Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has taken to social media to air his grievances with his former co-workers at the FOX Network, noting he wished that the hit animated series aired elsewhere. “Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network,” MacFarlane wrote on Twitter. “Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working anymore. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC....

AEW Rampage officially premieres this Friday night in Pittsburgh, and All Elite Wrestling quickly started building up the card during this week’s AEW Dynamite. The show began with the confirmation that Kenny Omega will defend the AEW World Championship against Christian Cage at All Out. But Cage had an extra surprise waiting for “The Belt Collector” following a show-opening six-man tag match, confirming that he’d be taking on Omega for the Impact World Championship at the start of Rampage’s premiere episode....

There’s no denying the impact that Star Wars: A New Hope has made on all of pop culture, with all reminders about the changes made while developing the movie making fans happy that those decisions were avoided, which includes Chewbacca nearly wearing lederhosen in the adventure. Given that Chewbacca was clad only in a bandolier, adding clothes to his attire would seemingly imply they were covering up his anatomy, potentially posing complications with how audiences viewed the Wookiees....

A new LinkedIn listing out of Insomniac Games may hint at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Over on the website, Jason Hickey, art director at Insomniac Games, reveals he’s working as an art director on an unannounced project. Naturally, Hickey doesn’t disclose any details about this project, but his past work hints it could be the Spider-Man sequel because according to his LinkedIn, his latest project at Insomniac Games was 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man, which he worked on as a Lead Environment Artist....

Plans for Battlefield 2042’s microtransactions may have been unearthed by data miners. Battlefield 2042 has been an incredibly controversial title since the time of its release. Just weeks prior to coming out, the game received a month-long delay that was then followed by a messy beta, giving some fans pause. Some hoped that the beta was an outdated build and wasn’t reflective of what the final game would be. Unfortunately, the final game was just as bad, if not worse in some areas....

Ahead of the episode’s premiere tomorrow Marvel Studios has released the first clip from the new Marvel’s What If…? on Disney+. In the brief new footage we get to hear Frank Grillo return as SHIELD Agent Brock Rumlow, talking about the capabilities of Natasha Romanoff (Lake Bell, not Scarlett Johansson), who is seen in the back of a SHIELD van as a prisoner. It’s unclear what’s going on in the larger episode but a previously released teaser for the episode revealed the question at the heart of the entire episode: “What If… The World Lost its Mightiest Heroes?...

The coronavirus pandemic has seen a number of delays and cancellations take place in the world of anime, but the franchise of Sailor Moon is looking to join in fighting the cause with a series of masks that will help “flatten the curve” that have now been made available. Sailor Moon was one of the anime franchises that saw delays as a result of COVID-19 with a live-action ice show and the next feature-length film of the series being delayed as a result of the pandemic which has affected the world of entertainment since last year....

Hulk Hogan defeated The Iron Sheik to become the new WWF Champion inside Madison Square Garden on Jan. 23, 1984, kicking off a new golden era for the World Wrestling Federation (now the WWE). The first of Hogan’s six world championship reigns in WWE would last a whopping 1,474 days, lasting all the way up until Andre The Giant pinned him at The Main Event I in February 1988. Hogan took to his Instagram story on Sunday to reflect on the match, saying “January 23rd, 1984, the wrestling business changed forever brother....

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston came up short at AEW Double or Nothing on Sunday night, falling to The Young Bucks in a match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Moxley and Kingston started out with plenty of momentum by jumping the champs before the bell, but things turned when Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson attempted to interfere. Gallows was dispatched by Kingston, Frankie Kazarian appeared out of nowhere to attack Anderson, but in the chaos Matt Jackson bashed Moxley across the face with a cold spray canister and busted him open....

A new museum all about Isekai is about to open in Japan! Kadokawa recently announced their efforts to expand their line of content with 40 new anime series a year, and with this new effort we’re likely to get some brand new Isekai anime. It’s kind of an in-joke among fans now, but the Isekai genre is now so big it’s seen all kinds of takes on that central premise of someone ending up in another world....

Captain Marvel star Brie Larson taught her fellow Marvel actress Tessa Thompson how to play Fortnite. The past few years have seen the Carol Danvers actress show off her gaming hobby even more than before. Over quarantine, she played a ton of Animal Crossing. But, these days, she’s heavy into Fortnite: Battle Royale. For Thompson, this introduction was a lot of fun. As expected, the two Marvel stars always have entertaining banter, and this video was absolutely no different....

With the upcoming release of Death Stranding Director’s Cut for the PlayStation 5 set on September 24th, Kojima Productions and Hideo Kojima have been particularly vocal in promoting the title. That said, the original video game is already available for both the PlayStation 4 and PC, so perhaps it is simply that that isn’t nearly as much to keep veiled as there was. Whatever the case might be, Kojima himself recently took the opportunity to share a tip about avoiding BTs in Death Stranding – both the original and the Director’s Cut version – that could come in handy for new players and veterans alike....

Floyd Mayweather and social media sensation Logan Paul went the distance in their highly-anticipated bout, with the exhibition match ending in no contest without any knockouts. Now, there were some strange rules in place for this match. There were no judges and that means there’s no official winner. But, people still tuned in for a show and they got it, even if they are upset with the lack of a result....

It’s been about five years since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released in theatres and three years since the team was last seen in Avengers: Endgame. Marvel fans are eager to see the lovable space crew again in Thor: Love and Thunder before coming together one final time in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is currently in production. The threequel is hitting theatres next year, but director James Gunn has something special coming first, the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special....

Promotional posts for Hawkeye’s season finale showed fans what the hero’s new costume looked like. Disney+ played host to the holiday series this week. It’s become a running joke among Marvel fans that these shows always provide the main hero with a new costume by the end. Clint Barton wasn’t going to be any different in that regard. You knew Hawkeye had a bit of a “marketing problem” to paraphrase Kate Bishop....

Hideo Kojima is a fan of the Snyder Cut of Justice League. The video game director spoke about Zack Snyder’s Justice League on Twitter and fans were basically over the moon with his analysis. If anyone is in a position to critique a story or artistic choices, the man behind Metal Gear Solid is probably a good choice. Kojima praised the development of The Flash and Cyborg specifically. In the theatrical release of Justice League, it felt like Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher weren’t given a ton to do....

Ray Porter, the actor who provides the voice of Darkseid in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, took to social media today to share a really cool bit of personal backstory that ties him to the world of the film.

Ms. Marvel has a fun connection to Doctor Strange that some fans have just uncovered. On Reddit, one poster noted that Mohan Kapoor, the actor who plays Kamala Khan’s father Yusuf in the series, actually voices Doctor Strange in the Hindi versions of his movies (But not Multiverse of Madness). It’s a fun little Easter egg that might make you look at their interactions in a bit of a different light....

Paradox Interactive CEO Ebba Ljungerud “has decided to leave the CEO position with immediate effect,” according to a press release.
