If you joined Facebook in the mid-2000s or Instagram in the early 2010s, your goal was probably to see what your friends were up to. But let’s say you joined later, during the rise of the influencer. Your reasoning might have been to keep up with news or the latest trends, with a side of keeping tabs on people you went to high school with. If you picked up TikTok during the pandemic, you might have been looking for a lockdown diversion—a goal that TikTok recognizes as it brands itself as an “entertainment platform” rather than a social media platform....

Earlier this week Yahoo trimmed it’s workforce laying off roughly 600 employees. Following the layoffs are more changes, and it seems Yahoo doesn’t know what to do with itself so they’re taking a cut-n-run approach. The Delicious social bookmarking site will be closing in the next few months, followed by other Yahoo services. It has been 5 years since Yahoo acquired Delicious from the developer Joshua Schachter, when I first saw news of the acquisition I was excited because I thought Yahoo would take it to new heights....

It doesn’t appear that the Legion of Doom will be forming anytime soon on the big screen. As Warner Bros. and DC continue forward with the DC movie universe, they are doing so with everything that’s come before. Walter Hamada now is in charge of DC Films and their long-term future and has made his presence felt already. His work on Shazam! helped get him the job and he’s since made a variety of moves to start to finalize his vision....

Ever since it was announced that Deadpool 2 would be a team-up with Cable, there have been plenty of ideas about who should play the role of the time-traveling mutant with the bionic arm. From Stephen Lang to Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, there are a number of actors who have either nominated themselves or been nominated for the part. But what if there were a man whose qualifications for the job included decades of experience as a leading man in action movies, including a Marvel superhero movie?...

Kevin Feige and co. have yet to outline exactly how Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is going to be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe now that Disney has acquired the rights to the character, but the general consensus is that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Reynolds’ R-rated take on the character is working spectacularly, and audiences really respond to his solo outings, so the Mouse House will likely keep making them, despite the fact that Deadpool doesn’t adhere to their family-friendly brand....

Batman and Superman are perhaps the two most famous superheroes of all time. They are internationally beloved characters that have been revisited countless times in both graphic novels and movies, but the DCEU’s take on these heroes remains one of the most controversial ones. Zack Snyder’s decision to tackle the two characters in Batman v Superman in was a bold project, to begin with, but his characterization of Superman as a misjudged man who makes mistakes and of Batman as a darker, faithless version of the hero didn’t please everyone....

Like crazy facts? Then Shatterstar’s your guy. Deadpool’s ally in Deadpool 2 is, after all, a time-traveling alien mutant/ Marvel’s mutants had been a big hit in the 1980s, but they were a juggernaut in the 1990s. The Marvel Universe teemed with an insane number of mutant teams, characters, and books: the X-Ternals, X-Force, X-Factor, the X-Men, X-Man, Weapon X, X-Men 2099, X-Caliber and Generation Next. Continuity, backstory, character arcs and plots all became convoluted as different writers struggled to impose, retcon and plot-twist their vision on different series....

Don Dorrity is one of the many characters that make Deadwood such a brilliant show. Set in the titular outlaw town of the Old West, the show is a violent and vulgar masterpiece that gave us three wonderful seasons and recently brought the story to a satisfying close with Deadwood: The Movie. While there are more powerful and ambitious people who oversee Deadwood’s bigger picture aspects, Dan is certainly one of the toughest residents of the very deadly town....

This article will detail both of these paths, including which degrees and certifications you will want, and will conclude with a solid recommendation for the best path to take. What is a cybersecurity consultant? This role is an all-inclusive alloy of cybersecurity skill sets and knowledge than could potentially require anywhere from a near-beginner to advanced level of expertise in cybersecurity. This means that what is demanded of a cybersecurity consultant is often not confined to one area or level of depth....

Warning: SPOILERS for Aquaman The Aquaman movie has given the Justice League star a story of his very own… and raised some serious plot holes for the larger DCEU. Some are impossible to correct and will have to be ignored, but not all of the plot holes claimed online are actually problems. Some might make the story better. Many of these changes or inconsistencies are understandable, now that we know just how different Aquaman was in Zack Snyder’s cut of the DC team-up film....

WARNING: This article contains Deadpool 2 SPOILERS They may not share the same universe, but Deadpool 2 is fully aware of Marvel’s movie heroes and villains. That doesn’t mean that fans should expect the two movie franchises to officially crossover - not yet, anyway - but it finally makes the movie version of Deadpool as pop culture aware as his comic book counterpart. Not just about the superhero movie genre in general, but the omni-present world of the MCU and its many Avengers stars....

According to the actor himself, TJ Miller will appear in Deadpool 3 if the studio forces him to attend. Miller has had a rocky career as of late, from charges of sexual abuse (which the actor denies) to reports Miller faked a bomb threat against a woman on a train, to his departure from the widely-watched series Silicon Valley. Miller, who appeared in both the original Deadpool movie as well as the surprisingly well-received sequel, was rumored to once have a larger role in the latter film, however some news outlets have suggested once news of Miller’s sexual harassment allegations came to light the studio decided it would be better to limit the amount of time Miller’s character, named Weasel, appeared on screen....

After news emerged that Jared Leto’s Joker will get his own standalone movie within the Suicide Squad universe, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista posted on Twitter that his character Drax should also get his own solo movie. With the future of the DCEU looking somewhat murky, Warner Bros. and DC appear to have settled on at least one strategy: cranking out movies centered around villains. Already in development is a Birds of Prey movie featuring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn....

Warner Bros. has announced “Justice League Day,” including a full list of goodies for fans. As we slowly inch our way towards the release of the much-anticipated superhero team-up from DC Films, the marketing for the film has been also kicked up a notch to keep fan excitement going until the movie hits theaters. Part of Warner’s elaborate promotional campaign for Justice League includes the so-called Justice League Day. The event scheduled on Novembers 18 - just a day after the movie rolls out, will be “a celebration of the most iconic Super Hero team in pop culture history” as they all come together for the first time on the big screen....

Ava DuVernay, director of DC’s New Gods, revealed on Twitter that she is hard at work on the script and might take fan suggestions into account when casting the film. DuVernay’s involvement with New Gods was announced back in 2018, around the time her previous theatrical release A Wrinkle in Time hit theaters. She then went on to direct the Netflix miniseries When They See Us, which earned a great deal of critical praise and awards nominations....

Hitting the superhero scene like the shockwave of one of her atomic blasts, the lesser-known mutant Negasonic Teenage Warhead became the unexpected scene-stealer of the willfully wild Deadpool. Texas-born ingénue Brianna Hildebrand famously strode into the audition with the bold buzz-cut that became Negasonic’s signature and won the devotion of Deadpool fans from her first snarkily arched eyebrow. So it’s no surprise that Hildebrand is poised to reprise her smirking superheroine in Deadpool 2....

Nearly a month after the merger was approved, the Department of Justice now says it will appeal the AT&T and Time Warner deal. The original deal was approved for $85.4B and had no strings attached at the time. The Department of Justice on Thursday is appealing (via Bloomberg) the case on the grounds of antitrust. It filed a two-page notice in federal court. The case will be eyed by many as this will be the first time in a long time that courts have let a merger happen where the two companies are in two very similar markets....

After two long years, hardcore Destiny 2 fans finally solved the Warmind Rasputin Alternate Reality Game (ARG) puzzle. Bungie Entertainment developed the Rasputin Chamber Puzzle ARG to promote the release of the Warmind expansion in May 2018. Destiny 2 players noticed mysterious symbols around Rasputin’s chamber that appeared to be a series of key nodes. Once players realized the symbols were somehow related to each other, the community excitedly worked to solve the puzzle....
