Despite not boasting the buzz of Instagram or TikTok right now, recent stats highlight how Facebook is still a staple for marketers. Thing is, Facebook is a challenging platform to wrangle due to all of its dashboards and ad options. Keeping up with Meta’s ever-changing business features can be overwhelming. But what if you had a place to oversee your analytics, content and monetization at the same time? Well, Facebook Creator Studio is that tool!...
[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Westworld ahead.] - Of all the characters on season 1 of Westworld, none had a longer, stranger and more dramatic journey than the host Dolores, played by Evan Rachel Wood. At the start of the series Dolores was a meek and innocent farm girl programmed to act as a wholesome object of desire at the center of one of the android-populated amusement park’s cheesier and more harmless narratives....
Between Iron Man and Avengers: Endgame – a 22-movie gargantuan that has been termed “the Infinity Saga” – we’ve been introduced to Earth’s mightiest heroes, gotten to know what makes them tick, and seen them evolve over time. Despite the fact that they’ve all crossed over into each other’s movies and clashed in ensemble pieces, every Avenger has had a very distinctive character arc throughout the MCU. There are wider story arcs like the rise of Thanos and the Sokovia Accords, but through those story arcs, fans can track meticulously crafted, long-running character arcs....
If one were to summarize the collective dating life of the main characters on Friends, nothing would make more sense than this: “Married a lesbian; left a man at the altar; fell in love with a gay ice dancer; threw a girl’s wooden leg in the fire; live in a box!” To write any successful sitcom, character progression is essential and a way of doing that is by showing them through their relationships....
BioWare’s former lead writer, David Gaider, will be founding a new studio called Summerfall Studios in Australia with the help of GX Australia co-director and fellow Beamdog alumni Liam Esler. Gaider brings over 20 years of experience in video game writing to the table, and Esler has a significant track record of marketing and management in the industry.

The six-part series aims to introduce former Steve Irwin apprentice Jack Randall, who from a very early age planned to follow in his idol’s footsteps, and has achieved the dream of headlining his own television series geared toward educating people about the animal kingdom, highlighting some creatures that might otherwise get a bad rap for being rather scary....
Update: We’re hearing reports that the Facebook app is reaping havoc on contacts. You might want to hold off on syncing until this is straightened out. Update 2: A new version is already out that addresses this issue All kidding aside, we suppose that it’d be good to know when someone direct messages you in Facebook – or something. More importantly, Facebook now also lets you sync your addressbook contacts with your Facebook friends which could be beneficial for when people change email/phone/address/etc....
Streaming video services are attractive to cord-cutters for many reasons. You can watch PPV UFC events or occasionally watch NHL or MLB games with ESPN+. Aside from live and on-demand sports, ESPN’s streaming service offers access to its top-notch 30 for 30 and E:60 productions. SportsCenter and NBA and NFL broadcasts are not part of the service. Even with ESPN+’s steadily increasing price, it may still be light enough to warrant a spot in your streaming lineup as a standalone service or in a package....
Eternals will introduce the MCU’s newest crop of heroes, but it could also acknowledge all the problems brought about by the events of Avengers: Endgame. Officially announced at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the film will center on the titular Marvel characters. Admittedly obscure for the general movie-going audience, the Eternals is a group of super-powered beings created by the Celestials. Directed by Chloe Zhao, the film boasts a star-studded cast of characters with Angelina Jolie as Thena, Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, and Don Lee as Gilgamesh....
The lineup of characters set to fill The Eternals movie looks to have been revealed. Marvel Studios is making plenty of progress on what could be their next big cosmic franchise. The Eternals has gained significant steam throughout the year, and now appears to be close to casting with some character breakdowns surfacing. The Eternals will bring to life the outlandish Jack Kirby-created Marvel property. Although the characters are not widely known at this point, they’ll be the first new franchise to launch from Phase 4 of the MCU....
Watchmen is quickly becoming one of the best DC TV shows on the small screen and is actually a strong competitor to other comic book related series. The difference with Watchmen is that the world they are living in is a lot more realistic. That means, compared to other series you may love to watch, the costumes in the show aren’t quite as comic book accurate as you may expect. Many of them are a little bit cheesy and based far more on what you’d find in the real world....
Here’s all the suits Spider-Man uses in Spider-Man: Far From Home? Traditionally, Spider-Man would only wear one or two costumes per movie, but in the MCU his options have vastly increased to the point in Far From Home where he uses four different suits. Every new outing for the webhead tends to bring with it some variation or other on his costuming, and Far From Home is no exception. From a classic Spider-Man look to the super-advanced Iron Spider suit from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame - along with two new suits - the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will continue to add to Peter Parker’s now very extensive heroic wardrobe....
(See update at the bottom of the piece.) If you’re in the UK and were wondering how long it might take before Apple is allowed to enable the ECG feature on the Apple Watch Series 4, the news doesn’t look good. Apple obtained FDA clearance to use the feature in the US just one day before the launch of the Watch, though Apple has not yet enabled it. But despite a study suggesting an accuracy rate of 98% in detecting AFib, Apple may face a much tougher battle in gaining similar clearance in the UK …...

A first look at Disney Channel’s Star vs. the Forces of Evil season 4 premiere has been released. Created by Daron Nefcy, the Emmy-winning show became Disney XD’s most viewed animated series premiere when it arrived in 2015.

The original version of Harley Quinn and the Joker’s love story may not have aged well with every comic reader, but that’s the exact origin writer and artist Stjepan Šejić has re-imagined in the (mature) pages of Harleen from DC Black Label. Diving directly into the themes and layers of attraction, isolation, loneliness, and madness that define DC’s craziest power couple, Harleen has given a new origin story to its titular heroine, without pulling any punches....
The proposed laws, currently before Parliament, seek to establish a requirement for social media service providers to have a complaints scheme in place that allows victims of defamatory comments to both make complaints and request the personal information of the maker of those comments. Under the proposed laws, social media service providers would be liable to defamation for these types of comments if their platform does not have an appropriate complaints scheme....

Nearly every Marvel Cinematic Universe character imaginable makes an appearance in Avengers: Endgame, except for these few major ones who missed out. The bulk of the 22nd Marvel Studios film is centered around the original six Avengers, with added help from Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), Nebula (Karen Gillan), and War Machine (Don Cheadle), but as the movie’s time travel plot unfolds, plenty of familiar faces appear. Surprises like Robert Redford’s Alexander Pierce and Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster make brief appearances during the time travel missions, but the cast truly expands once Thanos’ original snap is undone by Hulk....
Spider-Man finally came back last week with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thanks to a partnership with Sony, Marvel’s web-crawler makes his official feature debut in the MCU with director Jon Watts at the helm, and reviews and fan reactions couldn’t be more positive.
