The Flash Will Mess You Up With Time Itself in Injustice 2

io9 - Mon, 04/10/2017 - 15:30

While the CW’s Barry Allen might have been forbidden from mucking with the time stream (because he’s a big ol’ dork), the Barry Allen of Injustice 2 is more than happy to use his superspeed to beat you up in the past, present, or future. And he looks pretty damn good while doing so.

Somehow, the Official Vehicle of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Is a Ford, and Not a Spaceship

io9 - Mon, 04/10/2017 - 14:30

Okay, so I know the reason why—because Ford has a new marketing deal with Marvel to promote its latest car through the medium of cosmic superheroes. But come on. If the Star-Lord’s ship the Milano could have feelings, it would be very hurt right now.

My Beautiful, Perfect Child Deleted My 40-Hour Persona 5 Save

Sense8 can be a very good show—it’s got unbridled optimism and a daring willingness to play with big ideas. It’s kind of like some really smart people got together and wrote a scifi show after ripping on a bong for 12 hours straight. But Sense8's big ideas sometimes get in the way of the gaggle of genuinely great…

io9 - Mon, 04/10/2017 - 12:52
