For over twenty five years Blizzard has captivated millions of fans with its dedication to rich storytelling and its unwavering commitment to world building. With each new universe it creates, Blizzard forces us to ask one vital question, why should we care? And the answer almost always starts with its characters.
While there are way too many great Blizzard characters for us to give them all the recognition they deserve, but here are our picks for the Top 25 Best Blizzard characters.
The first Bad Moms managed to greatly exceed box office expectations last year, and despite its cookie-cutter premise and execution it turned out to still be an enjoyable time at the movies. Most of that was thanks to the strong chemistry between its three leads, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and a standout Kathryn Hahn, with the three women cast as the titular bad moms looking for some kind of escape from their chaotic daily routines. So it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that a sequel was fast-tracked, or that it’s been packaged as both a follow-up to the first and a Christmas-themed comedy.
For what it’s worth too, the film’s holiday setting does help to give it a slightly different energy than the first. But like many other sequels that have come before it, A Bad Moms Christmas makes the classic mistake of thinking the addition of several new characters and subplots is the same thing as building off of the first film’s story in any meaningful way. While those new additions come in the form of talented veteran stars like Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines, Susan Sarandon, and Peter Gallagher, the film’s decision to shift the focus away from the relationship of its original three women to their tattered bonds with their even worse mothers results in a disappointingly uneven and scattershot comedy.
Peter Parker just did the last thing you’d expect in his latest showdown with his old nemesis, J. Jonah Jameson.

This issue featured the two perennial enemies breaking bread together in Jameson’s apartment. In exchange for Jameson’s help in uncovering more information about his sister, Teresa, Spidey agreed to participate in an hour-long, no-holds-barred interview for Jameson’s blog. Needless to say, it didn’t go well for either party.
While Thor: Ragnarok may be a genre departure from the other Thor movies, leaning heavily on comedy, it’s not the only Marvel Cinematic Universe film trying something new. As Marvel Studios gears up for Avengers: Infinity War, the movie’s directors reveal that it will be different in tone than the previous Avengers installments.
While there is still a battle to fight and a villain–Thanos (Josh Brolin)–to defeat, first the Mad Titan, who will feature as one of the main characters in the film, has a job to do. “With Infinity War, the biggest new element to the movie is Thanos and the fact that he’s entering the storytelling in a very bold, strong way, to the degree that he’s almost one of the leads,” co-director Anthony Russo tells GameSpot sister site CNET. “We’ve shaped an interesting narrative around him that in some ways leans heavily on a heist film in the fact that he’s going after the Infinity Stones in a much bolder, successful way than he has in the past.”
Given that the Infinity Stones are scattered throughout the universe, it makes sense that they would have to be gathered before the Infinity Gauntlet Thanos is so fond of is complete. Thus far all but one of the stones–the soul stone–has appeared in a Marvel movie.
Showing Thanos jumping from planet to planet retrieving them will not only give him purpose but show his strength building, until finally confronting the Avengers. In a way, it’s similar to the first films in the MCU, as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) pieced together his team. The main difference, of course, is Thanos wants to rule over the universe.
Based on what the Russos are saying, there’s a good chance that could come to pass if the Avengers–and their new friends Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and whoever else happens to show up–don’t get their acts together. “The entire movie has that energy of the bad guy being one step ahead of the heroes,” Anthony says.
Avengers: Infinity War is in theaters on May 8, 2018.
Thor: Ragnaork is upon us, which means it’s time to update our accounting of what everyone else of note is up into the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the moment.
Consider this a refresher course on where your heroes (and a few villains) currently are, where we last left them, and where they might be going in the ever-evolving shared universe that is the MCU. From the Avengers (are they still together?) to Spider-Man (still not an Avenger!) to the Hulk and Thor (why’d they leave the Avengers again?), we break it all down for you in the following slideshow. And don’t worry — we won’t spoil the story of Thor: Ragnarok yet either. Check it all out here:
