    Lanterns Reveals the Origin of Those Mysterious Black Portals, And It Makes A Lot of Sense (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We finally know what those mysterious portals are in Lanterns, and it makes a disturbing amount of sense. Lanterns is an unusual TV show, with every episode reinterpreting everything that went before it. Lanterns episode 3 was John Stewart’s origin story, and it radically changed our understanding of the character. John has been groomed to become a Green Lantern all his life, trained to be what his parents thought a perfect Green Lantern would be – something so much less than human. But the back

    Lanterns Episode 3 Hid the Truth About the Guardians in Plain Sight, & It Could Rewrite John Stewart's Entire Origin Story (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lanterns episode 3 was a thrilling flashback, revealing John Stewart’s backstory – or so it seemed. Three episodes in, and it’s clear Lanterns isn’t your standard superhero TV show. This story doesn’t just feature twists and turns; the script is smarter than that, with each twist subtly rewriting everything that came before. When it comes to Lanterns, you really shouldn’t take anything as read. John’s Green Lantern story began when he was just a baby, when his father was passed on for the Power

    Lanterns Finally Reveals The Meaning of John Stewart's Birds, And Every Parent Can Relate (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lanterns has finally revealed why John Stewart has a thing for birds, and it’s more to do with character than power. Lanterns is in a class of its own as a superhero TV show; it’s prestige TV, with phenomenal character work. Episode 3 was a John Stewart origin story, daring to rewrite comic book lore and tell a chilling story in which a child’s parents tried to raise their son so he was literally fearless. In the process, they stripped their son of all his human connections. John never got to sp

    These 5 Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Scenes Aren't in the Movies, But Would Have Made Them Even Better (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Everybody has an opinion when it comes to the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Although I’m far from uncritical about the sequels, my own opinion on them has always been informed by the fact my nephews and nieces love them. George Lucas always argued that Star Wars is for children, and an entire generation first encountered Star Wars when a desert rat on Jakku stumbled on a runaway droid. At Star Wars Celebration, I was stunned to see Rey was the most common cosplay; social media really isn’t represent

    18 Years Later, The Best Quote in Iron Man Defined the MCU's Early Success (And It's Not the One You're Thinking) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Eighteen years later, we’re used to the idea that the MCU is a juggernaut. Yes, there have been stumbles along the way; Phase Two had some weaker films, while the Multiverse Saga hasn’t exactly landed as planned. But the MCU is still a force to be reckoned with, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s box office reminds us. Marvel recently unveiled the MCU’s X-Men cast, setting up a Mutant Saga that’s sure to be a success. Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey has the potential to be the new Iron Man, centerpiece of th
