Universe Wars

2026's Masters of the Universe makes the smart choice to play up the dumb parts of He-Man and not take anything seriously. It’s part Flash Gordon, part Deadpool, and almost officially a parody of itself. These are all good things, by the way.

Masters of the Universe has added last-minute Imax screens to its theatrical rollout after Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu opened up room for the large-screen format earlier than expected.

The picture of EVE Online's next three expansions that is taking shape is exciting. From integrating Vanguard ground combat to completely overhauling the new player experience to fully realizing the big idea of military campaigns, it's tough to boil it down to a common theme. But when the hull hits the hyperlane, the outline speaks of a heavily mythologized, 23-year-old space MMO that isn't afraid to rethink the basics, push more ambitious systems, and extend a steady hand to everyone who's always found it interesting, but too daunting to get started.

The new Masters of the Universe film runs 2 hours, 13 minutes, which is just long and bladder-filling enough to make one wonder whether they should stick around to see if there are any post-credits scenes. We’re here to tell you that you, yes, should stay all the way until the very end of the film credits.
