X-Men 97 is robbing us all of the cake, well, maybe, at least that is what the trailer is telling us. Marvel is also looking to dump Kang and his council, while DC is not printing money and is avoiding a Batman Beyond movie. How the could fumble the bag that much is beyond me. Also XBOX clarifies its future, and dumped water all of the nonsense fires that were burning on twitter. Nintendo dropped a direct, and with it the return of one of the best Star Wars games :Star Wars Battlefront II from 2005! That and more come take a listen.

This week continues the not E3 news, like and overview of Overwatch 2, and news about the Final Fantasy VII Remake part 2. Activision investigates itself, and also cancels a guaranteed blockbuster. Is a Jon Snow spinoff really necessary at HBO? Because HBO thinks so. Obi-Wan Kenobi ends in a perfect way. Meanwhile Sony is continuing to push its Non Spidey, Spidey Films, Top Gun Maverick is TC's best preforming movie, and Buzz lightyear fails to draw a crowd.

Streaming is coming out on top once again, and Disney+ has updated for its MCU shows. We finally have an idea about what Amazons LotR show will be focused on and the CW passes on an Arrowverse Spinoff. We also get confirmation about the future of Deadpool 3, as well as the future of the MCU. Also Martian Manhunter will be in the Snyder Cut and Ray Fisher isnt backing down.
