titan’s successful universe-wide genocide into the other side of a five-year time jump....

Warning! SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Endgame. Avengers: Endgame doesn’t lean on its musical cues as heavily as either of the Guardians of the Galaxy films or Captain Marvel, but the film does include a few needle drops that it uses to great effect. The Marvel Cinematic Universe may still lag behind DC and Warner Bros. when it comes to iconic musical themes for its heroes, but no superhero franchise better uses pop music than the MCU....

Warning: spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War. - Thanos would fix Marvel’s villain problem - if only his motivations weren’t so dumb. The MCU’s problems with its antagonists has been somewhat understandable.

Battlestar Galactica became a cult classic when it originally aired, but fans were skeptical when Syfy developed their own remake. The remake gender-swapped some characters and made the robots of the original into a more human-like species. The changes created buzz, and a whole new storyline to follow. In the 2004 series, there were “copies” of numbered cylon models who infiltrated the ranks of humanity. Intent on finding their own world to call home, the humans and cylons came into conflict....

Thanos’ destruction may have started to claim victims with a new casting call for Avengers 4 teasing a funeral scene. Over the years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has played loosely with the larger stakes for the heroes. So far, not many have died, and if they have, they’ve been brought back to life in some way - with only Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver staying dead. While the casualties within the group have not been large, that is expected to change with Phase 3 nearing an end....

Since January 2018, the American actor and filmmaker has been mostly out of the public eye, following an accusation of sexual misconduct. To promote the new project, Netflix released an official teaser for Aziz Ansari: Right Now. Now 36 years old, Ansari rose to fame as a cast member on NBC’s political satire Parks and Recreation.

In this first episode of Back to the Mac for 2022, I explore my latest Mac desktop workspace setup. Although some things remain the same, I’ve made some significant changes to increase the versatility of my workspace. Back when the pandemic started, I thought that it would be a good time to redo my desktop setup with the goal of using my small space more efficiently. Prior to the redesign, I had an oversized desk, oversized table for product shots, light stands littering the floor, and don’t even mention the horrific cable management....

More Americans than ever before are holding onto their iPhones for three or more years, suggests a new survey. CIRP data shows the percentage steadily increasing from 12% in the first quarter of 2016 to 28% this year… The good news for Apple is that most iPhone owners still upgrade every 1-2 years, but the proportion of those who do so less frequently has increased every year since 2016. CIRP says the base iPhone 11 is the most popular purchase....

Batman: The Animated Series finally heads to Blu-ray in 2018. As one of the most popular superheroes in history, Batman has starred in some of the greatest comic book-based films and TV shows of all time. This very much extends to the animated realm, thanks to the aforementioned Batman: TAS. Airing weekday afternoons on FOX Kids, TAS debuted in September 1992, and ended in September 1995. 85 episodes were produced in total....

Love it or hate it, it is hard to argue that 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was an epic yet polarizing spectacle to behold. It was the first DCEU movie to come out after 2013’s Man of Steel, and it was the story that kicked off the entire line up of shared-universe DC films. Reviews of Batman v Superman were mixed, to say the least. Some fans applauded the new direction Zach Snyder took the characters and the incredible action sequences, while others scoffed at what they felt were miscast characters, weak villains, and a convoluted plot....

The directors of Avengers: Endgame have officially confirmed the final runtime, and it is over 3 hours, as many expected. The lead up to the end of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe technically began all the way back in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, but it was really the devastating ending of Avengers: Infinity War that left audiences eager to find out what happens next, as made clear by the mayhem over the ticket presales....

One committed Avengers: Infinity War fan brought the Infinity Gauntlet to life via a massive cosplay costume. While Thanos won’t be sporting his cool armor throughout the whole film (something some fans are not too happy about), it’s expected that he’ll be wearing the hand gear designed to hold all six Infinity Gems together. The MCU has yet to fully explain where the gauntlet came from, but it’s a given that whoever wields it with the complete set of stones will have unlimited power - and the initial goal for the Mad Titan so he can execute his universe-altering plans....

The success of the film Batman Returns delivered one of the most memorable superhero movies to this day. Michael Keaton continued playing the role of Bruce Wayne aka Batman with the top villain of Danny DeVito as The Penguin. The anti-hero character of Catwoman featured Michelle Pfeiffer providing arguably the most memorable performance of her entire career. Tim Burton’s tale of Batman during the Christmas season of this film opened an imaginative world that helped shape the future....

A VFX artist re-imagines the fight scenes from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in a new video that gets Superman drunk. Last year’s big offering from the DCEU, Batman V Superman, became another divisive movie for the comic giant - despite having some phenomenal fight scenes, and Batman’s glowing eyes that thrilled fans when they were first revealed at SDCC. One of the biggest scenes, the titular throwdown between two of DC’s biggest heroes, also became one of the most controversial, as the “Martha” line was ripped apart by unimpressed fans....

Memes aren’t far behind when it comes to mainstream films, and Avengers: Endgame would be the last film in the universe not to have an army of memes arriving our way. As the film has been out for quite some time, we’re now deep into these memes, and these now carry context as well. In this list, you’ll find posts that either question or point toward the logic that was applied in the film – both in-universe and in the eyes of the fans....

The Russo Brothers have explained the reason why Avengers: Endgame lacks a post-credits scene. The current MCU film is doing exceptionally well at the box office, grossing $1.2 billion in its opening weekend alone. It can be argued that the MCU popularized the post-credits concept. In Iron Man, the Avengers were teased after the credits rolled. From there, fans anticipated what future event or storyline would be teased at the end of each movie....
