So often, the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park ring true, where engineers and product managers are too preoccupied “with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.”Someone asked “What was the biggest downgrade in recent memory that was pitched like it was an upgrade?” and people shared the worst examples. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites, and share your thoughts in the comments. If you want to see more terrible changes and updates, check out our…

Make no mistake. Sony’s latest attempt at a Spider-Man spinoff, Madame Web, is bad. Pretty much everything about it is bad: the script, the acting, the cinematography, and more. But, in our mind, one thing towers over the rest. The king of all things Bad-ame Web. But, to talk about it, we have to dive into spoilers.Unboxing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition Playstation 5 BundleThe main narrative drive of Madame Web stems from the bad guy Ezekiel (Tahar Rahim) having visions of his death. In his dream, which he has…

John Walker's unpredictable mindset is partially what made him a bad replacement for Steve Rogers when he assumed the mantle in "Captain America" #332 (by Mark Grudenwald, Tom Morgan, Bob McLeod, Ken Feduniewicz, and Diana Alberts). After the original Cap was fired from the role, Walker proved to be a poor choice as the new Sentinel of Liberty due to his murderous tendencies and fanatically patriotic attitude. Ultimately, Walker was replaced in the role by a returning Rogers, a twist of fate that set the…

Cillian Murphy is currently garnering a heap of acclaim, including a 2024 Academy Award nomination for his role as the eponymous physicist in Christopher Nolan's epic biopic, Oppenheimer. But, though he has plenty of other acclaimed performances on his CV, from Peaky Blinders boss Tommy Shelby to survivor Jim in Danny Boyle's 28 Day Later, there's one he's seemingly less than fond of. Believe it or not, t's his role in Wes Craven's moderately reviewed, 2005 thriller, Red Eye, and I couldn't disagree with him more.The…

Image used with permission by copyright holder Most companies like to sweep the bad parts of their legacy under the rug. For Nintendo, that includes some The Legend of Zelda games licensed for the Phillips CD-i platform. Frustrating game design, poor animation, and a terrible controller cemented these games as some of the worst ever made, but that doesn’t mean people have ignored them. Some of the earliest “YouTube Poops” were based on footage and dialogue from those games. And now, the new Arzette: The Jewel of…

Madame Web is a two-hour trailer for the movie you think you’re watching, but actually aren’t. If that’s confusing, welcome to the world of Madame Web, where everyone—the characters, the actors, the audience, and everyone in between—is confused about basically everything, all of the time. It’s a film that sets specific expectations in terms of story and payoff, proceeds to seed and tease those payoffs throughout the movie, and then never delivers on them. When a film has to pretend to be something it’s not to keep you…

If you’ve picked up an Apple Vision Pro and want to play Beat Saber on it, please just take it off and play on a different device for now. @iBrews could have benefitted from this advice before taking to X to show off his Beat Saber rig. In a video taken on Apple Vision Pro, he straps a Meta Quest headset on top of Apple’s revolutionary new spatial computer to use its passthrough, turning it into a glorified pair of goggles. If this sounds complicated, it is… unnecessarily so. What is interesting to point out about this…
