Wolverine has always been one of the most mysterious of the X-Men, so it should come as no surprise that there are a lot of mysterious facts about the character’s costume. It’s evolved over the years, sometimes existing as a simple t-shirt and pants while at other times appearing to contrast with every other outfit on the team, making him stand out in a way that clearly doesn’t match his stealth capabilities....
With all its crazy twists and turns, there were still many unexpected moments that could’ve happened over The Vampire Diaries’ eight seasons that wound up getting cut before they ever made it to the screen. Many plotlines could have turned out extremely differently had it not been for significant tweaks or huge changes of direction along the way. Some characters would have very altered futures if some of these wild plotlines made it past the writing stage....
Star Wars has made an undeniable impression on popular culture. Even the most casual of fans can recognize popular phrases and references like “may the Force be with you.” Star Wars has also provided some absolutely epic duels for audiences and fans, mostly involving those defenders of the Force known as the Jedi. Taking into account both films and television, but limiting to only that which is now considered official Star Wars canon, we’ve compiled our list of the best duels we’ve seen yet....
When Jack Kirby and Stan Lee first created The X-Men in 1963, they originally had no grand scheme for crafting the mutants of the Marvel Universe into the perfect parable for addressing real-world prejudices - they just wanted a group of superheroes whose powers required no lengthy explanation involving radioactive spiders or cosmic rays! Regardless of their creators’ intentions, time and circumstance developed the X-Men into a proxy for every oppressed minority group in the world....
Out of all the superhero rivalries, none are more intense or more comedic than the one between Hulk and Thor. As the Avengers two strongest members, Thor and Hulk have occasionally come to blows every now and then for a variety of reasons. Sometimes their fights are on such a massive scale they cause wide scale destruction in their wake. Other times, they fight over the smallest things such as who is the strongest Avenger or even for absolutely no reason at all....
Video games are more popular now than ever before, but while gamers love to launch into their favorite title, things do not always go as expected. Since video games are so complicated and complex to create, there are often glitches or errors that can pop up within them. Sometimes they are so bad that it sours gamers from that title for life, while other times the glitches are so funny and entertaining that the video game company leaves them in as something that eagle-eyed fans can discover when they do something right....
The best YA movies and TV shows appeal to audiences of all ages, because their themes are universal. We all may gladly leave our terrible teen experiences in our rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean that we weren’t irrevocably shaped by them anyway. High school is awkward, needlessly cruel, and incredibly uncomfortable. Most feel lucky to survive the ordeal at all. Although few franchises have or ever will soar to the heights of Harry Potter, the YA craze in film and television doesn’t appear to be going anywhere....
Hulk is one of the most beloved characters in Marvel’s entire history. He was one of the first creations of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, he’s appeared in almost every animated series, he’s starred in his own incredibly successful TV show, and he’s had two theatrical movies before smashing his way into the MCU. He is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel pantheon. Because of this, people assume a lot of things about him and those things are not always correct....

Aladdin becomes the latest movie to gross $1 billion at the worldwide box office. A remake of the beloved 1992 animated classic, there was a point in time when many felt Aladdin was destined to be a rare misstep for the Mouse House, commercially speaking. Early marketing materials did little to inspire confidence, drawing ridicule for Will Smith’s Genie look and painting the film as a stale rehash of its iconic predecessor....
The Inhumans, once a hidden race of superpowered beings who were technologically advanced even when humanity was in the stone age, are now a global power house in the Marvel universe. Their existence is not only widely known, but now new Inhumans are popping up all over the globe thanks to the events of “Infinity.” Their future in the Marvel comics universe could shape the history of all that is to come....
Few things are more important to a television series than its leading character. A show’s lead provides a foothold for the audience to become involved in the storyline and grows attached to as the show progresses. If a series is written correctly, its lead character can commit some of the worst sins and still have the support of loyal and involved fans. However, sometimes, something interesting happens. A show can be dramatic, investing, and completely amazing, but still have one problem: its main character, of all things....

We’re always excited to hear that our favorite characters from comic books are going to get adapted to the big screen. It’s intriguing to speculate how a character will translate to live action, or what storylines and villains would work best to draw in the biggest audience. Another inevitable aspect is finding out what parts of the comics are just too over the top to work on screen and need to be changed....
Remember how we used to zip around in our flying cars way back in the 1980? That was just around the time we landed a man on Mars. But then in the early 1990s our super-intelligent ape slaves rebelled against us. No wonder that by 2009, New York became a dystopian hell hole! Sci-fi stories often strive to imagine the future. They’re frequently wrong, but that doesn’t make them worthless. Even failed prophecies can be fun to watch....
Movie productions usually have to overcome a lot of hurdles, but the show must go on. When the star of the show turns out to be pregnant, the process is no different. The production team has to find some way to roll with it. Often, the pregnancy cannot be worked into the story without changing it significantly, so the only thing left to do is hide the star’s baby bump from the camera....
When it comes to creating television for the teen demographic, one network has risen above all others in the last decade: The CW. Its programming, which ranges from horror to soap operas to superhero shows, has a wide range of extremely dedicated fans, built from solid writing, timely social dynamics, and very attractive actors. The CW claims a long list of successes, but it isn’t perfect. There are quite a few characters that the shows on the network would very much like everyone to forget....
Throughout the filmmaking process, there are a number of stages where a scene can get cut. Sometimes, it doesn’t make it past a scrawled index card on a cork board. Other times, it makes it into the final draft of the script, past the table read, and actually ends up getting shot before being left behind on the cutting room floor during the edit. Given how carefully put together the MCU movies are, with fans analyzing every single frame in search of Easter eggs and canonical inconsistencies, deciding which scenes do or do not end up in the movie is important....
