The first trailer for the X-Men’s appearance in Avengers: Doomsday is now available, and fans are especially excited about Cyclops’ costume. It’s the classic yellow and blue suit from the 1990s and X-Men: The Animated Series, rather than the more modern black leather or colorful jumpsuits often seen in superhero films. Interestingly, comic book writer Chris Claremont once said that bright, spandex costumes look great in comics, but would be awkward on real people. While that might have been true in 2000, audiences have become much more accustomed to seeing characters’ iconic looks faithfully recreated in live-action over the past 25 years of superhero movies and TV shows.

Both the book and the TV series delved into the complicated relationship between Ilya and his brother, Alexei (called Andrei in the books). From the beginning, a strong rivalry was established, and it became so intense that viewers wondered what had caused the brothers to grow apart.

I went into watching this episode with pretty low expectations, honestly – I didn’t want to be let down. But wow, “Severance” really delivered! It’s up there with Season 37’s amazing “Treehouse of Horror” segment that brilliantly parodied Late Night with the Devil, and it’s easily one of the best pop culture references The Simpsons has done in a while. (I’m not sure how it landed with people who aren’t familiar with Macrodats, though.) Seriously, make sure you catch all the A+ references throughout the episode. Just a heads-up: spoiler warning if you haven’t seen it yet on Fox or through your Hulu or Disney+ subscription!

With its Disney+ debut just weeks away, Marvel Studios has given fans their first glimpse of Yaya Abdul-Mateen II as Wonder Man in costume. This reveal marks the 15th official superhero suit to be showcased as part of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
