Warning! This article contains spoilers for Loki season 2 episode 2 . If you've yet to tune in and don't want to know anything that happens, turn back now!
Now that Loki's time-slipping has stopped thanks to Mobius and O.B., the God of Mischief finds himself on a new mission in Loki season 2 episode 2: catching up to Sylvie before the TVA does.
Their reunion, which takes place in a McDonald's no less, sees the Loki variant insist that she's happy in her new life in Broxton, Oklahoma, 1987. Though a blink-and-you'll miss it moment right at the end of the episode suggests that might not be entirely true...
In the final few seconds, Sylvie's colleague Jack meekly asks her whether she'll be in tomorrow, to which she assures him she will. As he walks off, the camera pans into Sylvie sitting on the hood of her truck, and it becomes clear she's fiddling with something in her fingers. Well, turns out said something is He Who Remain's time-twisting bangle, which is essentially a super powerful device that combines the qualities of a TemPad and a Time Twister. In Loki lore, a TemPad allows its user to create timeline-crossing Portal Doors, while a Time Twister grants the ability to teleport. The latter is often used by the TVA in conjunction with a special necklace called a Time Collar to restrain captives when necessary.
"She's still a Loki. If she's got the keys to the universe, the keys to the multiverse, she's not gonna give that up," director Dan Deleeuw explains to GamesRadar+. "I think she truly was happy on the timeline; I don't know how much manipulation has been going on behind the scenes, but... yeah...
"I think she always suspected this might come back, and I think that ties in with a lot of the reaction to Loki in the McDonald's as well. She knew she was on borrowed time, I think, and kept it because she knew, eventually, Loki would show or some other Loki would show up, some other variant of He Who Remains or something like that, that she'd have to ultimately deal with."
"So basically, it's meant to be a futuristic version of the TVA tech," season 1 director Kate Herron previously explained to The Hollywood Reporter, when asked about He Who Remain's eye-catching jewelry. "So that was the fun idea of it. When He Who Remains tells his story about his other variants meeting, you see bits of the TVA technology. So our idea was that it does both things.
"With the TVA technology, you see that the Time Twister hooks into the TemPad, but it's these two separate, clunky things. But whereas with He Who Remains, he has more advanced technology than the TVA So it has both functions, basically, which we see him use. The difference is that he's in control of the twist; it's twisting him. Whereas when we

The Our Flag Means Death season 2 finale leaves our merry crew in a nice spot: Sure, there’s some British Navy to hunt, but that’s an evergreen truth for pirates everywhere. And in the meantime, Lucius (Nathan Foad) and Black Pete (Matthew Maher) got married, with Zheng (Ruibo Qian) and the crew sailing off into the sunset looking content (and surprisingly functional, all things considered). Izzy (Con O’Neill) dies [sob] but does get to finally share a sweet moment with Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). Stede (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard stay behind, excitedly settling into their new home together just nearby where they buried Izzy. It’s all very tender and warm-hearted, complete with Ed and Stede running towards each other on the beach for their reunion and confession of love.

Early on in Martin Scorsese’s historical drama Killers of the Flower Moon, there’s a quiet moment between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the woman he will eventually marry, Osage heiress Molly (Lily Gladstone). The absorbing way Scorsese stages the drama makes it clear that this relationship will not end well, but the soundtrack is strangely twinkling, as if this were the start of a grand romance. Then the lyrics kicked in:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature what is likely the most well-known event of the original, and of JRPGs in general, and it sounds like it will be surprising even for those who played the original.
Very few video games have truly changed the way we play. The likes of Half-Life, World of Warcraft, and Fortnite are once-in-a-generation shifts. October 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of one of those seismic games: the original Call of Duty. What began as an attempt to beat Medal of Honor at its own game turned into a monolithic franchise with over 400 million sales across 30 different games. It was a significant turning point for both FPS campaign design and online multiplayer, ushering in an era of cinematic set pieces and ladder-based progression. Call of Duty was, undoubtedly, the FPS that changed shooters forever.

Today — Friday, Oct. 20 — two wildly clashing and yet somehow complementary works from creators at the top of their game, both sitting right at the intersection of art and commerce, arrive at the same time. It’s Barbenheimer all over again, but this time it’s just for me. Today, we are blessed with both Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
When Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, and screenwriter Eric Roth first set about adapting David Grann’s penetrating nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon, about the wholesale murder of the oil-rich Osage tribe in Oklahoma in the 1920s, the idea was that DiCaprio would play the hero. His original role: Tom White, a former Texas Ranger and investigator for the then-nascent FBI who brought some of those responsible to justice, including local cattle baron William King Hale and his nephew, Ernest Burkhart.
