Avengers: Infinity War Bonus Material Reveals What Makes Thanos the MCU’s Greatest Villain
What makes Thanos the greatest villain in the MCU? You could argue it’s his power. Thanos was already formidable before he tracked down the six Infinity Stones—once he had them all, however, he appears to be virtually unstoppable. You could argue it’s not just his power, but his connection to nearly everything that has befallen the Avengers since they assembled in 2012’s game-changing first film. From Loki’s attack on New York in the first Avengers to Gamora’s attempted capture of Peter Quill in the first Guardians of the Galaxy,

You Are Not Ready for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwalds’ Baby Nifflers
However your Monday is going, it’s about to get much better.
The spellbinding 2016 introduction to the world of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts series came with a slew of creatures of all shapes and sizes. The Thunderbird Frank saved the wizarding world from discovery by No-Majs, and the capture of the Erumpent was truly a spectacle, but it was the platypus-like Niffler that stole the show.

First Images From Netflix’s new Series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Netflix‘s upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a far cry from Melissa Joan Hart’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which aired on ABC for seven seasons beginning in 1996. The reboot, starring Mad Men‘s Kiernan Shipka, adapts the Archie horror comic for our current age of Peak TV, which eschews feel-good messages for a much darker, rawer look at the source material.

The MCU has unveiled its massive cinematic in three distinct phases.
The Game of Thrones Ice Dragon Debate may Finally be Settled
Last season’s Game of Thrones brought us an almost absurd amount of drama and intrigue. The Stark Sisters increasing acrimony and the threat of Arya killing Sansa. Dany’s march on Westeros and all the complications involved. Cersei’s death grip on power in King’s Landing. The first use of Dany’s dragons against an army of Westeros in that epic “Spoils of War” episode. The absolutely insane plan to go north of the Wall and capture a wight.
Watch a Gag Reel & How Wakanda Forever Became Avengers: Infinity War‘s Mantra

The first trailer for their Slaughterhouse Rulez is here, and it’s a riot of Harry Potter (via the cliques that read, to us anyway, almost like the various houses within Howgarts) meets Stranger Things with a dash of School of Rock and even a pinch of Jurassic Park for good measure.
How They Shot That Epic Bathroom Fight Scene in Mission: Impossible — Fallout
Mission: Impossible — Fallout was chock full of jaw-dropping moments. It had Tom Cruise in a motorcycle chase, flying a helicopter, and most importantly, saving the world from nuclear destruction — a pretty big deal if you ask us. The hands down best action franchise in Hollywood (thanks in no small part to stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood) has been delivering the goods for 20 years. But while each fresh spectacle was something to behold,
