Some fans have identified in episode 6 of Stranger Things 4 a similarity with the beloved animated series Scooby-Doo!

Welcome to the Stranger Things meta-universe where the prefix “meta” takes on the original meaning of the Greek tradition as “together” or “in-between”. If we put aside for a moment the narrative aspects with its protagonists and the unfolding of the events, as well as the parallel dimension of the Upside Down and Eleven’s attempt to defeat evil together with his friends, the most original and interesting structure of the TV series emerges. conceived by the Duffer Brothers. 

Stranger Things is the incarnation of seriality that dusts off the culture of the Eighties like an old treasure hidden in the attic. There are music, fashions, furnishings, slang and atmospheres that return, but what recurs cyclically and predominantly is cinema. In particular, the tributes to the seventh art occur thanks to the metacinematographic practice. Here then is the explanation of the term “meta” at the beginning of the text. 

We are in the meta-universe to mean a cinema that returns, intertwines, is confused, hides and reveals itself. The meta cinema mentions paying homage and reworks the past together with the present and Stranger Things, born in 2016 and still in production today, is the godmother of this form of seriality.


Stranger Things 4: Scooby-Doo where are you? In the episode of Netflix’s most loved series!

The success of Stranger Things lies in attracting audiences from multiple generations. In some ways, the viewer’s taste for the plot is overshadowed and becomes a challenge for fans who want to recognize and see the era in which they lived or in which they wanted to be born come back to life. 

Repetitiveness and variation of the identical are the constitutive principles of the saga. In the Stranger Things audience, a sort of fetishism is established that wants to scrutinize every single detail to bring to the surface, from the metaverse of ST to reality, for example, the easter eggs, the gifts and the unspoken things.

Some fans have identified episode 6 of Stranger Things 4 as an episode of the entertaining animated series Scooby-Doo. On the other hand Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby turn in the Mystery Machine van in search of mysteries to solve and ghosts or supernatural entities to unmask similarly to the mission of Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will and Undi who must defeat the monstrous creatures that they inhabit the Upside Down and threaten the town of Hawkins.

In particular, in the Scooby-Doo scene (which you can see below) the protagonists are on a boat in the middle of an interdimensional sea. Shaggy screams frightened: “We are adrift between universes, guys, life is complete upside down” and Velma agrees with her usual composure: “Upside down”. After that, Fred puts his head underwater and notices the presence of an interdimensional gate, so he shows it to the others and Daphne explains that it is the Fourth Gate. 

The characters then decide to dive into the water to reach the portal and, once crossed, we see their heads emerge from the water, from top to bottom, basically with the shot upside down vertically. If you haven’t missed episode 6 of Stranger Things 4, you will confirm the great similarity between the two sequences.

The Sandman: the explanation of the ending of the Netflix TV series

The Sandman

SPOILER ALERT! What happens at the ending of The Sandman? The explanation of the Netflix TV series.

The Sandman is a complex story, layered in its multitude of references, pigeonholing itself into a composite narrative universe that is born and develops like a dream within a dream, enclosing itself in a vortex of parallel stories and events that influence others.

Although the series follows the fil rouge of comics, not deviating from it particularly and maintaining consequential linearity that allows, despite there are parallel stories that intersect in the macro-history centered on the figure of Sandman, to understand the incessant diegetic flow that characterizes the television series produced by Warner Bros. and Netflix, as well as the original comic book born from the pen of Neil Gaiman.


Specifically, the TV series shows itself in its glossy essence of lyrical dreaminess, inevitably approaching the tables of American comics without ever trespassing, however, in the banal reduction and transposition of these, imposing its own stylistic autonomy through an adaptive and enunciative staging. 

This, in particular, combined with Gaiman’s tendency to rely on stylistic metaphors, symbolisms and metonymies, could step too far into the unspoken, bringing together in the last part many plot elements mentioned in the 10 episodes and which will unfold in the second season, of which the writing of the script has already been announced.


The Sandman – The end of the beginning

The last episode of the first season of The Sandman presents itself as a focal point of convergence between characters, stories, and events that lead to an apparent diegetic hiatus at the end of the episode, a prelude to future events based on past ones.

Rose Walker, the young girl in search of her little brother Jed, is none other than what is defined by Morpheus and Lucienne as the Vortex, a human being of immeasurable power able to attract the dreams of other individuals to himself and to be able to cross over into Realm of Dreams, risking to collapse the real world and the dream world, destroying both.


Her potential, which has already emerged in the last four episodes of the series, intensifies more and more, risking compromising her size in order to try to save and protect her brother. Corinthian, in turn in search of Rose in order to exploit her powers to overwhelm Morpheus, is annihilated by the latter: the King of Dreams has the power to end the life of the beings he himself created. Corinthian is certainly one of the most powerful Nightmares, but nothing can be done against an Eternal.

Only with the death of the Vortex, and therefore of Rose, is it possible to restore the balance between the World of Dreams and the World of Waking.

Gilbert, the Dream that represents the Sailors’ Paradise, assumes as a hypothesis that the existence of vortices, of which Morpheus himself seems to ignore the reason, could be a warning to the inhabitants of the Dream Realm to remind him that their existence derives from the ability of human beings to dream them and not the other way around.


But where did Rose’s powers come from in the Netflix series The Sandman?

The question that many have sought an answer to is solved in the last episode: Rose, we knew, is the great-granddaughter of Unity, the little girl we see in the first episode falling asleep irremediably due to the sleeping sickness caused by the loss of the powers of Morpheus, deprived of his amulets from Burgess. 

Unity awoke from the long coma caused by what has been called lethargic encephalitis, to discover that she had a daughter during her sleep, in which she dreamed of having met a charming golden-eyed man with whom she had built a beautiful family. . These others are none other than Desiderio, one of the Eternals, brother of Morpheus and twin of Despair, who hatched a plan to try to annihilate the King of Dreams: it was he who made Burgess’s summoning rite fail, evoking Morpheus instead of his sister Death, thus depriving him of his amulets and his power for decades. His imprisonment led to the apparent death of millions of people, including Unity: she should have been the real Vortex of this era, not Rose. 

Taking advantage of her coma, Desiderio impregnated the woman, to make sure that her power was passed down to Rose, who could potentially destroy the two Kingdoms causing them to collapse between them. Morpheus would have been forced to kill her, but this would have led to consequences since Rose would have been in effect a blood relative of her: the Eternals cannot harm their direct progeny or blood relatives.

Unity decides to sacrifice herself in Rose’s place once, thanks to the mediation of Lucienne, she understands that she herself is the true Vortex of this era, letting herself be delivered in the shared dream the oneiric realization of her power.

In this way Morpheus can kill the holder of the Vortex, that is, Unity, not a blood relative of his.

During a recent interview, Chad Stahelski revealed important information regarding the new chapter of the much-appreciated action franchise.

John Wick needs no introduction anymore: the character first appeared at the cinema in 2014, starting a successful action saga starring Keanu Reeves (Matrix, Constantine). Specifically, the well-known actor embodies an old retired killer who returns to the scene after some criminals, involuntarily, kill his dog, the last gift of his wife who disappeared due to cancer. 

This starts an unprecedented carnage that continues in the next two chapters, released respectively in 2017 and 2019. Finally, after a long wait, we will have the opportunity to observe a new adventure of the bloodthirsty killer.


John Wick 4 arrives in cinemas in March 2023

At present, John Wick 4 is finished (at least in terms of filming) and we just have to wait for new information about the film. Recently, director Chad Stahelski, during an interview with Collider for the presentation of the new Netflix Day Shift title (Stahelski is the producer of the project), the filmmaker unveiled the actual duration of the title which is not too far from the minutes of the previous ones. 

feature films, but which will actually last longer. Taking into account that the third film had a duration of 131 minutes, it is reasonable to think that this time we arrive at two and a half hours. Below are the specific words of the author.

It is longer than the other three, but not that long. We are on the last stretch for the image block and then we have our VFX music. But this is the furthest I’ve ever seen, so much in post. We love the music we have so far. We still have Tyler Bates composing some of the larger sequences. 

The visual effects will arrive for the rest of the year. But we are dangerously close. In our edit, as far as the image block is concerned, we are just a few minutes away from the block. Our sequences are over. The film is basically finished. There are probably still a few weeks of retouching in general, then we close the image and take care of the sound of the music and the effects.

We remind you that John Wick 4 is produced by 87Eleven Entertainment, Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment and Thunder Road Pictures with a screenplay written by Michael Finch and Shay Hatten. The cast, on the other hand, sees the involvement, as well as Reeves, of Donnie Yen in the part of Caine, Laurence Fishburne who plays the Bowery King, Hiroyuki Sanada who lends the face to Shimazu, Lance Reddick (Charon), Ian McShane (Winston) and many more. The film arrives in Italian cinemas precisely on March 23, 2023.

Black Adam: Dwayne Johnson Movie Has New Post-Credit Scene! [RUMOURS]

Black Adam

After the cancellation of Batgirl, Warner would have decided to insert a new and mysterious post-credit scene in Black Adam!

Black Adam is ready to debut on October 20 in cinemas. Although the film’s release in cinemas is now imminent, director Jaume Collet-Serra had to return to the control room to make some changes to the final editing, or rather to make some additional shots. A practice – if we can call it that – is very common, especially with regard to films that feature both Marvel and DC superheroes. The question, however, is only one and arouses a lot of curiosity: why were additional shots taken? According to some rumors, the “blame” would be attributed to a new post-credit scene!


Black Adam and the new post-credit scene

In the most recent screenings of Black Adam, used as a test for potential audience appreciation, a new post-credit scene appeared at the end of the film. The sequence in question “will introduce a new element relating to Dwayne Johnson’s place in the DC Universe,” a source reported. For now, no further details have been revealed, but fans have already gone wild in speculating a return of Henry Cavill as Superman or a connection with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.


The synopsis of Black Adam:

In Ancient Egypt, a man is enslaved and killed by the leaders of the people. Thanks to the power of the wizard Shazam, he is brought back to life and gains strength, agility, and flight skills. His immense power of him does not correspond, however, to a pure heart. He will have to compare himself with the superheroes of our contemporaneity to understand that only noble intentions, and a remarkable capacity for sacrifice, associated with great power form a true hero.

Scream 6, Neve Campbell tackles the burning issue of wages: "If I were a man they wouldn't have offered me that amount"


After 25 years in the horror franchise, Neve Campbell will not be returning to Scream 6. The reason is the salary, which is considered too low.

“If I were a man, they would never have offered me that amount.” With these words, Neve Campbell explains why he will not be in Scream 6, after 25 years in the famous horror franchise with large numbers. The absence of the actress is certainly not new, the news of her forfeit to the saga was given in June, a bolt from the blue for fans of the slasher franchise created by Wes Craven.

Therefore, there is no Sidney Prescott for the expected sixth chapter, and the reason is a question of money. In a recent statement, the actress specified that she believes that the offer she received to star in the horror film would have been different if she had been a man.


Neve Campbell will not be returning to the franchise for Scream 6. The reason is the low salary

Already last June, Neve Campbell said that the offer she received to participate in the sixth installment of the saga “is not adequate for the value it brings to the franchise” and so she has decided to refuse it. “As a woman, I have had to work very hard in my career to establish my worth, especially regarding Scream. The offer that was presented to me to return did not equal my value, what I brought to the franchise. It was a very difficult decision to move forward. “

Later, the actress added that she doesn’t think the offer would have been that low if she had been a man: “Honestly, I don’t think if I was a guy who had done five installments on a successful franchise in 25 years, I would have been offered that number. I knew deep down that I couldn’t accept it. I couldn’t go to the set feeling like this, undervalued, and feeling the injustice (or lack of justice) of this. “

Campbell thanked the fans for their support and received the endorsement of Jasmin Savoy Brown, one of the new additions to the Scream franchise: “I respect her so much for doing it. I think it’s hard to be a woman in this industry and in any industry, really. If a person, especially a woman, feels she deserves better, whether it’s the job position, the abandonment of a relationship, or the filling of a void, I fully support it. “

The long-awaited Scream 6 will see the return of only one of the longest-running actresses in the saga: Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers (pictured here in the first photos from the set). The sequel, directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, will also see the return of Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed. Its release is scheduled for March 31, 2023.

Who will be the villain of Captain America: New World Order? we leave you 5 possibilities for the film

Image Credit: Marvel Studios

The Hall H panel of Marvel Studios at San Diego Comic-Con left us with many titles and news that will arrive in the future of the MCU. One of the upcoming films will star Sam Wilson’s new Captain America, a character whose transformation we could already see in the Disney Plus series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The tape will let us see an already established and renewed Captain America with his shield and his classic white, red and blue suit with wings, but we still don’t know anything about the possible villain or villain of the film.


5 possible villains of Captain America: New World Order

5. The Agent of Power (Sharon Carter)

In the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, the fate of Sam Wilson is not the only one that hits a complete turn, and it is that, as the series reveals in its final episode, Sharon Carter has become known as Agent of Power, the person who was secretly making things difficult for them throughout the series.

Fleeing the United States after helping Steve Rogers’ Captain America in Civil War, she took refuge in the crime town of Madripoor, where she amassed great fortune and power and earned this rank. The Agent of Power could make things very difficult for Captain America, whether she’s the main antagonist or she’s in the background.


4. Supreme Hydra (Steve Rogers)

The one known as Hydra Supreme is a version of Steve Rogers from another Earth in which he was a Hydra sleeper agent. Yes, it is true that the history of Steve Rogers in the MCU seems to have completely concluded and it seems that at the moment Chris Evans does not plan to return to Marvel Studios. However, we are in what is already known as the Saga of the Multiverse, and in a multiverse everything is possible, so imagining the possibility of seeing Chris Evans by surprise as Supreme Hydra would not be as far-fetched as it would have seemed two or three years ago.


3. Red Skull

The character’s story also seemed to have come to an end after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, but Marvel Studios always knows how to catch us off guard and keep a trick up their sleeve. Many fans were absolutely shocked when they heard the Red Skull’s voice in Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos and Gamora were on their way to collect the Mind Stone.

Red Skull was not dead, rather a bit of a space party acting as a protector of the mind stone, and he keeps all the memories of his confrontation with Cap. Now that the gem is gone, will he decide to return to Earth with the help of some alien technology?


2. Baron Zemo

In the UCM, this character has the important title of being one of the few characters to defeat the Avengers, a title that only he and Thanos hold at the moment, so it’s no small thing. Zemo has been one of the most damaging villains to Earth’s heroes and also one of the smartest overall.

We got to see him cooperating with Sam and Bucky in Falcon and the Winter Soldier and he was eventually apprehended by the Dora Milaje, the Wakandan Guardians who wanted him for assassinating their king in Civil War. Escaping Wakanda alone can be tricky, but maybe the next spot on the list will help him with that.


1. The Thunderbolts

The premiere of Captain America: New World Order is scheduled for May 3, 2024, a curious date if we consider that less than 3 months later the Thunderbolts movie will be released. The connection between this group of villains and antiheroes with Cap is quite great, especially if we see how it has begun to form little by little in Falcon and the Winter Soldier with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine recruiting US Agent.

A first appearance of the team in the Cap movie would leave the events fully prepared for the Thunderbolts movie, the government-controlled team that supplants the Avengers, something that would really mean a New World Order for the MCU.

Salaar Makers Planning Movie climax similar to Vikram climax

Salaar

Salaar: We all know how much hype the young rebel star Prabhas‘ movie Salaar has already created. As this movie is being directed by the director of KGF films, Prashant Neel, the expectations of this movie have increased immensely. Prashanth Neel is also directing this movie as his own brand of action entertainer, so everyone is curious about how this movie is going to be.

But recently, news regarding this movie is doing the rounds in the industry circles. Prabhas is seen in the avatar of Ooramas and this movie seems to be following ‘Vikram’ which was a super success at the box office recently. Star hero Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram’s film was directed by director Lokesh Kanagaraj and this film rocked the box office. 

And the thing that took this movie to another level is definitely the climax of this movie. Tamil star hero Suriya’s portrayal of Rolex in the climax of this movie is amazing. And now director Prashant Neel is planning for a similar climax Salaar. It seems that KGF’s Rakhi Bhai is going to do a cameo role in this movie. 

The news that Salaar is going to be a sequel to KGF is already heard in the film circles… Rocking star Yash is still seen in Rakhi Bhai’s look… The news that the KGF hero is really going to have a special entry in Salaar is getting stronger. And to know whether Salar is really following the path of Vikram, we have to wait till the release of this movie. Shruti Haasan is playing the heroine in this movie.
