Splatoon Raiders fans are already shipping its characters, somehow

Splatoon Raiders has only been out for a day, but the series’ most dedicated fans are already hard at work. I was already matchmaking with players nearly at level 50 just 12 hours after launch. Other fans, though, have bigger fish to fry: they’re busy shipping its heroes, despite the fact that there are four characters in the whole game. (And one is a manta ray.) source https://www.polygon.com/splatoon-raiders-fan-shipping-shiver/

Keanu Reeves' 4-part fantasy series is a perfect HBO Max binge hiding in plain sight

Sometimes kids crawl through a wardrobe and wind up meeting a talking lion, like in The Chronicles of Narnia . Or maybe there’s an impossible train platform like in Harry Potter . Even a rundown bathhouse can be a world of wonder in the case of Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away . That’s the brilliance of fantasy: it leaves open the possibility that something larger-than-life is lurking just beneath the surface of our waking world. What’s really between those towering glass buildings, beneath grimy subway stations, or maybe even under the floorboards of our own homes? source https://www.polygon.com/john-wick-is-secretly-one-of-the-best-fantasy-franchises-of-the-last-decade/

Motor City's director explains how he made the most unique revenge thriller of the year

After spending nearly two decades in development, Motor City has finally reached the big screen. Starring Alan Ritchson as an ex-Army Ranger seeking revenge after being framed and sent to prison, the film tells much of its story with little dialogue, relying instead on physical performances, visual storytelling, and a soundtrack of classic rock needle drops that become as important as the characters themselves. source https://www.polygon.com/motor-city-director-potsy-ponciroli-interview/

Game of Thrones' best new show is getting new GRRM material

It's been six years since Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin last graced the world with a new book or novella. The fantasy writer likes to periodically remind the public that the beleaguered Winds of Winter is making some kind of progress, sure . The whole thing has been such a saga, though, that some fans are losing hope Martin will ever publish something again. The good news is that Martin is writing something that isn't a TV show. Whether the specifics will actually make fans happy is a different story. source https://www.polygon.com/game-of-thrones-winds-of-winter-update-knight-seven-kingdoms/
