Venom Co-Creator Would Have Made the Movie Scarier
IGN caught up with Venom co-creator Todd McFarlane at New York Comic Con on Saturday during which time he shared his thoughts on the new Venom movie with us.
When we asked how McFarlane -- who is gearing up to direct and produce a reboot of his comics character Spawn -- how he would've made the Venom movie -- which he saw at its L.A. premiere Monday -- differently, McFarlane responded with a chuckle: "Every movie I'd make R, what do you talking about? So, yeah, Venom, I would've made it a scary movie too right but then again, Mary Poppins I'd probably make a lot scarier than most people would make. ... I just have that bent in my head."

The 25 Best Arrowverse Episodes
The Arrowverse has enjoyed some amazing growth over the past six years. What started as one series about a hooded vigilante has ballooned into a massive shared universe that touches on nearly every corner of DC Comics lore. Between Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, the Arrowverse is now several hundred episodes deep and still going strong.
Let's take a look back and spotlight the very best of the best with our breakdown of the 25 greatest episodes from those four shows. Did your favorites make the cut? Read on!
One of the hallmarks of the Superman franchise is that both Clark and his cousin tend to have bad reactions when exposed to the many colored variations of Kryptonite. That was the basis of this Season 1 episode, as exposure to red Kryptonite brought out Kara's dark side. It's a lot of fun seeing Melissa Benoist take such an evil turn, but this episode mined its premise for drama as well as laughs. For a series that routinely struggled to find itself during its first year, this episode served as a welcome sign of what was possible.
Streaming Might Hurt Single-Player Games, But Survival Games Are Thriving
Online content creators are now, more than ever, the avenue through which many games are able to rise to success – or plummet to failure. Twitch streams and Let’s Plays on YouTube put thousands of new eyeballs on AAA and indie titles alike, serving as testing grounds for prospective new players as well as entertainment in their own right.
While some developers still fear that platforms like Twitch will hurt single-player games, one specific genre has demonstrated how to adapt and thrive in the age of Twitch streams and Let’s Plays: survival games.
Ever since the days of Minecraft, and later DayZ, survival games have found audiences on Twitch and YouTube. Games like Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved maintain steady presences on Twitch and YouTube years after release, and the genre isn’t slowing down either.
