In the final episode of WandaVision (spoilers!), we see Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) gently tuck her children into bed, knowing full well they’re about to fade from existence.

Sam Raimi is listed among the producers for The Unholy, so that bodes well for this Jeffrey Dean Morgan-starring tale of a teenaged girl (Cricket Brown) whose visions of the Virgin Mary bring miracles—but also some verrrry unsettling darkness. It’s certainly an alt-Easter cinematic selection, and its trailer is here.

Super Sentai, the Japanese superhero series that ultimately gave the West its own legion of superheroes in the Power Rangers franchise, turns 45 this year.

I’m not sure why DC Comics decided March 11 was the right day to make a ton of announcements, but I’m glad it did, because all the news ranges from good to great. In addition to an anthology featuring tales of DC’s queer heroes by all-queer creative teams, the animated series’ Batman takes on the Court of Owls, Lobo’s…

The CW’s plan to resurrect USA’s 2004 series The 4400 definitely comes across as the network’s latest go at bringing aliens/futurism/superhero drama to television. Presumably, it will happily exist alongside things like the Arrowverse and the Roswell reboot. But since it’s been so long since the original was on air,…

There’s a paradoxical relationship between the legacy of one of Star Wars’ best games and the animated show that became one of the most beloved pillars of the franchise at large. Arguably, Star Wars: The Clone Wars killed Republic Commando at its apex—but without the groundwork it laid, the animated series and its own…

Marvel’s superhero movies make billions of dollars. Despite how much WandaVision has dominated pop culture these last few months (albeit after more than a year and a half without any Marvel Cinematic Universe content whatsoever), and even though it has likely driven at least some Disney+ subscriptions, the shows don’t…
