Eternals may be Marvel’s black sheep, but its bonkers mythology looks… eternal
- The Marvel's Eternals franchise didn't do well with audiences initially, but it has still made an impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- The Eternals team prevents the birth of a new celestial which led to a big stone hand sticking out of Earth's ocean.
- Several Marvel properties, including She-Hulk and Captain America: Brave New World, directly take on the plot-dangler left by Eternals and What If...? season 3 is the latest.
- In What If... Agatha Went to Hollywood, Agatha Harkness transforms into a deity and defeats Arishem after absorbing fellow actor Kingo's power.
- What If...? allows Marvel stories to drift away from Avengers spaciness and take on an expanded group of cultural customs and graphics.
- Even though Eternals did not fit the Marvel Cinematic Universe's direction, it did stimulate new ideas with a unique blend of Pan-Asian cultural references and cosmological thriller.
- Given the interest that the MCU properties have shown in Eternals, what seems clear is that the film has made its mythology an important aspect of future Marvel stories.
- If Marvel continues to emphasize Eternals mythology in its future projects, it can make up for the lack of an Eternals 2, and Agatha may also get the big-screen treatment that her power set deserves.
- It is inspiring to see such a strange and bold mythology at play in the ever-evolving MCU that can be further explored in future projects.
- Although there are no immediate plans for Eternals 2, Marvel clearly seems interested in the mythology of the Marvel's Eternals and its implications for the future of the MCU.

Study finds video games improve mental well-being
- Video games have become a popular pastime and concern about their impact on mental well-being has been contentious.
- Public concerns about gaming’s impact on mental well-being have cast gaming in negative light.
- Contrary to those public concerns, new research suggests gaming provides unexpected benefits to mental health.
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions limited access to gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 (PS5).
- Japanese retailers used lotteries to allocate these devices, creating an unintentional randomized distribution of console ownership. Researchers leveraged this situation to evaluate the causal relationship between gaming and mental well-being.
- The study revealed that owning a PlayStation 5 led to a smaller improvement of 0.12 standard deviations than owning a Nintendo Switch that improved mental health by 0.60 standard deviations.
- Interestingly, the psychological gains varied depending on age and gender
- Researchers suggest that policymakers should consider these findings in taking a more nuanced approach in studying digital media’s effects on health.
- The study provides valuable insights to global organizations like the WHO and UNICEF to develop more balanced strategies for managing digital media consumption.
- The research paves the way for future studies to explore personalized gaming experiences as a pathway to targeted mental health interventions.

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu ignores a century of Draculas to summon an old monster
- Robert Eggers is back with his new movie 'Nosferatu', which is a tribute to Murnau's version of Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula'.
- Eggers is known for digging deep into the language and traditions of the past to bring his visions to life.
- 'Nosferatu' ignores a century of movie Draculas with one notable exception and goes straight to the source.
- Eggers has reset that narrative and created a movie that bypasses a changed corpse – a cinematic one: a tribute to the original version of Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula' as imagined by F.W. Murnau.
- Eggers uses Murnau’s German character names and precisely replicates his settings, giving the film a color treatment so washed-out that it’s almost monochrome.
- In his previous three films, Eggers’ vision was striking for its originality and craft.
- In this movie, Eggers gives strength to characters and subplots and fleshes out Murnau’s stripped-down retelling of Stoker into something more expansive and durable.
- 'Nosferatu' has an impressively doomy atmosphere and one hell of a closing shot which makes it a finely wrought monument to the ultimate Gothic horror movie.
- As a new reading of one of the most resonant stories of the past 150 years, it rings hollow.
- 'Nosferatu' debuts in theaters on Dec. 25.

Wisdom of Nym: The highs – and lows – of Final Fantasy XIV’s patch 7.15 stories
- Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.15 contains one piece of ongoing content with single quests that pull in a lot of material.
- Hildibrand stories work best when they feel like a part of the world itself.
- The story takes advantage of the fact that Solution Nine is already kind of silly.
- Post MSQ additions are about picking up a thread the MSQ brought up along the way about the connection between Alexandria and Tuliyollal.
- Nitowikwe’s deliveries are all about the logistics of re-establishing old connections and just establishing new ones.
- Crafting deliveries are less interesting than the other patch stories.
- The crafting deliveries don't add up to an interesting run but take place in the same locale.
- The crafting delivery story doesn’t really go anywhere beyond acknowledging that it exists.
- Eliot plans to talk about Summoner job which needs a serious revamp despite receiving extensive redesigns.
