The Boys: All 6 Times Hughie Gets Covered In Blood

The Boys is a pretty gory show, but no character has unintentionally gotten covered in blood as many times as Hughie, and here are all six times that it has happened. Throughout the four seasons of The Boys, Hughie has found himself in all sorts of terrifying situations, with many scenes often involving characters exploding, getting ripped apart, or otherwise dying in an incredibly gory fashion. These frequent deaths have left Hughie covered in blood and guts far more times than any normal perso...

How GoT Would've Ended Differently If Jon Snow Was The "Mad" Targaryen

Game of Thrones' final seasons would have been very different if Jon Snow, also known as Aegon Targaryen, was the Targaryen to "go mad" instead of Daenerys. Game of Thrones' final season was met with outrage from fans of the show. The writers' character assassinations of beloved players, such as Tyrion Lannister, the dropping-the-ball plot maneuvers with Missandei, Arya, and Bran Stark, and the good/evil simplification of Jon Snow and Cersei Lannister rendered Game of Thrones' season 8 disappoin...

Every Battlestar Galactica Cylon Model Explained

Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica re-imaging was a big hit, and it owed a lot of that success to the mystery around humans and the Cylons. The Battlestar Galactica of the early 2000s took what had been a heavily mechanized sentient race of robots in the 1978 Battlestar Galactica series and turned them into humanoid Cylons that were indistinguishable from human beings. This led to dramatic reveals when the humans learned that someone they previously thought to be one of them was actually a C...

The 100-Year-Old Movie That Inspired A LOT Of Your Favorite Directors

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a silent German film from 1920, was completely innovative for its time and continues to influence filmmakers to this day. Emerging out of German Expressionism, a modernist movement in which reality was distorted for emotional effect, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari utilizes a set made of painted canvases positioned at improbable angles. Every element was crafted to bring about a feeling of threat and impending doom. It was the first movie to create a mindscape, a subject...

Hannibal Wouldn’t Have Worked Without One Small Real-Life Detail

NBC's series Hannibal set itself apart in the way it used visual world-building to accentuate its story. Many viewers may not have noticed these subtle details, but they elevate the show by adding an extra level of nuance and care to the overall series. Showrunner Brian Fuller drew from Thomas Harris' gothic, psychological novels rather than the well-known movies The Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, and Hannibal. The result was surreal horror, layered with a multisensory, stylized beauty. Th...

House Of The Dragon Brutally Broke 1 Major Game Of Thrones Character Rule

House of the Dragon brutally broke a major Game of Thrones rule with the death of Lucerys Velaryon. The Game of Thrones showrunners took great pains to avoid placing its young actors, and thus characters, in violent or sexually-charged situations. It largely accomplished this by aging up the characters from the books to the show, whereas House of the Dragon employed four strategic time jumps to move the story forward, and more importantly, age the characters to where they needed to be at the tim...

Ring Of Power's Huge Timeline Retcon Was Unnecessary (& HOTD Proves It)

The Rings of Power has condensed thousands of years of Tolkien's canonical timeline in sweeping retcons that could have been handled the way House of the Dragon managed time jumps. Both shows are based on written source material that covers quite a bit of time, but their approaches to dealing with this couldn't have been more opposite. The Rings of Power showrunners avoided time jumps in season one and introduced the major players immediately, so everyone was in place for the action. House of th...

The Rings Of Power's Canon Changes Mean Legolas CAN Appear In S2

The Tolkien canon changes in The Rings of Power have been massive, which makes an appearance by Legolas in season two a possibility. Of course, the show won't add characters who physically could not be alive, but the writers have been stretching the meaning of "could." Given that The Rings of Power only has so many hours of programming to work with and that Tolkien didn't flesh out the Second Age as the First and Third Age, dramatic license is understandable, but retconning the birthdates of key...

Who Every Stark Is Named After In Game Of Thrones & What It Really Means

In Game of Thrones, Lord Eddard Stark named his children, including one the viewer initially believed was his bastard son, after people who were important to him or the history of House Stark. When writing his epic fantasy novels, George R.R. Martin drew names from mythological and historical transitions, largely from Celtic and Greek mythology. However, some names were drawn from Hebrew and Sanskrit. With the Starks, he directly borrowed from Old English and the word "strearc," which became the...

Why Frodo Was Perfect To Destroy LOTR's One Ring

In The Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit Frodo Baggins was the best choice as the Ring-bearer to take the One Ring into Mordor to be destroyed. In The Hobbit, Frodo's cousin Bilbo went with Dwarves to face down a dragon, while Frodo, who at the beginning of the epic trilogy by JRR Tolkien and later the Peter Jackson films, wanted nothing more than a quiet life in The Shire with his friends. He turned out to be Bilbo's heir in more ways than one. When adventure came calling, Frodo rose to the challen...

How The Godfather’s Best Pacino Scene Saved The Movie

One key scene in The Godfather saved Al Pacino's job and the movie itself. Francis Ford Coppola's film, based on the Mario Puzo novel of the same name, is commonly ranked as one of the greatest films ever made. It tells the story of one man's transformation from "good guy" to "bad guy." Michael Corleone, played perfectly by Al Pacino, was the second-youngest son of Vito Corleone and the main protagonist of the epic story. Pacino's performance, along with Coppola's direction, are two key elements...

All Wizards/Istari In Lord Of The Rings

Throughout Tolkien's Middle-earth, in The Lord of the Rings and beyond, several mysterious figures appear called Istar, and these Wizards have extensive back stories.

Saul Goodman Proved Walter White Wrong In 1 Huge Way

In Better Call Saul's series finale, Walter White of Breaking Bad made an observation that Saul Goodman would prove wrong in the end. As Walt and Saul awaited relocation, they hid in an underground bunker owned by Ed "The Disappearer" Galbraith. Seemingly at random, Saul asked Walt what he would do if he had a time machine. After he belittled Saul for the impossible logistics of time travel, Walter said that he'd go back to the time before he was forced out of Gray Matter, the company he co-foun...

Battlestar Galactica Paid A Secret Tribute To The Original Series

The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, both the miniseries and subsequent weekly television series, paid homage to the original show of the same name from the late 1970s. This original Battlestar Galactica certainly drew inspiration from Star Wars, which was released a year prior to Battlestar Galactica's premiere. At the time, there was little precedent for fast-paced space stories told with state-of-the-art special effects. Enter Battlestar Galactica, an episodic drama that was driven by themes...

Why Galadriel Comes Off As Unlikeable In The Rings Of Power

Galadriel in The Rings of Power was quite different from her counterpart in Lord of the Rings. In Amazon's long-awaited series The Rings of Power, Galadriel's character was portrayed as an abrasive and arrogant warrior princess. The Galadriel of Lord of the Rings was kind, warm, and gentle, with great beauty and charisma. It's difficult to imagine her as a wrathful soldier clad in a suit of armor. Her elegance and stature didn't mesh with the unpleasant she-elf in The Rings of Power. This dispar...

Daemon's House Of The Dragon Story Can Fix A Game Of Thrones Failure

Stannis Baratheon and Daemon Targaryen, both second sons with brothers as king, had quite a bit in common, as well as some stark differences. Each believed himself to be the rightful heir.
