Back in May, to mark the third anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom , Nintendo unveiled a new amiibo figure tied to the game, due this month. It might be the best Tears of the Kingdom figurine yet. Barring any new amiibo reveals at this week's new Zelda-themed Nintendo Direct , it's a strong front-runner for AOTY (amiibo of the year). source https://www.polygon.com/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-best-amiibo-september-2026/

It takes a remarkable director to vanish for nearly a decade and return with a vision as distinct as ever, but Na Hong-jin has always operated on his own wavelength. His track record speaks for itself. The Chaser and The Yellow Sea cemented his status as a titan of modern South Korean cinema long before his latest project, Hope , redefined what an action film could look like. Although his highly anticipated return escalates into bombastic sci-fi spectacle, its underlying DNA resonates with his earlier work. Na remains focused on ordinary people dragged into mysteries far beyond their comprehension. source https://www.polygon.com/hope-is-the-perfect-excuse-to-revisit-na-hong-jins-best-movie/

While HBO’s DC Universe series Lanterns is mostly a grounded buddy cop mystery, showrunner Chris Mundy isn’t afraid to dig into the weirder corners of Green Lantern mythology. The show is focused on the threat of the Manhunters, the shapeshifting synthetic peacekeepers created by the Guardians of the Universe who eventually went rogue, leading to the creation of the Green Lanterns. We've also met fallen Lantern Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) and even one of the Guardians (Laura Linney). In episode 4, series co-creator Damon Lindelof and writer Justin Britt-Gibson added another classic Green Lantern villain to test John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), but viewers who haven’t read the comics might not realize his significance. source https://www.polygon.com/lanterns-hector-hammond-explainer/

When James Gunn cast Adria Arjona ( Andor , Morbius ) for next year's Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow , reports pegged the actor as playing a relatively obscure DC character named Maxima . But some DC fans have long speculated that Arjona was secretly cast as another, much more well-known DC superhero, Wonder Woman. A recent video featuring Arjona has only served to reignite those rumors, as the actor detailed her intense workout regimen to buff up for the recently released Onslaught and her next big movie, Man of Tomorrow . source https://www.polygon.com/wonder-woman-dcu-james-gunn-adria-arjona-maxima/

Created by Chris Carter , The X-Files was a 1990s series about two FBI agents named Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who investigate cases involving paranormal phenomena. In the season 4 episode “Home,” they are called to the small town of Home, Pennsylvania, after some kids playing baseball discover the body of a newborn buried in a field. The body is so riddled with birth defects that it defies logic, so the case gets referred to the FBI’s X-Files division. source https://www.polygon.com/x-files-scariest-episode-home/

Fire Emblem loves looking back. Fire Emblem Awakening , the Nintendo 3DS title that rescued the franchise from permanent retirement, is packed with references to the series’ history: one character adopts the name Marth , another shouts the names of previous Fire Emblem games on critical hits, and a third character comes straight out of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light , the first-ever Fire Emblem game. source https://www.polygon.com/fire-emblem-echoes-shadow-valentia-retrospective/
