Since its inception in 1992, the Mortal Kombat series has gone on to become one of the top-selling fighting game franchises of all time, thanks in large part to the game’s use of over-the-top violence. While the visuals seen in the gameplay was shocking at the time of the game’s introduction, no aspect of the arcade classic drew more attention than their fantastic finishing moves. The Fatalities of Mortal Kombat were unlike anything seen before in a video game, and a major contributing factor to the introduction of the ESRB system now used to rate video games for appropriate audiences....

Sometimes, pieces of childhood follow you into adulthood, like a six-year-old who won’t quit poking you in the head no matter how many times you complain about it. Odd comparison? Probably. Anyway, you can love a TV show with all of your young heart, then step away once you decide you’ve outgrown it. Still, you think about it off and on, like a parasitic gem that won’t leave you be while you live your life post-show obsession....

In 2008, Sons of Anarchy rocked the FX channel for the first time. The biker-centric drama series had all the hard-hitting, tough-nosed grit of a crime series with a poignancy that counterbalanced all the gang on gang violence. Often compared to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Kurt Sutter’s high-octane series tracked Jax Teller’s transformation from a capable leader to the man he feared the most. More than three years removed from the show’s final episode, fans are still picking up small clues and details as they re-watch FX’s most viewed series....

Captain America is one of the most popular characters in the entire Marvel franchise. Created in 1941, he became the symbol of the American dream and stood for freedom, hope, and a sense of duty. He became an icon of American self-identity, influenced the public opinion, and ultimately helped to encourage the United States to enter World War II. Steve Rogers made his mark on history as one of the most significant characters in the world of pop culture....

Suicide Squad Batman appearing the movie makes perfect sense, given most of the villain’s come from his line of comic books. But Ben Affleck will actually make history as the first actor to play Batman for two different directors. The live action Harley Quinn is sporting a new costume. But according to star Margot Robbie, the costume department actually made versions of her famous jester suit, and the skirt and corset made famous in the Batman: Arkham series....

Titans Season One is officially over, and fans are already salivating for news about the second season. Especially when it comes to the new names on the Titans roster. The first season of the DC Universe streaming series brought so many classic Teen Titans to life, and the second season is guaranteed to bring us even more.

But to get you even more hyped, we put together this list of 5 Titans Guaranteed To Be Featured In Season 2 (And 5 We Hope To See)....

Over the last few years, Adam Devine has steadily made a name for himself as a reliable funnyman in Hollywood. He’s had starring roles in several big-budget comedy films and lent his voice to plenty of animated features and cartoons too. Devine is a man of many talents as not only is he an established actor with no problem landing increasingly bigger acting jobs, but he is a singer, writer, and producer as well....

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD season 6 may have a subtle connection to Spider-Man: Far From Home. Launched in 2013, Agents of SHIELD is Marvel Television’s flagship series, and it’s long had a reputation for being the official tie-in TV show. Over the last few years, Marvel Studios and Marvel Television have become a little more distant, and as a result Agents of SHIELD has shifted to thematic tie-ins rather than explicit ones....

Now that DC’s Aquaman has finally come into his own as a feature film star, it’s time to start taking the underwater warrior a little more seriously in the comics world. The very first thing that lifelong fans need to ask when it comes to superhero powerhouses is that immortal question: who could he they win against– and who couldn’t they beat? These kinds of disputes can put the best of friends at odds....

John Williams is arguably the best-known film music composer of the modern generation. Just like fellow composer Alfred Newman before him, he has been known for iconic film scores that embedded to the pop culture zeitgeist. If you look for a John Williams score, tons will pop up. Star Wars. Indiana Jones. Superman. Home Alone. Harry Potter. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial. Jaws. Schindler’s List. Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And many more....

The domestic box office total for the first half of 2018 has reached $6 billion for the first time, thanks to the crackling performance of some of this summer’s biggest hits. June certainly brought its share, with both Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom quickly becoming two of the year’s highest grossers. Ditto to Ocean’s 8, the female-led sequel/reboot of the Ocean’s 11 franchise. At this rate, the film — which stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway — is all but guaranteed a sequel....

From Hippogriffs to Hungarian Horntails, J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World is abundant with magical creatures and beings. Throughout this pantheon of monsters and beasts is a wide array of consciousness. One of the more sentient creatures are the small race of servants known as House-Elves. This class is bound to serve the Wizarding World for life in their homes and institutions. Everyone is a fan of Dobby, and the later films shone a bit more light on other Elves such as Kreacher....

Whether it’s superheroes from the same universe or comedies across different networks, the fans love to see crossovers happen. The idea of one’s favorite characters from different shows interacting with each other is too good to deny. But sadly, some crossovers will never happen. Some series were canceled too soon, never giving them the chance at a collaboration, while others didn’t air in the same era. But if TV fans had their way, some crossovers would get made....

Ever since The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm back in 2012, Star Wars has been firing on all cylinders. Between the constant flurry of new films is a slew of TV content, comics, novels, and video games to hold fans over. It can become hard to keep track of every new Star Wars project — fortunately, though, we’re here to help. We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of as many upcoming Star Wars projects as we could handle, and even some rumors that might surprise you....

The most recent collaboration between Netflix and Marvel, Jessica Jones, has gotten a lot of attention for just how different it is than a lot of other works in the superhero genre. Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg’s series offers up a uniquely complicated new female hero operating within a world with an extraordinary amount of depth. It also features an antagonist that many have deemed one of the very best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Kilgrave, a terrifying new villain who doesn’t necessarily view himself as a bad guy....

For a lot of science fiction fans, a big part of what makes the genre so great is the aliens. And because they’re limited only by the writers’ imagination, aliens run the gamut from cute and fluffy to terrifying and murderous. Even in a series like Star Wars, aliens can be cute and fluffy like the Ewoks or slimy and dangerous like the dianoga. They can be humanoids or giant blobs, enemies or allies, but they almost always add something interesting to the mix....

As the American Horror Story franchise gears up for its ninth season, mysteriously titled “1984,” it leaves in its horrific wake of tangled tales an eddy of plotholes and unresolved storylines. As taut a thriller as each season proves, there are always characters that are introduced only to be thrown away an episode or two later, or characters that are completely in the background the entire season and then make a sudden surge to the forefront of the drama for seemingly no purpose other than shock value....

Solo: A Star Wars Story has finally hit theaters. After a contentious production cycle and a highly publicized change in directors, the movie has made many die-hard Star Wars fans apprehensive. Could a story about young Han Solo deliver on the hype and magic of a typical Star Wars film? Well, the answer depends on who you ask. Thankfully though, the film does deliver on one thing: crowd-pleasing cameos. Solo does a great job of exploring the deep-cuts of Star Wars canon....

Since its inception in 2008 with the release of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown exponentially. From top-tier Avengers like Captain America and Black Widow, to more obscure properties like the Guardians of the Galaxy, each film released with the Marvel Studios logo has been a worldwide hit. And while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn’t fared as well as its film counterparts, Marvel’s three Netflix series have all been massive successes....
