The Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been more unpredictable. After a handful of duds, including The Marvels , Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania , and Captain America: Brave New World , Marvel Studios is rethinking how it rolls out new movies and TV shows. While Marvel is riding high on the success of billion-dollar movies like Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: Brand New Day , it's slowed its release pace considerably in recent years. source https://www.polygon.com/marvel-mcu-movies-tv-releases-2026-upcoming-releases/

Psychonauts 2 turns five years old this month. Its existence, and Double Fine's story, are inextricably tied to Xbox for better, as Microsoft funding let Double Fine finish the game, but mostly for worse. Double Fine is once again independent after Xbox mismanaged its brands for years and its leadership ultimately decided that its studios, rather than its executives, should pay the price. It's a shortsighted move on many levels, not least because Double Fine and Psychonauts 2 represent a better, or at least a more enjoyable, future for big-budget games that Xbox and PlayStation are ignoring. source https://www.polygon.com/psychonauts-2-retrospective-double-fine-games/

Ryan Gosling is known for enjoying a good jacket, and several of his characters wear outerwear that makes him stand out amongst the crowd. Even scatterbrained genius Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary rocked an effortlessly cool sweater-jacket combo that made him the belle of the apocalypse. His debut in Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter is no exception. source https://www.polygon.com/star-wars-starfighter-jacket-ryan-gosling-rebel-alliance/

Instead of relying on traditional sources of terror, like serial killers or paranormal spirits, cosmic horror taps into the fear of human insignificance when compared to the unknowable nature of the universe. source https://www.polygon.com/best-cosmic-sci-fi-thriller-free-streaming/

In a show full of clever one-liners, Buffy 's writers saved some of the best for Marsters — who can forget the timeless “Out. For. A. Walk. Bitch.”? — but Spike's best quote is from the series finale, “Chosen.” It marks the natural endpoint for a character who’s been tugged between heroism and selfishness throughout his entire run. It’s also the definitive Buffy and Spike moment, with Spike rejecting Buffy’s offer of comfort for the truth. source https://www.polygon.com/spike-best-quote-buffy-the-vampire-slayer/

A lot of terrific franchises we enjoy playing today got their start on much older hardware. Specifically, a number of them date back to the Super Nintendo , which launched in North America on Aug. 23, 1991. As we celebrate 35 years of memories, we thought it might be fun to look back on some of our favorite franchises that wouldn’t exist without that 16-bit hardware. source https://www.polygon.com/10-classic-snes-franchises/
