It seems like only yesterday I was saying Aquaman would outsell Wonderwoman and pointing out I was right. Aquaman Officially Passes Wonder Woman in Sales Well turns out Aquaman has outsold all movies in the DCEU, as reported by Cinemablend, Aquaman worldwide has cleared 900 million worldwide. With it not even being done, it may very well be the first DCEU movie to hit the 1 billion dollar mark. (which may happen before this even post) Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Possible Fantastic Four Video Game Teased
In a sentence I thought I would never type, or maybe hoped since I personally am not a fan, Comicbook.com is reporting that Marvel is teasing a Fantastic Four video game. Feel free to check the link for all the details but for me, this just seems like a bad idea with much of the goodwill with fans outside the comic world seemingly lost with the atrocity that is the Fantastic Four movies.
That isn’t to say a game with them can’t be good, I can imagine smashing away as The Think or burning the world up with The Human Torch. I just can’t in good conscience think hey this will be good after having sat through the movies, and while yes the game clearly will be made by someone else entirely I just can’t be excited by this idea. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Some Lord Of The Rings Games Removed From Digital Stores
Gamespot, as well as others, are reporting that Lego: The Lord of the Rings and Lego: The Hobbit have been removed from digital stores possibly due to licensing rights expiring. Unlike games like Middle Earth: Shadow of War the lego games contain music and dialogue from the actual movies which could be why they were removed. Either way, they are gone possibly forever. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Aquaman Officially Passes Wonder Woman in Sales
As some of you may recall, I made a bold claim awhile back that Aquaman would outsell Wonder Woman in the box office, to which many said I was insane. How would Aquaman, the longtime joke of DC possibly surpass Wonder Woman in sales? Well as reported by Screenrant it has done exactly that. Now I highly doubt it hits that coveted billion-dollar mark, but beating out WW to become the 2nd highest grossing film in the DCEU is impressive none the less. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Persona 5 R?
With a new video released that gives very few details, it seems that Atlus will be delivering the enhanced version of Persona 5 fans have been waiting for since they did it with both and 4.
Gamespot has more details. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Bird Box Director Defends Changing Ending From Book
What many people don’t know about Bird Box is the Netflix sensation is based off a book by Josh Malerman. The book released in 2014 and had the same name. Well, ScreenRant reports that director Susanne Bier in an interview with Polygon confirmed she changed the ending because she wanted the movie to end on a more positive note than the book because she doesn’t believe people should leave their screens or the theater with a bleak point of view. If you want her full quote I have included it below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
“The movie is slightly more positive. The movie is, in many aspects, different from the book, but it’s also very rooted in the book. The book also has a kind of positive ending and I would not have wanted to do an apocalyptic movie that didn’t have a hopeful ending. In a way, pretty much everything I’ve done has had some sort of a hopeful ending. I’m not particularly interested for the audience to leave, from the cinema or their own screen, with a kind of completely bleak point of view. That’s not really what I believe in.”
Avengers: Endgame May Be 3 Hours Long
ScreenRant reports director Joe Russo that the new Avengers movie will be around the 3-hour mark. This isn’t the first movie in the MCU to run so long, so it really isn’t a surprise that the one that will end the story up to this point will also have such an expansive runtime. Personally, this doesn’t bother me, and I can’t wait to see it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory/
Dragon Quest 11 Coming to Switch, at Least in Japan
Porygon has reported that Dragon Quest 11 will be getting some upgrades and be released onto the Nintendo Switch. Fair warning tho, that link does contain a spoiler so please don’t read it without knowing that up front. It does list some of the changes but some of the changes also include a spoiler. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Disney Trademarks Hakuna Matata
Disney fans have at least one worry it seems. A petition on change.org according to Screenrant is quite upset with Disney for trademarking the words Hakuna Matata which in Swahili means no worries. Now I personally have not seen the trademark but some would argue they simply mean in the song but that would fall under copyright, not trademark so it seems they simply want to trademark works of a language so I can understand why they would be upset about it. This may be worth watching for fans of such things. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Super Smash Sells Fast, Surprising Nobody
As the titles states and as reported by Polygon and many others the new Super Smash game is the fastest selling in the series on the fastest selling console of this generation, and it should surprise absolutely nobody. Smash is the most popular fighting game in a system that has had very few and is full of the most popular characters gaming has ever seen. With the following, the series has and with the fact that the Switch is quickly catching up to the Xbox One which has been out far longer the only surprise would be if this didn’t sell more. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
