The fourth season premiere of The Boys, initially met with substantial unexpected criticism, resulting in the series achieving its lowest audience approval rating to date. However, the grueling finale, filled with typical gore, surprising plot turns, and a heart-wrenching cliffhanger, has significantly improved the season’s standing.

Within just a few days of its premiere, Deadpool & Wolverine chose to unveil an additional trailer, surprising fans with the announcement that X-23 (Laura Kinney), portrayed by Dafne Keen, would be making an appearance in the movie. This third Deadpool installment serves as a unique blend of transitioning from the 20th Century Fox X-Men universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and acting as both a heartfelt tribute and a fond farewell to over two decades worth of non-MCU Marvel films. The cast includes Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Aaron Stanford as Pyro, Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, Jennifer Garner as Elektra; however, the latest sneak peek has introduced another hero into the mix.

As a dedicated Netflix fan, I’ve recently learned some exciting yet disheartening news. Just a few weeks after rumors surfaced about Netflix potentially launching a free ad-supported version in Europe and Asia, it appears that U.S. viewers seeking an ad-free experience will need to dig deeper into their pockets. During their latest earnings call, Netflix announced that the $11.99 per month basic plan is being phased out. This means that subscribers like me will only have two choices: pay $6.99 for the ad-supported tier or shell out at least $15.49 for the standard ad-free option. While I’m all for innovation, this price hike leaves me feeling a bit squeezed.
