12 Monkeys Creator on the Big Finale Twists
Note: Full spoilers for the 12 Monkeys: Season 1 finale follow.
12 Monkeys: Season 1 Finale Review
A ton had changed by the end of 12 Monkey's season finale, as Cassie was sent to the future, Cole was trapped in his past (our present), Aaron was left for dead, Ramse was not left for dead and 12 mysterious, hooded characters made their presence known.
So what does it all mean and where is it all leading? I spoke to one of the show's executive producers, Travis Fickett, about all the big events that occurred and how it sets up Season 2.
Mark Ruffalo Hints at the Future of The Hulk
Audiences will see Mark Ruffalo's return as Bruce Banner/The Hulk when Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in theaters in just a few weeks. To date, we've only seen Ruffalo's version of the character in the context of the Avengers films, which has us wondering when we may get to see The Hulk spread his massive wings in a solo film. Or as an additional player in another Marvel movie, a la Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
IGN had the opportunity to speak with Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson about Avengers: Age of Ultron recently - stay tuned for more on that! During our conversation, we touched on what may be ahead for Hulk and Ruffalo teased what could be - for many fans - a dream come true.
Deadpool Has Reached Immortality
Given how much Marvel likes to promote these things in advance, it’s not much of a spoiler to say that Deadpool died in this week’s Deadpool #45, the 250th Deadpool issue ever published. The death itself wasn’t much to write home about, and neither is its impact on the Marvel Universe at large. That’s because his parting comes at a time when even if you kill him, he’s still very much alive.

Game of Thrones: 14 Great Magical Moments
Spoiler warning for the first five seasons of HBO's Game of Thrones follow...
With all the betrayals and backstabbings involved in the sick scramble to rule Westeros on Game of Thrones, it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that this is also a world filled with freakin' zombies, witches, ancient ice demons, and shapeshifting assassins! There are so many supernatural horrors hiding in the nooks and crannies of the realm of Ice and Fire that all the schemers, plotters, and wedding planners would probably poop their pantaloons if they ever knew the full, dark truth.
We're less than a week from Game of Thrones' Season 6 premiere, so what better time for an updated look back at all the mystical, monstrous moments from the first five years. So many dark nights filled with terrors. So many warnings of winter. It's time to look at the supernatural side of the story.
