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/

World War II epics tend to emphasize the overwhelming scale of the conflict. Allied forces storm the beaches of Normandy, tanks rumble across Europe, and in some cases, soldiers are just trying to get Matt Damon home . Naturally, Quentin Tarantino doesn’t take a conventional approach to the genre. While his 2009 movie has its fair share of explosions and bloodshed, its most thrilling battles unfold during tense conversations. In perhaps the best example, one man seals several people’s fates simply by holding up three fingers the wrong way. source https://www.polygon.com/quentin-tarantino-inglourious-basterds-streaming-on-hulu/

Many people I know have played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ; shockingly few have actually finished it. Every time I talk to a friend about it, I hear the same story: “I could take on Calamity Ganon whenever I want, but I’m not ready to be done with it.” Like a lot of open-world games, Breath of the Wild is built for procrastinators. It gives you a lot of ways to kill time, whether you’re completing quests or hunting down every last Korok seed. All the while, Hyrule burns thanks to your completion anxiety. source https://www.polygon.com/blood-dawnwalker-open-world-opinion/
