New World Review in Progress

-
Update #1: Amazon’s New World has been out for little over half a week, but its still-overpopulated server queues have shown no sign of waning. After several days of multiple-hour-long queues, I’ve finally managed to scratch together a level 20 sword-and-shield-wielder on the Minda server – Syndicate, if you’re curious – and I’m having a pretty good time overall, despite some laggy moments here and there. In my journey from level one to level 20, I’ve already witnessed everything from a full-blown hostile takeover of my starting zone (First Light, which was apparently grabbed out of the Syndicate’s hands by the troublesome green-tinted Marauders) to the threat of an upcoming invasion by the encroaching Corrupted horde. I haven’t yet been directly participating in these large-scale battles for the fate of Aeternum, which are reserved for level 50 characters and above. Instead I’ve spent most of my time running around the map, filling my inventory with whatever isn’t nailed down, and...

Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror Explained: Who Is the Ant-Man 3 Villain?

-
hile the MCU is still establishing a new overarching direction in the aftermath of Avenegrs: Endgame, it's safe to say Kang the Conquerer is going to be a big deal in the years ahead. Jonathan Majors debuted as a version of this iconic Marvel villain in the Season 1 finale of Loki, and the death of He Who Rmains merely sets the stage for more versions of Kang to plague the timeline. So the question is, now that Thanos is gone, how much of a role will Majors' character play in the MCU moving forward? We know Majors will play Kang in 2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania , and we even got our first look at Kang thanks to a Comic-Con poster . But even the next Ant-Man movie is just the beginning of Kang's story. If you're not familiar with Kang or why he has the potential to be the next Thanos-level threat to the MCU, we're here to shed light on this powerful villain and also explain the Season 1 Loki ending.

Lord of the Rings Actors Are Trying to Save J.R.R. Tolkien's Home

-
The Lord of the Rings community is coming together to fundraise enough money to purchase the home where J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. According to the project's website, the goal is to turn the North Oxford house into "not a dry museum, but a homely house of continuing creativity" and will have "an engaging online presence to bring into the house's programme those who cannot travel to Oxford." Middle-earth actors Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, and John Rhys-Davies, as well as songwriter Annie Lennox, took part in filming a video detailing the fundraiser.   The campaign was launched on December 2 by novelist Julia Golding. She negotiated a deal with the owner of the house to give her three months to raise the funds needed to buy it, according to Entertainment Weekly. Approximately 6% of the $6 million goal has been raised, according to the donation page on the project's website. Only $5.3 million is needed to purchase the house itself, but extra money will go towards restoring Tolkien's garden, building a Hobbit hole, and creating "Smaug's lair for pipe smokers." Tolkien lived in the house from 1930 to 1947. A FAQ on the fundraiser's website said that The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were written in that house and Tolkien's children grew up there. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=amazons-the-lord-of-the-rings-every-confirmed-actor&captions=true"] 90 years later and Middle-earth is one of the biggest entertainment properties around. Amazon reportedly dropped $250 million just for the rights to make a TV series set in Middle-earth and is expected to spend upwards of $1 billion to make multiple seasons. The series is expected to be back to filming after a COVID-19 shutdown. It's also been reported that multiple Lord of the Rings characters from the movies will be a part of the highly-anticipated show. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/24/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum-teaser-trailer"] Aside from a Lord of the Rings TV show, there's a Gollum video game coming soon. Titled The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, it's described as a stealth game mixed with Prince of Persia. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN who is more excited for Gollum: Prince of Persia than anything else right now.
