Does Dark Phoenix Have a Post-Credits Scene?

Dark Phoenix is now in theaters, which means you may be wondering, is there anything after the credits? While the X-Men movies have only intermittently included post credits scenes -- most notably Days of Future Past and Apocalypse -- they haven't been like the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in terms of end credit scene surprises.

And with the X-Men now a part of the Disney empire, the current franchise comes to an end with Dark Phoenix (and, yes, 2020's The New Mutants is the final X-related movie to be released by 20th Century Fox.)

Every Game at E3 2019… Almost

Between EA Play, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Bethesda, and Square Enix's press conferences, the Nintendo Direct and Treehouse, Google Stadia Connect, the Kinda Funny Games Showcase, Devolver Digital's showcase, the PC Gaming Show, the Indiecade showcase, the E3 Coliseum, and so much more, it's kind of impossible to count every single game that made an appearance in and around E3 2019 in some way. But we can try!

Here's almost every game at E3 2019 and where you can read more about them.

Cyberpunk 2077

One of the biggest reveals during Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference was Cyberpunk 2077's release date, April 16, 2020, which was announced with the help of surprise guest star Keanu Reeves. New gameplay details and an hour-long hands-off demo has answered a ton of questions, and raised some new ones.

Doctor Sleep Recreated So Many Iconic Shots From The Shining

The first teaser trailer for Doctor Sleep has been released, and horror fans may have noticed some very familiar shots in the new footage. Many viewers assumed that director Mike Flanagan was simply reusing footage from The Shining in his spooky sequel - especially since the end of the trailer also utilizes a few bars of the ominous main title theme from the Stanley Kubrick classic, which was composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind.

If you haven't seen the new Doctor Sleep trailer, watch it here:

Planet Zoo Looks Like the Deep Zoo Sim of Jack Hanna’s Dreams

Many sims are best played from a god-like perspective. You're in charge, so you need to view the action from high up. You oversee large-scale projects, like constructing skyscrapers, re-routing highways, designing roller coasters, and populating entire worlds. You can play Planet Zoo from a distant vantage, and sometimes you'll need to. But based on the hands-off demo the developers walked me through at E3 2019, the real fun in Planet Zoo happens on the ground.

Down there is where you'll find giraffes pulling leaves off trees, where saltwater crocodiles bathe in the sun, where cheetahs get restless and sprint the perimeter of their enclosure. The animals are incredibly detailed (provided your GPU is up to the task), from the bears' intricate fur shading to the reptiles' glossy, reflective scales. I'm no zoologist, but the animations looked convincing, too. And the poop? There's so much poop.

The Comics That Inspired Marvel’s Avengers

We've had our first look at Square-Enix's eagerly anticipated Marvel's Avengers game over the past few days. One thing that's quickly become apparent is that the game is pulling from all corners of the Avengers franchise, from the movies to the comics. And according to the game's lead creative director and writer, Shaun Escayg, Marvel's Avengers will draw from two Marvel books in particular - Marvels and West Coast Avengers.

Read on for a breakdown of what these two books are and what this connection tells us about the conflict and themes at work in Marvel's Avengers.

Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a Delightful Orwellian Nightmare

When I first saw the reveal trailer for Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory, I made the assumption that it was some sort of management simulator, similar to Prison Architect or a comedic version of Observation. Thankfully, I was incredibly wrong.

Unaware that developer Black Shamrock had secured the rights to the tabletop RPG of the same name, I was excited to learn that Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a compelling mix of classic isometric RPGs and tactical combat sims set in a hilariously absurd Orwellian nightmare.

The world of Paranoia is a far-future automated habitat known as Alpha Complex, where everyone is Happy™. Happiness™, in this scenario, means thoroughly medicated and pacified by the various agents of the very good and kind, and definitely not-at-all evil supreme overlord of your little world, Friend Computer.
