The 1987 film Evil Dead II dramatically changed direction, becoming a funny, cartoonish, and deliberately exaggerated sequel. While it had some scary moments, Evil Dead II was as inspired by comedic filmmakers like Tex Avery as it was by horror directors like Dario Argento. Its playful absurdity lessened the fear and suspense of the original. Where Raimi’s first film was a brutal challenge, his second felt more like a slapstick comedy show. The sequel, Army of Darkness, amplified the humor even more, adding a historical action-adventure storyline.

While not the first to use them, the Marvel Cinematic Universe really popularized post-credits scenes as a way to hint at future storylines, making those extra scenes almost as thrilling as the movie itself.

Showrunner Dario Scardapane recently told Entertainment Weekly that they’re about halfway through production, with all scripts completed except for the finale. Currently, they’re finishing up episode four and will move onto the final blocks of episodes before wrapping up filming in June and July.

Although it’s tempting to think of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey as similar to his more recent, large-scale films like Interstellar, it actually shares more in common with his earlier work. Nolan hasn’t directed a superhero movie since The Dark Knight Rises over ten years ago, but he says The Odyssey is most connected to his Batman trilogy.

Before his recent work, David Wise was known for composing music for the classic Battletoads series. He even hinted at a Battletoads revival in 2018, which ultimately happened in 2020, and he contributed to the reboot’s soundtrack, though he wasn’t the lead composer. At Gamescom LATAM 2026 (where we also played Phantom Blade Zero), Ebaster had the chance to interview Wise about his career and the challenges and opportunities of composing music in 2026, considering how much technology has changed in the last four decades.
