Similar to other online word guessing games, the Canuckle was made by the inspiration of Wordle. However, there is a catch.

The directors behind Captain Marvel want to see Carol team up with Valkyrie in the future. After over a decade of movies, Marvel Studios finally released their first female-led film earlier this year with Captain Marvel. The solo movie starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers was a massive success, earning over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Warning: SPOILERS for Captain Marvel #11 Things with Captain Marvel have gone from good, to bad, to worse, to… great?! After the passing of her father it was revealed to Carol Danvers (and eventually to the world) that she was actually half Kree.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are awaiting each new piece of news relating to Captain Marvel, which will not only bring one of the comics’ longest-lived “legacy” heroes to the screen but also mark the first film from the studio to be fronted by a female character. But what form the film might take, in terms of what sort of story those same fans can expect to see play out, has largely remained a mystery – including whether or not it would be the place where audiences learned its hero’s origin story....

A lot of moviemaking entails Hollywood hoping you don’t notice something is off. Sometimes that means making a backlot in Los Angeles look like the deep South. Other times it means making that movie star who isn’t Tom Cruise look like he can actually do crazy stunts. Movies are, have been, and will always be a matter of smoke and mirrors, tapping into an audience’s imagination to fool ’em for two plus hours....

True Detective casts Carmen Ejogo for the crime anthology’s next installment. The actress will appear alongside Mahershala Ali who was previously tapped to play season 3’s lead as Arkansas state police detective Wayne Hays who is tasked to investigate the disappearance of two children back in the ’80s. HBO has been extra careful with the franchise, taking into consideration whatever they have learned during the show’s second installment and using them to better prepare for what comes next....

In this chapter, I address general concerns related to virtualization security. I focus on what questions you should ask during a risk assessment of a virtualized environment, using Microsoft and VMware virtualization solutions as examples to demonstrate concepts. Before we begin, let’s be sure we understand server virtualization technology as discussed in this chapter. Figure 10-1 depicts a high-level view of a VMware environment. Virtualizing servers allows various guest operating systems to run on a single hardware platform....

Captain America: Civil War is betting on moviegoers being hungry for even more superhero vs. superhero carnage on the big screen by the time it arrives this May, and aims to up the ante considerably by featuring two entire teams of costumed crimefighters battling for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Warning: SPOILERS for Captain Marvel #11 It looks like Star might finally be ready for round two in her epic conflict with Captain Marvel in Marvel’s upcoming Star #4, the penultimate issue of the miniseries.

But the Gotham City citizen who has come knocking isn’t the Dark Knight, but the Penguin… with a job offer that only somebody like Selina Kyle can pull off. In her heyday, Catwoman could fight, flip, and fleece with the very best treasure hunters and amateur archeological adventurers throughout fiction....

“When Captain America throws his mighty shield…” You know the rest. One of Marvel’s oldest and most beloved characters, Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, was first introduced in 1941. Over the past 75 years, the character has starred in thousands of comic books, cartoons, motion picture serials, and, most recently, 2016’s premiere blockbuster event, Captain America: Civil War. Cap has also starred in several video games, and while he’s occasionally been the lead character, he’s more often featured as part of a larger ensemble....

Cats continues to confuse audiences worldwide, so we’re taking a look at the absolute weirdest moments of the movie. It’s been less than a month since Cats dropped in theaters, and the internet can’t stop talking about it. Who can blame them? This very pricey big-screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s notoriously strange but wildly popular musical was always a bizarre prospect for a movie. The original musical Cats is adapted from a book of poems by T....

I’m bracing myself for the comments section as I confess that, almost 2.5 years after it was first launched, I bought a ceramic Apple Watch Series 5. I would like to put it on record that this whole thing started in a perfectly innocent fashion … New usage, new Watch faces I initially saw the Watch as being all about at-a-glance information. For most of my Apple Watch ownership, then, I’ve almost exclusively used the Infographic Modular face....

Yet another person has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe vs. Martin Scorsese debate, this time with Chadwick Boseman entering the fray. The debate started back in October when Scorsese claimed the MCU isn’t cinema and likened the movies to “theme parks.” This kicked off a lengthy discussion online where both Scorsese and the MCU earned supporters. Famed directors like Francis Scott Coppola and Roland Emmerich took Scorsese’s side, while MCU actors like Sebastian Stan and Robert Downey Jr....

Captain Marvel’s new look in Avengers: Endgame was Brie Larson’s choice. Even though Marvel Studios is currently in the final few weeks of building hype for the end of Phase 3, it has already been a massively successful year with the release of Captain Marvel. It is their first female led movie and crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office in less than a month. The movie served as the true introduction to Brie Larson’s version of Carol Danvers aka....

An adorable video features Goose the cat actor Reggie answering questions from fans about Captain Marvel. The feline performer played Goose in the superhero origin story (called Chewie in the comics, but renamed for the film as part of its recurring Top Gun motif), and was a huge hit with audiences, quickly becoming one of the film’s most popular characters and outshining his human co-stars, with videos spotlighting him and fan posters replacing the heads of major characters with kitty faces....

Carnival Row is a unique fantasy series, combining the thrill of a noir mystery with the aesthetic of steampunk in a Victorian England full of mythological creatures. Immigrants from war-torn kingdoms find their way to the city of Burgue, where their human colonizers live among them in an uneasy peace.
