There was essentially a large distinction in the God of War soft reboot when put in contrast to its original video game series. This included the introduction of Kratos’ kid, Atreus, and the Norse Mythology theme, which was a surprise to many but a welcome one.

With such drastic changes, one can guess how much of a challenge it would have posed while producing the game. It was also revealed via the creative lead of the game himself how members of the crew were conflicted with many of the ideas they were implementing, including the addition of Atreus.

If Chris Evans hated one thing about his role as Captain America, it was the time he spent making public appearances for the promotions. Evans shared that his anxiety made him a less-than-ideal candidate for such appearances. He mostly avoided appearing in shows where he had to perform in front of an audience, which meant he was one of the few MCU lead stars not to host an SNL episode.

Superhero movies are more popular than ever nowadays, despite plenty of high-end directors and actors mocking them and finding little artistic value in them. Honestly, most people are not looking for artistic value when choosing their next flick to watch, they are looking to be entertained.
Our next list reflects that perfectly. Fans gathered on Ranker, and more than 30 thousand fans voted for their favorite superhero movie of all time. The list has plenty of action, comedy, and exactly the movies you would expect. Let’s see which movie scored the most votes.
10. ‘Deadpool’ (2016)
The first ‘Deadpool’ movie gained massive attention for several reasons. First, it was a departure from typical superhero movies, featuring action, comedy, and irreverence. The film’s R-rating allowed for a more mature and unrestricted portrayal of the character being more in tune with what the adults wanted. Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool was widely praised...

PlayStation has massively grown its PC portfolio after committing to the platform in 2019, and while it did stumble along the way, like with the recent Helldivers 2 Psn debacle, the company has seen a great deal of success from its double-dip launches.
Back in 2022, PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst confirmed that they will release live-service games day and date on PC, which is sensible, and big singleplayer titles will be spaced out to at least two years between their PS5 and PC launches. However, a recent rumor suggests this may have changed.

Marvel Studios has been rumored to be currently looking to get Thor 5 off the ground. Hemsworth has talked about how the film needs to take a distinct and separate direction from what audiences experience in Ragnarok and Love and Thunder, the latter of which has turned fans off of the franchise.
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
As rumors and leaks around Thor 5 pick up more steam, a slew of directors have expressed interest in directing the film, with Chris Hemsworth’s latest collaborator also throwing his hat into the ring. George Miller directed the MCU alum in Furiosa: A Mad Max Story, and is keen on working with the actor again, including Thor 5.

Chris Hemsworth had his career-defining role in 2011 with the MCU film Thor. Since then, the actor has been in multiple Marvel films, playing the God of Thunder. While the actor has also appeared in films such as Extraction and Snow White and the Huntsman, he became a worldwide star and one of the highest-paid actors with the Thor and Avengers films.
However, the fourth solo film in the franchise, Thor: Love and Thunder was not as well-received as its predecessors. Despite being a commercial success, the film was criticized for its shoddy VFX and writing. Hemsworth has now come out and taken responsibility for the film’s disappointing response.

Chris Hemsworth is one of the biggest celebrities in the world and is best known for his performance as Thor in the MCU. While he has garnered widespread acclaim for his portrayal of the Norse God, the fourth Thor movie just didn’t live up to the previous films.

However, one below-expectation performance can not stop fans from showing their appreciation for Hemsworth’s role. This includes his fellow MCU colleague, the iconic Robert Downey Jr. who once had some words of compliments for the actor.

Chris Hemsworth doesn’t love “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
In a new Vanity Fair profile, the Australian actor criticized his performance in the 2022 Marvel movie, his fourth outing as the hammer-wielding superhero Thor. And he’d like to do another “Thor” movie to make up for it.
“Love and Thunder” was the followup to 2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” which is widely considered to be the best “Thor” movie and one of the best Marvel movies overall. Both films are directed by Taika Waititi, who brought his playful, improv-heavy style of comedy to the franchise. But while “Ragnarok” is beloved for its sense of humor, Hemsworth thinks “Love and Thunder” took it too far.
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself,” Hemsworth said. “I didn’t stick the landing.” In the profile, he comes off as hard on himself and perpetually anxious about his career,...

Unlike Iron Man and Captain America, who became instant favorites among fans of the MCU, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor initially struggled to land his footing among the MCU greats. While his first film was far from a failure, it was still considered one of the weaker entries in the initial phases. On top of that, the critical failure of The Dark World would finally push the MCU to make some notable changes to the character.
As a result, we got Taika Waititi for the threequel, which not only surpassed the previous two entries in quality, Ragnarok ended up cementing itself as one of the best pre-Infinity War films. Unfortunately, the character once again hit a new low following the failure of Thor: Love and Thunder, and Hemsworth still hasn’t forgiven himself for this debacle.

According to the origin of Marvel’s Thor, the All-Father Odin sends his son to Earth to learn humility. It sounds like Thor actor Chris Hemsworth has had to do the same thing.
Hemsworth’s Thor was riding high going into 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, following 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, which won over fans who dismissed his first two solo outings, as well as the strong emotional arc in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. But for many, Love and Thunder pushed the wacky sensibilities of writer/director Taika Waititi too far, resulting in a movie too glib to be funny. And Hemsworth agrees.
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself,” the Aussie actor recently admitted to Vanity Fair. “I didn’t stick the landing.”
It’s easy to see why Hemsworth leaned so far into Waititi’s style for Love and Thunder.

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a strange time for the franchise. The post-"Avengers: Endgame" era saw Kevin Feige and co. trying to shepherd the concept of the multiverse into our collective consciousness while simultaneously introducing a host of new heroes and somewhat reinventing the MCU for a new generation. Much of it worked well, with "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" holding things down on the cinematic front. Meanwhile, "WandaVision" and "Hawkeye" made a good case for the McU's streaming age being a good development — a case that was later ruined by the poorly-reviewed "Secret Invasion."
But for every good entry in Phase 4, there was a "Thor: Love and Thunder" or a "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" to undermine them. Thankfully, Phase 4 will always remain beloved for introducing us to one of the best arguments for the MCU expanding into the world of streaming television: "Loki.

God of War is one of the oldest and most successful PlayStation first-party franchises. Gamers everywhere are pretty much aware of how legendary this franchise is, even if they haven’t played one of these games. This franchise spans eight mainline installments that were released on major consoles and one very small game that was launched on mobile devices.
Besides releasing on various console generations, these games have gone through a number of directors. The franchise started with its creator, David Jaffe, then was taken over by Stig Asmussen, who worked on Gow 3. Finally, the franchise went to Cory Barlog, who gave it a soft reboot with God of War 2018. But David Jaffe is not very happy with the latest game, God of War: Ragnarok.

Movie lovers will know that Zack Snyder is a very divisive personality in the world of cinema, as you either love his movies or you hate them. With Snyder, there is no in-between; his vision is so specific that you will either like it completely and enjoy his movies or think it completely ridiculous and consider his movies a failure. There are many examples of that, including his to-date controversial adaptation of Watchmen, his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the currently talked-about Rebel Moon series.
But, while the Rebel Moon series has been panned by critics as Snyder’s worst work, it seems that the filmmaker’s collaboration with Netflix is still strong, as it has recently been confirmed that Snyder’s other project with the streaming service will premiere this year!

From the very first game on PlayStation 2 back in 2005 to God of War: Ragnarok, these games have been pretty excellent. In fact, no matter how they change over time, the developers have made sure these games remain as fun to play as the fans want them to be.
There’s no doubt about the fact that these games have indeed changed; from a distant third-person camera to over-the-shoulder, developers have brought about a major shift. But no matter how games change, fans like to be reminded of the old times in a good way. That’s what God of War: Ragnarok did.

Tons of Batmans have shown off their geniuses and strength to audiences over the course of time, but not every single one of them managed to leave their mark on the viewers’ minds. While some of the projects’ failure was understandable, some others were truly done injustice to — like the one film from the DC Animated Universe that Mark Hamill will always hold close to his heart.

This one film is none other than the animated masterpiece cum box office disaster from 1993, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. And even though Hamill has lent his voice to multiple other blockbuster masterworks featuring the Joker including Batman: The Animated Series, this one particular box office bomb still continues to rule his heart for reasons all too valid.

It has often been seen in today’s world that quippy humor and overused jokes are used to grab onto audiences about to leave the theater screens. With many movies relying on dad jokes and puns to bring a sense of comedy into the chaos, a balance between seriousness and comedy is a serious issue (sorry).
Well, the Dcau, or DC Animated Universe strived hard to find the perfect balance between a world full of comedy and seriousness. Talking about their recently released Dcau magnum opus, the team behind the film talked about how they managed to find that perfect center point between comedy and seriousness and how they nailed it!

There is something odd about the DC Animated Universe that has captivated casual and hardcore fans since the shows in the universe began airing. This particular dissonance within the universe is something that is never explained inside or outside the narrative, but sets up a Battleworld-level landscape for the stories about our beloved heroes.
Justice League Unlimited was the concluding series in the Dcau
A theory on the internet attempts to rationalize this narrative dissonance, given that the characters existed in a world that simultaneously had outdated technology coexisting with future tech. This ‘fractured timeline’ theory finds its basis in the episode where the Justice League had to fight Vandal Savage.
Vandal Savage’s technology ‘fractured’ the timeline Vandal Savage in Justice League: Doom
In one of the episodes of the show, Vandal Savage goes back in time to give himself the technology that would help him overthrow Adolf Hitler.

Over the years there have been numerous series following the Gotham vigilante, Batman. However, not all have attained the caliber of Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series. Running from 1993 to 1995, the show is hailed as one of the finest interpretations of the DC superhero, revered not only within animation but also among live-action adaptations.
Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series
Fans are now eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Dark Knight’s journey, with its creative team including the esteemed animation producer. Timm has also expressed uncertainty about delving into further animated ventures centered around the character.

In an interview with DC Animated, the renowned animation producer Bruce Timm shared his thoughts on the prospect of creating 13 more episodes for Batman. While reflecting on the success of the previous shows, he admitted being uncertain about his approach toward more Batman content.

Bruce Timm, the mastermind behind a lot of projects from the DC Animated Universe, has a favorite of his own. Or to be more precise, he has a favorite episode of his own from the toon-verse. Now, considering how some of his best and most notable works are from Batman: The Animated Series, many would expect his favorite episode to be from this series as well.

However, that’s hardly the case. In fact, that one episode that touched Timm deeply isn’t from any of his work on the Batman saga. Instead, as it turns out, the episode that he considers to be the “Ragnarok” of “sob scenes” is actually from Superman: The Animated Series!

The first season of Solo Leveling has finally reached its conclusion and it has left the anime fans with many unanswered questions. Although these questions will be answered once the series moves on to the next phase of the story, they still have a lot of elements to explore that make the future of Solo Leveling even more interesting.
The Power Scaling of Solo Leveling Hunters
One such thing that makes the series interesting to watch is the power scaling between the hunters in the series. Hunters in Solo Leveling are ranked according to their magic power. A Hunter’s magical strength can be assessed with Mana Meters, which are devices made of magic crystals. There are six Hunter rankings in total.
The order of strength is S, A, B, C, D, and E, where S is the strongest and E is the weakest. However, there is one class of...

The most anticipated anime series of 2024, Solo Leveling has finally concluded its first season with the final episode “Arise”. The episode was one of the best ones of the series and featured a perfect ending for the series. It gives Sung Jinwoo, the protagonist of the series, a new power which will make him even stronger than he already is.
Solo Leveling
The power and title that Sung Jinwoo earns in the final episode is the monarch of Shadows. While the Solo Leveling anime fans might not know much about the power, the manhwa fans are truly aware of the real strength and ability of this title. It is going to be one of the most important elements of Solo Leveling in the future.
However, Sung Jinwoo is not the first user of the power. This power was first wielded by Ashborn, who was known as the King of the Dead.

From an online Korean novel to a webtoon to an anime, the Solo Leveling saga is gradually gaining an edge in every industry it debuts in. That being said, the immense success of the first season of the superhit anime has allowed it to open to further plans. And by further plans, we mean extending to a course of six whole seasons.
The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling manhwa is being greatly received by viewers.
According to recent reports, the initial plan for the anime from the Korean side is for the saga to tell its story through six whopping seasons. And if these plans are indeed true, then this just might inevitably result in the Korean phenomenon further adapting its spin-off Ragnarok storyline within its future seasons.

Since the release of Solo Leveling anime, the series by Chugong has taken the anime world by storm. The series was the most anticipated anime series of 2024 and it has certainly lived up to its name. With only ten episodes under its belt, Solo Leveling has reached a level that might prove to be a difficult task for others.

In the first few minutes of his first Zoom casting call with actor Alex Wolff, Oystein Karlsen knew he had found his Leonard Cohen.
“He came on the screen like this,” the Norwegian director and screenwriter puts his hand over his face, with one eye poking out. “He said: ‘Sorry, I’m so hung over. I know I’m not going to get the role. I feel horrible.’ I thought: That’s Leonard!”
Karlsen already had his eye on Wolff to play the famously melancholic Canadian singer-songwriter in his new TV miniseries about Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, his great love, muse and the woman who inspired the song that gives the series its title: So Long, Marianne.

PlayStation has earned a reputation for offering amazing game experiences that are usually not found anywhere else, at least for a while until some get ported to PC. With its gaming catalog, most of the titles that Sony’s console offers get the point across in a suitable amount of time without overstaying their welcome.
These days, RPGs take up hours upon hours of the players’ time, which might be appreciated by some since they’re getting value for their money, but for those gamers who don’t have too much time to spare, here are the greatest PlayStation titles that are relatively short but sweet.
The Five PlayStation Titles That Don’t Overstay Their Welcome Bloodborne
Bloodborne is considered to be one of the greatest PlayStation exclusives of all time.
Elden Ring may be FromSoftware’s magnum opus, but Bloodborne is the developer’s relatively hidden gem that still holds up today.

Kratos worshippers on PC may be in for a treat next year. According to popular leaker Silknigth, God of War: Ragnarok PC port could release in the first quarter of 2025.
Silknigth has a decent track record of leaking crucial details especially about PlayStation exclusives. The X user recently predicted Ghost of Tsushima’s PC release, which was shortly followed by an official announcement of the same.
When asked about Gow Ragnarok on X, Silknigth replied,
“Perhaps a PC version, but not until the first quarter of 2025, if it arrives earlier, it’s a gift, but I doubt it.”

Marshall D. Teach is unique in that no other individual in the universe of One Piece can keep two Devil Fruits at once. However, a new standard theory goes further and proposes a possibility that the third fruit powers Blackbeard—a Mythical Zoan. Thus, the Viking Viking fruit offers him his sea monster prowess. This would deepen the world of One Piece and firmly entrench Blackbeard in the context of Norse mythology with the earlier-mentioned maritime lore.
The Mythical Zoan Type: A Gateway to Legendary Beasts Blackbeard – Marshall D. Teach
The other is scarce and influential, said to allow the user to transform into a mythical creature with fearsome abilities. More than anything else, the thematic wealth brought forth through One Piece can hardly be ignored because Blackbeard would own the third Devil Fruit in this category.

When you think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you might not think of improvisation as being central to its success. In fact, extemporaneous additions seem like the complete opposite of Kevin Feige's approach to establishing his gargantuan blockbuster franchise. The Marvel Studios head and his cohorts meticulously plan out each so-called "phase" of the MCU, carefully charting a course for their cinematic saga ahead of time.
Recently, however, this approach hasn't worked so well, with Feige and co. bombarding us with Marvel media, ultimately proving that too much of the MCU is essentially the franchise's Kryptonite. But for a long time, the plan was very much working. The Marvel machine was churning out hit after hit, with "Avengers: Endgame" and its record-breaking box office marking the apex of Marvel Studios' success. In that sense, deviating from the plan just doesn't seem to fit with the MCU ethos. But improvisation...

Sony’s video game journey began in 1993 through the amalgamation with Sony Music Entertainment Japan, giving birth to the first PlayStation. Since then, it has become the gold standard in the console business, and eventually in the gaming industry. From Tekken to Uncharted the company has achieved great feats not just in terms of quality but revenue too.
Recently, it conducted a vote to see what’s the fan-favorite game independent of the critics. Turns out, fans’ choice is different from the critics. Until now, the internet believed it was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves that made waves in the video games sector, but the finalists according to the latest votes have cleared the game’s name.

Several powerful characters that have the power to instantaneously destroy an entire planet can be found in Solo Leveling throughout the series. These characters have shown their strengths multiple times and it sometimes becomes truly terrifying.

The series’ protagonist, Sung Jinwoo also gradually gains strength and power as he comes against stronger and more formidable individuals who push the envelope and aid in his ascent to the top. However, he still is not able to become the strongest hunter in the series as the title is grabbed by his son Sung Suho later in the series.

Actor Mark Ruffalo has been in the MCU since 2012’s The Avengers. Playing Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a Hulk, the actor took over from actor Edward Norton after the latter had issues with Marvel during the film The Incredible Hulk. Though Ruffalo has not received a standalone Hulk film yet, the actor has been an irreplaceable part of the Avengers.
While Mark Ruffalo has been extremely loyal to the fanbase and the franchise, he recently came under fire for seemingly criticizing Marvel’s new approach to content production. In an interview with GQ, he seemed to have ruffled a few feathers by saying that the pre-Disney Plus MCU had more ‘mystique’ around it and could probably never return to the way it was.

Sony recently unleashed its Planet of the Discounts campaign on the online Ps Store, and along with Ragnarok, whose price has been chopped to under $40, there are some spectacular deals that cover many video game essentials.
This is the cheapest that Santa Monica’s title has ever been, so this feels like the perfect time to dive into the epic Nordic world.

When Avengers: Endgame hit the theatres, many fans knew that they had seen the best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Who could better the hype generated by a band of heroes that united to protect fifty percent of the universe? And they were truly. Since then, the MCU has lost its way here and there, with the new characters failing to generate the hype. Yet, there still remain a few characters who are a part of the old guard, Thor being one such character. And it seems like even his time is up.
Chris Hemsworth has been a part of the MCU for a long time Chris Hemsworth is all set to leave the MCU
Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is one of the characters who has been associated with the MCU since phase one of the franchise. Having wielded the hammer for many movies, he is one of the more loved characters of the franchise.

Of all the original superheroes in that first "Avengers" movie, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has had perhaps the strangest journey. Whereas the first "Iron Man" movie was a massive success and "Captain America" was well-received, the first "Thor" was merely passable. It felt a bit too much like a generic superhero movie; they managed to mine some humor out of Thor's culture shock of going to Earth, but otherwise, it seemed to take itself a bit too seriously for such an unserious premise. Although nowadays we complain that the MCU doesn't take itself seriously enough, this movie's straightforward approach just came off as bland and disappointing.
Maybe the biggest issue was that Thor was overpowered. Whereas Tony Stark began with a rusty suit and Steve Rogers always had to fight his enemies through risky hand-to-hand combat, Thor is a literal god who could kill any puny human whenever he wants. That...

Cate gave us one of the most fierce and ruthless villains in the MCU franchise! From her solid performances to how her character returns to seek revenge, everything about the actress’ presence in the film makes it worth watching.
There are many reasons why Ragnarok receives appreciation and love from Marvel fans. The music, the cinematography, the character developments, and the villain, everything is incredible.

What exactly are Thor's powers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? His actual threshold of strength and durability is tested several times throughout the MCU, but they fluctuate wildly. In one film, Thor (Christ Hemsworth) has trouble besting Captain America (Chris Evans) in hand-to-hand combat, but in another, he can seemingly withstand the heat of a solar flare. In one film, his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) states explicitly that they aren't gods, but in "Thor: Love and Thunder," Thor travels to Mount Olympus to converse with other deities, proving that he is indeed a god.
Perhaps Thor's powers need to fluctuate and remain unclear for dramatic reasons. If you have a literal god on your superhero team, why do you need other members at all? One might think that Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, would be able to slam his hammer into the face of any alien attacker and...

Marvel's "What If..." has employed a mix of reprisals and recasts from the movies. Captain Peggy Carter may have the super soldier serum, and Strange Supreme went down a darker path, but they're still played by Hayley Atwell and Benedict Cumberbatch like the originals. Tragically, T'Challa-as-Star-Lord also went down as Chadwick Boseman's final performance.
On the other hand: Mick Wingert fills in for Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Lake Bell plays Black Widow instead of Scarlett Johansson, and season 1 big bad Infinity Ultron was voiced by Ross Marquand, not James Spader.
"What If..." season 2 brings in two characters not seen in season 1, Hela (the villain of "Thor: Ragnarok") and Wenwu (the villain of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"), and pairs them up in episode 7: "What If...
