Captain Marvel is losing her powers in the luxury of her own BatcaveShare All sharing options for: Captain Marvel is losing her powers in the luxury of her own BatcaveAvengers tower — currently standing in the donated body of a dead Celestial — is nifty, but every Avenger needs their own home base. In this week’s Captain Marvel, we got a look at the inner sanctum of Carol Danvers, complete with the traditional giant computer bank, underwater entrance, and glass tubes full of old costumes. The cu

The next hour, at least in part, focuses on the world of digital media and the maze of online content. Kendall and Roman are sent to investigate Vaulter, the online media company that Waystar spends most of season 1 trying to buy. The site’s traffic has been down ever since the sale and they need to figure out why, and whether or not it’s worth saving. In the world of Succession, the digital media implosion happened exactly the same way. However, in 2017, the company shifted its focus to “pionee

In the comics, and in the new Amazon series adaptation, the heroes are all human. Instead of unimpeachable heroes of truth and justice, Ennis’ supes are corrupt, money-driven, and debauched. The grungy comic series, which began in 2006 under the Wildstorm imprint at DC, only lasted six issues before getting canceled. These comically human versions of beloved superheroes call into question what superpowers really mean. And that’s what makes The Boys more than just a potty-mouthed satire of the DC

Their latest series, the marvelous The Righteous Gemstones, which premieres Sunday, Aug. 18 at 10pm, feels just as on the nose, if also a slight reversal from the usual formula. Of course, they’re not wrong; the Gemstones are more concerned with the wealth brought in by their megachurches than what they’re preaching. The Righteous Gemstones’ dramatic edge is more pronounced than Jesse’s giant mutton chops and Kelvin’s Bieber-esque wardrobe might immediately suggest. As with Vice Principals, the

It appears as though Superhot is getting a stealth launch on Nintendo Switch, perhaps in two days. A dataminer noticed an update for the game — it hasn’t been announced yet — was uploaded on Friday, and an industry analyst hinted that it will be announced during Monday morning’s Nintendo Direct. SUPERHOT for Switch just got an update… but they haven’t even announced its release yet pic.twitter.com/tk1ZLeGZQv — SimonTime (@itssimontime) August 16, 2019That was followed by this from analyst Dani

The four-day camp begins on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at the NBA 2K League Studio in Queens. It brings 15 of the top women competing in NBA 2K to play against and learn from players and coaches in the current NBA 2K League season. The 2019 NBA 2K League draft had two women in its draft pool, with Evans being the first and only one selected. A news release from the NBA 2K League said Evans will be participating in the development camp, along with her Warriors Gaming Squad teammate Charles “CB13” Bostwick.

Screenwriter James Vanderbilt and director David Fincher recreate some of the Zodiac crimes in horrific detail, and they include multiple nerve-jangling scenes of the investigators confronting potential killers. Because the second season of David Fincher’s Netflix series Mindhunter is now available to stream. Mindhunter is very much in that classic Fincher mode. In other words, Mindhunter will continue to resemble Zodiac, the crime picture and socio-ethnographic drama that for now is still Finch

It sounds simple, and it is super easy to learn, but it’s also the loudest we’ve laughed playing a game on Overboard. After the giddy excitement of Anomia, we moved on to a quieter, but still very intense game: Skull, the purest bluffing game around. But should they flip over a skull, they not only lose the round but lose one of their cards. Like any bluffing game, you have to take risks if you want to win but the game makes it extremely clear what’s at stake. Each time another player places dow

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly Exotic item merchant. This fan-favorite fusion rifle has two perks that make it special. When you fire Telesto, the fusion rifle particles attach to the enemy and explode at a latter time. Its exotic perk, Aeon Energy, will grant energy to other Aeon item users in your fireteam. Its exotic perk is The Fourth Magic, which causes your energy weapon kills to regenerate grenade energy for you and your nearby allies.

These horrifying revelations were brought on The Polygon Show by Allegra this week, who mysteriously watched all four live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. This week, we were also joined by junior entertainment reporter Petrana Radulovic and Polygon intern Palmer Haasch. Petrana gave an impassioned plea for the criminally hated Blue Lions from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, a game we can’t stop talking about. Then she and Palmer gave us the rundown of Ouran HIgh School Host Club, an early 2000

Joaquin, a video game fan who used to play things like Counter-Strike, says that his video game habits changed dramatically once he got a job. Video game consoles cost hundreds of dollars, and triple-A video games often cost $60. For some, watching but not playing video games isn’t a question of time or resources — but rather a concern over stigma. Viktor, a fan of Slay the Spire, says that people around him tend to judge his love of video games. You also can’t go to a video game convention with

I’ll change it to “the evolution of the misunderstood angry man.”It also seems like all three shows are based on your personal experiences. The craziest episode was episode 5, the interlude episode that’s all a flashback. I’ve seen it all, because after I’m writing, I’m not in the mood to invest in another story. I just bounce over whatever I’m in the mood for that moment, but it’s been a lot of good stuff. The first scene I’m going to do is with James Franco.

The first images for Netflix’s Raising Dion reveal the ups and downs of single-parenting a superpowered child. Raising Dion follows a single mom named Nicole who’s left to raise her son Dion after the death of her husband. Dion has telekinetic powers, which have caught the attention of some who want to exploit Dion’s powers. As Nicole raises her son, she starts to discover the mysterious circumstances surrounding her husband’s death and the origins of Dion’s powers. Raising Dion premieres on Net

Salvador Simó’s animated film Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles tells the real-life story about a surrealist through the marvels of animation, bringing life to his visions in a way that live action can’t quite embody. Simó presents a fictionalized account of Spanish-born Mexican filmmaker Luis Buñuel (voiced here by Jorge Usón) and the making of his film Las Hurdes (Land Without Bread). The presence of Ramón Acin (Fernando Ramos), Buñuel’s activist friend who funds Las Hurdes, is a little h

The first hour of Cold Case Hammarskjöld makes headway into the case as Brügger leans hard into the tropes of thriller fiction. The filmmaker laces Cold Case Hammarskjöld with the comedy of uncertainty, but the meta approach comes to a head at the halfway mark. Akin to Serial and the podcast’s many imitators, Cold Case Hammarskjöld kind of just rolls along, promising major revelations that, in the end, could fizzle out into nothing. He chased the Dag Hammarskjöld conspiracy theories on a lark, a

Invader Zim is fully back on its typical Invader Zim bullshit in Enter the Florpus, a new Netflix special that revisits the series over 10 years after it went off the air. While Zim is willing to move planets to get The Tallest to notice him, Dib spends the Enter the Florpus not only trying to stop Zim, but also earn his father’s respect. Dib’s relationship with his father has always been strained. By the end of Enter the Florpus, everything has for the most part returned to its original state w

Pokémon Sword and Shield will not only bring new Pokémon and a new region, but also some pretty tight new battle mechanics. Some Pokémon — specifically ones caught in Max Raid Battles— may also have Hidden Abilities. As for the mysterious new Dynamax ability, it not only causes Pokémon to grow in size, it also boosts power and lets Pokémon use Max Moves, which trigger additional effects. Additionally, the Pokémon Company announced that Pokémon Sword and Shield will be the official games used for

Nintendo is giving some Switch owners the option to trade in their recently purchased systems for the latest revision of the console that offers improved battery life. But the offer to upgrade to the latest model of the Nintendo Switch appears to be limited to customers who purchased the original version of the Switch on or after July 17, the same day Nintendo announced the system update. I was told that I could not exchange an older model for any limited edition versions of the Switch, just the
