Warning: SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame This week, the hottest topic of conversation that no one wants to ruin is Avengers: Endgame. The film has started a whole culture around anti-spoiling, between its accomplishments and effects is basically legendary. The MCU has outdone itself, capping off this chapter of its films, and changing the Avengers forever. 22 movies in and they still dazzle their fans. While they are great at crowd-pleasing, though, Avengers movies aren’t perfect, and neither is this one....

The marketing campaign for Avengers: Endgame is reportedly the most expensive of all time for Marvel Studios. The last eleven years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has all been building to this. Avengers: Endgame will be the culmination of a 22-film story that’s largely revolved around original six Avengers characters like Iron Man and Captain America and the eventual threat that Thanos would pose. When he did arrive in Avengers: Infinity War, he snapped his fingers and wiped out half of all life across the universe....

For a movie that’s filled with fan service and memorable moments, it came as a surprise that Avengers: Endgame totally failed one of Marvel’s most important heroes, the Hulk. The fourth Avengers movie and the final film in the Infinity Saga did a lot of things right in terms of its characters, but its handling of the Hulk was by far its weakest element. In the opening act of Avengers: Infinity War, the Hulk was brutally beaten by Thanos....

Jason Momoa, star of Aquaman, recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, throwing axes to raise money for charity. While it’s not something that you would expect from many actors, it maybe comes as little surprise to see the herculean star getting handy with an axe, and all for a good cause. Looking less hirsute than we are used to seeing, due to the much-publicized removal of his beard a few weeks ago, the star appeared on the show demonstrating his skills with an axe, all the while making money for an environmental cause that he has recently become an advocate for....

From its very first episode, Archer established itself as one of the smartest comedy shows on TV. With dialogue sharp as an assassin’s knife and characters whose moral compasses could use some realignment, the animated espionage drama blew up all the classic spy tropes with a pound of C4 lit by a series of sick burns. The protagonist, Sterling Archer, is the world’s deadliest spy, a parody of James Bond whose drinking and womanizing came with actual consequences....

Details of Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed have been leaked, along with confirmation of its Norse setting. The franchise previously took place in Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and the Spartans. Along with building upon the RPG elements of Assassin’s Creed Origins, the game also introduced gender choices for the protagonist and Exploration Mode, which required the player to piece together various information to complete a mission, similar to how The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt handles side-quests....

This was recently confirmed by Asus Russian technical support according to which, ZenFone Max M1 Pro will not get any further updates that include the stable Android 10 build.

The FCC today announced that it has agreed to a settlement with AT&T for the carrier allowing unauthorized third-party charges on customers’ monthly bill. AT&T will pay a total fine of $7.75 million, $6.8 million of which will be refunds to affect customers. The other $950,000 will be a federal fine paid to the U.S. Treasury. In its statement, the FCC explained that AT&T allowed “scammers to charge customers approximately $9 per month for a sham directory assistance service....

Warner Bros. recently announced plans to develop an Aquaman spinoff, tentatively titled The Trench. As the name suggests, the film will focus on the Trench, a race of sea creatures that feature rather minimally in Aquaman, but leave a lasting impression. This comes courtesy of the incredible practical and digital effects that brought The Trench to life on the big screen. In comics, this race of creatures doesn’t have a notably rich history, as it debuted during DC’s New 52 relaunch in 2011....

Although the last couple of seasons on Netflix let it down, Arrested Development remains one of the smartest TV comedies to ever hit the air. It has a Simpsons-level gag rate, with a whip-smart command of pop culture references and an unwavering commitment to maintaining and continually evolving running jokes. This show has some of the best writing in the history of television. Each episode is filled with interweaving storylines, moves along at a brisk pace, and has jokes layered on top of jokes layered on top of jokes....

The Arrowverse started with Arrow, and the Green Arrow drama allowed all the spin-offs to become possible on The CW. As the series is currently in its eighth and final season, the Stephen Amell-led show has over 160 episodes worth of material for the internet to play with. With great fandoms comes great responsiblity for memes and fan-art, and Arrow is no exception. There is no debate that the gritty superhero series has taken itself incredibly seriously from it’s inception....

As Oliver Queen looks to defeat Prometheus on Arrow, he’s going to make some “surprising” alliances that will catch audiences off-guard. All season long, the show has been doing strong work wrapping up the first five years of Oliver’s story and tying them into his five years away from his home. In the process, the show has reached new heights and given us one of the darkest and most personal superhero narratives ever on TV....

On the TV show Arthur, Arthur’s teacher Mr. Ratburn comes out as gay in the season 22 premiere episode of the popular children’s show, and gets married to his partner. Arthur has been on the air since 1996, and continues to air on PBS Kids, TVO, CBBC, and numerous other networks to this day. The 22nd season of the long-running kid’s show premiered Monday, and in the episode, Arthur and his friends learn something new about the beloved, and fashionable, teacher....

Pixelapse has put together a great blog entry comparing some of the the graphic design elements of Yosemite with those of Mavericks, picking up on some of the subtle touches that many may not yet have noticed – like the translucent notification badges on the dock … Annotations point out the changes, like the smaller Apple logo in the menu bar and thinner icons. The author also points to some of the things Apple is still tweaking, like the three different versions of forward/back buttons in use....

Travis would provide Apple with roughly $6.4 million of the total $36 million in incentives included in the deal, but the vote to approve the incentive was delayed due to “weak points” in the contract....

The internet has essentially taken over our lives. We no longer use it just to look up information or connect with others—nowadays, we do everything from our banking to ordering dinner through it. But how dependent are Aussies on it, exactly? To peer into their habits in this domain, we’ve searched the web far and wide to fetch you the latest and most relevant internet usage statistics, putting together the only online article you’ll ever need to read on this topic....

A new Avengers: Endgame trailer recaps the first 21 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far and finally seemingly confirms Hulk will return. Last year, Marvel Studios celebrated the 10th anniversary of the MCU - a decade since the debut of Iron Man in 2008 - with three new movies, one of which was the massive hit Avengers: Infinity War. This year, Marvel already released Captain Marvel, but the most anticipated MCU movie ever is still to come....

Prior to 1990, the general consensus in the film buff community was that Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather could never be topped as the greatest gangster movie ever made. That was before Martin Scorsese came along with his fast-paced biopic of Henry Hill starring Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro. Now, the question of which mob movie is the best is a debate that will probably never be resolved. With its unconventional narrative structure, morally ambiguous antiheroes, and soundtrack featuring more oldies pop hits than Guardians of the Galaxy, Goodfellas arrived as a breath of fresh air....

The Office and Arrested Development have some of the strongest characters in sitcom history. While comedies can have laugh-out-loud jokes and hilarious storylines, neither of these things can be given the spotlight they deserve without strong characters to back them up. While writing has a lot to do with how a character comes out, casting is equally important. So it’s no wonder the incredible talents of The Office cast were also used by Arrested Development....
