The world of Supernatural is full of near constant apocalypses, angels, monsters, and more. With Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) attempting to dam the onslaught, things almost always work out in the end. The bad guys are killed and the world is safe for a grand total of five minutes until the next disaster strikes. Sometimes, however, how the problem is solved doesn’t make a lot of sense even in the fantastical world of the show....

Filmmaking in Hollywood can be a tricky business. Some projects take time to get off the ground, and difficulties can arise anywhere from getting money for the budget, writing a script that all of the producers, directors, and actors can agree on, and countless production issues that can put a wrench in any project. Sometimes the people behind the movie can work through them and move forward with the project, but others it doesn’t work out, leaving the project unfinished....

There are certain things that each show has done better, though, so let’s take a look. Here are 5 things that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel does better than Gilmore Girls and 5 things that GG is beloved for. Maisel: Witty One-Liners It’s hard to deny that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has some absolutely witty one-liners. It seems like in every scene, characters are saying something hilarious that couldn’t be more clever....

Celebrity cameos are a tricky business. Sure, they can provide an initial surprise for the audience, but if a television series isn’t careful, they can end up feeling as awkward and forced as Fonzie jumping over a shark or Indiana Jones flying through the air in a fridge. Plus, few things date a project quicker than a forced cameo, particularly when it’s clear that said project is wearing thin on content, and attempting to hide it by throwing celebrities on the screen and making it the basis of entire subplots....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could be setting up the Framework as a returning enemy for season 7. When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. launched in 2013, it was essentially the MCU’s official tie-in TV series. Over the years, though, the show has developed a mythology all of its own, one that incorporates everything from Inhumans to time travel, from alien Confederacies to an all-new Ghost Rider. One of the most fascinating ideas was the Framework, a virtual reality created by Professor Radcliffe in Agents of S....

One of the best things about any San Diego Comic Con event has to be seeing the large majority of a major fandom uniting to showcase their love and passion for that same fandom. SDCC 2019 was no different, as fans around the world came together to showcase through cosplay their love for DC Comics. Whether you love the films, the shows, or the comics themselves, DC Comics is a major factor of any Comic Con, let alone SDCC 2019....

In recent years, filmmakers have gotten a lot better at making kids’ movies appeal to adults – usually by filling it with jokes and references that the average kid won’t even understand. There are almost too many to choose from, but these are just a few of our favorite adult jokes that younger audiences never caught. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Hidden Adult Jokes in Children’s Movies. The Road to El Dorado In this Dreamworks adventure, two quasi-criminals quest to find a mystical “city of gold,” but it wouldn’t be much of a movie if things went smoothly for the heroes Tulio and Miguel....

Supernatural will hit 300 episodes this year. Going into its 14th season, Supernatural still has one of the most dedicated fanbases in television. As a result, this impressive feat does not come as a huge shock. While the show firmly remains Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester’s, a rotating cast of characters populates this rich tapestry of a universe. It’s hard to get a complete count of how many characters, but with almost a decade and a half on the air, it’s definitely a lot....

“Please let me rest now.” This is what Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the Naruto manga series, said when he was asked to continue making more Naruto/Boruto movies. It’s not hard to see why he would want to rest, considering that he worked on a weekly series for fifteen years straight, while working almost every single hour of every day of the week. Only the most dedicated and talented artists and writers have what it takes to make it in the weekly manga industry....

Combining sci-fi, fantasy, action, romance, westerns, and just about every other storytelling genre there is, comic books aren’t known for their rules. Physics, order, and continuity are all merely suggestions as writers and artists spin incredible tales about superhuman feats. There are a few unwritten rules, however, on which most publishers tend to agree. The most well-known, and one that’s likely to play out in films given the way Batman v Superman ended, is that no popular (or sometimes even obscure) character can stay dead for long....

Superhero movies have been all the rage for a number of years now, with 6 or 7 being released every year and totally dominating the box office as well as popular culture. While a number of things have had a hand in helping bring this genre to the forefront of American cinema, casting the right actor for the part has always played the biggest role in bringing these comic book characters to life....

In all of Marvel Comics’ history, there have been thousands of characters—some quite forgettable, while others have made their mark on comic boook history. One of the most interesting of them all has got to be the original Norse God of Mischief, Loki Laufeyson. If you have never read a single comic book in your life, odds are you know who Loki is thanks to the amazing performance by Tom Hiddleston as the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Fall 2018 is packed with exciting films that vary from Disney sequels to Marvel or DC superhero tentpoles and, of course, more potential Oscar contenders than you can shake a stick at. In keeping with Screen Rant tradition, this year’s Fall movie preview will cover the months of September through to December. On the whole, Summer 2018 was a noticeable improvement over last year’s frame, with respect to both the quality of films released between May and August (read: summertime in Hollywood) and box office....

When it comes to the Spider-Man movies, there have been extreme ups and downs over the many years of rebooting the franchise. Starting as a Marvel comic, and quickly growing into a pop culture empire, the Spider-Man movies aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Back in 2002 we got our first live-action cinematic look at Spider-Man via Tobey Maguire directed by Sam Raimi. Now, 16 years later, the movies are still going strong....

After impressing many with the civil rights drama Selma and acclaimed documentary 13th, director Ava DuVernay is going to try her hand at big-budget genre filmmaking. She is calling the shots on Disney’s adaptation of the popular science fantasy novel A Wrinkle In Time, which recently began production. Over the past couple of months, the movie has acquired a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Zach Galifiankis (among others)....

It takes years of planning to make a typical Hollywood film – and this can even stretch to decades, particularly where big budget blockbusters are concerned. As you’d expect, an incredible amount of decision-making is involved along the way, all to ensure that the best possible story ultimately finds its way into cinemas. Amazingly, though, it’s often the last-minute changes made by filmmakers that determine whether a movie is a massive success or a bitter disappointment....
