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.

Well, well well, it looks like Nintendo is the juggernaut that everyone expected, while you might be able to get a switch, despite its massive sales, good luck finding a PS5. Some 80s icons are coming to Warzone, if official tweets are to be believed. Ubisoft makes some strange decisions. CSI is returning to screens this fall, while the Golden Globes is being forced out. Paramount Plus wants to be like HBO Max and bring movies home to you, Venom 2 looks boring as hell, and dont expect Drax to hang out forever.

activision, amazon prime video, anime, arrowverse, arsenio hall, avatar, avengers endgame, barry allen, batman, bethesda, bethesda softworks, black widow, blizzard, cancel culture, coming 2 america, crystal dynamics, culture wars, darkseid, dcue, diablo 2, disney+, doom, dr. seuss, dumbo, ea sports, eddie murphy, fallout, fifa ultimate team, games as a service, godzilla, grand theft auto v, gta, gtav, harry potter, hbo max, hogwarts legacy, indiana jones, lola bunny, marvels avengers, mcu, microsoft, microsoft xbox, movies, netflix, nintendo, paramount+, patrick star, pc gaming, pepe le pew, peter pan, playstation, playstation 5, powerpuff girls', ps5, razer, rockstar, rust, skyrim, snyder cut, sony, sony playstation, space jam, spongebob, square enix, star trek, steam, stephen king, steven spielberg, super mario, super nintendo world, taketwo interactive, the cw, the duffer bros, the elder scrolls, the flash, tmnt, tv shows, universal studios, v1 interactive, valve, video games, wandavision, wb interactive, wolfenstein, xbox, xbox game pass, xbox one, xbox series, xbox series s, xbox series x, zenimax media
The Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda is complete, so what does that mean for the future? Marvels avengers is not helping its case, and is heading down the Anthem path. WandaVision had an underwhelming finale, and the Flash is setting up things to come. While the Powerpuff girls are headed to the CW. Star Trek once again teases its film future. Amazon boasts that Coming 2 America had the best streaming debut, even though the movie was very mediocre. Meanwhile Disney+ and Space Jam cause a bit of a row, and Nick takes on the culture war.
