The upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa might be the easiest movie in the franchise to access yet, not requiring any prerequisite viewings.
“In case you missed it, we highly recommend you go check out Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga this week. We’ve seen it, we loved it, we’ve been covering the crap out of it, and if you’re as excited as we were for it, we think you’ll be happy. One question that might come up in the next few days, though, is do you need to rewatch Mad Max: Fury Road before seeing Furiosa? The answer is 100% no. With Furiosa being set before the events of Fury Road, you don’t need to rewatch it to remember anything. You can just go in and enjoy.”
X-Men is once again in the public eye thanks to X-Men ’97 and Deadpool & Wolverine, but what are the best video games from this franchise? We’ve got you covered.
“You wouldn’t know it looking at Marvel’s video game output over the past decade or so, but the X-Men have a long and storied history in the medium. There are certainly some duds like The Uncanny X-Men on the NES from 1989, but by and large, the mutant team has been the star of some pretty important moments in Marvel’s interactive offerings.”
