Warning - This article contains spoilers for Moon Knight. The finale for Moon Knight, the latest Disney+ show from Marvel Studios, certainly did not disappoint. With plenty of action and emotional highs and lows, the episode wrapped up (most of) the plot threads fans had been given so far. Interestingly, it also took an extra step in elevating May Calamawy’s Layla El-Faouly to full-fledged superhero status when she accepted the mantle of Tawetet’s Avatar....

Despite remaining decidedly hush on certain aspects of the film, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have started to roll out a few more details about Spider-Man: No Way Home in the leadup to its December 17, 2021 release. In addition to the movie’s second trailer, several TV spots and teasers have unveiled new footage including a conversation between Doc-Ock and Doctor Strange. An official piece of No Way Home merchandise also seems to feature Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man suit, alluding to his potential appearance in the film....

Shazam! swooped into theaters just over three years ago to introduce audiences to an all-new hero: Zachary Levi’s Billy Batson. The festive family tale told the story of a young boy in search of his mother, who inherits powers from an ancient wizard, turning him into a fully grown man when activated. After Shazam! proved to be a critical and financial success, the light-hearted blockbuster will see two follow-ups released this year alone....

Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar revealed why the series was able to break the canon of Superman comics.Long before the DCU existed, Smallville was one of the first television series to focus on a major comic book hero. Airing from 2001 to 2011, the series focused on Clark Kent in his teenage years and explored the events that led to him becoming Superman.The series was always steeped in Superman lore and incorporated familiar characters like Lois Lane, Lex Luthor and Jonathan and Martha Kent....

If you can’t afford a Segway, what about half of one? While the two-wheeled personal transporter can set you back by $5,000 or more, a new one-wheel, Segway-inspired model called the Solowheel is due to go on sale for a mere $1,500 in the U.S., starting in March. Impress your friends, work on your balance, and most of all, watch out for bikes and people that still walk. Walking is really retro these days, with more bikes on the road, and people leaving their cars parked in light of revolution-inspired high gas prices....

This background info about the new corporate fashion favorite might rub you the wrong way. The Wall Street Journal has declared the fleece vest to be the new male corporate uniform of America. Gone are the days of wool slacks and sports coats were de rigueur. Now a button-up shirt, cotton chinos, and the aforementioned vest are more than sufficient to look professional. I am a big fan of maximum physical comfort when it comes to clothes....

Almost no movie in history has had the buzz that’s surrounded Spider-Man: No Way Home, which will soon make its long-awaited debut in theaters. Taking into account that this movie almost didn’t come to fruition at all due to behind-the-scenes drama from Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, it’s something of a minor miracle that it’s arguably the biggest theatrical event since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Looking at this film’s current state, five villains from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies are confirmed to play a role alongside Tom Holland’s MCU web-slinger....

A major element of the excitement for new Star Wars projects is the publishing of tie-in initiatives that accompany major releases. Each of the films under Disney’s Star Wars era have had waves of novels, comics, guides, and activity books connected at the hip, giving fans a more immersive experience in the galaxy far, far away. The same is the case for The Mandalorian. Last Fall, Lucasfilm announced a publishing program tying into Disney+’s hit live-action series, though things have gone off with a bit of a hitch....

When I wrote about the record-breaking yields being achieved through SRI (System of Rice Intensification) rice growers, I was excited about the reports of poor farmers growing more rice with less water, fewer pesticides and fewer fertilizers than they would otherwise have used. By feeding the soil biology with compost, focusing on the health of individual rice seedlings, and by drastically reducing the amount of flooding in rice fields, these farmers were rethinking almost every aspect of how rice has been grown in recent times (not to mention, many aspects of traditional rice farming too....

Thor: Love and Thunder’s release date is approaching at lightning speed and the stars of the film have been busy building hype for the sequel. Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo adventure sees him take on one of the God of Thunder’s iconic comic book villains in Gorr the God Butcher, who is played by veteran superhero actor Christian Bale. Bale is just one of many A-list stars in Thor: Love and Thunder, which brings both new and returning characters to the screen....

Thor: Love and Thunder has just recently broken quite an annoying record: it now holds the number one spot when it comes to the shortest amount of time between the first teaser trailer and the same project’s release date. Fans are starting to go into a frenzy. No doubt, summoning circles have likely started forming in order to try and pry some footage out of Marvel Studios HQ. While it’s no trailer, recently new leaked images emerged from the upcoming line of Marvel Legends figures for Chris Hemsworth’s upcoming next MCU venture....

The ongoing production for Spider-Man 3 is bringing some of the most exciting news in the MCU, while also revealing nothing about what’s actually happening in the movie. The web-slinger’s trilogy will end with more action and craziness than either of his previous solo movies as he tackles the multiverse alongside Doctor Stephen Strange. This threequel should also serve as a homecoming of sorts, after most of Spider-Man: Far From Home saw Peter Parker and his friends overseas in Europe....

Spider-Man 3 has had a bombardment of news in the way of castings and character rumors as of late. Everything kicked off with the announcement that Jamie Foxx would be reprising his role as Electro in the MCU, leading to rampant speculation as to how he will be included. This was followed by another bombshell that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange would be joining the film, acting as a mentor to Peter....

Cat-proofing your home can be a challenge, especially when frisky felines get access to every nook and cranny of the house. Start by limiting access to stringy items such as dental floss, shoelaces or yarn that can get caught in a cat’s intestinal system. It also pays to remove toxic items from your home, particularly plants. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals operates a poison control hotline (1-888-426-4435) that handles more than 160,000 calls each year for accidental poisoning....

So. Do you put things in the dishwasher that aren’t dishes? I mean, aside from other kitchenware … items like baseball hats or Crocs or raw salmon? We wouldn’t judge you if you did. In this age of hacks, the dishwasher has become a favorite ally in cleaning all manners of curious objects – and in the case of salmon, of cooking things too. (In case you missed it, dishwasher cuisine is a definite thing....

We do love a good gadget project. From tinkering with Raspberry Pi microcomputers to automating our own homes, to coming up with cool renewable energy projects…we can’t stay away. 1. Raspberry Pi Hack Unlocks Door When It Hears a Dog’s Bark Maker David Hunt created a clever hack for a door for dog owners who are tired of getting up to let Fido outside. Called Pi-Rex, it is a bark-activated (note, not voice activated, but bark activated) door....

Marvel Studios is currently building towards debuting the next iteration of the Avengers, but that isn’t the only team building in the MCU. Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina appears to be assembling the Thunderbolts, Blade looks to be uniting the Midnight Sons, and Phase 4 has been introducing a curious amount of younger heroes, setting the stage for the Young Avengers. The trend kickstarted with Billy and Tommy Maximoff (Wiccan and Speed) in WandaVision and continued with Eli Bradley (Patriot), Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), America Chavez, and Kamala Khan (Ms....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania features yet another star-studded cast for the MCU’s 10th Phase 4 movie, including more than a handful of veterans from the first two shrinking outings. Included in that cast is Michelle Pfeiffer, who returns for her second portrayal of the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne, after her making Marvel debut in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. Pfeiffer should have the opportunity for an expanded role in the MCU threequel after spending most of her first movie trapped in the Quantum Realm, eventually leaving with Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym....

For decades, Aquaman was among the most disregarded superheroes out there, as many struggled to take the nature of the character seriously. That was all until Jason Mamoa reinvented the hero for the DCEU, having made his debut in Justice League before going on to star in James Wan’s Aquaman, which now sits in the ten highest-grossing comic book movies of all time. Aquaman’s solo debut took saw him face off against his power-hungry brother Orm, the King of Atlantis who seeks to conquer the surface world....
