Doctor Who Twitter Teases 13th Doctor, Reveal Set for this Sunday

This Christmas, for the first time ever, the clock will strike 13. With it being long confirmed and painfully certain that Peter Capaldi will be stepping down from his role as the Doctor, the Doctor Who twitter released a teaser video today announcing the new Doctor will be revealed this Sunday, July 16.

Capaldi was a major departure from the status quo of the show, from the kind-hearted confidence of David Tennant to the lovable quirks of Smith. 12 even differed greatly from Eccleston’s 9. For the last three seasons, we’ve been given the chance to look at a more grizzled Doctor. While still the “silly old Doctor,” we saw the story of a man with too much blood on his hands, wondering if he’s a good man.

We were gifted a resolution to this question with a breathtaking performance on Capaldi’s part in the Series 10 finale. The Doctor Falls served as a wonderful wrap up to the story of a conflicted, pained Doctor. With Capaldi we got instant classics like Heaven Sent, Listen, and Face the Raven. We’ve been through two companions in Clara and Bill, both of their stories being tied up in typical Steven Moffat fashion. Of course, it must come to an end, and now a new Doctor (and showrunner) are poised to take over. Capaldi will regenerate in the upcoming Christmas episode. 

Moffat, leaving the show after 10 seasons, 6 of which spent as showrunner, will be replaced by Chris Chibnall. Chibnall was head writer on Who spinoff Torchwood, along with writing 5 episodes of Who itself. His credits include 42, The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood, The Power of Three, and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. He’s also the creator and showrunner of Broadchurch, whose finale aired this past April.

There have been many names tossed around as to who the next Doctor will be. Speculation has been tossed around for a few regenerations now that the next Doctor would be a woman, ranging back to when Billie Piper was up for the role of 11. Moffat and co. settled with a female Master for Capaldi, but there are strong indications the next Doctor will be a woman. The current frontrunner is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who worked on Broadchurch with Chibnall. Close behind is Kris Marshall, who was favored to land the role earlier this year.

Whoever the role goes to, we can expect the next series, with an all new Doctor and showrunner, to take a different direction than the previous few series has. The BBC will announce the next Doctor Who lead at the conclusion of Wimbledon this Sunday, July 16!

I play a lot of video games and watch a lot of cartoons. I'm probably complaining about Overwatch.

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.

Amazon’s upcoming TV adaptation of Fallout is shaping up to be impressive, hinting at a promising future for video game adaptations such as HBO’s The Last of Us. In just over three minutes, the portrayal of the eccentric post-apocalyptic world is almost flawless, leaving us eager for what’s to come.

The costuming, casting, and production pedigree are all top-notch, and we’re excited to see where the series will take us. Amazon’s adaptation will focus on protagonist Lucy (Ella Purnell), a vault dweller who steps out of the safety of her lifelong home into the harsh Wasteland of a ruined Los Angeles. Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the showrunner, has mentioned that the Vault symbolizes peaceful societies such as Canada or New Zealand. It delves into the challenges faced by those outside the vault that are unimaginable to those inside.

‘Amazing’ Final Fantasy Movie Inspired The Marvels Director

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.
