Marvel’s Kevin Feige Responds to Gay Controversy in Avengers: Endgame
While doing press for Spider-Man: Far From Home, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige responded to the gay controversy in Avengers: Endgame. And we’re not talking about how the movie showed characters sporting a glowing rainbow glove knowing full well they were wearing Pride apparel before June!
Feige responded to a question from io9 about how the LGBTQ+ community was disappointed with how Marvel debuted the first ever gay character in an MCU movie. But before we get to what the Marvel mastermind said, we should point out who we're talking about, as it was a character who was easy to miss. We’re referring to the man in the group therapy scene with Steve Rogers who talks about his date with another man that ended in tears. There have been a few different sticking points with this from both queer fans and allies.
Tom Holland Details His Nixed Into the Spider-Verse Cameo
Spider-Man actor Tom Holland has revealed what his cut cameo from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was going to be.
Speaking with the UK outlet JOE, Holland revealed "At one point I was supposed to be in it. There was going to be another Peter Parker. There was like a scene in a train station or something, it was gonna be like an Easter egg. I was gonna walk through the background and say like 'Hey, kid' or something. Never happened.” To this, he added: "Heartbroken.”

How Marvel’s War of the Realms Changes Thor Forever
Marvel's latest crossover event has changed the god of thunder forever.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for War of the Realms #6!
Thor has been through a real rough patch lately. He lost the ability to wield Mjolnir in 2014's Original Sin, followed by his left arm. These defeats lead to Jane Foster taking up the hammer and the mantle of Thor. And even though the Odinson recently reclaimed that mantle, Mjolnir itself was destroyed in the heart of the sun, leaving Thor to settle for an armory of lesser hammers instead.
A Narrative-Driven PUBG Game Will Require a Complete Gameplay Overhaul
There's a new PUBG game coming, and it's not a battle royale. It's not a sequel, either. In fact, it's "an original narrative experience within the PUBG universe," according to the PUBG Corporation. Glen Schofield, formerly of Sledgehammer and Visceral Games, is leading up PUBG Corporation's new studio 'Striking Distance' to build this new PUBG game.
The gameplay is going to require a complete, ground-up rebuild, though.
If you've ever played one of the custom PUBG modes, like death match, you know the game doesn't lend itself well to being played outside its battle royale comfort zone. With all the hundreds of hours I have into PUBG, I still don't like how the guns feel.

The Top 25 DC Heroes
It's been over 80 years since Superman first debuted in the pages of Action Comics #1 and jump-started the superhero genre. Since then, DC has spawned thousands of heroes and villains across countless comics, TV series, movies, and video games. But through it all, a select few have emerged as the best of the best. We hear that Batman fellow is still pretty popular.
With the DC Universe constantly growing and expanding in comics, TV, movies and games, it's all the more important to remember those heroes who have defended it all this time. That's why we're counting down the 25 greatest heroes who live and fight in the DC Universe. Obviously that leaves out independent DC franchises like Fables and Y: The Last Man, and we also left out the Sandman crew, as they're a bit above the concept of good and evil. But everyone else in the DCU is fair game. Read on to see which heroes made the cut, and let us know your favorites in the comments section below.
AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation and Aorus Push SSD Speeds to 15,000MB/s
Shortly after AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation processors hit the scene, we’ve been seeing NVMe SSDs break all sorts of sequential read and write speed records approaching 5,000MB/s. However, Gigabyte’s premium gaming brand, Aorus, has managed to blow past the 5K Rubicon and deliver an 8TB setup that runs up to 15,000MB/s read and 15,200MB/s write.
This incredibly speedy drive from Aorus is actually made up of four individual 2TB NVMe SSDs strapped together on an add-in card (AIC) that plugs into a PCIe 4.0 x 16 slot on an X570 motherboard. Typically, these drives would max out at 5,000MB/s just like the latest PCIe 4.0 SSDs from Corsair and Patriot, but Aorus went one step further and arranged the drives in a RAID 0 arrangement to multiply its sequential data transfer speeds.
