James Gunn, Joss Whedon and MCU Directors Reunited for Infinity War
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is now available on Digital HD, and along with all of the usual special features like deleted scenes, a gag reel and a commentary track, there is also a Director’s Roundtable that runs just over 32 minutes long.
MCU directors Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Iron Man 2), Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), James Gunn (Guardians 1 and 2), Peyton Reed (Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp), Joss Whedon (Avengers 1 and 2) and the Russo Brothers (Captain America 2-3, Infinity War) all gathered together to discuss working within the MCU, and there is even a special appearance from Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), who was Skype’d in from Prague.
There were a number of interesting revelations within this roundtable, so we’re breaking down our 15 favorite items.
Dennis to Appear in ‘Pretty Much Every’ It’s Always Sunny: Season 13 Episode
The gang's going to be all back together for the majority of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 13. Stars/producers Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day confirmed that Glenn Howerton's character will return for "pretty much every episode" in the forthcoming season on FXX.
"He's in pretty much every episode," said McElhenney, with Day adding, "He's in the majority of them, and then we have a couple ... that focus more specifically on other characters."
"Everything just worked out from a schedule standpoint," Day later added to IGN of Howerton's return. "Dennis -- or some form of Dennis --
can see in the show a lot. The type of Dennis that they see -- and I can't always guarantee that it will be the actor -- but the spirit of Dennis will be there."
Fox Intends to Keep The Simpsons After the Disney Merger
With the $71.3 billion USD Disney/Fox deal that will see Disney purchasing Fox's entertainment assets gaining ground, Fox is standing firm and will fight to keep ownership of The Simpsons for the foreseeable future.
Speaking at the Fox TV Critics Association press tour, Fox CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman explained why the Simpsons means so much to the network and their plans for the future.
"SIMPSONS is so much a part of the brand. There’s been such an incredible halo effect of that show and the other animated series that are on our Sunday night. There are no plans for them to go anywhere other than FOX." Walden said.
"We have a couple years of episodes already in progress on THE SIMPSONS. So down the line, what kind of decision is made I can’t really speak to." Walden stated. "But for the foreseeable future, there’s so much upside and benefit to having a great Emmy Award winning, smart, provocative, quality show, that there’s no consideration of not ordering more SIMPSONS."
Destiny 2 Players Have Spent 25 Years Deleting 800 Million Shaders
Destiny 2 players have collectively crossed a rather unfortunate milestone. According to calculations made on Reddit, players have spent over 25 years erasing shaders, which function as armor and weapon dyes in Destiny 2.
In a post on its website, Bungie revealed players have deleted 807,635,124 shaders to date. With shaders taking one second each to delete, Reddit user SlickeryV calculated this would have collectively taken 25.6 years to achieve.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Ended 10 Years Ago and It Was Perfect
Update: With the news coming today that a live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Netflix, we figured it was the perfect time to reflect once again on how perfect the original series' finale was. Read on for our thoughts on that classic episode...
Full spoilers follow for Avatar: The Last Airbender.
How many TV shows can you name off the top of your head that had an ending that met your expectations or appreciation of what came before? More often than not, we run into a series that overstays its welcome. Perhaps its story gets stretched to absurdity to meet the demand for more seasons (see Lost). Maybe its characters, perpetually upping the ante in shenanigans or drama, stray from their story arcs, becoming exaggerated parodies of their formerly endearing selves (think Andy in The Office, or Andrea in The Walking Dead). And sometimes shows pull a Dexter, and… well, we all remember Dexter.

Why FX’s Y Ditched ‘The Last Man’
After a long journey to officially getting a Hollywood adaptation, Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra's Y the Last Man is finally making its way to the small screen. But when FX announced its pilot order for a Y: The Last Man series back in April, the network surprised audiences when it announced the show would be simply called "Y."
FX CEO John Landgraf explained to members of the TV Critics' Association that the idea to simplify the title had multiple benefits to the show.
"I guess you tend to see one or two word titles," he said, acknowledging that there are some exceptions to the "Breaking Bad"s of the world. He added of the appeal of the one-letter title, "'Y' seems like a provocative shape. We can do a lot with it graphically. It's a little mysterious."
