There has not been a bad Spider-Man movie (good to great MCU Tom Holland, instantly iconic Spider-Verse), TV series (Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey, Spider-Noir is fab), or videogame (Insomniac are awesome) in the last decade. Generational run of high quality across all mediums.

This is everything wrong with how we share interview clips today in one tweet. - Deliberately negative and inaccurate framing - No link or credit given to the outlet - But it’s got over a million views

Dear Andy Serkis: Hobbits aren't real. Nowhere in the Lord of the Rings did Tolkien say "every single hobbit in the Shire is white." Also, if he did, hobbits aren't real. It won't destroy your story, which again, is fiction, to have some Black and Brown hobbits. Sincerely, Sheryl

The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know…"

He tails off and pauses before continuing, with greater certainty: "They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in.

"Yes, there have been criticisms," he says, acknowledging arguments that are now almost a quarter of a century old.

"This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But I don't think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it's where relevant basically."

"It is not enough to remember the mistakes of our past, Charles. Honor me with action, not tears. That world needs you. It always has. Perhaps that is why I gladly played the devil who pushes sinners to embrace the saint." Magneto's dialogue in X-Men '97 is always a cut above the rest.

Happy #XMen97 day to all who celebrate! Somehow, they found a way to make the intro even cooler! Those fresh guitar riffs are everything. Never has the 'Skip Intro' popup been so unwelcome.

🚨 The future of mutantkind has a new strike team. The New X-Force makes its explosive debut in #XMen97 Season 2, & this opening is pure 🔥. Cable leads the charge as a new generation steps up when the X-Men are gone. Stream it now on Disney+!

Fun fact: After 9 years, this is the first 5 star review for a film or TV series that I've written for Empire. Wild! But The Bear sure as hell earned it. Episode 7 of this final season is truly incredible and worth multiple watches. Gonna miss Carmy, Sydney, and the crew (yes, even the Fak's)!
