It might be Thor’s name in the title of the new Marvel blockbuster, but it’s the kickass women of the movie that steal all the scenes. Tessa Thompson, who you might have previously spotted in Westworld, plays Valkyrie, a traumatized warrior turned scrapper. It’s something that you wouldn’t necessarily get in this movie, but it’s cool that there’s representation in the comic books.” Thor: Ragnarok is in theaters on November 3 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo

Our Stranger Things season 2 review is now live, offering you a sneak peek into the quiet town of Hawkins, Indiana ahead of the show’s premiere on October 27. But whether you’re reading our review or sitting down and getting ready to binge watch one of Netflix’s spookiest series, you’ll want to be caught up on everything that happened in Stranger Things season 1. That’s where our Stranger Things season 1 recap comes in. It’ll tell you everything you need to know heading into the new season – who

Watching the Walking Dead season 8 premiere, you might’ve thought you heard Queen’s famous song “Another One Bites The Dust” playing in the background during Rick’s visions of the future. After all, a song about people dropping dead on a show about the zombie apocalypse makes perfect sense, right? But it was actually Weird Al Yankovic’s parody song, “Another One Rides The Bus”. Viewers seemed to be caught more off-guard by the childish song than any of the show’s violence (or threats of violence

Lord Shaxx shouts encouragement to participants of The Crucible in Destiny 2 and next he may even start educating them on The Bard. “And before I started my interviews today I was looking through his lines, and in the new incarnation he quotes Shakespeare, and it’s really… it’s quite a lovely line”. And James referenced a similar – but definitely different – Shaxx line when GameSpot asked him for a favorite. “There is one where he kind of quotes Shakespeare,” James said. But given the fact tha

The Taiwanese subtitles for Star Wars: The Last Jedi may hold the key to whom Luke and Snoke are really talking to in that new trailer, if one fan’s interpretation is correct. And yes, you’re absolutely right – it is pretty much just like when international posters for The Last Jedi seemed to reveal whether the word “Jedi” was singular or plural. Over on r/SequelMemes , Reddit user SleepingAran writes that when Snoke says, “When I found you,” the “you” is feminine. SleepingAran also notes that w

The voyages of Star Trek Discovery will continue for a second season. CBS announced in a post on the series’ official site that the new show has been officially renewed, with nine more episodes to go in the first season (and we still have some questions after watching Star Trek Discovery episode 6). Not only is this good news for the show, it’s also an affirmation for the CBS All Access streaming service that serves as Discovery’s exclusive home in the US and Canada. Huge spoiler for tonight’s e

Destiny 2 hits the PC tomorrow, on Wednesday, October 24. No mere port, Destiny 2 on PC is a full-fat, bespoke version of the game, developed side-by-side with the console editions to be, well, everything a PC version of Destiny 2 should be. But know for now that if you were waiting for the PC version before making a buying decision on Destiny 2, your wait looks to have been entirely justified. If you’re a staunch PC player, deprived of Bungie’s unique brand of FPS since Halo 2, you have a hell

Like almost any game elevated from greatness to cultish reverence, Beyond Good & Evil was a commercial flop. It’s part melee brawler; part racing game; part photography masterclass; part stealth actioner and all science-fiction melodrama. For the menacing DomZ – the alien threat in Beyond Good & Evil – Héral fashioned an entirely new language of guttural, rolling ‘r’s, and took the time to record all the voices of Hillys’ background inhabitants himself. Despite having so many moving parts, Beyo

I like to complete my films.”Despite the Thor saga’s past issues with departing directors, Taika Waititi completes with rollicking style on his Asgard trip. Ragnarok finds its supremely funny footing here, starting the minute Tessa Thompson’s perma-drunk Valkyrie tipsily loses her footing and swipes Hiddleston’s comic scene-stealing crown. She wins by dint of blazing charisma but she is underused, reduced to oozing malignantly around Asgard and spearing victims. THE VERDICT: Quoth Thor: “Yes!” A

Original Xbox games are about to become backwards compatible on Xbox One. Starting October 24, you’ll be able to use your already-existing discs (if you’ve held onto them this long) or download more than a dozen OG Xbox games directly to your modern-day console. So if you still have an original Xbox lying around and multiple copies of, say, Crimson Skies, you could have one person playing on Xbox One (or Xbox One S or Xbox One X) and the other playing on the original Microsoft console. Xbox plat

Nintendo Switch update 4.0 added video capture and more good stuff to the system, but it also came with some new sound troubles. After installing the latest update, some Switch owners report choppy audio or no audio at all when playing games in docked mode. Crummy timing – Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo Switch’s biggest exclusive game yet, is set to arrive on Friday. From the reports I’ve seen, docked audio should work fine if you can play your Switch’s audio directly through your TV speakers. Ho

It’s perhaps fitting, then, that WWE 2K18 runs the full spectrum of emotions in every play session. Just Bring It on PS2, you’re able to play out octagonal onslaughts in both Battle Royal and four-on-four tag-team flavours. After all: most WWE fans buy the WWE game to play as WWE wrestlers, not fictional, blow-up-doll reincarnations of themselves. As such, there has to be an impact on the final score, which otherwise would be pushing towards five-star territory. Confident and brimming with abili

As its name implies, The Walking Dead is a show filled to the blood-soaked brim with death. Lots and lots of death. Try not to get too teary eyed, I’m sure they’re in a better place (well, maybe not the Governor…). Consider yourself a Walking Dead superstar. Alternatively, you can also catch up on The Walking Dead season 7 with our ultimate recap video, which is the perfect opportunity to remind yourself where Rick and the gang are at before you watch the season 8 premiere.

The Walking Dead season 8 certainly kicked off with a bang. There were explosions a-plenty in the season premiere, a few interesting teases, and more zombies than you can shake Morgan’s stick at. Read on to find out… Spoilers for The Walking Dead season 8 premiereThere’s only one place we can start. The Walking Dead season 8 premiere: yay or nay? No memes here, but there are 9 questions we have after watching The Walking Dead season 8 premiere.

“If only you knew how little I knew about the things that matter,” drawls Elio (Timothée Chalamet) halfway through Call Me By Your Name. In a film that floats between coming-of-age ennui and heart-stopping moments of beauty, this is the first time Elio talks openly about his feelings. When Elio talks of “things that matter” it’s relatable no matter your gender or orientation. Of course, there are also Ray-Bans and ‘Love My Way’ by The Psychedelic Furs; the magic of Guadagnino’s film is in its de

For a season premiere and 100th episode anniversary, Mercy was a surprisingly restrained outing for The Walking Dead , favouring cryptic teases and narrative ambiguity over any shock moments or explicit character cullings. However, we still don’t really know when this scene is taking place, or if it’s even real. Firstly, why does Rick look so much older when both Michonne and Carl appear to have barely aged a day? Is this just what he imagines a future Alexandria will look like once the Saviours

But The Walking Dead season 8 premiere, Mercy, is definitely doing its best to prove that there’s a change in the tides for the show, promising major action and a whole lot of drama even from the opening moments. And after the ‘woe is me’ monotony of season 7, it all feels very refreshing. It’s something The Walking Dead has been guilty of for some time, and I’d hoped things would be a little tighter this time around. Thankfully because the focus of this premiere episode is about action rather t
