We, and Peter Parker, have heard it a zillion times before: with great power, comes great responsibility.

Netflix’s adaptation of Ben Dunn’s Warrior Nun Areala is a series that wants you to have faith. Not necessarily faith in the biblical divinity or hellish demons that drive the uneven plot forward over 10 episodes, but faith in the narrative trope of an unsuspecting Chosen One™ being called upon to save the humanity…

In 2000, after a pair of PlayStation games that were more science fiction than swords and sorcery, I wanted a Final Fantasy that skewed heavily towards classic fantasy fare. Final Fantasy IX, released on July 7, 2000, in Japan, was exactly the game I was looking for.

Florida is nearing a breaking point. The novel coronavirus pandemic has surged across the state, passing 200,000 cases over the July 4 weekend.

Cate Shortland discusses how Black Widow will carry on Nat’s legacy through Yelena. Kumail Nanjiani talks about what he wanted to bring to The Eternals’ Kingo. Another familiar face is confirmed for Lucifer’s final season. Plus, what’s to come on Snowpiercer’s finale. To me, my spoilers!

Another day, another war for the fate of Cybertron, and things are looking dire in Netflix and Rooster Teeth’s take on the latest version of the Transformers origin story. So dire that even Optimus Prime, scion of hope and occasional truck, is getting a bit defeatist.

The exciting news of George Miller prepping a new movie about Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road came with a huge asterisk. The film was going to be a prequel and Charlize Theron would not be returning. Theron knew that was Miller’s decision, but it didn’t mean she wasn’t disappointed.

Marie Lu, author of the Legend series, has a brand-new, far-future dystopian YA series arriving this fall, inspired in part by her own experiences as an immigrant in the United States.
