This interview contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 1, titled "Winterfell." 

Since becoming the Three-Eyed Raven back in Season 6, it's safe to say that Bran Stark has been a little... off. Jon Snow learned that lesson the hard way when he emotionally greeted his little brother in the Game of Thrones Season 8 premiere, only to be met with the detached stare of an omniscient greenseer.

Game of Thrones star Isaac Hempstead Wright explained Bran's feelings for his family - or lack thereof - in a recent Q&A hosted by Hulu and moderated by IGN's own Terri Schwartz.

Today we continue our look at each of the founding MCU Avengers and how their stories have led them to their final confrontation with Thanos. Next up is the God of Thunder, Thor, and his journey to Avengers: Endgame.

Avengers: Endgame marks the end of an era for the MCU. With contractual obligations for some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes ending after The Infinity Saga’s finale, a few of them are expected to be killed off or retired once the credits have rolled.

Thor Odinson is one of that number. The God of Thunder may not have been as popular as some of the other heroes in the beginning, such as Iron Man and Captain America, but his growth as a character has been one of the strongest across the MCU’s run to date.

Thanos has won. At least, that’s the situation at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. With just a snap of his fingers, he’s wiped out 50% of all living creatures in the universe, including more than a handful of Earth’s mightiest heroes. With that kind of power, how can anyone possibly defeat him?

Well, apparently it’s not all that difficult. Thanos has been messing up the Marvel comics universe since 1973, and while he’s had his fair share of victories, he’s rarely come out on top. With Avengers: Endgame about to show us how the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Avengers defeat the Mad Titan, we thought we’d take a look at some of Thanos’ greatest schemes from the comics, and how the heroes thwarted him. Perhaps in those colourful pages there are even a few hints as to how the Avengers may end the Decimation ordeal in Endgame?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest DLC character, Joker from Persona 5, is freezing player's Nintendo Switches when they use his Final Smash to end a Classic Mode match.

This issue was confirmed by IGN's own Zachary Ryan, as his Switch froze three times when finishing a Classic Mode match with Joker's Final Smash. There are also many other examples, including a Reddit thread posted by CubingVainGlory, that show the freeze happening.

It appears this glitch is only occurring in Classic Mode and only with Joker, and does not appear to impact any other aspect of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as of this writing.
