Kenneth Branagh's Thor 5 MCU pitch sounds a lot like this Marvel masterpiece

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is almost 20 years old, and Thor has been around since nearly the beginning. Chris Hemsworth debuted as the God of Thunder in 2011’s Thor, which turns 15 on May 6. And it turns out, all these years later, director Kenneth Branagh (yep, Hercule Poirot directed an MCU film) is still thinking about what he would have liked to do with the character had he stuck around in the MCU.

‘I was so tired’: Behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s beloved ‘whee whoo’ scene

Image
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen would be the first to tell you: writing a video game is work . At least writing a novel is a one-person operation for most of the time. At least a screenplay for a film only needs to come in around 120 pages, unless you’re working for Martin Scorsese. But writing a video game? That means filling hours of space, bending the material to fit the play, and usually working with a team of other writers to make it all cohere. Sometimes to hit a deadline, you just need to throw words at the wall. Especially when it’s 3 a.m. That can still result in brilliance. All the Frenchy bits and bobs in Clair Obscur have captured the imaginations of players, but few quite like the character of Esquie, and especially one camp conversation in which the oversized gestral reflects on his friend François with Verso. Verso knows François to be a grump, but Esquie insists that “Franfran used to be all ‘Wheeee!’ But now he’s all ‘Whooo.’” Over about...

Ongoing titles like Delicious in Dungeon or The Apothecary Diaries might not evoke 1:1 comparisons with Frieren, but they do convey a similar sentiment of coziness.

The new Vox Machina book finally gives Shaun Gilmore his due — read an excerpt here

Image
As soon as Random House revealed the table of contents for its short-story collection Critical Role: Vox Machina — Stories Untold (publishing March 4), I knew exactly which story I wanted to read first: Aabria Iyengar ’s “Shaun,” about everybody’s favorite recurring NPC with a crush on a PC, Shaun Gilmore . I always felt like Shaun got a raw deal in Critical Role’s animated adaptation The Legend of Vox Machina : He’s portrayed as a skilled sorcerer, a savvy merchant, and a scheming politico, but he’s also kind of an affection-operated dispensing machine, and a bit of a retro queer stereotype. The original actual play episodes offer some humanizing detail about him, and put his relationship with Vox Machina party member Vax’ildan on a more equal footing. But the animated series makes his long-standing crush on Vax seem both a little oppressive (constant, unreciprocated, gushy flirting; Vax always looking a bit squirmy and constipated around him) and like a weakness that turns him in...
