It’s a good week for sequels.

Two much-anticipated sequels dropped this week, and both Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and God of War Ragnarök thankfully lived up to the hype. Elsewhere, you can experience five decades of gaming history in Atari 50, check out Netflix’s latest attempt at a trivia game, or watch the extremely fun second season of Warrior Nun. And if you’re all caught up on Andor, we have stories about its storytelling and production design to hold you over until the next episode drops.

“It’s coming soon, hopefully.”

The smash hit card game Marvel Snap is getting an important new feature: the ability to play with friends.

“We are very eager to have some form of friendly match or friendly battle where you can play against your friend or someone streaming,” associate design director Kent-Erik Hagman told The Verge’s Ash Parrish in a recent interview. “It’s coming soon, hopefully.”

The MCU continues to mine the liminal space between memes and canon.

The character Wonder Man in Marvel’s comics was the source of the brain patterns used to build the android Vision.

Separately, the TV show Wandavision provided the source material for endless Vishawn memes, and these two things are apparently nearing a crossover point.
