With a little help from billionaire Elon Musk, the former Cara Dune from The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for wrongful termination! On top of that, we are getting a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, absent Johnny Depp, Kiera Knightly, and Orlando Bloom. Instead, the cast will be younger and led by a black woman.

We can't have anything nice as gamers without developers jackhammering their own personal, "modern politics" into them.

It's official! We're getting Beetlejuice 2 this fall, and we now have the name of the film and the release date on top of some returning stars and new big names for the cast! The search is finally over! It's confirmed that Milly Alcock has been cast as the new Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow in James Gunn's DC Universe. GO FIGURE! Sure, it's just a rumor at this point, but it seems totally plausible. The MCU wants to bring back Iron Fist, but not as Danny Rand. No, no! It has to be a strong, independent, girl boss. Could it be...possibly...for once...Marvel is actually abandoning "diversity" in favor of comic accurate casting? It seems that way! "The Golden Guardian" Sentry will be played in The Thunderbolts by Lewis Pullman!

Another day, another controversy around Disney's upcoming Snow White remake. Not only does it look like Rachel Zegler's screen time might get cut for a younger actress, but Zegler and Gal Gadot may be feuding over the Palestine/Israel conflict.

There have been a lot of opinions surrounding the 8th and final season of Game of Thrones. It was one of the most watched shows of all time, a gigantic, international hit for HBO, and the way it ended fell pretty flat.

Localizers for Japanese media are people who "translate" it for English-speaking audiences.

For years, Disney has allowed Kathleen Kennedy to take over Lucasfilm and run the Star Wars brand completely into the ground.
