Green Lantern’s HBO creator addresses backlash after trailer release

When the first trailer for HBO's Lanterns arrived, most superhero fans had the same puzzled reaction. Sure, the new show from James Gunn's DC Universe looked cool in a gritty, True Detective kind of way, but it didn't really look like a Green Lantern show. After all, for a story ostensibly about two guys who use sci-fi alien rings to create any object they can imagine out of green light, the Lanterns didn't feature a single instance of those iconic green light constructs. source https://www.polygon.com/hbos-lantern-powers-creator-explains/

New One Piece project finally gives Zoro the flashback he deserves

In One Piece , almost every member of the Straw Hat Pirates had their past explored through often tearful flashbacks that span several chapters of the manga or anime episodes. There is one significant exception: Zoro, despite being Luffy's first crewmate. That anomaly could end with the publication of One Piece Novel: Zoro . source https://www.polygon.com/one-piece-novel-zoro-oda-flashback-new/

Dave Filoni's Mandalorian and Grogu cameo is a reminder of Star Wars' biggest failure

The headgear in Star Wars can be quite eclectic. Ornate hats, complex helmets, mysterious hoods: Star Wars has it all.

Who is Yujiro Hanma and why he's the perfect fit for Tekken 8

Some martial arts franchises pride themselves on their gritty realism. Others embrace the flamboyant side of the fighting world with larger-than-life characters. And then there is Baki, where muscular men train by pulling helicopters or crushing diamonds with their hands. Just like the Tekken franchise, Baki built its success on combining realistic martial arts roots with charismatic characters who bend the laws of reality; that's why Yujiro Hanma coming to Tekken 8 as season 3's guest character makes perfect sense. source https://www.polygon.com/yujiro-hanma-tekken-8-perfect-fit-baki/

Jackass: Best and Last director says this really is the end

Even from the trailer, it’s clear this movie will not only deliver the typical insanity expected from the Jackass crew, but that it will also feature a good dose of heartfelt nostalgia. Johnny Knoxville gets visibly choked up in the trailer, and decades-old archival footage can’t help but tug at the heartstrings of those who grew up with these guys. Particularly emotional are the moments from the trailer featuring departed cast member Ryan Dunn, who passed away in 2011, and Bam Margera, who left the crew years ago due to his battles with substance abuse. source https://www.polygon.com/jackass-best-and-last-director-says-this-really-is-the-end/
