3 Great Ideas For the Next Alien Movie That Don't Just Repeat It All Again
Projects like Romulus and Earth have made the Alien franchise bigger than it’s ever been, and we see no signs of it slowing down. It’s no longer a question of whether another Alien project will happen but when, and fan hopes are high. Whether we see another showdown between the Xenomorph and Predator, a follow-up to a previous story, or something entirely new, we’re excited to see where the series goes from here. And of course, we have ideas.
4 Things That Still Don’t Make Sense About Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park is one of the most famous, popular, and profitable movies ever made, but it doesn’t always make sense. That’s not just because of the hard sci-fi premise of cloning dinosaurs from blood harvested from mosquitoes trapped in fossilized tree sap. We can totally buy that pseudo-scientific premise if it gets the story going; no, we have other, deeper issues with Jurassic Park, which must be discussed.
10 Stephen King Adaptations That Ignored the Books (Including The Long Walk’s Superior Ending)
The best Stephen King adaptations don’t necessarily just rip the pages out of the book and feed them into a camera. Adaptations, by their definition, require changes, but some filmmakers are freer with the process than others. The main changes you’ll see in Stephen King movies are the endings. The author is so well-known for leaving things open and unresolved that even his cameo character in It: Chapter Two mentions it to the movie’s King analogue.
7 Most Underrated Episodes of Batman: The Animated Series
Batman: The Animated Series delivered some amazing Batman episodes. Ones like “The Man Who Killed Batman”, “Perchance to Dream”, and “Beware the Gray Ghost”, often top most best-of lists, and for good reason: They’re great. But TAS has 85 episodes, and some of them don’t get the attention they deserve. These stories include some of Batman’s most famous enemies, some characters that don’t often get enough attention, and even some new faces.
3 Great Peacock Shows Your Whole Family Can Binge in a Day
If you’re planning a day in with the family, picking a movie or show to watch can be a tough order. You have a lot of great options with a Peacock subscription, but they may not be appropriate for everyone. While things like Poker Face and Twisted Metal are certainly a great time, and we recommend them, they might be too violent or crude for younger kids. And older kids and parents probably won’t make it through 50 episodes of Madagascar: A Little Wild.
3 Best The X-Files Episodes About Ghosts
We love its conspiracy-laden alien invasion metaplot just fine, but we think that some of the best episodes of The X-Files are the “Monster of the Week” entries. These more self-contained stories let the show and its actors branch out and try something new, silly, or completely terrifying. Agents Mulder and Scully have squared off against monsters, superpowered killers, robotic cockroaches, and even the spirits of the dead.
The 4 Most Influential Time Travel Movies of All Time
We love a good time travel story. Sometimes, we even love a bad time travel story. We love time travel. This sci-fi subgenre is one of its most flexible, as you can approach it from many different directions. Can you change the future, or are the “changes” you make already part of the normal sequence of events? Or is this a multiverse situation? And what happens if you kill your grandpa? Some time-travel movies transcend genre to affect culture as a whole.
3 Things Star Trek: The Original Series Did Better Than Any Other Star Trek Show
Star Trek has undergone significant changes since the debut of The Original Series in 1966. Still, the general bones of the franchise remain the same: the idea that curiosity, empathy, and cooperation are the qualities that will carry us into the future. Across the decades, various series have developed these threads and expanded into other ones, like “what if there were aliens where some of them were two aliens and oneis a slug that lives in the other’s belly“?
3 Things That Don’t Make Sense About the MCU if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Isn’t Canon
Despite Marvel’s initial insistence and a handful of direct crossovers, it seems that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer canon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But without its contributions to the lore, some parts of the MCU don’t quite line up. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ran on ABC for seven seasons from 2013 to 2020.
The 3 Scariest Jurassic Park Dinosaurs (That Aren't T-rexes or Velociraptors)
The Jurassic Park/World franchise has over a half-dozen entries so far, and they’re all in agreement on one thing: many dinosaurs would eat you, whether they’re hungry or not. The main culprits throughout the series are Velociraptors and the Tyrannosaurus rex. Raptors will claw your tummy. A T-rex may simply chomp you, but it could also push your car over a cliff, step on you, or swim after you like a shark. It likes to keep its options open.
4 Marvel Heroes That The Boys Needs to Roast Immediately (Including the MCU's Biggest)
The Boys is already full of characters based on established comic-book heroes and villains.
5 More Horror Franchises That Could Have Great TV Spinoffs Like Alien: Earth
Alien: Earth brought the dreaded xenomorph – and a host of other grotesque, extraterrestrial creepies – to the last place we wanted to see them. It, along with 2024’s solid Alien: Romulus, returned the franchise to its roots of scary things in small spaces while largely ignoring the greater lore of the prequel films. Earth doesn’t demand new viewers to know about black goo, Engineers, or whether to count Prometheus as a Christmas movie.
