Game of Thrones was famous for mounting big battle scenes: the Battle of the Bastards was fought between two armies, Stannis besieged the city of King's Landing in the Battle of the Blackwater, Daenerys Targaryen rode in on her dragon for the Loot Train Attack, and so on. One kind of battle we didn't get to see was a ship-vs-ship naval battle, give or take a scene from season 7 where Euron Greyjoy boarded a boat and kidnapped his niece. Prequel series House of the Dragon will change that with the Battle of the Gullet, a major action set piece drawn from the pages of George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood.

At the end of House of the Dragon season 2, Tyland Lannister was successful in recruiting the pirate captain Sharako Lohar to lead their fleet into battle on behalf of King Aegon II Targaryen, who's currently fighting his half-sister Rhaenyra for the Iron Throne.

It seems we can expect to see the Guardians of the Universe and (possibly) the Sinestro Corps in the upcoming Dcu Lanterns series.

While being interviewed about her new series, Deli Boys, Poorna Jagannathan spoke about what excites her most about the show, and in her enthusiasm, may have given away a little more than she realized.

"I couldn't have loved the writing for Green Lantern more. Like Deli Boys, the Green Lantern series is extraordinarily well written and my character is extraordinarily well-built. And also, the way I can describe all the characters. We have all the characters we know and love... the Lanterns, the Guardians, Sinestros, and that world is still intact and everyone is presented as heroes and villains at the same time. And that's what makes the writing so complex, layered and so wonderful."

The Guardians of the Universe are a race of blue-skinned aliens who founded the Green Lantern Corps,...

Over the past decade, many Star Wars fans have been waiting for Lucasfilm to bring more Legends (or Expanded Universe) characters into the current canon. They've already done this with Grand Admiral Thrawn -- in books, animated series, and live-action. Could they do this soon with more characters like Mara Jade?

According to a new rumor, Lucasfilm could be working on a new show focused on Mara Jade. The character first appeared in Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire book trilogy and went on to appear in dozens of other books after that. The character remained a vital part of others' stories even after her untimely death.

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm and its intellectual properties, the decision was made to end the then-current continuity of storytelling in the "Expanded Universe," and begin a new continuity labeled Canon. This meant that everything but the films -- books, video games, comics,...

Nosferatu, Wicked and Conclave took the top film prizes at the 27th Costume Designers Guild Awards, which were handed out Thursday night at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. See the full winners list below.

Nosferatu costume designer Linda Muir won for Excellence in Period Film, Wicked’s Paul Tazewell took the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film prize, and Conclave‘s Lisy Christl went home with the Contemporary Film trophy. All three also are up for Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards next month. Also vying for the Oscar are A Complete Unknown (Arianne Phillips) and Cdga nominee Gladiator II (Janty Yates and Dave Crossman).

Since the guild launched its awards show in 1999, the Academy Award for Costume Design has gone to a period film every year but three, with only Mad Max: Fury Road (2016), Black Panther (2019) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2023) bucking the trend. Poor Things continued that run last year,...

If pronounced correctly in Italian, "Parthenope" is a gorgeous four-syllable name to match the eponymous character's resounding beauty in acclaimed filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino's new feature. A little homework reveals that the name is synonymous with Naples and belongs to a fallen Siren in Greek mythology and tragedy, whose vocals couldn't fit the bill in seducing the iconic Odysseus once upon a time. In effect, it's reasonable to suspect the award-winning Italian director's new drama might be a tragedy of sorts.

Maybe you've watched A24's promotional trailer for Parthenope a dozen times to fully grasp lead actress Celeste Dalla Porta's unparalleled beauty, something which often leads to suffering. The thoughtful but troubled character is the central focus in this life-spanning journey which overfills Parthenope's sprawling 137-minute duration.

Sorrentino's latest unabashedly Italian feature feels a lot like The Great Beauty, even if it falls short of his 2013 masterpiece more often than not.

Today we are going to dissect David Lynch; a dealer of dreams, a merchant of mysteries and moods, a fanciful gentleman with a great wave on his head, and above all, an artist who never shies away from showing hideousness of human nature. In this session, we will focus on integral organs of the Lynchian body. This is going to be bloody, and when I say bloody, I mean it. If you are squeamish, I reckon you should stop right here, ‘cause I don’t want my room stinkin’ with your barf, that’s for sure. But if you want to peep into something you shouldn’t be seeing, if you want to say hello to the mystery man, in short, if you’re a true fan of Lynch, jump like a rabbit and enter the Red Room where my dog barks some.

David Lynch passed away on the 16th of January,...

Perfume Genius will return this spring with an album that he’s describing as one of the boldest artistic statements of his 15-year career. Glory, out March 28 on his longtime label Matador Records, is the seventh studio album from Mike Hadreas’ long-running art-rock project.

Lead single “It’s a Mirror” features a propulsive folk-rock arrangement under Hadreas’ voice as he sings about internal conflicts and longing for freedom: “What do I get out of being established?/I still run and hide when a man’s at the door.”

Quick Links The Hand Is a Formidable Threat in the Comics Defenders Created a Detailed But Unfaithful Version of The Hand The Hand Will Never Be as Scary as It Initially Was

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, when factoring in the Netflix era of shows like Daredevil and Luke Cage, had more than enough in the way of characters, Easter eggs, and villains. But one of its achievements was the introduction of the villainous Hand. The tease of the organization was all the range when they first popped up in the universe, and it led to a massive team-up series, Defenders, which was the street-level answer to the Avengers and united Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Unfortunately, the miniseries was more of a missed opportunity by the last episode due to how poorly it handled its greatest treat.

While the show set up some creative seasons for each member of the Defenders,...

The return of the Berserk manga has taken the entire internet by storm, leaving many fans eagerly anticipating the new chapter’s release. Kentaro Miura narrates an epic tale of adventure and revenge filled with intense action and a gripping story, captivating several fans with Guts’ journey. Following a tragic backstory to his path of vengeance, Guts’ struggle is an admirable one.

While the manga explores numerous themes, its true brilliance shines in its portrayal of humanity. It delves into history, religion, philosophy, chivalry—you name it. It’s worth noting that Guts’ character continues to be highly praised, even after transitioning to an anti-hero role.

Berserk has achieved legendary status as a hallmark of the seinen genre, yet Kentaro Miura intriguingly acknowledged its surprising similarities to shoujo manga.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the Dune: Prophecy season 1 finale.

Dune: Prophecy lays the groundwork for Dune 3 in several intriguing ways. Dune: Prophecy is a six-part series based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune, which was written by original Dune author Frank Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson. The story takes place more than 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreidies, which is chronicled in Denis Villenueve's Dune (2020) and Dune: Part Two (2024). Dune: Prophecy reveals the origins of the powerful shadow sisterhood known as the Bene Gesserit and how they manipulated the fate of humankind.

Dune: Prophecy episode 1 "The Hidden Hand" introduced Valya Harkonnen, a fierce and calculated leader, and her biological sister, Tula Harkonnen. Dune: Prophecy episode 2 reveals what happened to Lila and her grandmother, Reverend Mother Dorotea, after Tula and Valya encouraged her to endure The Agony. In Dune: Prophecy episode 3, Tula takes Lila's life into her...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1!

Marvel’s current Ultimate Universe is officially celebrating one year of comics by corrupting an iconic piece of Shield lore. The Helicarrier, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965, served as the headquarters for Shield and a transportation vessel for the government agency and accompanying superheroes. In Marvel’s quickly developing new universe, the Helicarrier has a different name and a mission that’s truly frightening for the people of Earth-6160.

Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1 – written by Deniz Camp, with art by Jonas Scharf – gives the Ultimate Universe’s growing lineup of heroes a major threat to contend with. The one-shot, which will also feature a prelude to writer Chris Condon and artist Alessandro Cappuccio's Ultimate Wolverine, will explore Nick Fury’s role among the universe’s villains.

In the preview, Nick Fury and the agents of Hand use...

Things are going to get very interesting for Nate in the coming weeks. The Young and the Restless introduced Valarie Pettiford to the scene as Amy Lewis, who is searching high and low for Damian. Soon, they’ll get assistance from Detective Denise Tolliver when Telma Hopkins returns to the show.

Welcome Return

In the lead-up to the drama, Soap She Knows snagged an interview with Hopkins to discuss what’s to come for her character. “Denise is who she is. She’s an investigator. She’s nosy. She’s got the best job in the world, and now she can get in everybody’s business legally. She doesn’t have to sneak around like she used to do.”

Warning: Spoilers for Two-Face #3Batman: The Animated Series was one of the most influential Batman animated shows of all time with its nuanced storytelling and memorable rogues gallery, and with the first-ever Two-Face title, DC is expanding its comics canon with the debut of Baby Doll from the animated series. As Baby Doll makes the jump from animation to comics, Two-Face writer Christian Ward also hints at other unique Batman characters set to make appearances.

On X, Two-Face series writer Ward posted cover art by Baldemar Rivas, revealing that Baby Doll will appear in February's Two Face #3 by Ward and Fbio Veras as an antagonist to Harvey Dent. Baby Doll is a fan-favorite Batman: The Animated Series villain who has yet to debut in the comics, but she has an interesting affliction of body and mind that perfectly aligns with the two-sided nature of Harvey Dents character.

Conor McGregor is no stranger to the spotlight. Whether it’s his stunning knockouts inside the octagon or his bold trash talk outside of it, the UFC champion, 36, has carved out a name for himself that’s iconic. But this time, the headlines aren’t about his fists—they’re about a legal storm that’s threatening to knock his public image.

A woman has filed a civil suit against the Mma star, accusing him of a serious and disturbing crime—s*xual assault. McGregor’s lawyers are doing their best to protect his image and reputation, but with the media spotlight firmly fixed on the case, it’s clear that this will be a fight unlike any he has faced in the octagon.

Recently, the alleged victim, who is pursuing civil damages against McGregor, took the stand in court.

Manga fans worldwide know the renowned series, Hunter x Hunter‘s creator, Yoshihiro Togashi’s relentless drive for his works.

James Patterson's iconic Washington D.C. detective and forensic psychologist is back in a big way with Cross. The upcoming Prime Video show serves as the fourth adaptation of Patterson's character, with Morgan Freeman having played him twice in the psychological thrillers Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, before being surpassed by Tyler Perry in the 2012 franchise reboot, Alex Cross. This time around, the eponymous detective is being played by Aldis Hodge, best known for his work in the Leverage shows, as well as the Invisible Man reboot, Turn: Washington's Spies and Black Adam, among others.

Unlike the prior three films, Cross will be taking an original approach to adapting Patterson's franchise, not adapting any one specific novel, but instead creating a new case with some iconic characters appearing. The show will follow Hodge's Cross and his...

Moonstruck is an iconic 1987 romantic comedy, one of Cher's best movies that earned her an Academy Award for her role as Loretta Castorini, opposite Nicolas Cage's Ronny Cammareri. From humorously dramatic confessions to Cher's iconic "snap out of it", there are many famous scenes that cemented Moonstruck in the hall of rom-com fame. The film follows Loretta unwittingly falling for Ronny, the younger brother of the man she is supposed to marry, after her first husband's death.

Moonstruck offers an intricate portrait of the Italian-American experience in New York City and is widely regarded as one of Cage's most underrated film roles. In the decades since the theatrical release and successful awards campaign of Moonstruck, the film continues to be referenced across pop culture, including in the recent Only Murders In The Building episode also featuring the A Few Good Men monologue. The film's unique pacing makes it...

The villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe often pale in comparison to their comic counterparts in terms of power, lacking some of their most incredible abilities from the source material. The MCU has often been criticized for their supposed Marvel villain problem, frequently struggling to craft meaningful antagonists outside a handful of standout characters. One small aspect of this issue has been the overall power level of Marvel villains, which ranges from godly to laughably inconsequential.

Throughout the movies of the MCU, most Marvel villains don't possess straight-up superpowers, with most relying on technology or meticulous planning to threaten heroes instead. In the rare instances they do have superhuman abilities, they typically start and stop with typical enhancements like super strength, super speed, and enhanced reflexes, indicative of the McU's many copies of Captain America's super soldier serum. Meanwhile, the extended history of the comics allow for greater exploration...

The Young and The Restless (Y&r) spoilers and rumors tease shocking twists ahead-it looks like Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) killed Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom)! But is Heather really dead, or is it all part of Sharon’s psychosis like Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby)?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Is It Really How It Looks?

In the last episode, viewers witnessed Sharon’s dramatic intrusion into Daniel Romalotti’s (Michael Graziadei) penthouse with the intent to poison his whiskey-however, she soon experienced a change of heart.

In a bizarre moment, she found herself grappling with an imaginary version of Cameron over the tainted bottle, leading to a chaotic scene where she accidentally knocked over several glasses.

After tidying up the shattered glass, Sharon attempted to make her escape but unexpectedly encountered Heather.

Heather confronted Sharon about her presence in the penthouse, prompting Sharon to spin a web of nonsensical lies.

One thing about Selena Gomez is that she’s always going to speak her truth.

Jon Bernthal ducked out of "The Walking Dead" at the right time (the end of season 2). He stayed on long enough to prove his talent without winding up tied down to the show. Of the series' original main cast, Bernthal has also had easily the most prolific film and television career since.

One of his most popular roles was in another comic book-based television series: Frank Castle/The Punisher on "Daredevil," and then a two season "Punisher" spin-off. Bernthal's Punisher is easily the highlight of "Daredevil" season 2; the season suffers whenever it pivoted to the less compelling Elektra/Hand storyline (Elodie Yung never steals a scene like Bernthal does). Even with the controversies surrounding the Punisher character, Marvel Studios has chosen to bring Bernthal back for revival series "Daredevil: Born Again." Welcome back, Frank!

In a funny coincidence, Bernthal is not the only "Walking Dead" alum to have played the Punisher.

Fallout: New Vegas has plenty of landmarks that became instantly iconic amongst the community, but this player was lucky enough to see one in real life. Within a playthrough of Obsidian Entertainment's beloved RPG, players will likely stumble upon Helios One, a massive solar farm commandeered by the New California Republic. The organization is doing its best to reactivate the technology in a bid to provide its various outposts with power, but players can alter the group's plans by making some changes to the system and going so far as to share electricity with the whole Mojave.

Vice President Kamala Harris was praised on social media for forcing President Donald Trump to shake her hand as they took the stage at the presidential debate.

While they stepped onto the stage on Tuesday night, marking the first time they met face-to-face, Trump headed to his lectern, and Harris walked across the stage. After a brief moment of hesitation, she offered her hand.

“Kamala Harris,” the vice president stated while shaking the former president’s hand. “Let’s have a good debate.”

A core aspect of Star Wars has always been lightsaber duels. From humble beginnings in A New Hope to the modern duels in the Disney+ live-action Star Wars TV shows, lightsaber duels have changed and developed in many ways over the years. Which of these lightsaber duels, in Star Wars' nearly 50-year history, is the best?

In order to determine this, it's important to look at all the aspects of a great lightsaber duel, and how they stack up against each other. Fight choreography is, of course, incredibly important, but so is the narrative significance, setting, score and cinematography. Considering all of that, here are the top 15 live-action lightsaber battles, ranked from worst to best.

Game of Thrones cut A Song of Ice and Fire's biggest Targaryen twist (so far) when it didn't include Young Griff, aka Aegon Targaryen, but it was the right choice for the series. George R.R. Martin's books are full of characters and plot lines that didn't factor into the HBO TV show and, of course, his novels were infamously overtaken en route to Game of Thrones' ending. All of these deviations had a ripple effect, including the choice not to include Aegon.

In the books, it's revealed that Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar, is still alive when Tyrion sails on a ship with him in A Dance with Dragons. In Game of Thrones, this story doesn't happen and Aegon/Young Griff is never introduced, and the entire storyline is pretty much cut. That may have been a disappointment for some book readers but, given where the show was headed...

‘Agatha All Along’ is the next MCU installment that fans can look forward to. The show will focus on Agatha Harkness. Following the Scarlet Witch’s spell, Agatha finds a way to break the prison and return but she is powerless. Agatha will need to gather a makeshift coven of witches who dare to walk the witches’ road in order for Agatha to find her powers once again.

The show has an interesting premise and a stellar cast. The cast for the upcoming show features Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, Joe Locke as Billy Kaplan, and Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale. Ali Ahn will play Alice Wu-Gulliver, while Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili are set for roles yet to be confirmed. Debra Jo Rupp will appear as Sharon Davis, Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu, and Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal/Green Witch.

Plenty of interesting characters...

It’s certainly not uncommon for filmmakers to tell autobiographical stories in their work, such as how Steven Spielberg has used dinosaurs, aliens, ancient Biblical relics and aliens a few more times to process his parents’ divorce.

One movie that most people likely don’t tend to think of as autobiographical is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After all, it’s not like any of the Pythons ever survived any bovine catapult attacks or bloodthirsty bunny rabbit skirmishes.

But an autobiographical reading of The Holy Grail has just been floated — and not by some unhinged fan, but by Eric Idle.

In a new interview with The New Yorker, Idle chatted about a number of different topics, including his apparent financial difficulties, and the state of his relationship with fellow Python John Cleese. But much of the discussion was focused on Idle’s upcoming tour, as well as his newest book,...

Having worked together in the past, these two Japanese creatives are friends and very popular in the industry. Suda51, the creator of games like No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned, and more, often collaborates with the creator of Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami.

During a recent interview, Suda51 revealed that Shinji Mikami’s favorite game is God Hand. He even joked about how they should jointly acquire the rights to this game and make a new version. This title is unique because it has many mechanics that could easily fit into a Suda51 game.

She knows how to switch flows and styles seamlessly, like the way she works some R&b into hard-hitting trap on her latest single “Big Mama” without a hitch. With hits like “Put It on Da Floor,” and its buzzy remix with Cardi B, she plays the mean-girl-bad-bitch role convincingly, especially after the sugary pop of her chart topper “Big Energy.

There’s a good chance A24 saw this exact tweet saying they would have sold out the book from The Holdovers if they had been the ones to release the film, and immediately called a marketing team together to figure out the next best thing. Whether or not this is...

As the newly appointed Hand of the King, Criston Cole leads an army to Rook's Rest with a trick up his sleeve. Due to Criston Cole's lack of experience and oversight, the mission doesn't go as planned for the Greens. Criston Cole's first failure reflects his incompetence as Hand of the King in a grave time for the Targaryens.

The following contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 4, which premiered Sunday, July 7 on HBO.

The Blacks and Greens have both lost their first fighters on House of the Dragon in the Battle at Rook's Rest. What was conceived as a sneaky scheme to lure the Blacks into a trap turned into an improvised plan that presumably cost the life of Aegon II Targaryen. The main person to blame for this? Aegon's newly appointed Hand of the King, Ser Criston Cole.

Criston has certainly risen the ranks rather quickly as a commoner.

The Harry Potter books foreshadow Draco's Half-Blood Prince plan in Chamber of Secrets. Draco's foreshadowing in the Borgin & Burkes scene is subtle and unexpected. The series has numerous well-planned foreshadowing moments, not just Draco's.

When I first read them, the Harry Potter books constantly kept me guessing, but even better, they foreshadowed exactly what was to come, and Draco Malfoy is the perfect example. With a series as long and complex as Harry Potter, foreshadowing is a necessity. Harry's journey from unlikely boy wizard to hero would not have been as exciting without some hints at what was to come. To me, foreshadowing offers a way for the story to come full circle. When it comes to the Harry Potter books, this happens countless times, but sometimes the subtler detail is the better one.

Another benefit of Harry Potter is that it doesn't just shine a light on its protagonists.

Criston Cole (Fabien Frankle) gets more than his fair share of screen time in House of the Dragon, but now fans can take him home and put him on a shelf. The Commander of the Kingsguard and new Hand of the King has a Funko Pop of his very own, as posted by Westerosies on X (formerly Twitter). Luckily for fans, the figure does not have the atrocious haircut that Cole insisted on getting in Episode 3 of the second season. The new Pop will feature circa Season 1 Cole, when fans could count his crimes on one hand.

While some fights in the anime are bombastic in nature, what truly elevates them from other shnen works are the scientific rules that alchemy must adhere to within the series. Scientific knowledge is just as important as a well-aimed shot, and Fullmetal Alchemist balances both military tactics and strategy with science and understanding of the fundamentals of nature that govern the world.

With many diverse fights in the series, some carry more emotional weight, while others elevate the political intrigue and mystery of the series to greater heights as each fight serves to broaden the scope of the overall conflict. Fullmetal Alchemist isn't afraid to go to dark places and some fights serve to increase the sheer darkness and depravity of what humans are capable of, while other fights showcase just how good people can be with how Edward and...

Otto Hightower's comparison to Tywin Lannister in House of the Dragon season 2 highlights their similarities. Otto's replacement as Aegon's Hand marks a significant change, and his political skills are tested amid rising chaos. Despite some similarities, Otto's position and influence in House of the Dragon prove he cannot match Tywin's intelligence and power.

Otto Hightower from House of the Dragon is regularly compared to Game of Thrones' Tywin Lannister, but the former show confirms a harsh reality regarding their similarities and differences. House of the Dragon season 2, episode 2's ending marked a notable change for Otto. After spending so long beside generations of Targaryen as the Hand of the King, Otto was stripped of his title. Otto being replaced as Aegon's Hand will have major ramifications going forward in House of the Dragon season 2, especially with war brewing on the horizon.
