Looking back, the mid-2010s were a golden age for streaming TV. Services like Netflix were still new and willing to take risks, which meant we got a lot of creative and unique shows. It was during this time that a comic book-based series first appeared on Netflix and quickly became one of its most popular and interesting offerings.
With artificial intelligence becoming more common and large companies gaining more influence, it’s no wonder cyberpunk is popular again. The best cyberpunk movies both look back at the past and warn us about the future, often exploring how quickly technology and society are changing. They’re also typically full of action, visually striking, and completely captivating. Here’s a list of 10 essential cyberpunk films.
Right from the start of this week’s episode of Industry, it’s obvious things are falling apart and the team is under immense pressure. Yasmin’s sharp rebuke to Henry – telling him he’s never had the right to speak to her that way, and still doesn’t – is already being hailed as one of the most memorable moments of the show.
Okay, so I just finished the first season of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,’ and wow! As a huge George R.R. Martin fan, I was really excited for this ‘Game of Thrones’ adaptation, and it totally delivered. Dunk and Egg are just fantastic – they’ve quickly become my new favorite characters. Seriously, everyone’s talking about them!
Anime features a huge number of incredibly strong characters, and swordsmen are among the most well-known. The seven listed here are all powerful enough to defeat every member of the Hashira.
The final scene includes one last look back at Dunk’s time with Ser Arlan. We see a tradition where young knights heading into battle would hammer a penny into the tree near their homes – this is how Pennytree got its name. This is also where Arlan dies, setting the stage for the beginning of the show. Most importantly, the scene reveals that Duncan the Tall was never officially knighted, a secret long suspected by fans of the books.
The story’s ending focuses on the aftermath of Baelor Targaryen’s death and everyone getting ready to leave after the funeral. Dunk bids farewell to people like Lyonel Baratheon and Raymun Fossoway, politely refusing an invitation from Lyonel to join him at Storm’s End. However, he won’t be parting ways with Egg.
The first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms largely focuses on Ser Duncan the Tall and Maekar Targaryen as they grapple with their involvement in Baelor’s death. Similar to the season finales of early Game of Thrones seasons, this episode is more about resolving loose ends and hinting at future storylines than big, shocking moments, although it does include a couple of surprising reveals: Dunk wasn’t officially knighted by Ser Arlan of Pennytree, and Egg runs away with Dunk without his father knowing.
Okay, so Dunk was all confident that he and Egg could travel anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms, but Egg had to correct him – there are actually nine kingdoms! I was totally surprised, and Dunk definitely was too. Then, the opening credits flashed up with a new title: A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms. It was a funny moment, but honestly, I can’t imagine that name will last. It just doesn’t feel right, and it would be a marketing disaster! It really highlights why everyone still calls it the Seven Kingdoms – it’s the name people know and remember, and it’s stuck around for a reason.
