Agents of SHIELD Series Finale Review: All Endings Are Bittersweet

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the series finale ofMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., “What We’re Fighting For."] The series finale ofMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.took its time saying goodbye.

Cyberpunk 2077's Open World Shuts Down Any Storytelling Progress

Ostensibly, the open-world video game aims to give the player as much freedom and control as a video game can offer. And in many key examples, in many wide-varying subgenres — fromGrand Theft AutotoBreath of the WildtoWitcher 3— this hypothesis is proven correct, submerging the player into a transformative, all-encompassing world where they truly can make deeper and wider decisions than in their “on rails” brethren. However, one giant, highly anticipated, and highly controversial recent release lays bare the seemingly paradoxical limitations of the open-world video game form; the loss of depth that occurs when you try to go as wide as possible....

Girlfriend's Day Trailer: Bob Odenkirk Goes Noir for Netflix

Though they have put together at least a half-dozen great TV series in their existence, Netflix has only produced one great movie thus far:Ava DuVernay’s13th.I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House,Into the Inferno, andBeasts of No Nationare all solid overall, but they don’t completely legitimize Netflix’s branching out into original films the way that13th, a movie that every single American should watch, does. There are high hopes, however, for the movies they have coming up over the next two or three years, includingDuncan Jones’Mute,Angelina Jolie’sFirst They Killed My Father, andAdam Wingard’sDeath Note....

In addition to the eponymousGuardians, we knew that Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) were also coming back, which in addition to writer-directorJames Gunn confirming their return, made sense. They had grudges with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana), respectively, and Gunn could pick that up. A larger question was whether or notBenicio del Torowould return to play Taneleer Tivan, The Collector....
