House of the Dragon has become the latest piece in Game of Thrones’ masterful story. While many were concerned when the series was originally introduced, not only did it relieve these expectations, it exceeded them. The series follows House Targaryen in its prime, as it ruled over Westeros with an iron fist and throne.

A cowardly governor hides under the covers, clutching his wives and hoarded riches. Outside the governor’s guard squabbles with warriors hired to provide extra protection. They all fear a secret defender of the people, a masked hero who has never failed to escape the grasp of oppressors. The warriors and the guards draw their weapons, ready and waiting. But when a sleekly masked figure all dressed in black lands within their midsts, they can do nothing to stop him. He floats above their heads, dives below their punches, and deflects all of their attacks.
He leaps from their heads and disarms them with a single swift move, making his way to the governor’s hidden treasure. Grasping the ill-gotten plunder, the figure slips away, thanking the governor for his “contribution” to the people. The Iron Monkey has struck again.
The above description could match any number of superhero hero movies,...

Were you hoping to see more Alaska crime-solving from True Detective’s Danvers and Navarro next season? Sorry, but you’re left out in the cold.
The upcoming fifth season of HBO’s crime drama anthology will feature “different characters,” a “different setting” and a “different story” than Season 4’s Night Country, showrunner Issa López confirms to our sister site Variety. That fits with True Detective’s pattern of refreshing its cast and setting each season, but some fans were hoping to see more of Danvers and Navarro, since López served as showrunner last season as well.

Being a Star Wars fan is very interesting. I grew up through the era of the prequel trilogy and thought it was the most boring thing ever. Then I watched the original trilogy, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And even though I wasn’t nostalgic about the originals or the prequels, I enjoyed the legacy sequel trilogy for the most part. The franchise had a solid fanbase on the small screen with its animated projects, which didn’t really interest me. That said, the first season of The Mandalorian did do the trick. After the mercurial success of that show, Star Wars totally shifted to the small screen, and they started churning out stuff that ranged from mediocre to abysmally bad. Andor was like a diamond in the rough. And although it seemed like nothing in the franchise could be as good as that, especially in terms of its storytelling,...

In Dark Souls 3, Hidetaka Miyazaki made a bold and unexpected decision to include an essentially useless dragon form, and this has sparked a variety of reactions from the game’s community. On the surface, transforming into a dragon seems amazing, but in Dark Souls 3, that’s not quite the case.
Despite its aesthetically pleasing design, many players consider dragon form to be one of the least practical transformations in the game, a decision that, paradoxically, might be one of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s most ingenious moves.

The Dragon Form does have some pros, such as allowing the use of dragon stones, which offer unique abilities like a battle roar that can break an enemy’s guard for a free riposte. However, these abilities come with significant drawbacks. For instance,...

We are all set to return to the world of Targaryen politics soon with House of the Dragon Season 2. The Matt Smith prequel series, set 200 years before Game of Thrones, has garnered widespread praise after its premiere in late 2022.
House of the Dragon Season 2 raised several headlines when it continued its filming and was completed in time even after facing the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, it faced another significant issue when co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik left the show. According to a recent interview by Matt Smith, fans will feel Sapochnik’s absence in the second season.

The recent PlayStation State of Play showcased several original titles, with Where Winds Meet being one that stood out to many. While everyone is waiting for Elden Ring’s upcoming Dlc this month, the Soulslike genre is growing at a rapid rate, with new entrants popping up almost every month.
The trailer by Everstone Studio has shown a lot of inspiration from Hidetaka Miyazaki’s genre while adding some new elements, and exciting players who enjoy the Wuxia experience. If the studio can blend the best parts of both genres, we may have a Game of the Year contender on our hands.
Where Winds Meet Looks Like an Amalgamation of Elden Ring and Sekiro Where Winds Meet is going to offer a visceral martial arts experience.
One of the most notable aspects of FromSoftware titles is the desire to push the envelope and introduce new mechanics to every new game.

Even though it felt like a long time ago, it has been 18 months since the House of the Dragon season 1 finale came out. While the fans of HBO’s fantasy series have been desperately waiting for the second season to come out, it looks like the wait is finally coming to an end.
The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s novel “Fire and Blood,” which follows the Targaryen family. The focus of “House of the Dragon” is the civil war, also known as the “Dance of the Dragons,” which took place roughly 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.”

When it comes to any kind of fantasy show, the writers usually have a set of rules for the universe to keep from contradicting anything that happens during the plot. This task becomes even easier when the show is based on a novel, where the lore has already been outlined by the author, and all the writers have to do is study it and keep it in mind.
Unfortunately, when adapting a novel, the team behind the show usually has to make some changes to make the story fit the format. And this is where the inconsistencies become more apparent. House of the Dragon, which is already very different from George R.R. Martin's original novel, is no exception.
Rhaenyra’s Dragon in House of the Dragon
To say that the dragons are the pride of House of Dragons would have been an understatement.

If Game of Thrones was gory, s*xually explicit, and filled with n*dity and booze then wait for the House of the Dragon Season 2, as Olivia Cooke said, it has crossed the line of its sequel show. House of the Dragon Season 2 has been one of the highly anticipated television shows after the success of season 1, which gave chills to the bones to the devout fans of the saga.

In the recent chapters of Dragon Ball Super, Gohan is receiving a lot of attention as the next successor of Goku. In fact, in chapter 103 of the manga, Goku himself admitted that he would no longer have to worry about the Earth’s future in his absence.
However, other than ‘Earth’s savior’, there’s one other position that needs fulfilling, and Gohan has been a candidate for a long time. Yet the latest chapter completely disregarded Gohan’s capability as the next God of Destruction.

The most recent House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser has sparked a lot of comments and arguments. Following the release of the most recent eye-opening teaser, fans have been itching to find out the answers to many pressing issues. Fans were drawn to two clips in particular because they appeared to be in the same location throughout the many scenes and snippets in the House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser. We see Ser Criston Cole galloping across a clear field on his horse, being chased by Baela Targaryen.
Why is Baela Targaryen chasing Criston Cole?
Many eagle-eyed viewers might’ve caught that both the snippets with Cole and Baela belong to the same scene. And by the looks of it, Cole is fleeing from her. But why is she even on the battlefield?
One theory suggests that in the Battle of Rook’s Rest, it is Baela who arrived first.

“House of the Dragon” stars Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy have started the promotional train for Season 2 of the “Game of Thrones” spinoff by gracing the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest digital issue, but they’re still somewhat haunted by one insanely viral moment from their Season 1 press tour. That would be the Negroni Spagliato meme.
It all started when Cooke and D’Arcy were flown from San Diego Comic-Con in July 2022 to San Francisco to shoot promos for “House of the Dragon.” HBO tasked the two actors with asking each other questions on video. Cooke told EW they “were put into this room and we were just so jet-lagged,” and the viral moment was born when Cooke asked D’Arcy the following question: “What’s your drink of choice?”
“Negroni Spagliato with prosecco in it,” D’Arcy answered, which prompted Cookie to let out in her Greater Manchester accent:...

The Rings of Power season two is starting to reveal itself.
Prime Video released a teaser trailer, premiere date and story description for the sophomore season of its Lord of the Rings drama series at Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation in New York City on Tuesday.

House of the Dragon was given an almost impossible task. Game of Thrones is considered a cultural phenomenon; it has raised the bar for quality and changed the way TV series are produced. However, all fans know that the first rule of this fandom is not to talk about the latest seasons.
The series' controversial finale, which was not supported by the original source material, undermined the audience's trust in the universe. It took a lot of skill and effort to fish something worthwhile out of the ashes and ruins that Benioff and Weiss left behind.
The first promotional footage of the series left conflicting impressions, and casting decisions raised questions. Some fans awaited House of the Dragon armed with skepticism, bias, and a willingness to bury the project under tons of criticism. But the first episode came out, and for many, skepticism gave way to surprise and then excitement.

Hugh Jackman is set to return as Logan/ Wolverine in the upcoming MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine. The actor had already retired from playing the character after 2017’s Logan and a rich history dating back to the first X-Men. However, he couldn’t resist being in a film with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and thus came back to the role for the film.
Despite stating his retirement with Logan, Hugh Jackman is returning as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
The trailer and the promotional stills have fans excited, and seeing Jackman back as his most iconic character is an absolute treat. With some pointing out the lack of his iconic cowl, a still of Jackman from the film has been edited by fans to their liking. One interesting fan edit features a complete costume change and hair, bearing a resemblance to the Dragon Ball character Vegeta.

Some breaking news from Westeros: The Game of Thrones prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has added a major talent from Black Mirror to serve as its debut season’s lead director, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Owen Harris has boarded the HBO drama as an executive producer and will also direct the first three episodes, establishing the directorial vision for the series. Harris is best known for helming two of Black Mirror‘s finest episodes — “Be Right Back” and the widely acclaimed “San Junipero.”
In addition, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ episode count has now been revealed: The first season will be six episodes, making for a tighter opener than the 10-episode first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The run time seems appropriate given Knight is an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s 160-page novella The Hedge Knight rather than one of his 900-page epic novels.

In American animation, talking animal movies are a dime-a-dozen, but the "Kung Fu Panda" series is a gem. A big part of the appeal comes from the charming lead performance of Jack Black as Dragon Warrior Po (read /Film's interview with Black on the "Kung Fu Panda" circuit here). Another reason is the Wuxia-inspired action, where the bouncy CGI complements the characters' acrobatics and allows filmmakers to execute "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style wire-fu with no need for actual wires.
Then there's the other secret ingredient: the villains. In each of the four films made so far (with the "Kung Fu Panda 4" box office making it likely another chapter won't be far behind), Po faces a new adversary, one with a new power he must overcome while also advancing on his own spiritual journey. Pretty typical hero's journey stuff, but like in martial arts, it's all about the proper execution.

Goku is believed to be the first Saiyan to achieve the Super Saiyan state in over a thousand years. But doesn’t it sound too unnatural to you? Even if we don’t count Goku, Dragon Ball has numerous Super Saiyan transformations. So how come the species known for their bloodlust never attained the most basic Super Saiyan state in a thousand years?
What if the unattainable Saiyan form was never the base yellow one but something else? Goku and Vegeta, who are both far-removed from the Saiyan society might not even know which state is in the legends.
One character, however, showed a transformation, which could very well be in the Saiyan legends.

The main character of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, Goku, has gone through multiple power-ups over the years, but the most interesting one among them was the fusion technique. It allowed Goku to fuse with his supporting character, Vegeta, who is also a powerful Saiyan, giving them a combination of their overall abilities and strengths.
Fusion Dance
Goku and Vegeta can perform two types of fusion, which result in two different beings with extraordinary strength. The first one is Vegito, and the second one is Gogeta. While Vegito made an appearance during the fight against Super Buu, Gogeta was a non-canonical character for a long time, but ultimately he was introduced in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
One of Toriyama’s interviews was published in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 6: Movies & TV Specials, where he talked about the introduction of fusion in the series and how it started as a joke but...

The vast and vibrant animated franchise of Kung Fu Panda has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

However, with the release of Kung Fu Panda 4, fans found themselves in utter disappointment over how the film ended.

Shifting the responsibility of a Dragon Warrior onto the next generation, Kung Fu Panda 4 severely upset fans as they dismissed Jack Black’s Po to appoint Awkwafina’s Zhen in the new role.

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ is the next most anticipated thing in the Star Wars universe. This is the first live-action show set in the High Republic era, and it’s groundbreaking because it will “sort of” portray the Jedi as the bad guys, due to them being an overwhelming systemic force in that specific time period.
We’ve learned a lot about the show in the past few weeks since the trailer dropped. Most about its influences. The show was pitched as “Frozen meets Kill Bill” and it has a lot of influences from Samurai and Wuxia films, which will lead to some very promising action scenes.
Now a lot of fans never really checked out the rest of the Star Wars beyond just live-action films and shows, as Leslye Headland also explained that High Republic books were a major influence, even adapting some characters to the big screen.

The trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ recently debuted, hinting at plenty of action, a promise echoed by creator Leslye Headland in various media appearances.
Headland described ‘Acolyte’ as a blend of ‘Frozen’ and ‘Kill Bill’, drawing influence from Wuxia and Samurai genres. The trailer showcased this fusion, and Headland emphasized how ‘Acolyte’ will depict Jedi outnumbering Sith for the first time in the franchise’s history.
Although the ‘High Republic’ books serve as the main inspiration for the show, there are also many references to the prequel and sequel trilogies. In her latest interview, Dafne Keen, set to portray Jecki Lon, assured fans that the show’s action scenes will rival some of the franchise’s most memorable moments.
Yeah, that was a very frequent conversation we had. “It was very much: We want to top the Darth Maul fight — the most iconic fight, I think, in the Star Wars cinematic universe.

Invincible ended its second season with a bang. In the classic Multiverse of Madness-style, there is an entire sequence where Mark is thrown from one universe to another, each having some or the other Easter egg. From Spider-Man showing up in the form of Agent Spider, who was fighting Prof. Ock, to Invincible making fun of Batman’s name on a rooftop, this part of the episode was fun, to say the least.
Invincible
On top of these references, there was also a universe plagued with zombies, making a not-so-subtle nod to just how many people from The Walking Dead are a part of the series. One would assume that one of these three cameos would be favored by the show’s creator, Robert Kirkman. However, it would seem that something else had him a lot more excited; a split-second cameo of a gun.

Although many critics were skeptical of "House of the Dragon," arguing that the finale of "Game of Thrones" was so horrendous that it may have killed any audience interest in another TV show set in the same universe, the 2022 spinoff's first season was a pretty clear success. It was so good, in fact, that it's now paved the way for a new spinoff series, once again set in Westeros during the Targaryens' reign.
That's right: "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight," which was officially greenlit by HBO in 2023, has now cast the largely unknown actor Peter Claffey as the young knight Dunk, plus the 9-year-old Dexter Sol Ansell as the pre-pubescent Egg. Details are still sparse, but we know the casting department's got their priorities right: the 6'4" Claffey seems perfect for the famously tall Dunk, who eventually earns the nickname Ser Duncan the Tall.

HBO has found its Dunk and Egg.
The network has cast actors for the lead roles of its Game of Thrones prequel series Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.
Peter Claffey (Vikings: Valhalla) and Dexter Sol Ansell (who recently portrayed Young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) have been cast.
The logline: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell). Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”

It’s been less than a week since Capcom released Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the game has already been making news for the game’s several unnecessary micro-transactions. Micro-transactions are known to hurt the overall experience for gamers who cannot always pay to get the items needed for a quick win or to find a way to quickly travel in-game.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has now added a new way to hurt players in the form of a plague that hurts the pawns, who follow players throughout the game, leading to the deaths of NPCs in hordes, and has eventually become an important topic of discussion surrounding the game.
