She Ra The Next Step In Queer Representation

This She-Ra and the Princess of Power article contains minor spoilers for season one. Queer fans of animation have always had to wait. Wait for any scraps of possible representation. Wait for a character to be revealed as queer (which can sometimes take years). Wait to see if those characters will be treated well. This isn’t always the fault of the people making those series. Noelle Stevenson, executive producer of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, knows just how much of a fight it’s been for several decades....

Solo A Star Wars Story Novelisation Review

While reading Solo: A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty, I toyed with trying to separate it from the movie it was based on. Since the book is billed as an ‘Expanded Edition,’ I thought maybe the key would be to discuss what new things the book brought to the movie. But a novelisation is still a novelisation, and the book doesn’t add enough to the characterisation or tone to set it apart....

Sonic Origins Won T Include Sonic 3 Knuckles Original Soundtrack

Sonic Origins won’t include the original soundtrack for Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The news was confirmed by Sonic social media manager Katie Chrzanowski in a Sonic livestream. “While unfortunately we can’t use all the original sounds from the Sega Genesis version of the game, Jun Senoue has been working really hard to adapt the original music that was composed in 1993 for Sonic Origins,” said Chrzanowski. “He’s been going so far as reproducing it, with the same sound chip from the Sega Genesis, and using his own digital audio tape collection to make this as faithful to the originals as possible....

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie May Not Feature His Shoes

On the other hand, the film could capitalize on Sonic’s initial lack of shoes through a running joke. Fans have been creating memes of Sonic’s unrevealed feet for years, so if the movie wanted to, it could make an inside joke about that by keeping Sonic’s feet out of sight despite his shoes being off; it would probably work to great effect, too. Or, the movie could ignore the whole situation entirely and focus on more important things, like, being good enough to break the video game movie curse (for those that think Detective Pikachu didn’t)....

Spider Man 2 Will Release Earlier Than Players Expect

If there’s one thing Sony is good at, it’s making exclusive games. The company has gained quite a reputation for its exclusive lineup, which offers gamers almost universally well-reviewed single-player experiences. Among those titles is Spider-Man, the web-swinging action game that became one of the best-selling superhero titles of all time. And while that game came out just last year, it seems that a new Spider-Man game may not be too far away, possibly even by 2021....

Star Wars Who Is Darth Revan

Star Wars is full of characters whose names can be said around the world and most people will turn their heads. Whether it’s the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker or perhaps one of the greatest villains ever created, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, the Star Wars franchise lives on through its heroes and villains. But not all of the best Star Wars characters come solely from the Skywalker Saga or even from series creator George Lucas; in fact, one the most beloved villains in many fans hearts borderlines on whether they’re even technically canon in the new Disney era, Darth Revan from BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic....

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Performed Well On Steam

After being away from Steam for most of the decade, EA made a grand return to Valve’s platform with last week’s release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While it was unlikely to flop, the early numbers are in and the game has done pretty well on Steam. According to Valve’s own stat tracking, the title peaked with 46,550 concurrent players on launch day. That’s not gangbusters well, but it is notable because of Jedi: Fallen Order’s status as an EA title....
