The world premiere of the trailer for Captain America: Civil War came out today. For anyone that saw the end credits scene in Antman, it should be no surprise that the trailer starts where that scene left off: Bucky, captive, as a plainclothes Captain America explains the situation.

And the situation is dire.

The trailer does an impressive job of setting a dark tone for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whereas some of the other movies have held a lighter note, the Captain America movies have consistently presented the world of America’s ideal soldier in a grim light. This is looking to be just as true for Civil War.

The interesting question will be how this movie sets up the world for future Marvel movies. After Civil War we’ll have a few that likely won’t be directly affected as much. Movies such as Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Then, however, we’ll have Spider-Man. He’ll be making an appearance in Civil War, as will the versatile and fascinating character of Black Panther. Both characters will see their own solo adventures later down the release line with Spider-Man coming out July of 2017, and Black Panther February of 2018.

Though the actors have been cast for those characters, it’s unclear what the plots will be for each movie. Yet, as each character will have an appearance in Civil War, it’s conceivable that the events that take place could have far-reaching effects, even so far as these solo movies.

Even if that’s not the case, right after we have Avengers: Infinity War Part I. Whatever could happen that would tear the Avengers up, Thanos will surely force them back together as he brings the Infinity Gauntlet to bear.

Marvel has a track record of releasing information in their movies in a specific order to build the bigger picture. Everything that’s happened has been building towards the Infinity War, and the events in Civil War could go a long way in setting up the playing field for Thanos’s appearance.

Catch the trailer for Captain America: Civil War and let us know your thoughts.

Recently, we had the opportunity to witness Amazon’s remarkable rendition of the renowned WRPG series Fallout. Assuming that the initial observation failed to sufficiently stimulate your atomic curiosity,. Therefore, we have an additional video showcasing our main characters in action: Lucy, who resides in a vault (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus, a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel (Aaron Clifton Moten).

The group interaction is briefly observed in the two-minute film. Fortunately, for those who appreciate the trajectory of the television series, there is not a significant delay until the complete season becomes available. Commencing on April 11th, all episodes will be accessible on Prime Video, and we will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of the days.

Another noteworthy development in Fallout is the resurgence of a highly absurd modification in Fallout: New Vegas, which enables players to enlist Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as a buddy. In light of recent developments, it is evident that the future prospects of the ongoing multiplayer experiment Fallout 76 are promising, given the substantial participation of over 17 million players since its first release.

Generally, The Marvels is good. It has a 59 on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t great, but it’s better than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Perhaps director Nia DaCosta’s video game inspirations contributed to that.

The American filmmaker said Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children influenced her latest film at a press junket with IGN. “It’s just an amazing movie, with great fight scenes and a great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she said.
Despite poor reviews upon release in 2005, Advent Children has become a Final Fantasy cult classic. DaCosta seems to agree that the film is a classic. PlayStation exclusives also influenced the Marvels.

In the interview, she said she didn’t want the superhero film to look “too much like a video game” but did draw from Sony’s biggest franchises, like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. “For me, it was from the best games, the best stories that you get, that sort of inspires me to play, and I think inspires people to watch movies like this,” she said.

Since movies have shaped video games since their inception, it’s interesting to see the dynamic slowly changing. Now that technology and interactive storytelling are more complex, filmmakers are looking to PlayStation for inspiration.
