When The Last Airbender was first released, nobody really knew what to expect. Some were skeptical about an “American anime” cartoon, while others thought the time had finally come. The show was a huge success, and the popularity of Aang and Team Avatar prompted a whole new series to continue telling stories in the Avatar’s world. The Legend of Korra had a legacy to continue, one that included memorable characters and thrilling adventures....

Tickets for Avengers: Endgame are being sold on eBay, and some sellers are actually asking thousands of dollars. Coming one year after the universe-shattering Avengers: Infinity War, Endgame promises to raise the stakes even higher, resulting in the biggest and most epic Marvel movie of all. It may seem impossible that the Russo Brothers could actually top Infinity War for pure spectacle, but the three-hour running time of Endgame seems to indicate that they’ve done just that....

There was a lot riding on Avengers: Infinity War. Following a decade of build-up, the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally brought all of its characters together (well, most of them; Hawkeye and Ant-Man were curiously absent, but hardly missed) and introduced the threat of Thanos six years after he was originally teased in The Avengers’ mid-credits scene. Against all odds, the Russo brothers’ superhero-infested epic managed to satisfy fans across the world — which was particularly impressive following the disappointment of Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron — but it wasn’t without its flaws....

DC Comics will revisit one of the most chilling confrontations in comics history in Batgirl #47, featuring the Joker and Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl. The official preview offers a glimpse at a scene that will be familiar and terrifying to longtime followers of the Bat-Family of characters. The cover deliberately references one of the iconic stories in Batman lore, promising “devastating” consequences for all involved. The preview for Batgirl #47 alludes to The Killing Joke, a one-shot graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland, first published in 1988 and adapted to an animated film in 2016, routinely mentioned as one of the most influential Batman stories of all time....

As the most controversial comic book movie in history, the debates over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice rage on even years later. The online discussion divided audiences into either loving or hating Zack Snyder’s take on DC’s heroes, instead of discussing it as fans–a problem the Batman v Superman: By The Minute Podcast hopes to change. The questions posed by the movie itself–What does “the American Way” mean today? When does a hero become a villain?...

Apple says that Pages, Numbers and Keynote all had “an issue that prevented proper navigation and editing with VoiceOver,” while Pages also blurred text when turning on Speak Screen on some iOS devices.

It was reported last week that Apple is working to turn the iPhone into a “one-stop shop” for medical record data and now a new report from CNBC offers up a bit more detail on those efforts. The report explains that Apple’s health team has been working with Health Gorilla, a small startup in the health industry. Health Gorilla and Apple are reportedly working together to add diagnostic data to the iPhone, including measurements such as blood work....

An earlier prediction by KGI’s Mingchi Kuo that the iPhone 5C would go on sale in China by the first week in October has been contradicted by a report in First Financial Daily claiming that the approvals process needed would push the launch date back by almost two months, to 28th November … All reports seem to confirm that the Chinese version of the handset will support the local TDD-LTE version of 4G....

Archer has gone to some pretty strange places before, including inside the body of a comatose Russian defector for a brilliant two-part Fantastic Voyage send-up. Last season, Archer ditched its familiar international espionage milieu and headed to Los Angeles for a Magnum PI-inspired storyline that ended with Sterling floating apparently dead in a pool a la William Holden in Sunset Blvd. References are indeed a big thing on Archer. As it turns out, that film noir ending for Season 7 wasn’t just some random whim, but a teaser for Season 8....

From ARM 1 to ARM Cortex A15 ARM is a 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) developed by ARM Holdings. It was first named Acorn RISC Machine, having their first product released in 1985 as ARM 1. The fact that ARM processors have quite simplistic designs made them ideal for low power applications, making ARM one of the dominant forces in both mobile and electronics market. What you should know is that ARM only provides the technological know-how and it is their partner, Qualcomm or Texas Instruments that actually produce the chips....

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Mr. Universe winner Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, both literally and figuratively. While he may not be a Brando or a Pacino, he certainly had the showmanship and charisma to carry his roles. Of course, being a bodybuilding god and symbol of masculinity back then, he mostly starred in explosive action movies. His roles in the genre depict the quintessential cinema macho man....

Changes are coming to AT&T’s Next program starting in June. AT&T Next, the company’s monthly payment program for buying smartphones and tablets, is shifting from four options to two options and adding ways to lower the monthly payment. AT&T first launched Next as an alternative to two-year contracts back in 2013 with a single plan to pay for new hardware over 20 months with an option to upgrade after 12 months, then later added other options including Next 18 and Next 24 with lower monthly payments and longer upgrade cycles....

Avatar: The Last Airbender is a beloved example of the traditional heroes journey. The reluctant Aang must enter a wide world of danger and challenges to fulfill his destiny and defeat a great evil. It’s standard literary tropes that have been around since ancient myth, and that can be found in the best fantasy, from Star Wars to The Hobbit. Another series that follows this route is Harry Potter. Comparing the two, they share much of the same storytelling DNA with each other and the best hero based stories....

Avengers: Endgame poignantly concluded the first 11 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but it also specifically improved Avengers: Age of Ultron. Joe and Anthony Russo’s $2-billion blockbuster (and counting) specifically included a time travel adventure to The Avengers, when three Infinity Stones were simultaneously in New York City, but several moments in Endgame also highlighted - and enhanced - Joss Whedon’s 2015 sequel. Avengers: Age of Ultron usually ranks low among many fans’ favorite Avengers films, but it has been a very important building block for MCU Phase 3....

We are deep into Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise, with only a handful of episodes remaining before the couples choose to stay together or split up. With that said, we thought it’d be a good time to look at the contestants that are left and decide who deserves to find love in Mexico and who needs to move on. First off, it’s important to note that we want everyone from the show to find love in real life....
