‘Baby Reindeer’ Leaps Onto Netflix’s Most Popular Series List; ‘Under Paris’ Takes Streamer By Storm
It’s official — Baby Reindeer is one of Netflix’s most popular series of all time.
The thriller series has crept its way to No. 10 on the streamer’s all-time English-language TV series list after clocking 84.5 million views since its release April 11, bumping The Witcher Season 1 off the list.
And, there’s still time for it to keep moving on up. Baby Reindeer still has 30 days in its premiere window, which gives it an opening to secure an even higher spot, potentially rivaling Bridgerton Season 2 or Stranger Things 3. The most impressive aspect of Baby Reindeer‘s certified hit status is that it isn’t attached to any IP, like many of the series it sits among on the most popular list, and it relied on word-of-mouth for its growth trajectory.

Japanese animator and director Kenji Kamiyama made his Annecy debut in the company of Andy Serkis on Tuesday with a 20-minute preview of upcoming anime feature The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
The extract was greeted with an enthusiastic response by the animation crowd jammed into the French festival’s 1000-set Grand Bonlieu auditorium.
Serkis, whose career will forever be entwined with Jrr Tolkien’s fantasy classic through his Gollum role in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, is not directly involved in the anime feature but traveled to Annecy to introduce the footage and moderate a panel after the screening.
“You are the first people to see this,” said Serkis.

In addition to having a full film schedule, Marvel seems to have decided to give animation top priority in 2024. For example, created by Beau DeMayo, the beloved 90s program X-Men: The Animated Series made a comeback on Disney+ as X-Men ‘97. Along with Wolverine, Storm, Beast, and Rogue, the mute shapeshifter Morph also plays a substantial part in the show’s plot.
The Season 1 finale has prompted a number of questions in the wake of the show’s epic conclusion. One of the most burning questions, regarding a potential romantic interest between Morph and Wolverine, was recently addressed by the writer & former showrunner of the series. Taking to X, Beau DeMayo has set the record straight on Wolverine and Morph’s relationship in a way that’s bound to ruffle the feathers of plastic fans who resist change.

It seems the daredevil actions on display in Ryan Gosling’s recent flick, The Fall Guy, are not just ratcheting up audiences but also spotlighting a long-overdue ovation for daring stunt performers. For decades, the unsung heroes behind those heart-stopping action sequences have been hovering just out of the Academy Award’s limelight.
Yet, recent reports suggest a seismic shift, with industry titans such as Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise possibly flashing their charismatic smiles in a future Oscars Stunt category. According to Empire’s in-depth conversations with the Academy’s visionaries, who are tirelessly refining and modernizing the institution to mirror the changing facets of filmmaking, the tides appear to be turning.

Although the recent Disney+ show served as a revival of an animated series that aired 25 years ago, the decision was made to keep the action rooted firmly in the original era. But with season 2 already confirmed and reports that Marvel Studios fully intends to keep the show going for as long as possible, could the mutant heroes make the jump into the noughties?
During an interview with Discussing Film, supervising director Jake Castorena was asked if they intend to hold on to the '90s aesthetic, and if he anticipates the show taking influence from later comic book runs for the second season.
"We touched on that, even in season one with E is for Extinction, which was definitely not of the ’90s run per se but in the zeitgeist of the era that came a little later," he replied. "Once so much time passes, that’s pretty much...

The upcoming multiplayer game, Marvel Rivals, is generating a lot of excitement thanks to its wide roster of beloved Marvel characters. Fans are excited to get their hands on the game as soon as possible.
A concept for the character The Spot was shared on the game’s subreddit as a joke, and the character actually being included in the game would lead to some really fun chaos.
The Spot’s Potential for Chaos in Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals will feature a massive roster of heroes and villains.
The Spot is a quirky villain who can create portals using the black spots on his body, making for some pretty wild and unpredictable moves. He’s not your typical villain, and his power to create several portals can turn any battle in the game into a chaotic mess.

This X-Men article contains major spoilers for the Krakoa era comics.
Evolution. Mutation. Change.
These concepts have always been at the heart of the X-Men story. Even the fairly straightforward Silver Age adventures by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made in the 1960s positioned mutants as the next stage in human evolution. Yet, rarely has the franchise made a leap as pronounced as it did in 2019, when writer Jonathan Hickman came on board to radically alter all of Marvel’s mutants with the game-changing House of X/Powers of X event books.
Five years later, with the release of X-Men #35, which is also the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men as a whole, the Krakoa era has come to an end. The next era of X-Men books, From the Ashes, kicks off this summer and will see Marvel’s Merry Mutants returning to a world that hates and fears them. While...

You don't need all your fingers to count the Marvel Comics stories more influential than "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
In the dark future of 2013, America has been conquered by the mutant-hunting Sentinel robots. Most of the X-Men are gone, mutants live in concentration camps, and the world stands on its nuclear brink as the other nations prepare to strike against the Sentinels. To prevent this apocalypse, X-Woman Kate Pryde travels back in time.
You see, things went to Hell on Halloween 1980. Mystique and her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants assassinated anti-mutant Senator Robert Kelly, intent on showing humanity they will supplant them as the Cro-Magnon did the Neanderthal. Instead, this event inflamed anti-mutant sentiment and led to the Sentinel takeover. If Kelly isn't assassinated, maybe this awful future will never happen.
"Days of Future Past" was Byrne's penultimate story on his original "X-Men" and he goes with a banger.

Halle Berry had to sport Storm’s iconic hair when she was cast as the character for the X-Men franchise. But initially, wearing the Marvel character’s hairdo was one of the least appealing aspects of playing her.

Berry has normally been someone who’s willing to lose some of her glamour for a movie role. She credited the film Jungle Fever for helping her show off her acting instead of her looks by playing a haggard drug addict.
“I am really comfortable with myself and the way I look,” Berry once told Review Graveyard. “I started my career playing a crack addict in Jungle Fever and got the beauty thing off the table and I love that. I love roles that allow me to do that and I know that as I get older,...

Her peak acting moment came with 2001’s Monster’s Ball, directed by Marc Forster and her incredible performance led to an Oscar win for Best Actress. The complex human drama required the actress to channel her real emotions and be completely vulnerable in front of the camera. Berry was so committed to the tragic nature of the character that she did not recognize herself when she watched the film.

Henry Cavill’s Superman might have had a very short tenure, and with the Dceu closing out, it seems highly unlikely that we will see the character again. However, audiences, creators, and some critics alike enjoyed the fresh, more personal take that Zack Snyder had when it came to Superman, as opposed to the Big Blue Boy Scout image the character had boasted.

Exclusive: The life story of video gaming’s original rock star is coming to the screen. John Romero is known as the godfather of first-person shooter and for his pioneering work on titles including Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Quake. The book telling his life story is now being worked up as both a doc and a scripted series.
Romero’s autobiography Doom Guy: Life in First Person was published last year to critical acclaim. It will be the basis for a documentary from Rob McCallum, the Canadian filmmaker who recently won the TIFF People’s Choice Award for Amazon doc Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe. A drama adaptation of Romero’s book is also being developed. Naomi Harvey will exec produce both projects under the Golden Possum Productions banner.

Despite being fired as X-Men '97 showrunner (the details are still sketchy) shortly before the series premiered on Disney+, Beau DeMayo has remained active on social media, sharing intriguing insights into the development of the animated revival show and revealing some of his key influences.
DeMayo has previously explained how the iconic "Superman takes flight" sequence from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel inspired a similar moment from episode 6 featuring Storm regaining her powers, and has now revealed that a different scene may have "subconsciously influenced" Rogue attacking the villainous Bastion in the recent season finale.
This was yet another standout moment for Rogue, who unleashed the full extent of her power while channelling the pain and rage she felt after losing Gambit in the Genosha massacre
I was likely subconsciously influenced by this when writing the #xmen97 finale beat of Rogue punching Bastion. That’s not Superman hammering Zod.

Florence Pugh has made multiple appearances in the MCU, including a theatrical film and a Disney+ series. However, her return to the big screen could net her an eight-figure salary.

The best days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are behind it, and I don't just mean the fall from its decade-long box office throne. Any media that reaches pop culture omnipresence like Marvel movies did inspires a counterwave of backlash -- it's just the way the discourse flows. And with the MCU, there's a lot to critique.
There's shoddy filmmaking, the centering of Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as the creative glue, the cheap self-deprecating humor that's spread its roots across Hollywood (e.g. Netflix's live-action "Cowboy Bebop"), and the aimless, complicated-yet-simplistic narrative that exists in service of nothing but its further propagation. That last issue is inherited from Marvel Comics, yet if you dive into current Marvel comics, you'll find one all-too-aware series that is weaving MCU critique into its (meta)text. That series is Al Ewing's "Immortal Thor".

The season 1 finale of Marvel Studios' acclaimed animated series, X-Men '97, hit Disney+ this past Wednesday, and it's fair to say the events of "Tolerance is Extinction - Part 3" left us with a lot to discuss.

Beau DeMayo has been at the center of media attention ever since X-Men ’97 started airing. While the show has been an absolute hit, many fans were confused when the executive producer was fired from his position eight days before the series aired. Such a drastic decision was quite surprising, as not only did he produce the series, but he was also the sole creator of it.
Beau DeMayo was an important part of X-Men ’97
Since the news hit the internet, many have been wondering if he will be coming back for the second season now that the first has concluded. While the writer has confirmed that he was a big part of the writing of season 2, his exit made his involvement quite hazy. However, a recent interview may have confirmed his standing with the franchise.

Following her scene-stealing role in the X-Men '97 finale, there's been a hurricane of Storm announcements this week. Not only is the stalwart X-Man leader joining the cast of writer Jed MacKay and new series artist Valerio Schiti's Avengers this August, but she'll also headline her own solo ongoing series in October.

The first season of X-Men ‘97 recently concluded with the titular team taking down Bastion and putting an end to his nefarious plans. The finale of the animated series delivered several powerful moments, with many mutants getting a chance to shine. However, some fans felt that Storm was unnecessarily sidelined from the final battle.
X-Men ‘97 disappointed after Storm was sidelined in the finale.
Fans took to social media to criticize former showrunner Beau DeMayo for leaving out Storm from the battle, implying that the choice was made because of her racial background. However, DeMayo responded to the criticism and provided his own explanation for why Storm did not have a larger role in the finale to X-Men ‘97 season 1.

X-Men '97's first season wrapped up on Disney+ yesterday and showrunner Beau DeMayo has returned to X and shared more insights into the finale, "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 3."
As we first reported on Toonado.com, he began by revealing what we've long suspected since the series started: Morph does indeed have romantic feelings for Wolverine. That was hinted at in a shower scene earlier in the season, and DeMayo has confirmed the non-binary mutant's feelings are indeed one-sided.
This adds new context to the scene in the finale when Morph transforms into Jean Grey and, in that form, tells Logan they love him. Now, we know that what initially seemed like the mutant's way of comforting his dying friend was, in fact, a declaration of love...

Spoilers for "X-Men '97" follow.
Rejoice, my X-Fans, for your theories have prevailed.
The "X-Men '97" season 1 finale, the three-part epic "Tolerance is Extinction," ended in shocking fashion. The big bad Bastion sent Asteroid M on a collision course with Earth, deciding to force humanity into extinction rather than evolution. Professor X, unable to not see the good in Magneto, even after his frenemy's torturous attack on Wolverine, pulls Erik back to the light with a telepathic therapy session. The X-Men, once more including Magneto, save the world. But then they vanish, pulled through time to the past, future (Cyclops and Jean), and parts unrevealed. The past X-Men, stranded in Egypt, circa 3000 BC, meet a grey-skinned mutant that fans will certainly recognize.
As is Marvel tradition, there's also post-credits scene revealing that, while the X-Men are scattered across time, an old foe is rearing his head. In the present, En Sabah Nur's future self,...

Marvel Comics has announced that Storm is set to become Earth's Mightiest Mutant in the pages of Avengers #17 this August. Ororo Munroe will join the team in Jed MacKay's current run of the series, with artist Valerio Schiti, fresh off his bold work on G.O.D.S., also joining the title.
Krakoa's tragic fall has made the Avengers realize how vital a mutant voice on the team is, and they'll settle for nothing less than the most prominent and beloved mutant superhero on the planet. A pop culture icon, Storm has assembled with the Avengers before - in both comics as well as other forms of media - but never like this.
Not only will the Avengers need her Omega-level power for the battles ahead, but they'll rely on her unique expertise and leadership skills as MacKay's overarching plots involving Kang, the Twilight Court, and more kick into high gear.

With the studio set to introduce Marvel’s first family Fantastic Four in the MCU, fans are revisiting the previous adaptations of the superhero team, including Josh Trank’s 2015 reboot boasting a stellar cast including Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell. There is no denying that the film has not been the best the superhero genre has to offer and fans have now noted one glaring flaw that further compounds its shortcomings.

The superhero team has always been defined as Marvel’s first family. However, the 2015 reboot film doesn’t seem too keen to follow the concept as two of the leading characters Susan Storm and The Thing hardly have a conversation in the movie.

It’s easy to forget about the X-Men in a world where the Avengers have dominated the box office for over a decade. Despite both teams being introduced to the world with their comic books in 1963, the Avengers always seemed to edge ahead in popular culture. ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is the second highest grossing movie of all time with $2.7 billion, and ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ is the closest X-Men film to that success with $746 million.
The debate over which team is better may never end, but ‘X-Men ‘97’ provides a strong argument for fans on the mutants’ side. The ten-episode Disney+ series picks up right after the events of ‘X-Men: The Animated Series,’ which ran from 1992 to 1997. Episodes release weekly, and the first three are streaming now.
