SPOILERS: Dark Phoenix Villains’ Connection to the Avengers
Warning: Full spoilers follow for Dark Phoenix.
There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding Jessica Chastain’s villain character in the latest X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix. We now know that she plays the Marvel character Vuk, who is a member of the alien D’Bari race. But leading up to the film’s release, director Simon Kinberg would only acknowledge that she was in fact playing an alien, while keeping her true identity a mystery. But beyond that it was just one big question mark. Or one big X mark in this case.
But Dark Phoenix has now arrived, and so the truth is out there! While the White Queen, or Lilandra of the Shi’ar space empire, or even Cassandra Nova have all been popular fan theories about which Marvel villain Chastain might’ve been playing, the revelation that she appears as the little known Vuk from the alien race the D’Bari is a bit of a letdown.
Valuing Each Individual: Haruyoshi Sawatari on Working in Games After Final Fantasy 15
It can be difficult to have a voice in Japan, not least of all because social conformity is hammered home pretty hard right from the beginning of one’s schooling, if not at home before then. Students serve each other lunch and, allergies aside, everyone eats the same thing. Show up to class with a haircut that may be considered fairly mild on the ‘wild’ scale, and someone in the staffroom may straight-up take you to get it changed. As with many things, there are pros and cons to this: on one hand, individuality being somewhat suppressed can be restrictive of expression; on the other, it potentially gives rise to greater awareness and consideration for those around you.
Go to school. If you’re a square peg, just grit it out while you get beaten into a round hole. Graduate. Go and work for a large company. They’ll take care of you, pay your salary, contribute to your pension and insurance, likely ignore your feedback. Sometimes it can take something like a giant wrecking ball, rolling through and tearing up everything in a city to inspire people to see things differently.
Wearing a Hat for Your Audience: Koji Igarashi on Why Bloodstained Should Delight His Fanbase
There’s wine on the floor. At least, we’ve been led to believe that there is. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’s 2015 Kickstarter began with a video in which one Koji Igarashi shatters a glass of wine against a hard castle floor. Now, with the delayed release of the game finally close enough for its vampiric breath to tickle the hairs on your nape, he’s gone and done it again. Another glass of wine wasted, this time in the name of Bloodstained's release date reveal trailer.

There Are DC Easter Eggs in Annabelle 3
Annabelle Comes Home is the latest in the ever-growing Conjuring-verse, the New Line horror franchise that’s become nothing short of a Hollywood powerhouse. In last year's Aquaman -- which was helmed by the creator of The Conjuring, James Wan -- the two Warner Bros. worlds collided as Annabelle made a blink and you'll miss it cameo. The demonic doll also popped up in Shazam!, which was produced by Annabelle producer Peter Saffran.
