*Poilus vs. Frontovik. What is the price of a mile? How many sons, fathers and brothers need to walk into the grind machine of war just for the slightest bit of advancement? And when is the price too much? In this battle two warriors who have seen the suffering and horrors of war battle against each other. Though even when they stand over their fallen enemy, rifle in hand, can they really feel like winners?

In one fell swoop, these horrific otherworldly creatures killed or turned Earth's heroes insane, ending the age of heroes and starting a new age of horrors. Darkseid, however, hasn't fallen yet.

*Brightburn takes the Superman origin story and asks "What if Superman was a bad kid?". Spoiler alert, humanity is fucked. While the premise shows promise the execution could use some work. Still a good watch if you enjoy superhero and horror movies. Aladin continues the trend of live action Disney animated classics and turns out vastly inferior to its source material and while Will Smith's version of the Genie is somewhat enjoyable, it just doesn't stack up to Robbie Williams. John Wick: Chapter 3 is good, that's all there is to say about it. Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn't bad nor is really good. While it did give the fans what they want it fails to live up to its legacy.
*Rage 2 has received mixed reviews with some praising the gameplay and visual style while criticizing the short length, story, and the use of microtransactions. If you like the first Rage you will probably like this one but there are better games you can spend your money on. Bubsy: Paws on Fire! is a Bubsy game. That's all you need to know. Don't play it. You might have heard of Total War: Three Kingdoms if you follow any history YouTuber like me. While it isn't the best Total War game it is by no means the worst and setting of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very interesting. 
*This has been one hell of a month for YouTube drama, starting with the one surrounding Jared Knabenbauer aka ProJared. On 9 May Jared announced on his Twitter that he was divorcing his wife Heidi O'Ferrall. Soon after Heidi revealed on her own Twitter that not only did Knabenbauer block her, but he also solicited and send nudes to underage fans on his Tumblr account and cheated on her with another influencer Holly Conrad, aka Commander Holly, who was married to Ross O'Donovan, aka RubberRoss, at time of the alleged affair. The allegations caused former fans of Jared to turn against him, causing a massive loss in his subscriber count. Jared and Holly released their own replies on May 18 and 21 respectively revealing Jared and Heidi were in an open relationship and Heidi began to act erratically when she learned of Jared and Holly's flings, despite dating other men at the time. The part that he was soliciting and sending nudes, however, was strangely unmentioned.
*Moving onto the next piece of drama. James Charles has come under fire after his mentor Tati Westbrook released a titled "BYE SISTER" where she explained that James promoted a rival vitamin company after they provided him with VIP tickets and security at a beauty event. She went on revealing that James talked to drama channels, manipulated and used his fame other people's sexualities in order to have sex with other men. This prompted others to come out and reveal that they too were approached by James who tried to gain sexual favors from them, most of not all of these statements have been retracted. James released his own video on May 18 titled "No More Lies" where he refuted all of Tati's points, which regained public trust.
*After massive amounts of backlash to his appearance in the first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer, Sonic will be getting a redesign that is more in line with his portrayal in the video games. To give the animators some extra time the movie has been pushed back from 8 November 2019 to 14 February 2020.
*The meme legend Grumpy Cat had sadly passed away on 14 May due to a urinary tract infection. The cat became an internet sensation due to her constant grump expression brought on by an underbite and feline dwarfism. Now we can only assume that Grumpy Cat has made her way into meme heaven where she is joined by Steven Karl Stevenson, Harambe and Cecil the Loin. Though I got the feeling she doesn't like very much up there.
*Game of Thrones finally concluded and god is the writing shit. Fans criticized the final season for its handling of the White Walkers, Jaime's character digression, Tyrion's blind and irrational loyalty Daenerys, the aforementioned Mother of Dragon's jarring face-heel turn, and the note the series decided to end on. This lead one of the fans to create a petition on change.org to "remake the last season with competent writers", a move that has been criticized by the Game of Thrones' cast.
