Pokemon Detective Pikachu WTF Questions
Warning: full SPOILERS for Pokemon Detective Pikachu!
Tim and Detective Pikachu may have cracked the case at the core of the movie, but we were still left with some big questions that don’t have obvious answers. The kind that give you a Psyduck-sized headache if you think about too much.
How Can Mewtwo Manipulate SOULS?
While Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary with a scary amount of power, its abilities have always been depicted as telekinesis and telepathy in the form of moves like Confusion, Psychic and Barrier. That’s why watching Detective Pikachu's Mewtwo merge people’s souls into Pokemon left us utterly flabbergasted. That takes Mewtwo to a godly level of power we’ve never seen before and are still having trouble comprehending.

Avengers: Endgame: Tom Holland Thought THAT Scene Was a Wedding
SPOILERS AHEAD for Avengers: Endgame.
Tony Stark's funeral at the end of Avengers: Endgame was one of the saddest and most emotional moments in the entire MCU, and it was also so secretive that Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was told that it was going to be a wedding.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live for Spider-Man: Far From Home, Holland, who is notoriously bad at keeping secrets, explained that he was preparing for a much happier event and was confused when one person in particular was not present.
PlayStation’s 2nd State of Play Proves It’s Listening to Fans
PlayStation’s second State of Play showcase came just six weeks after Sony introduced the format with a presentation that received decidedly mixed-to-negative reception. But that quick turnaround between episodes, combined with what Sony showcased this time around, show that Sony knew it needed to make some changes There’s still work to be done, but this second outing undoubtedly improved upon the first and proved Sony is listening to fan feedback, paving the way for a lot of potential in future State of Plays.
Though the first State of Play highlighted a lot of games, fans knocked it for various reasons. Its focus on PlayStation VR titles, no matter how great some of them looked — including the already released Falcon Age and the upcoming Marvel’s Iron Man VR — only spoke to a specific, small pool in among the 90+ million PS4 users. (While the holidays had plenty of PSVR sales, there absolutely should have been one announced at the end of that State of Play to make any potential buyers more likely to pick one up.)

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Is Still an Episodic Game
The first Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer in four years debuted yesterday, and today IGN learned that it will likely still be an episodic game as first announced in 2015.
Fans were pointing to a vague line in a roughly Google-translated Japanese press release for confirmation of this, and IGN reached out to Square Enix to see just how accurate that was. In response, a Square Enix representative simply pointed us back toward the press release from 2015 that initially revealed the remake would be “a multi-part series,” and that they had no further information to share beyond what had already been announced there.
Wachowskis May Not Be Involved With Matrix Sequel After All
UPDATE: A representative for Chad Stahelski has walked back their client's Matrix/Wachowskis comments quoted below.
"His comments were in response to a hypothetical scenario were the Wachowskis would be involved and he did not confirm them being attached to the new film," according to /Film. IGN reached out to Warner Bros. for additional comment and will further update this story if they respond.
The original report follows.
The Wachowski siblings are working on a fourth Matrix movie, according to John Wick 3 director Chad Stahelski.
Talking to Yahoo Movies UK, Stahelski said: “I’m super happy that the Wachowskis are not just doing a Matrix, but they’re expanding what we all loved. And if it’s anywhere near the level of what they’ve already done, it wouldn’t take more than a call to go, ‘Hey, we want you to be a stunt guy’ and I would probably go and get hit by a car.”
Avengers: Endgame Directors Hint They Would Return for Doctor Doom
Avengers: Endgame’s directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, have suggested that the right story would pull them back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Last month the sibling directors said that Avengers: Endgame marks their final collaboration with Marvel Studios. However, in an interview with Business Insider, the pair have said that they would be willing to return under the right conditions.
Lobo Trailer for Krypton Season 2 Revealed
Back in October of 2018, we learned that Guardians of the Galaxy alum Emmett J. Scanlan would bring the interstellar mercenary to life in Season 2 of Krypton. Per Syfy, Lobo is "a ruthless bounty hunter, who murdered his entire species, and possesses a genius level intellect when it comes to matters of warfare, making him a deadly adversary."
For a closer look at the alien in action, check out the new trailer below:
IGN asked Scanlan if he drew inspiration from any of the previous Lobo interactions - comic books, DC animated series, etc. "Comic books, yes for sure," Scanlan explained. "Plus I was surrounded by a team of Lobo fanatics. Cam Welsh (showrunner) and Cam Cuffe (Seg-El) know their Lobo inside out. My barometer was 'Are they happy?' My job was to inject life into this beast, and with the boys, the comics, the scripts, and the world already built, I had a plethora of stuff to pick from... Once I found the characters inner music, his heartbeat, I just danced."
Denis Dyack Learned Nothing Is Impossible From Hideo Kojima
Denis Dyack has made his fair share of interesting, groundbreaking games, but even he never saw the chance to make a Metal Gear game coming. That’s just what happened when the late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto sat down and informed Dyack, then the president of Silicon Knights, he’d be working with Hideo Kojima himself.
For Dyack, the biggest takeaway from working on what would become Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was that nothing is impossible in game development. He took the chance elaborate during this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered with Ryan McCaffrey (see the full episode below).
