In April Marvel will be releasing a number of reprints of classic Avengers comics, to coincide with the release of Avengers: Endgame. One particular comic - Avengers #71 - stands out for its title: “Endgame.” The identical name may simply be a coincidence… or it could confirm the real inspiration for the movie’s title. Even before Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters, fans were tossing around all sorts of theories on the title of the fourth Avengers movie....

Katheryn Bigelow’s Detroit ends with a text card stating that while every endeavor was made to ensure the movie’s accurate to its harrowing real life events, due to the closed nature of the central action beat several things were fabricated. As such, along with evaluating the distressing racial politics at play, one of the big questions coming out of the film is “what was changed”? Detroit is nothing if not authentic - we are in a Bigelow film after all....

The first three movies featured a great cast, especially Devon Bostick (The 100) as Rodrick, so why did Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul recast the Heffley family? Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is based on the book series by Jeff Kinney, which are journals written by main character Greg Heffley. The books aren’t afraid to show Greg as kind of unlikable, lazy and selfish, and the series charts the strained relationships between Greg, his family and best friend....

Eagerly anticipated streaming service Disney+ is now available for pre-orders. Disney is set to become a major player in the streaming wars. The service launches on November 12, with a library of 862 movies and TV shows to be made immediately available for streaming, and much more on the way. Disney+ is designed to bring all the properties owned by the House of Mouse under a single banner. Although much of Disney’s most popular content has previously been available elsewhere, for some time now they have been gradually removing it from the various platforms, principally Netflix, to make Disney+ the only place it can be streamed....

Kevin Kiner, who composes the music for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, doesn’t believe that Disney has made a wrong decision so far with its handling of the Star Wars universe. His opinion is probably a controversial one, though, considering there are many extremely strong fan opinions about how Disney has treated the latest trilogy of films. It might seem that no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans....

Proving good products do their own marketing Apple’s taken a giant thumbs-up from its growing enterprise market with no less than Deutsche Bank declaring there’s “no going back” to BlackBerry after an “overwhelmingly positive” iPhone trial. The bank had been testing Apple’s iPad internally. Deutsche Bank Equity Research’s Chris Whitmore says it has been running a two month trial of iPhones using Good Technology’s secure e-mail application. The email solution uses Microsoft Exchange through a custom interface which makes the process seem similar to using a Gmail account on an iPhone, and the experience has been so good the company is convinced....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NcQ_7ALmflE&noredirect=1] Yes, that is a video of various iOS apps running on a BlackBerry PlayBook. A developer, called “Businesscat2000,” posted videos on the CrackBerry forums last weekend that depict iPad-based apps running on the RIM tablet. According to The Verge, CrackBerry’s Kevin Michaluk subsequently confirmed the developer’s efforts after conducting some tests: Businesscat2000 also detailed his feat in the forums: Michaluk had the developer write out “Hi CrackBerry” on the SketchBook Mobile iOS app, as well as run the iPhone app for the site iMore....

Early last week, Discord announced a significant change that would block iOS users from accessing servers with NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content. However, the company decided to reverse its decision on Tuesday and will now soften such restrictions, allowing some NSFW content to be viewed on the iPhone and iPad.

Disney released a large number of live-action movies during the 2010s. While many of these films including Beauty and the Beast, Christopher Robin, and The Muppets were successful, not every one was a winner. Being that we already covered the best Disney movies of the 2010s, we’re here to focus on the worst now. Rather thank ranking them ourselves, however, we’re turning to IMDb for answers. The popular entertainment website has assigned every live-action Disney film a star rating based on the votes of registered users on a scale of 1 to 10....

Netflix will soon face its biggest challenger to date in Disney, which has spent the last decade or so gobbling up Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and most recently, Fox. Disney is the 800-pound gorilla of the entertainment industry at this point, with its films and TV shows dominating the pop culture landscape. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Disney wants to grab a piece of the streaming pie with Disney+, first announced last year....

Hannah Montana once told her adoring fans that the school she attended was Hogwarts. Despite the nod to the Harry Potter franchise, none of the characters made more references to the material (likely because it’s not a Disney property), so fans never heard if the real person behind Hannah Montana’s persona knew which Hogwarts house she belonged in. The Disney Channel original series ran for four seasons and received a feature film....

Disney has two of the most lucrative brands in Hollywood with Star Wars and Marvel, but it is the galaxy far, far away they’re more protective of, according to director Taika Waititi. Over the last few years, he’s made comedic indie hits What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but it was his work in 2017 on Thor: Ragnarok that truly showed he can bring his unique sense of humor to any project....

The Batman family may rely on capes, cowls, and gadgets, but Nightwing has relied on nothing but his signature suit and streak of blue to win fans. So it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that Nightwing himself, Dick Grayson, ranks his superhero suit as one of DC’s coolest. Not that Dick Grayson would ever be the kind of superhero to brag about such a thing (there are too many… questionable Nightwing costumes in his past to get an ego)....
