Year: 2024

Update: Following the publishing and removal of George R.R. Martin’s blog post, which is discussed below, HBO responded in a statement to Variety. It reads: “There are few greater fans of George R.R. Martin and his book Fire & Blood than the creative team on House of the Dragon, both in production and at HBO. Commonly, when adapting a book for the screen, with its own format and limitations, the showrunner ultimately is required to make difficult choices about the characters and stories the audience will follow. We believe that Ryan Condal and his team have done an extraordinary job and the millions of fans the series has amassed over the first two seasons will continue to enjoy it.”In a recent blog post, George R.R. Martin voiced serious concerns about the latest season of HBO’s House of the Dragon. The author, who created the Fire & Blood series from which the show is adapted, sharply criticized the decision to exclude the character Maelor, a crucial figure in the book.Martin’s post, which appears to have since been removed, expressed his dissatisfaction with changes introduced in the opening episodes of the second season.

    • There were a lot of Marvel cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine, including one from a 20th Century Fox X-Men spin-off that was never actually made. Regardless, Ryan Reynolds has shared a deleted scene featuring the character in question that suggests he could resurface again down the line.One of the characters encountered by Deadpool (Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in the Void at the end of time is Channing Tatum’s Gambit.

In the film, the fate of Gambit and a few other heroic allies was left ambiguous, as only Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keen) was seen again. But in the scene below, Gambit is clearly alive after the battle with Cassandra Nova’s army of villains.

But stay tuned!”This wasn’t the only time Metal Gear Solid 4 was teased. Earlier last year, David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake, posted a photo of themselves next to Old Snake.

It’s a solid alternative to some other, tougher-to-get trace rifles, like the Rise of Nightmare raid’s Acasia’s Dejection. The Chronophage god roll is especially good in PvE, with a few perks that are great for synergistic Void builds to keep you shielded and happy as you zap your way through hordes of opponents.Table of Contents [hide]
