The Most Impactful Deaths in the Netflix MCU
Netflix's corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tends to be much darker and drearier than what we see in Marvel Studios' films. It's a world where death lurks around every corner. Whether hero or villain, it seems like every character in these shows is haunted by death in some way. Either that, or they eventually die themselves.
With that in mind, we thought it would be interesting to look at the most significant deaths in the Netflix MCU series. These aren't all necessarily major characters, but each of these deaths has had a profound impact on the heroes and storylines in these shows. Beware of spoilers for all of these shows!
Marvel's The Punisher is the most recent addition to Netflix's Marvel lineup. Check out our review of the first season and then learn more about the character who looks to be a major villain in Season 2.

Point-and-Click Seinfeld Adventure Game Looks Incredible
A Seinfeld adventure game has been in the works from Australian indie developer Jacob Janerka for sometime now, and visually, it's everything you could hope for in a LucasArts-style game.
For example, the pixel-art Jerry and George are absolutely spot-on. Other characters and locales from the show are faithfully recreated in gorgeous '90s style pixel artistry, including Kramer, Elaine, and Newman.

Zelda, Mario Devs Comment on Each Other’s Games
Nintendo had a great year, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey both earning an unbelievable amount of praise, including 10/10 review scores from IGN.
Following both games receiving honors at this year’s Game Awards, we spoke to Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi as well as Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and producer Eiji Aonuma about their favorite parts of each other’s games.
“I think for me, the parts where you're able to go from 3D into 2D and go into the wall and it becomes the old school style,” Fujibayashi told IGN about Mario. “I especially liked where it looks like there's nowhere to go, but then the walls curve around. It was super unique. It actually reminded me a bit of Zelda.”

The Last Jedi’s Massive Second Weekend Drop
Star Wars: The Last Jedi topped the North American box office in its second weekend with an estimated $68.5 million, but it also plummeted a steep 68.9% from its $220 million debut. Despite this nasty drop, The Last Jedi will finish the three-day weekend at $745.4 million worldwide and $365.1 million domestic after just ten days in release.
Now for the dark side of this news. The Last Jedi "lost more money between its first and second weekends than any film ever, by a lot," as Forbes put it. The film's $151 million drop is a greater gap than the $121 million between the first two weekends of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II.
