Bringing characters back from the dead has often been a point of contention in Star Wars, as seen with Palpatine’s return. However, fans generally welcomed Maul’s reappearance due to his popularity. The Clone Wars series even gave him a complex and interesting story, especially considering he was once Palpatine’s apprentice. Now, the Maul – Shadow Lord series is exploring that relationship even further, focusing on how Palpatine abandoned him. This will likely be captivating, but it also brings up important questions, including the meaning behind Maul’s name.

Everyone remembers Malcolm in the Middle, the hilarious and energetic sitcom that defined the 2000s. It stood out by showing a realistic, and sometimes tough, side of everyday American family life. Now, it’s back! Hulu recently premiered Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair on April 10th. Created by the original showrunner, Linwood Boomer, the revival brings back Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, now grown up. He’s pulled back into the craziness of his family when his parents, Hal and Lois, insist he attend their 40th wedding anniversary party after years of not speaking. You can watch all four episodes now, as Hulu released them all at once.

The animated series Tuca & Bertie, about two bird friends in a world with human-like qualities, originally premiered on Netflix in 2019. After one season, Netflix cancelled the show, but it was rescued by Adult Swim, which ordered two more seasons. Unfortunately, Cartoon Network cancelled it again in 2022. While no new episodes are being made, Tuca & Bertie will be back on the schedule starting Monday, April 13th. It will replace Ha Ha, You Clowns at 1 AM Eastern and air Mondays through Thursdays for the time being.

Marvel has introduced many female superheroes over the years. While some have been popular briefly and then forgotten, and others haven’t received the recognition they deserve, a few have even fallen from iconic status. These seven amazing Marvel women are particularly underrated and have the potential to become major stars.

I’m particularly drawn to downloadable content (DLC) that’s as substantial as a full game – the kind that takes ten to twenty hours to finish. It’s interesting to consider how much effort and money developers invest in these large expansions, especially since there’s no guarantee of a big profit. They’re essentially betting that the original game is successful enough to justify the cost and risk. Fortunately, this gamble often pays off, as these expansive DLCs are frequently praised for their generous content. And if you’re looking for games with DLC like this, I’ve put together a great list that will keep you busy for months, if not the entire year.

Zack Snyder isn’t the only big-budget director whose films get mixed reviews. John Boorman, known for classics like Deliverance (1972) and Point Blank (1967), also made some truly terrible movies, including Exorcist II: The Heretic and Zardoz. However, Boorman’s 1981 film Excalibur had a huge impact on Snyder, who named it one of his all-time favorites in 2009. And looking at Excalibur and how people reacted to it, it’s easy to see why.

Some PlayStation Plus subscribers are upset with the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered bundle because it doesn’t have a Platinum trophy on PS5. This is due to a PlayStation policy change when moving from PS4 to PS5, which treats game collections as having only one trophy list. On PS4, however, each of the three Tomb Raider games in the bundle has its own separate trophy list, and each one includes a Platinum trophy.

Level-5 is creating a new game called Holy Horror Mansion, which is heavily inspired by and continues the style of their popular, spooky RPG games from the past.

During a recent episode of the podcast The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider, a well-connected industry source, revealed that Marvel is considering Peter Claffey for the role of Beast and Odessa A’Zion for Rogue. It’s important to remember that these are just names Sneider has heard as potential candidates – nothing is official yet. This news quickly generated a lot of discussion online, with some fans thrilled by the possibilities and others believing Claffey might be better suited for a different Marvel character. Here’s a look at some of the reactions.
