What Is Wolverine’s Startling Secret?
Wolverine's resurrection in Marvel Legacy #1 is just the beginning of the character's latest journey. Today Marvel hinted at some big things to come for the iconic X-Man in 2018, including the revelation of Wolverine's "startling secret."
Last week, Marvel teased Wolverine's role in a new Infinity Stone-focused storyline beginning in February 2018. But before that story begins, fans will be treated to a new Wolverine adventure serialized in the pages of several ongoing Marvel books. Marvel's press release referred to these story segments "after-credit scenes," clearly looking to invoke the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's post-credits teasers.
Why Kylo Ren Rebelled Against His Parents
Star Wars actor Adam Driver has opened up on why Kylo Ren turned to the dark side and abandoned his parents in the current trilogy.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor explained that his character felt that his parents Leia and Han cared more about the rebellion than their son.
“I think the idea of someone whose parents are very much devoted to the cause, that’s something a lot of people could relate to, whether it be religion or politics or a business,” Driver explained. “Not identifying with
yourself, I think can give someone a complex."
With the events of The Force Awakens, Driver believes Kylo is still coming to terms with what he's done.
Opinion: New EiC Is Good for Marvel Comics
The past couple weeks have been a real roller coaster for Marvel Comics fans. First came the news that writer Brian Michael Bendis is leaving the company for DC after 18 years. Now today, we learned that Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso has stepped down and will be replaced by C.B. Cebulski, who previously served as Marvel's VP of international brand management. It's a chaotic time for Marvel right now, with big changes happening behind the scenes and the company trying to reinvigorate its comic book line with the Marvel Legacy relaunch. But I take this latest news as a positive sign for Marvel's future in 2018. The company needed a major editorial shake-up, and Cebulski may be just the person to right the ship.

How Nintendo Made the Lyrics for Mario Odyssey’s Theme
Nintendo Treehouse's Rob Tunstall has revealed a few interesting details about the process in localizing Super Mario Odyssey's catchy song Jump Up, Super Star.
As detailed in a post on the Nintendo Treehouse blog, Tunstall began work on localizing the song in January of this year, when the music portion of the song was "basically done" and NCL's Nobuyoshi Suzuki already had written Japanese lyrics for the first section.
The direct translation of those lyrics resulted in the following:
The symbol of a voyage, let’s start to raise the sails
Here’s Everything Leaving Netflix in December
As 2017 comes to a close, it's time for Netflix to make its final purge of the year. Expiring from the site in December are movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Young Frankenstein, and Nightcrawler along with the criminally under-watched and underrated Terriers, which only lasted one season on FX.
Also leaving the site is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yup, 11 (of the 12) seasons are taking a powder so get your fix of Paddy's Pub and The Gang while you still can.

Snipperclips Dev Discusses What’s New in DLC
The original Snipperclips was an early smash hit on the Switch's eShop. Its light-hearted, creative, and approachable gameplay paved the way in terms of digital exclusive titles on the newly-opened store.
In celebration of its brand new DLC and physical storefront release Snipperclips Plus, we sat down with brothers Tom and Adam Vian of SFB Games, creators of Snipperclips and Snipperclips Plus, to gain some insight into their creative process for this version and what plans the studio may have for the future.
Adam: When we finished Snipperclips, we had a few levels left over, quite a few. However, I would say almost all of the content that ended up in Snipperclips Plus ended up being developed from scratch this year. We actually came up with more new ideas than we thought we would. There’s a couple of levels, one I’m thinking of in particular that’s kind of a spiritual successor to levels in the main Snipperclips. But apart from that, we tried to think up brand new things from scratch.
