While it might not have been the first, the Marvel Cinematic Universe spearheaded by Kevin Feige and now under the ownership of Disney has refined the formula for a modern audience. Beginning with Iron Man in 2008 and exploding thanks to The Avengers 4 years later, the MCU pumps out multiple movies per year, almost all of which have garnered considerable critical and commercial success. Seeing the success Marvel Studios were enjoying, rival studios clamored to adopt the shared universe approach, but many of these pretenders have since fallen by the ways
The Lego Movie was a big hit for Warner Bros. in 2014. Taking Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt ) through a colorful brick world and encompassing characters from a multitude of franchises and brands, the long-awaited debut of the Danish toy company on the big screen was enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Once again, this success set off the shared universe alarm at Warner Bros. HQ and it wasn’t long before a direct sequel and a multitude of spin-offs were green
As a result of China’s manufacturing taking a hit, a number of products that were originally meant to be delivered worldwide have been halted or delayed. This has affected a number of industries, including the tech, toy, and gaming industries, delaying product construction and events like Taipei Game Show that were meant to be showcase new produ
Sett is the more recent champion to be released on this list and at his release, he was probably one of the most banned champions in the entire game. This is because on top of his straight forward but really solidly made kit, he was just straight up overpowe
The China native played Zoe twice, landing every sleepy trouble bubble imaginable, not dying a single time. He even switched from a carry role to a support-like role, playing Orianna against FPX in the finals, finishing with a KDA (kill/death/assist) of 2/2
With both Akaadian and Dardoch now on their active roster, a decision on who the starting jungler will be is expected to come within the next week. Whoever wins the job, the other will be sent down to Academy. Either way, Dignitas will look to improve this split in hopes of making a playoff
Similar to the league of legends News of Legends cancellation, the Overwatch League also saw delays , as the February and March matches in China have also been cancelled due to concerns of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Both of these cancelled events will surely impact both Blizzard and Riot, as these esports leagues tend to draw in massive crowds for both the present audience, as well as online. However, it’s likely the esports players and teams that will likely be feeling these delays the hardest, as their livelihoods are built on their performance and sponsorsh
There’s a lot to unpack from 2020’s first international tournament, from Korean champs T1 being eliminated in the group stage, to Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok’s concerning performances. But here are five of the biggest takeaways from the 2020 Mid-Season
One strange effect of the Coronavirus lately, has had more to do with gamers directly as opposed to the industry behind selling and developing games. Some titles with surface level similarities to the virus have been skyrocketing as fears of the Wuhan Coronavirus have swept across the world. In fact, popular mobile title Plague Inc. has excelled in China since worries of the virus started spreading throughout the coun
That’s why cosplayers most often feature Jinx’s classic appearance. Belgian creator Roxace is no different, but what makes her special is that she resembles Jinx even without heavy makeup. And once she takes the full form of LoL ’s champion, the resemblance becomes uncanny . Even with the plush shark instead of the proper wea
Similar in style to the MCU and DCEU, the Arthurian series would’ve comprised solo films for various famed characters of legend and built towards a crossover team-up against a major villain. Audiences and critics, however, sensed that trying to hammer a centuries-old story of knights and vikings into the en-vogue superhero format of the day was bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, and King Arthur ‘s fortunes weren’t helped by an almost invisible marketing presence that meant the release passed most movie-goers by. Unfortunately, those who did witness Legend of the Sword were largely unimpressed with the film’s sequel setup, erratic pace and weird David Beckham cameo . Generally considered one of Ritchie’s weaker efforts , King Arthur: Legend of the Sword might’ve fared better without the weight of a further 5 films lingering in the dista
However, rumors still claim that both systems will still be releasing by the end of this year, even if we don’t know the exact date yet. With both the PS5 and Xbox Series X coming in as the most highly anticipated pieces of gaming tech for 2020, any delays would be immediate news and likely spark fan outrage. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but considering the current halt in the market, anything is really a possibility at this po
