Protorelic quests in FF7 Rebirth vary in quality, with some being more engaging than others. Each region has unique Phenomenon Intel locations, offering different gameplay experiences. Gongaga's quest is fun and efficient, for example, while Corel's has way too much filler.
Protorelic quests are a big part of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's side content, but they're definitely not all equal in quality. These side objectives task Cloud and company with tracking down pieces of armor associated with Gilgamesh, a recurring Final Fantasy character who started out as an FF5 villain. Completing every quest can be rewarding, but the road there is often rocky.
Every region in FF7 Rebirth has its own unique Phenomenon Intel locations, and chasing these down leads to the unique encounters that earn pieces of the protorelic. Unlike other standard map features, from Expedition Intel that leads to lifesprings or Excavation Intel that provides buried treasures, Phenomenon Intel...

Myths, legends, religion and history are heavily utilized when creating the stories found in all genres of anime. Dozens upon dozens of myths and legends were used to build the characters and plot of Jujutsu Kaisen , for example, and this anime is far from the only example. Fate/stay night is rife with mythological, legendary, and historical figures. First things first. This article is going to focus on Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works . Yes, I know, I know. This means we won’t be diving into the video games, the other anime installments in the Fate series, or any of the myriad of spinoffs. Related: The Folklore Behind Megumi Fushigur's Shikigami in Jujutsu Kaisen It’s probably no surprise that Unlimited Blade Works is absolutely chock full of characters based on people from myths, legends, and history. Many of the streets shown in the anime can be walked in Japan as well,...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Loki season 2.
Loki's season 2 finale features a centuries-long time skip, allowing the God of Mischief to attempt to stop the explosion of the Temporal Loom. While the time jump in Loki may seem significant, it ultimately has no impact on the wider MCU timeline. The time jump in Eternals, which spans roughly 7000 years, surpasses the time jump in Loki in terms of magnitude and significance.
Marvel Studios' Multiverse Saga has explored millennia of the MCU, with Loki season 2's finale spanning several centuries, marking the second-biggest time-jump in the McU's history. Loki season 2, episode 6, "Glorious Purpose," released on November 9, 2023, concluding Tom Hiddleston's journey as the God of Mischief. Hiddleston debuted as Loki in 2011's Thor, and has since portrayed several different variants of the character, and embarked on two redemption arcs, with the most recent seeing him end up as perhaps the...

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have released their 25th (!) studio album, The Silver Cord. Stream it below.
As always with King Gizzard albums, The Silver Cord serves as a platform for the band to explore a variety of musical ideas, this time focusing on: electronic, synth-led arrangements and breaking down the structural notion of a song. The album artwork depicts the Australian group surrounded by a plethora of synths and electronic devices, setting the tone for their computerized compositions, while the two different editions of the album — one standard and one “extended” — cues listeners in as to what to expect.
The standard edition of the album features songs that are, well, more along the lines of what a “standard” pop song would be, with recognizable structures and choruses, and landing somewhere around the 3-minute mark. The “extended” edition, however, presents tracks that range from 10 to 20 minutes, and, as explained in the press release,...

It’s about time for a new King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard album. The psych rockers have announced their next project The Silver Cord, which is due out October 27th.
The Silver Cord arrives just a couple short months after King Gizz’s last album, the metal-leaning PetroDragonic Apocalypse. But this go around, the band say they’ll revert more towards the electronic influences explored on their pandemic-era album Butterfly 3000, citing classic disco and Kraftwerk as some of its influences.
“It’s definitely synth-y,” the group’s Joey Walker said of The Silver Cord. “You could draw comparisons in many ways, but just in the nature of us being in the same room and playing and writing together, it’s vastly different than Butterfly.”
The Silver Cord is seven tracks long, but according to an Instagram post, King Gizzard will also be issuing a version that includes “extended” versions of each tune.

In spite of how the show ended, Game of Thrones will forever be seen as the standard-bearer for the fantasy genre, for how globally renowned and beloved the series became. Game of Thrones was epic in many ways, from the scale of its world-building and the countless characters that were explored, to the massive battles, shocking twists, and persistent sense of dread that lingered throughout.
Very few fantasy series have come close to recapturing that epic feeling that Game of Thrones had, but there are some exceptions in the world of anime. Anime has the luxury of going overboard with its creativity, which naturally allows fantastical ideas to take on a life of their own in the most exaggerated ways. While there are plenty of fantasy anime that can't quite compare to Game of Thrones in how epic or grand they are, there are still some huge anime franchises that...

While some fantasy novels are begging for big-screen adaptations, there are many fantasy novels that deserve an anime series. TV and movies based on Fantasy novels have really taken off in the past few years. The vast majority of these adaptations have been done by American studios in live-action. Anime adaptations of popular Fantasy novels, on the other hand, are relatively uncharted territory barring a few outliers like the Deltora Quest anime series.
Like in the case of the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, these adaptations should be making the most of the stylistic and storytelling possibilities opened by being adapted into anime. Anime allows for these adaptations to avoid the pitfalls of cheap costumes and shoddy special effects. By embracing what anime makes possible, these novels could fully live up to their potential and lift the world of the page onto the screen with style.

Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp have just released their latest comic project, and it's breathtaking in its scope. The epic short Eden’s End manages to tell the secret history of man and superman in a mere fifteen pages.
Morrison launched a Substack newsletter at the beginning of 2022, where they have proceeded to provide annotations of their previous work in addition to running short comics and other projects. Morrison is now using the platform to launch their latest comics work with their Green Lantern collaborator Liam Sharp: a series of fifteen-page stories Morrison has dubbed “Hollywood pitch comics” in a densely-compressed format of square-shaped pages roughly the size of a 12” LP record. The series is called Xanaduum Presents, and Eden's End is the first installment: a sci-fi/fantasy parable about the origins of humanity itself.

Warning: Spoilers For Rabbit Hole Episode 8!The season 1 finale of Paramount Plus thriller Rabbit Hole brought the show to a predictably unpredictable conclusion. Rabbit Hole was inspired by the paranoid conspiracy thrillers of old such as Three Days of the Condor or The Parallax View, and it's the kind of show that excelled in pulling the rug out from viewers just as they felt they had a grip on the narrative. Rabbit Hole's season 1 finale "Ace in the Hole" was no different, and in addition to being a satisfying conclusion to the current story, it left some loose ends for a potential second season.
Watching Rabbit Hole's first seven episodes and summing up the story concisely is no mean feat but in broad strokes, it involved Kiefer Sutherland's corporate spy John Weir working with his mismatched team to expose a conspiracy to subvert American democracy. Weir worked...

Warning: Spoilers for Rabbit Hole season 1, episode 7!
Rabbit Hole finally answered questions that had been brewing all season in episode 7, from how far Hailey (Meta Golding) is willing to go for John (Kiefer Sutherland) to what really led to Valence's death. As the espionage thriller series hurtles towards the season 1 finale, John Weir's makeshift team is about to go head-to-head with his father Ben's (Charles Dance) seemingly all-powerful enemy, Crowley. But even as the show fights for Western democracy and the privacy of American citizens, it doesn't forget to check in on the smaller arcs for individual characters.
Hailey Winton was introduced in the premiere of Rabbit Hole as a lawyer from Pittsburgh who works for the Homeless Aid Network, but eventually, more layers of her backstory are unpeeled. Though John initially mistakes her for a spy sent to sabotage him, and perhaps even the mastermind behind his framing,...

Warning: Spoilers for Rabbit Hole season 1, episode 7!As Paramount Plus' fast-paced espionage thriller Rabbit Hole speeds towards the season 1 finale, all eyes are on Charles Dance's Dr. Ben Wilson and his inevitable confrontation with his mysterious enemy Crowley. Revealed to be John Weir's (Kiefer Sutherland) long-lost father early in the season, recent episodes have explored how he returned from faking his own death to train John and his best friend Miles Valence in the fight against Crowley.
Unlike Sutherland's previous series like 24 and Designated Survivor, however, Rabbit Hole heavily focuses on the way John's mind explores every angle of a situation. This leads him to have all-too-real (and potentially very dangerous) visions which he often cannot distinguish from reality. In one of these moments, suffering from the thought that his father may have betrayed Valence and been playing him ever since, John turns the gun on Ben and nearly kills him.

When watching most movie franchises or television series, viewers are likely to come across the Chosen One trope without fail because of its wild popularity throughout Hollywood and beyond, but does the plot device deserve all the hype? The Chosen One trope refers to a story arc in which the main character has been chosen, usually by some higher power, to save the entire world. Some popular examples include Anakin Skywalker, and Katniss Everdeen.
Learning how to spot the Chosen One trope is fairly easy when watching a film or TV show. The most significant aspect of a Chosen One character is if they have a mission that only they can complete and the results of this mission will single-handedly affect the rest of the character's world. For example, only Harry Potter could defeat Lord Voldemort and save the wizarding world because of the Horcrux the latter had placed in him unintentionally as a baby.

Released in Japan in the summer of 2009, Naruto Shippūden: The Will of Fire is finally arriving in the Us this week, due out on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, and Warner Bros. have launched the Us trailer ahead of its release.
The film sees Masahiko Murata (Gilgamesh) at the helm, with a script once more by Junki Takegami.
“Four ninjas with kekkei genkai who have been guarding the Hidden Villages of Cloud Stone Mist and Sand disappear from their respective villages. The Land of Fire comes under suspicion as it is the only country to have suffered no loss. Mounting suspicion among the four countries almost brings about a 4th Great Ninja War. In the Hidden Village of Leaf Tsunade orders her men to keep strict guard against War and to try to find out what really happened.”
