ABC Boss on Marvel’s Inhumans Medusa Wig Backlash
ABC has two key shows on its fall 2017-18 TV season slate: Marvel's Inhumans and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. The former is an eight-episode partnership with IMAX that will debut first on the big big screen, while SHIELD will be returning with Season 5 after Inhumans completes its run. At the 2017 summer TV Critics' Association press tour, ABC President Channing Dungey spoke about the future of Marvel at ABC.
When asked about the initial backlash to the quality of Marvel's Inhumans in the first look photo and trailer, Dungey said, "A lot of the first stuff was a reaction to Medusa's wig. Fans, as you know, feel very passionately and very strongly about that. We released some new footage at Comic-Con that I think has reversed some of that conversation. This is still a work in progress. We're really down to the wire on some of the special effects."

How the Snowpiercer TV Series Differs From the Film
While Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer film brought to life the world of the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, the upcoming TNT Snowpiercer series will explore the themes and mechanics of the world in much more detail, according to star Daveed Diggs.
The Hamilton star — a self-professed sci-fi fan who is currently catching up on Nora K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth series — said the chance to really dive into the world the film introduced on screen will help differentiate it from Joon-ho's work.

Details on Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon’s Dusk Form Lycanroc
Update: New details on Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's new Lycanroc form have been revealed.
According to a post on the official Pokemon website, Dusk Form Lycanroc is similar to the Midday Form in that both stand on four legs and have an obedient demeanor. However, it also has a few things in common with the Midnight Form, including a matching mane on its head, as well as eyes that turn red when attacking.
While Dusk Form Lycanroc generally has a calm demeanor, it thrives in close quarters combat and can use Counter, a move learned by Midnight Form Lycanroc when it evolves from Rockruff. However, like its Midday Form, this new form can also learn Accelerock. Additionally, Dusk Form Lycanroc has the Tough Claws ability, which boosts the power of direct contact moves.
