Cassandra

Cassandra Nova may be one of the most powerful villains that the X-Men have ever faced, but ironically, her mutant status has long been a hot topic of discussion. For many, a mutant any a person who is born with extraordinary abilities, and Nova certainly qualifies considering her incredible psychic powers. But by strict definition, a mutant is defined by their genetic code and the existence of the so-called "X-gene." While Nova may be an astral twin of Charles Xavier, she has no real physical form of her…

We have so many questions after that spectacular first-look trailer for Deadpool 3 Deadpool & Wolverine but one of the most intriguing is: what’s the deal with that bald villain? Well, while the trailer was surprisingly low on spoilers (but high on Easter eggs) as Marvel continues to keep much about Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy’s threequel to themselves, we’re pretty sure we know who this is and who they are playing. This is no doubt Emma Corrin, who was first announced to have joined the film in February 2023,…

More than a twisted fairy tale, The Salt Grows Heavy takes inspiration from a variety of mermaid lore and legends, laying the mythos out on a surgical table and taking it apart bit by bit. This short, sharp novella flays its characters open—often literally—in order to perform a surgical, queer satire of happy endings. Cassandra Khaw’s writing is masterful, and her horror is gruesome and gleeful, rendered in prose so grisly, you have to pick it out from between your teeth.Spoilers of the Week | June 3rdAn unnamed Plague…

2021 was a blast for the animated movie lover, as Arcane, the Netflix series based on the League of Legend and its lore, took the market by story. The series set a new definition for the animated genre and even grabbed the Emmy Award for the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation category in 2022. This video game adapted series swept almost every award it was nominated for and since then many fans regardless if they are gamers or casual OTT consumers are asking for the sequel.

Replaced as Batgirl by Stephanie Brown in 2009, Cassandra Cain returned in 2010, working as an anonymous agent of Batman in Hong Kong before…

Photo: HBOPerhaps the most accurate portrayal of horror-loving friends ever captured on screen, Los Espookys—HBO’s underrated comedy series—is back for season two with its earnest eccentric vibes. It comes from the brilliant minds of stars and writers Ana Fabrega, Julio Torres, and Fred Armisen, and while it’s easy to liken the show to Taika Waititi’s original What We Do in the Shadows (mixed with Edgar Wright’s Spaced and a dash of Ghostbusters), it truly exists in its own weird as hell world. In the first season, we met…

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the most recent television iteration of the world’s favorite terrapin heroes, generated a lot of buzz, from its initial announcement all the way through its two seasons on Nickelodeon. While the show did receive an arguably satisfying conclusion in 2020, it was later announced that an original Netflix film would continue where the series left off, bringing with it some shakeups in the Turtles’ team dynamic and the proper introduction of several franchise mainstays into the Rise…

Image: BioWare/EAThroughout the years, BioWare has become equally known for both the games it makes and the reactions surrounding those games. Most of the time, this relates to itssci-fi RPG Mass Effect, which is due to receive some type of resurgence within the next couple of years. And while you very much wouldn’t say that’s the only thing the Canadian developer is known for, it can be sometimes easy to overlook Dragon Age, the studio’s equally beloved fantasy-RPG series. But this month in particular has felt like a…
