Warning: Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead! Turn back now if you haven't seen the entire series! Obi-Wan Kenobi has proved once and for all that Darth Vader deserves his own spin-off show. Now, hear me out, you might be thinking that the Skywalker Saga already contains more than enough Vader, but – as the Obi-Wan show has proved – there's always more story to tell. In fact, Obi-Wan Kenobi had some of the best Darth Vader scenes ever. Whether the Sith Lord was tearing transports from the sky , dragging Obi-Wan through flames , or simply opening his eyes in a bacta tank , the internet could not get enough. We've never seen Vader quite like this before: even in Rogue One , which saw him slice through countless Rebels on a quest to recapture the Death Star plans, he wasn't quite as terrifying as the Vader we saw slaughtering his way through a village or besting a vengeful Reva using only the Force. Unleashing Vader in his own spin-off would let us see even … [Read more...] about The Obi-Wan Kenobi series proves Darth Vader needs his own Disney Plus show

Though there's been no confirmation of an Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 , Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy is definitely open to the idea . "Well, frankly, we did set out to do that as a limited series," she said. But I think if there's huge engagement and … [Read more...] about Hayden Christensen says he saw “glimpses of Padmé” in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s young Leia actor

You Don’t Know Me may have passed people by when it first aired on the BBC last year. Its Netflix debut, however, has given the crime drama a new lease of life – and is enthralling viewers all around the world with its "gripping" (opens in new tab) premise and plentiful twists and turns. Based on Imran Mahmood’s 2017 novel of the same name, You Don’t Know me sees Hero (Samuel Adewunmi) being accused of murder. Instead of taking legal advice, he tells the story of what happened after his girlfriend, Kyra, gets embroiled in London’s criminal underworld. Is he telling the truth? That’s something that will keep you guessing right until the very end of the four-part miniseries, which is now firmly placed within the top three on Netflix in some countries, including the UK. "You’ll binge the whole thing tonight," reckons one hooked viewer (opens in new tab) on Twitter. "You Don’t Know Me on Netflix is incredible and I will not rest until the world knows this," said another … [Read more...] about Netflix viewers can’t get enough of You Don’t Know Me, a “gripping” drama climbing the charts

Umbrella Academy Season 3 has arrived on Netflix, and the Hargreeves family is up to their usual antics of squabbling with each other and facing down a massive, cosmic-level threat that may or may not consume all reality. You know, regular dysfunctional family stuff. This season took things bigger and, somehow, weirder than ever before--and we don't say that lightly, considering Season 2 saw them time traveling the '50s and facing off with a group of Swedish assassins and also a man who was actually a sentient goldfish on robotic body. We're going to break the whole thing down for you here, but please be warned if you haven't finished Season 3, there are major spoilers ahead- -and most of them probably won't make a lot of sense if you're not at least mostly caught up on the Umbrella Academy as a whole. Please proceed with caution! We learn right off the bat that this new present day the Hargreeves family is in has been drastically changed. By interacting with their father in … [Read more...] about Umbrella Academy Season 3 Ending Explained: What Happens To The Hargreeves Family?

Laura Linney revealed she’s not quite ready to say goodbye to Ozark yet. Not only did the Wendy Byrde actor say that she’d sign up for more episodes, but she also explained she’s yet to watch the season 4 finale. Ozark came to a climactic end on Netflix back in April with a dramatic – and tragic for some – final episode. "I haven’t seen it," Linney told Vulture (opens in new tab) when she was asked about her thoughts on it. "I don’t know what they chose. I’m very bad at watching myself and I’m particularly bad at watching things that I really loved doing because it’s going to change the minute I see it. I really can’t comment on it." The star was then quizzed on what the different endings to the show were, which she shut down over her comment on the moments they "chose" in the finale. Linney replied: "No. I’m not going to do that," explaining she doesn’t think it’s her job to comment on viewer reactions to the show. While we might not ever find this out, it is … [Read more...] about Laura Linney reveals she hasn’t watched the Ozark finale as she addresses alternate endings

Batman: The Animated Series ran for just 85 episodes across four seasons in the early '90s, but its impact is still being felt 30 years later. For many, as noted by Catwoman writer Tini Howard , Batman: The Animated Series defines Gotham and its cast of characters – and the DC comic book universe (DCU) has been widely affected by decisions made for the show in the decades since it aired. The show's effects go beyond introducing popular characters to comics canon, like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya. Batman: The Animated Series also overhauled major character backstories and introduced the world to definitive takes on villains, like Mr. Freeze and the Joker, respectively. September 5, 2022 marks the official 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series. To celebrate, let's examine how the show has changed the DC comics Universe, for better or worse.

Disney Plus' Ms. Marvel streaming series is now two episodes in, and the ways that Kamala Khan's superhero origin and powers have been changed in adapting them to the MCU from comic books are becoming clear, even as the mystery around the roots of Kamala's abilities is simultaneously taking shape. Ms. Marvel episode 2, now streaming, offers some further insight into Kamala Khan's new origins and how they relate to her hidden family history, channeling some of the themes of self-actualization and discovery that are important to her comic book story. For one thing, the episode makes it clear that while the apparently important bangle activates Kamala's powers, they're actually inherent to her and come from within, likely as a result of a powerful hidden ancestry. In comic books, Kamala Khan's powers are derived from her latent Inhuman DNA, which, when activated, grants her the power to change her size and shape. In practical terms, this often means growing in size to increase … [Read more...] about Ms. Marvel – Kamala Khan’s powers could be connected to the Nega-Bands or Quantum Bands from comics
