THE GIFTED Shifts to Tuesday Nights Next Fall; GOTHAM’s Final Season Held Until Midseason
Fox has unveiled its schedule for the 2018-2019 season, just in time for its Upfronts presentation. X-Men-inspired drama The Gifted will air on Tuesdays at 8 PM EST for its second season. The show previously aired on Mondays at 8. The series was renewed earlier this year in the midst of its well-received first season. Last night, Fox renewed DC’s Gotham for a fifth and final season. Now, the network confirms that the series won’t return until midseason, aka next year. It was previously reported that the season will run for 13 episodes, which is smaller than the usual 22. While it’s still not confirmed officially, it’s looking more likely now…

Fox Renews GOTHAM for Fifth and Final Season
Over the past couple days, Fox has renewed or cancelled several of its shows, in preparation for its Upfronts panel tomorrow. However, one series that wasn’t decided on immediately was Gotham. The Batman prequel series is in its fourth season, and it has consistently declined in ratings. This has led to speculation on its future. Now, Fox has made a decision….and it may be bittersweet for fans. Fox has announced that Gotham will return for a fifth season. However, this will be the final season of the show. The season will wrap up the show’s unique origin stories for Gotham City’s heroes and villains, while it will particularly focus on…

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Review
I didn’t want to watch this. But what can you do when you have someone pointing two katanas at you while strapping you down with the help of ducktape. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a failed attempt of this katana-wielding supposed best friend. While I can’t see how this individual has a best friend (I’m kidding I’m kidding Mr. Pool), I have to admit that this truly is a failure of a movie. The movie starts off strong with the backstory of Wolverine (played by the everyone’s favorite Austrailian actor Hugh Jackman) and Sabertooth (played by Live Schreiber), two mutant brothers born in the 1800s (not the best time for mutants,…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Becomes the Highest Grossing Superhero Movie of All Time Worldwide
Avengers: Infinity War has held the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row, to the surprise of no one. Meanwhile, the Marvel Studios epic has set some new records. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Infinity War grossed an estimated $61.8 million this weekend, giving it the fourth-biggest 3rd weekend in history. Despite a few new releases, none of them are tentpoles, giving Infinity War no real competition. That will end next week, however, with the arrival of Deadpool 2. In China, Infinity War grossed a massive $200 million in its opening weekend. This gives it the second-biggest opening in the nation, behind The Fate of…

Review: DEADPOOL
Grab some Chimichangas, because it’s time to review Deadpool. Also known as the funniest superhero movie ever made. By a landslide. Oh, I wasn’t supposed to show my cards so early into this review? Oops. Well, onto the lovefest… Deadpool is the first ever solo movie for the “Merc with a Mouth”, a wise-cracking, fast-talking antihero from the X-Men Comics. He was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, and made his first appearance in issue #98 of The New Mutants back in February of 1991. It isn’t technically his first appearance on the big screen, nor is it Ryan Reynolds’ first time playing this character, but let’s not go further there. The story…

ABC Finally Cancels INHUMANS After One Season
Back in September, ABC premiered its latest Marvel show, Inhumans, which was made in collaboration with IMAX. The eight-episode series was trashed by fans and critics, while ratings were mediocre. So, this news shouldn’t be surprising….except for how long it took to announce it. ABC has confirmed (via TV Line) that Inhumans has been cancelled after just one season. Based on the show’s reception, literally everyone saw this coming. But it’s surprising to see ABC wait until the last minute to confirm it. The series’ last episode aired in November. With Inhumans out of the way, attention is now turned to ABC’s other Marvel show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Despite low ratings, the…
