‘Squid Game’s Original Ending Would Have Totally Ruined This Fan-Favorite Character Squid Game Season 3 made the bold, and correct, decision to kill off Gi-hun, but the original ending would have made the wrong choice.

Weren't satisfied with the #SquidGame series finale? Well, writer-creator Hwang Dong-hyuk had a different idea that would've ruined a crucial moment.

Forget Diana! This Underrated DC Character Needs To Be Wonder Woman in James Gunn's Upcoming 'Paradise Lost' HBO Max Series Superman director James Gunn is developing a Wonder Woman series, and he should make the lead character Nubia.

#Superman is the DC movie I've been waiting for! @jamesgunn.bsky.social brought a comic book to life with so much joy, hope, & colour. David Corenswet is not just a Man of Steel, but a man of so much heart. Rachel Brosnahan & Corenswet have so much chemistry. Nicholas Hoult's Lex is scary. Love it!

Hot Take, but Jeremy Allen White Shouldn’t Return as a Series Regular in ‘The Bear’ Season 5 Jeremy Allen White is a major part of The Bear, but Carmy's arc in the show is over, and it's time for the other actors to step into the spotlight.

After Carmy's journey comes to a satisfying end in #TheBear Season 4, I personally think it's time for Jeremy Allen White to step back & have the show focus more on Ayo Edebiri's Syd & Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Richie.

Since I was writing about this chilling mystery late at night, I had to turn on something bright and cheery so I wouldn't get scared.

What a scene between Jon Bernthal and Charlie Cox in #DaredevilBornAgain episode 4.

I was expecting an explosive dynamic between them, and in a sense, it is. The emotions these actors give off in this scene are so powerful.

Request put in, thanks man!

I was today years old when I learned that 'Psycho' star Anthony Perkins is the father of writer-director Osgood Perkins ('Longlegs' & 'The Monkey').

So cool that he continued with the horror route.

I still hold out hope that the platform will return in some way in my lifetime 🤞

Dude, that's so cool! That place should be a national landmark. It should be immortalized with a statue of puffles
