Evangelion Director is Making a New Ultraman Movie
Hideaki Anno, the infamous director of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla, is set to write and produce a new Ultraman film, according to Japan Today via Game Informer.
The new Ultraman film, titled “Shin Ultraman,” will be directed by Shinji Higuchi, who also co-directed 2016’s Shin Godzilla with Anno. Higuchi is also known as a writer on Evangelion, and a director on Attack on Titan. The similar titles (“Shin” translates to “new”) is surely intentional, given the co-director’s artistic direction they took on the Godzilla film. IGN gave Shin Godzilla an 8.5 out of 10, saying it “establishes its own unique style while taking inspiration from the classics in all the right ways.”

Fortnite Fans Have Harsh Words for Season 10’s Mechs
The B.R.U.T.E. mech is one of the most prominent additions to Fortnite Battle Royale Season 10, and it hasn't taken long for fans to express just how much they dislike it and other changes that have come to Fortnite's latest season.
The B.R.U.T.E is a two-person bipedal vehicle where one player controls its movement while the other is in charge of its weapons - though a single player can operate it alone by switching between moving and attacking. Capable of firing powerful missiles and shotgun blasts, fans consider the addition to be highly overpowered, and even the most accomplished Fortnite pros are frequently falling to its barrages.
Even those who prefer building can't easily escape its reign of destruction, as it can tear through buildings and built objects with ease. They can, of course, be destroyed, but their considerable firepower, solid pool of health and Overshield mechanic make that a difficult task.
