In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira identified Krypto as the key to unlocking the movie. Not only does the Krypto’s connection to her own dog help Nogueira find the emotional center for her superhero movie, but an injury dealt in the movie’s first act gives Supergirl a reason to go […]

For lovers of cinema, few things are as depressing as a franchise that extends itself into too many sequels or, worse, into a television series. One need not look far into the history of genre cinema to see later entries that devolve into self-parody, and the MCU Disney+ shows have shown that too much of […]

Movie titles don’t often describe what the movie is about, but transmit a feeling or vibe. In Fast and Furious, the title doesn’t immediately translate to illegal racing, but it does transmit the sense of velocity and wild natured rebels that the movie intends. At least if you take that name literally, it can be about wild cats hunting.
Other movie titles, taken literally, are about things that…
It’s likely that nothing will compare to the cultural impact Michael Jackson had on the world, both because of how much of an icon he was, and how the world was back then. But there are still people that are known in enough parts of the world that, should they perish, it would certainly be felt.
These are the cultural icons that we know and love today, and it would be devastating to see them go.…
We don’t want characters in movies to have all the answers; after all, without conflict and mystery, there is no plot. But the problems they face should match their abilities. A character who can fly shouldn’t forget they can just because a chase scene needs them to run.
Well, that’s the feeling we got from these fictional characters and their incredible brains. They are experts in their fields,…
Conspiracy theories have always been part of modern culture, especially in the United States, where politics, media, and history often intersect in complex and controversial ways. Some of these theories persist for decades, evolving with new generations and adapting to new platforms, even when they are repeatedly debunked by evidence and experts. Whether rooted in historical uncertainty or pure…
Horror has always relied on familiar tools like jump scares, distorted faces, and predictable moments of tension, but some films and series choose a different path entirely. Instead of leaning on well worn tricks, they build fear through atmosphere, psychology, storytelling structure, or unsettling ideas. The result is horror that feels fresher, smarter, and often more disturbing in unexpected…
Creating a believable fictional world is one of the hardest achievements in storytelling. While some settings feel like obvious fantasy, others are built with such detail, history, and atmosphere that they seem like real places that could exist beyond the screen. Many fans can describe these places almost as easily as actual cities or countries. Here are fifteen fictional locations that feel…
The internet has a remarkable ability to take a single movie scene and give it an entirely new life. Sometimes, a dramatic reaction, a funny expression, or a perfectly timed line escapes its original context and becomes part of online culture for years. Many of these moments were never intended to become memes, yet they spread across social media, forums, and group chats until they became more…
This article contains massive Disclosure Day spoilers. It’s a single word with profound implications. On a night where the world feels like it is on the eve of WWIII, and the media breathlessly follows reports of geopolitical turmoil coming out of the Korean peninsula, all of the petty problems of humanity seem suddenly mooted by […]

The earliest surviving narrative text featuring that rogue we now know as the Prince of Thieves, the Fox of Sherwood, the guy with the bow, is the ballad of “Robin Hood and the Monk.” Our copy is believed to date back to around 1450, although the tale is likely older. But even that long ago, […]

By the time Eraser released on June 21, 1996, Arnold Schwarzenegger ruled Hollywood. It’s not just that he was a giant man, the former Mister Universe. Arnold had already done all-time classics like Predator and Terminator 2. He knew what he was and he got his way. So when he wanted to make a movie […]

Batman‘s always had a villain problem. Not just because they keep getting out of Arkham Asylum every time he puts them in, but also because they keep overshadowing him in movies. Even The Batman, which gave plenty of time to Robert Pattinson‘s emo take on the Dark Knight, also featured the Riddler, Catwoman, Carmine Falcone, […]

Ask entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, better known as Gary Vee, about his goals for the more than 200 characters he’s created for his VeeFriends brand, and he won’t just talk about the comics or stickers in which they’ve appeared, nor the newest set of VeeFriends trading cards released by Topps Chrome. No, Gary Vee wants VeeFriends […]

Articles that talk about how back in the day, the danger was real for the performers on stage, tend to sound like they miss those days. We don’t. We believe we live in an era where safety needs to come first, and where animals aren’t exploited. It isn’t a perfect world, but we’re trying.
Instead, we are focusing on these images to remember the strange things we thought were fun. Dangerous stunts…
As actors and performers grow in age, the roles they can play change dramatically. Child actors grow into teen dramas, who later play adults and veterans until only elderly roles are left. But not everyone functions that way, since not all bodies grow in the same manner; some people are eternal children, while others look 40 from before and after they turn that age.
Chalk it up to a receding…
Some actors seem to maintain the face and physicality of youth for longer than other people, letting them play young adults or even teens well into their thirties. Emphasis on some, since there are other actors that simply don’t look the part. Adults act better than teens, but they need to fit the bill.
We’ve gathered here a few actors that played teens for a bit too long, traversing high school…
What does it mean that something is cursed? Well, in the way the term is used now, it doesn’t mean that something (or someone) is being altered supernaturally, rather, it refers to events or circumstances that are so weird or tragic, they feel like a curse was cast.
No one actually thinks these shows were cursed, but people do agree that parts of their plots, productions or scripts feel that…
Romantic chemistry in movies does not always follow logic, consistency, or even basic compatibility, yet audiences are often asked to accept it anyway. Over the years, countless films have paired characters together for narrative convenience, star power, or simple storytelling shortcuts rather than a believable emotional connection. The result is a long list of couples that feel confusing,…
Shion’s debut as Overwatch’s 52nd hero could have been a momentous occasion. Instead, the hype for the damage-class Hashimoto mob boss fizzled quickly as online chatter about her appearance dominated her post-announcement discussion. Shion would look cool in most other contexts. Her clean white business suit complements the bright red neon lights that run through […]

Amazon MGM can rest easy on its hunt for a new 007 because George Clooney’s been on the case and he’s cracked it. According to Clooney, there’s a “perfect” James Bond out there already, and it’s Callum Turner. The London-born Turner, who recently wed pop star Dua Lipa, is best known for playing Newt Scamander’s […]

Most folks do not like it when their heroes die. A quick glance at online discourse about franchise movies that ended with icons perishing will remind you of this. But the resistance to fictional mortality dates back far longer. There are dozens upon dozens of Robin Hood movies, for example, yet only one previously has […]

The Social Network had no business being the perfect movie it is. Pairing the verbose and optimistic Aaron Sorkin with the frigid and controlled David Fincher? Making a movie about Facebook, an obvious fad only a few years into its popularity? Focusing a lot of attention on nerdy computer guys coding a website? And yet, […]

Hollywood history is full of productions marked by accidents, unexpected improvisations, creative conflicts, and extraordinary dedication that eventually became more talked about than the finished films themselves. In many cases, these behind the scenes moments were more remarkable than the drama in front of the camera. Whether they involved impossible challenges, surprising decisions, or…
For every unforgettable monster that terrified generations of viewers, Doctor Who has also introduced creatures that left fans scratching their heads. Across decades of adventures, the series has experimented with countless alien designs, concepts, and villains. Some were meant to be frightening but thanks to low budgets and 1960s practical effects, looked unintentionally silly. Others had…
TV Tropes are elements of television shows that get repeated constantly, working as plot threads that audiences know and recognize. They might seem repetitive, but it’s a way to suspend our disbelief and accept that this is the reality the show works with. The show must go on.
But as people’s sensitivities change, so too do the things they’ll accept in their shows. Therefore, certain Tropes are…
