It’s been an altogether different story for DC. Though they did get off to a good start with Man of Steel , Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice wasn’t the hit DC was expecting, nor was it received well by critics. Suicide Squad performed well at the box office, but garnered a lukewarm critical response. Wonder Woman , on the other hand, was a huge critical and commercial success, and was the first sign that DC didn’t have to rely solely on Batman and Superman anymore. That being said, things didn’t turn around for DC — at least not yet. Its next movie, Justice League , was its biggest movie to date — and its biggest failure. Justice League was declared a disaster . Things have improved since then, and DC has managed to build what may prove to be an exciting list of movies to be released over the next three ye

The second-half of The Flash season 5 will see Barry Allen and his fellow superheroes in Central City facing two threats; the super-powered serial-killer Cicada is still at large and the team faces an enemy within, as The Flash season 5 midseason finale revealed that Nora Allen – Flash’s daughter from the future – has been working for the Reverse-Flash . It remains to be seen if she’s a willing pawn or an unwitting dupe, but it seems likely this will end in tears in either c

Little is known about this animated film, which was first announced through a leaked trailer that was meant to appear before the home video release of Teen Titans Go! To The Movies. It has been confirmed, however, that Warner Bros. Animation truly is making a movie that will pit the Teen Titans of Teen Titans Go! against the Teen Titans of the 2003 Teen Titans anime. The movie is planned to be released near the end of the year in 2019, though it remains to be seen if it will be a direct-to-video release or a theatrical rele

The second original live-action series produced for DC Universe, Doom Patrol has been highly anticipated since the team first appeared in an episode of Titans . Based on the classic comic series about ” The World’s Strangest Heroes, ” the new series does take some liberties with the comics by including Teen Titans mainstay Cyborg as part of their line-up. Still, with the promise of weirder characters like Danny The Street also being brought to life, this is one to keep an eye

This is a bit different than the situation with the MCU. Several of DC’s films are generating more enthusiasm than Shang-Chi and Eternals . Of course, this doesn’t mean that either of these film will fail or be any less successful than DC’s movies. If Marvel has proved anything with Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy , it’s that it knows how to make millions with C and D-list characters. Shang-Chi and Eternals could easily be huge box office hits. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige believes that a movie like Eternals is worth the risk . The idea here is that Marvel is putting quality over popularity. It remains to be seen if this will pay off. Regardless, as it stands, DC’s upcoming movie slate is succeeded in creating the most buzz. How well that will translate to box office numbers is another mat

Making headlines and defining this year is OG’s record-making win at the International 9 last August. The team became the first back-to-back winner, first team to win two Ti’s, became the highest-paid professional esport players in the world and achieved that with a clean slate of zero matches lost during the International 9. And of course won $15.6 million in the proc

Those who think esports occupy a small, forgettable faction of the entertainment industry are unequivocally and undeniably wrong. Esports may seem small due to a lack of mainstream coverage, but the budding industry is a global phenomenon with a fanbase in the hundreds of millions. Still, esports continues to be difficult to wa

Spells come with one of three different tags, Slow, Fast, and Burst. These can be used at different times and the opponent will either have a chance to react, or not. Slow spells can be cast outside of combat, but the opponent has time to respond with a spell of their own which can counter the spell you have cast either by cancelling it, or adding conditions that waste its eff

For instance, coverage of a battle royale is going to be drastically more complex than a game like Mortal Kombat and completely different than MOBA patch Analysis coverage. Asking one entity to develop the infrastructure to cover all games is quite a reach. This leaves developers in charge of covering their own events and lets them dictate how they set up tournaments, pay athletes, and cover the events. Could there ever really be a unified esports community under this system? Probably not. This means a lack of regulation, consistency, and viewership will always be an industry-wide conc

It’s unclear whether universal control over games that operate under the catch-all domain of esports will ever exist. Escalating conflict between streaming platforms that compete for viewer attention certainly isn’t helping the case for unified growth. It’s also worth questioning whether universal control is even needed. Larger titles seem to be doing just fine supporting their own leagues. A 16-year-old just took home $3 million at the first-ever _ Fortnite _ World Cup, after
