7 d. ago First Steps to ruin: Is Marvel’s Fantastic Four finally about to let the bad guys win?

Is cosmic obliteration really what the future holds, as the latest trailer for the forthcoming First Steps appears to show?What if Thanos really had finger-snapped away half of all life in the universe and then kicked back on his scorched Titan homestead like a giant, purple Cincinnatus? What if Ultron had succeeded in uploading himself into the cloud, turning every smart fridge and Fitbit into a genocidal death bot? What if Loki had kept the Tesseract, conquered Earth, and turned Avengers Tower into a golden skyscraper shaped like his own smirking face?These are the Marvel sliding‑doors moments we are secretly relieved that we will never see – too bleak, too bonkers, or too off‑brand to survive outside the whiteboard of producer and Marvel boss Kevin Feige.

PS5; Sony/Kojima ProductionsThis is a mystifying and provocatively slow-paced game with more celebrities than you would find on a Cannes red carpetWhat is Death Stranding 2 trying to say? It’s a question you will ask yourself on many occasions during the second instalment of Hideo Kojima’s hypnotising, mystifying, and provocatively slow-paced cargo management simulator series. First, because during the many long and uneventful treks across its supernatural vision of Mexico and Australia, you have all the headspace in the world to ponder its small details and decipher the perplexing things you just witnessed. And second, because the question so often reveals something profound.That it can stand up to such extended contemplation is a marker of the fine craftsmanship that went into this game.
