Marvel Comics’ 2019 sales figures demonstrate the scale of the challenge facing Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Feige. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has become something of a legend in Hollywood. He’s the mastermind behind the MCU, and frankly appears to be the darling of Disney Pictures; in his autobiography The Ride of a Lifetime, Disney CEO Bob Iger rhapsodizes over Feige’s skill and creative vision. In October, Feige was officially promoted to Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment....

The end of Marvel Television will leave a staggering number of plots unresolved. It’s long been clear that the writing has been on the wall for Marvel Television; the last few years have seen a number of high-profile missteps, most notably Inhumans and Iron Fist. What’s more, the relationship between Marvel Television and Netflix deteriorated at remarkable speed, with the streaming giant canceling its Marvel shows one by one. In October, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was given an expanded remit as Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment....

Back in November, some developers raised concerns due to a change in macOS Big Sur, which allowed Apple apps to bypass firewall filters in any situation.

Marvel Studios has officially announced a Moon Knight TV series that will stream exclusively on Disney+.

There have long been rumblings that Marvel Studios was interested in developing Moon Knight as a part of the MCU; in fact, back in 2017 James Gunn even pitched an idea for a movie to Marvel execs but decided he simply didn’t have the time to work on it....

In the comic book world, few events made as many waves last year as the reveal of the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, as a Hydra agent. His Cosmic Cube-retconned story has also provided one of the most winding and riveting story arcs in the four-color realm this year. By way of his meddling in Civil War II and his own complex and disturbing backstory, Rogers has become a compellingly complex character and a devious adversary in his own right....

Sony’s Masters of the Universe movie may have found its He-Man in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’s Noah Centineo.

Mad Men’s Peggy Olson, played by Elisabeth Moss, was an inspiration to so many women in the 2010s.

Betty Draper from Mad Men is so much more than a 1950s housewife. She is also a fashion icon that stands out in an incredibly fashionable TV show. Seriously. If there is any TV character who deserves the award for the greatest sense of style, January Jones’s complex character on the AMC series takes the crown without a doubt. Mad Men is a brilliant TV show with excellent plot lines and unforgettable characters, yet sometimes we are totally distracted by all of the drama that’s going on because we’re too busy focusing on the breathtaking costumes the show boasts....

Truth is often stranger than fiction. If it’s not, fiction takes the truth and piles on some extra strange. Fantasy stories might seem far removed from reality, but they are often rooted in our milquetoast world. For instance, dragon mythology may have been the result of ancient humans misinterpreting dinosaur fossils or whale bones. Numerous magical artifacts throughout pop-culture have real life counterparts as well. There’s a treasure trove of wondrous doodads in Netflix’s new show The Order, so let’s do some investigating and see what may have inspired those cinematic RPG items....

In all of Marvel history, the Kree and Skrull races have never gotten along. The two have had galaxy-spanning wars, most popularized in the early 1970s Avengers comics. But in 2020 the Kree-Skrull War is going to be re-examined – beginning with Road to Empyre: The Kree/Skrull War. In 2019’s Meet the Skrulls by Robbie Thompson, Niko Henrichon, and Marcos Martin, a group of Skrulls go undercover on Earth as the ‘Warner’ family, who are gathering data for the next Skrull invasion....
