And much of the plot was inspired by events that took place decades, if not centuries, before the contemporary action. It was an impossible task, everyone assumed. No one could do that. Then David Benioff and D.B. Weiss actually did it. HBO’s Game of Thrones was a…

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem draws from Liu Cixin’s award-winning The Three-Body Problem, as well as—out of necessity—the other books in his Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy.Chad Stahelski on Returning to The Matrix“The guiding principle was to retain the spirit of the novels,” Woo told io9 in a roundtable interview for the…

There's no denying that without the talented artists and writers who have made Marvel Comics such a print juggernaut, Marvel Studios and the MCU wouldn't exist. Be that as it may, as claimed in THR's article on the matter, the minds behind so many beloved and influential superhero adaptations have gone above and beyond to shrink comic creators' payouts for using their characters. In addition to the aforementioned "cameo" tactic, Marvel Studios has reportedly pulled some other strategies out of its bag of…

There’s a moment in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth — one I won’t spoil but will say it’s not That Moment — where I could hardly breathe.
