24: Live Another Day quietly debunked a popular theory about 24 villain Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke). For years, fans believed that Nina Myers somehow survived being shot in 24’s season 3. Those hoping for her return will be disappointed, however, as 24: Live Another Day, the limited series event, confirmed this was never the case. In season 1, Nina was a love interest to Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who was currently separated from his wife, Teri (Leslie Hope)....

The Final Fantasy series has produced some of the most iconic villains in video game history. Characters like Kefka, Kuja and Sephiroth will often top “best video game villains of all time” lists. There are a few reasons for this level of affection from fans. The extended length of most RPGs means that we tend to see more of the Final Fantasy villains than a lot of video game antagonists. They also tend to have creative designs, epic boss themes and a freaky looking transformation for their final encounter....

The dating sim genre is full of games ranging from comedic to dramatic and relatively realistic to strange and outlandish. This wide variety of options has helped make the genre a very popular one in the world of gaming, and with different takes on the genre come new relationships to explore and new matchmaking techniques to experience. While any game under the dating sim umbrella shares core mechanics like meaningful decision making, these games can still be quite diverse, with some blending genres, making them more accessible to those more familiar with other kinds of games....

Glee is one of those shows that almost immediately inspired a large and incredibly devoted fanbase – affectionately known as Gleeks. At the height of the series’ popularity, many millions were tuning in to keep up with the musical highs and lows of the teenage outcasts of the McKinley High glee club. We stuck with favorites like Rachel, Finn, Kurt, Santana and Schuester through loss, love, plenty of growth, and near infinite numbers of slushies to the face....

Looking back, though, most of my predictions happened as expected. The ongoing politics around cyberwar and privacy, the increase in organized cybercrime, the increase in the use of encryption and biometrics: it was all there in 2014.

This is not only promising for the acceptance of cyber risks and the need to control them; unfortunately, it also shows how vulnerable we have actually become to relatively simple attacks....

It seems like only yesterday that Marvel did the unprecedented and brought together a number of big name stars and superheroes to form the cinematic adaptation of The Avengers. Since then, the adventures have continued both separately and together. And with a little over a year before it premieres, the team-up to end all team-ups, Avengers: Infinity War, has officially started production. With a cast said to feature over 60 stars from past films (and hopefully television series), the movie will be a blockbuster feat like no other....

It used to be an unwritten rule that any and all superheroes… and villains in a lot of cases, were required to wear capes. Capes have been seen less as comics have become more mainstream, which could have something to do with their proclivity in killing their wearers (see The Incredibles or Watchmen for reference on this phenomenon). Despite their objectionable standing in the 21st century fashion industry, most modern comic characters only wear them for specific purposes....

Although it is hard to sustain a relationship in the crazy world of Hollywood, there have been those celebrity couples whose adorably sweet and authentic real-life romance have just touched the hearts of fans all over the world. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone definitely stood out in that regard. The two young actors met while making 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and sparks flew from the get-go. While the film and its subsequent sequel didn’t necessarily wow critics or some intense aficionados of the comic book web-slinger, most agreed that Garfield, as Peter Parker,and Stone, as his doomed love Gwen Stacy, created some of the best onscreen chemistry ever....

25 years after Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired on The WB (now known as The CW), the supernatural teen drama remains one of the most impactful cultural phenomena in television history. The staying power of the series, which began as a cult hit, is extraordinary. There are many plot lines and characters in the Buffyverse that fans still feel passionate about, even long after the show aired its final episode. Yet if one element of the expansive story has endured —and is still constantly debated— it’s Buffy’s love life....

Although Shazam will make his big screen debut next month for DC, Captain Marvel originally belonged to Fawcett Comics. Created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck in 1939, the character debuted in Whiz Comics #2. Although the similarities between the Big Red Cheese and a certain Man of Steel were unmistakable - seriously, DC sued Fawcett - both heroes wound up at the same publisher eventually. DC won their court case, but Fawcett was closing up shop anyway, although DC didn’t choose to claim Captain Marvel until the ‘70s....

Decades have a peculiar way of crystallizing celebrities and confining them forever to a particular time and pop-cultural space. Harrison Ford has never left the public consciousness, but it’s hard to think of him without also thinking of the ’80s— the decade of Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Blade Runner. While many of Hollywood’s brightest stars sustain careers that span decades, there’s no shortage of actors whose stardom only lasts a few years....

The last time we saw Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, he was vanishing into dust as he pleaded with Tony Stark not to let him go. It was a gut-wrenching moment in which we saw not a superhero, but a frightened kid who wasn’t sure about his fate. If fans hadn’t been convinced of Holland’s fittingness for the role of Spidey yet, that scene did it. Actually, the last time we saw Holland’s Spidey was in the recently released trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, his second solo movie....
