Minority Mindset

Previous trailers focusing on Chris Evans reprising his role as Steve Rogers and a more serious Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, aimed to evoke feelings of nostalgia and importance. However, they didn’t generate much excitement. Even with two of Marvel’s biggest stars, these previews failed to significantly change how fans felt or revive interest in the franchise, which has been trying to regain its footing since Avengers: Endgame.

Despite lasting three seasons, The Leftovers was almost canceled multiple times. Fortunately, creator Damon Lindelof was able to secure a third season, allowing the show to reach a satisfying conclusion – something not all HBO series get.

The critically acclaimed sci-fi movie Solaris, based on the 1961 novel, is now available to stream for free on Tubi. The film follows a scientific mission that’s thrown into turmoil by the emotional struggles of three crew members. Named after the fictional planet it orbits, the story becomes particularly mysterious when psychologist Kris Kelvin arrives at the space station, only to experience his own emotional crisis instead of resolving the others’.

Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind the massive hit Avengers: Endgame, are back with a new Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr. will return as Dr. Doom, and Chris Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers. Trailers are coming soon to build excitement, but a detail intended to please longtime MCU fans might actually harm the movie.

While the show’s extended focus on the Targaryen family conflicts wasn’t ideal, it’s arguably not the biggest problem. In Season 2, Rhaenyra sends her stepdaughter, Rhaena, along with her sons Joffrey, Viserys, and Aegon, to the Vale with Jeyne Arryn. Rhaena is tasked with caring for the boys and guarding their dragons, Tyraxes and Stormcloud, as well as four dragon eggs. These eggs are later destined to hatch 170 years later with Daenerys Targaryen in Essos, but their presence in Westeros at this point in the story creates a confusing and illogical change to the established timeline.

The Duffer Brothers recently revealed that Vecna was initially conceived as the conductor from The Polar Express. Matt Duffer explained that the villain would have been seen wearing the conductor’s hat and would have picked Holly up “on a train.”

Holt McCallany, known for his roles in Mindhunter, The Iron Claw, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, will join Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Season 3. He’s been cast as Atlas, the powerful titan forced to hold up the sky, and will be the season’s primary villain. According to Deadline, Atlas is seeking revenge against the gods and will appear in six episodes, becoming a recurring antagonist throughout the series.
