‘Squid Game’s Original Ending Would Have Totally Ruined This Fan-Favorite Character

#Superman is the DC movie I've been waiting for! @jamesgunn.bsky.social brought a comic book to life with so much joy, hope, & colour. David Corenswet is not just a Man of Steel, but a man of so much heart. Rachel Brosnahan & Corenswet have so much chemistry. Nicholas Hoult's Lex is scary. Love it!

After Carmy's journey comes to a satisfying end in #TheBear Season 4, I personally think it's time for Jeremy Allen White to step back & have the show focus more on Ayo Edebiri's Syd & Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Richie.

Hot Take, but Jeremy Allen White Shouldn’t Return as a Series Regular in ‘The Bear’ Season 5
Jeremy Allen White is a major part of The Bear, but Carmy's arc in the show is over, and it's time for the other actors to step into the spotlight.

Gary Cole's Alden Parker is getting so much love in #NCIS Season 22.

Since I was writing about this chilling mystery late at night, I had to turn on something bright and cheery so I wouldn't get scared.

My latest feature covers Leroy's monologue in #DaredevilBornAgain about how broken the system is and how it ties to Frank Castle's philosophy on justice.

'ASSASSIN'S CREED SHADOWS' may not reach franchise heights, but the playable duo makes the gameplay refreshing.

What a scene between Jon Bernthal and Charlie Cox in #DaredevilBornAgain episode 4.

I was expecting an explosive dynamic between them, and in a sense, it is. The emotions these actors give off in this scene are so powerful.

I was today years old when I learned that 'Psycho' star Anthony Perkins is the father of writer-director Osgood Perkins ('Longlegs' & 'The Monkey').

So cool that he continued with the horror route.
