New MCU Theory Says Hulk Will Be The Villain Of Avengers 5

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone through many, many changes over the last 12 years.

For one, back in 2008, Iron Man was still seen as a B-list comic book character, while Terrence Howard and Edward Norton were playing the roles of Rhodey/War Machine and Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk, respectively.

Fast forward to 2020, and the MCU looks a heck of a lot different. Not only is Iron Man now one of the most popular comic book heroes around, but Kevin Feige and co. also replaced Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle, and got rid of Edward Norton and brought in Mark Ruffalo, who got a nice three-movie arc that started in Thor: Ragnarok and concluded in Endgame. But what comes next?

Well, if a new theory on Reddit is on the right track, then the Hulk might just become the villain in the next Avengers film, as it could very well loosely adapt the famous World War Hulk arc from the comics.

Here’s how it reads:

Banner destroyed his arm and Natasha died, then Tony gets all the credit for the victory when it was Hulk who snapped and brought everyone back.

Banner has anger issues, despite Ruffalo’s version being chill, it’s still in his history.

I see it like this:

Banner gets depressed, starts thinking if only I was as strong as I was on Sakaar I could have snapped and brought Natasha back and/or defeated Thanos and save her from having to sacrifice herself. This leads to the “Devil” Hulk coming out which in the MCU will basically be a vengeful violent version of the super strong World Breaker Hulk brought on by Banner’s guilt and anger.

It’s an interesting theory, and not the first time a villainous arc for Hulk has been predicted, but will we actually see it play out? Possibly, but it’s still far too early to say.

We know that the studio still intends to do more with the Jade Giant, as Ruffalo is all but confirmed to return for the She-Hulk series. There’ve also been whispers that they’ve got the rights back for the character, meaning they can make another solo movie for him.

But again, it’s too early to be mapping out what the future has in store for the Hulk. Rest assured, though, we haven’t seen the last of the fan favorite Avenger and with any luck, he’ll be back on our screens before we know it. Watch this space for more.

Fitbit, which makes fitness-tracking wearables, will be shifting supply chain resources to make emergency ventilators, Fitbit CEO James Park said to CNBC. The ventilators will be used to help treat COVID-19 patients and could help bolster the national supply of the medical devices, which have been in need during the pandemic.

“There was a lot of concern about the shortage of ventilators and we realized we had expertise already around the supply chain,” Park said to CNBC.

Fitbit plans to submit the designs for its ventilator to the Food and Drug Administration under an emergency use authorization “in the coming days,” according to CNBC....

Facebook’s Giphy acquisition sounds antitrust alarms in Congress

A bipartisan group of senators are sounding the antitrust enforcement alarm Friday over Facebook’s newly announced acquisition of Giphy, a GIF-making and sharing website.

On Friday, Facebook announced that it would acquire Giphy for the reported price of $400 million. Giphy is one of the largest GIF sites on the internet and social media and messaging services like Twitter, Tinder, Slack and iMessage already have Giphy integrated into their apps.

In a Friday blog post, Facebook said that half of Giphy’s traffic comes from Facebook apps and that the gif website would be rolled into Instagram, a Facebook-owned product. In that same post, Facebook suggested that Giphy’s core function as a GIF-sharing app across social media would not...

Tech companies’ work from home policies have some workers ready to flee Silicon Valley

Live in Silicon Valley long enough and someone will tell you that the party is over. As far as I can tell, this phenomenon dates back to at least 1874. As Peter Hartlaub recounted last year in the San Francisco Chronicle, upon the occasion of a writer for the Washington Post announcing that San Francisco had broken her heart, that was the first time a citizen had lamented the region’s vanished glory days. (The reason for the citizen’s heartbreak: the construction of the Palace Hotel, which he viewed as too tall and a blight on the skyline at 120 feet.)

San Francisco and its surrounding tech hub have continued to die ever since, most spectacularly during the dot-com crash, but certainly well before then, too. (Here, via Andreessen...

OnePlus’ 8 Pro has an accidental X-ray vision filter that sees through plastic and clothes

Well, here’s a camera trick we’ve not seen in a smartphone before: X-ray vision. Or, at least, something that looks very much like it. It’s a feature of the new OnePlus 8 Pro, which seems to use the phone’s infrared sensors to see through a small subset of black materials.

If you’ve got a OnePlus 8 Pro and want to try it out for yourself, just open up the camera app, swipe over to the “Photochrom” color filter, and point it some black objects.

Fair warning: we experimented with the filter ourselves and it really is quite selective. It only works on very thin black plastic that’s already a little see-through in the right light. Think things like TV remotes rather than the sturdier plastic of a high-end DSLR. It’s also hit or miss with...

Metal Gear Solid Director Shares Awesome Concept Art From The Movie

Jordan Vogt-Roberts is admirably dedicated to his Metal Gear Solid movie. The cinematic adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s beloved video game series has been in various stages of development for years, with the Kong: Skull Island director frequently updating fans via social media on what’s new with the project (lately, not much). Over the years, he’s shared pieces of concept art from the film, and this week he’s released a very cool new image showing off the pic’s nuclear-equipped walking death mobile: Metal Gear REX.

This indicates that, as expected, the focus of his movie is the Shadow Moses Incident as seen in 1998’s Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation. This would see legendary soldier Solid Snake infiltrating an Alaskan nuclear weapons disposal facility in order to prevent terrorists from launching a nuke. What’s actually transpiring there is a little more complicated, but let’s just say there’s a reason why the game is considered one of the greatest titles in video game history.

So, is a Metal Gear Solid movie going to happen? Well, even as a huge fan of the franchise, I have my doubts. Leaving aside that the series is effectively dead as Hideo Kojima and Konami have parted ways (with Konami pretty much abandoning video game development altogether in favor of gambling machines), I just don’t see the point of turning it into a film. That’s mainly because the games are already extremely cinematic, and what makes them special is their intricate gameplay, bizarre sense of humor, willingness to break the fourth wall and earnest (and often long-winded) political and philosophical messaging.

Perhaps I’m just being pessimistic, but I doubt that the trademark tone of Metal Gear Solid is going to translate to a blockbuster Hollywood movie. Are we going to get a scene where Psycho Mantis starts interrogating a theater audience on their decisions? Unlikely. But obviously, if this movie ever comes to fruition, I’ll be there day one.

Robert Pattinson Thought His Microwave Was An Oven And Exploded It

Robert Pattinson has a lot of time on his hands right now. Possibly too much time, as one reporter who interviewed him found out.

With The Batman on hiatus until the COVID-19 lockdown is lifted in the United Kingdom, the star is lounging around in a rented apartment with nothing to do. The interview already revealed that Pattinson is being a bit too chilled about his workout routine as he considers the hyper-strict superhero diet and exercise regime to be harmful. That might be the case, but it appears his culinary skills are also pretty damn dangerous.

According to GQ’s new interview, Pattinson has spent his Batman downtime perfecting a new concept, “a pasta which you can hold in your hand,” naming the dish Piccolini Cuscino (the Little Pillow). GQ’s reporter explained that the concept arose from Pattinson pondering why “pasta didn’t really have the same kind of fast-food credentials as burgers and pizzas.”

So, with not much else to do, he headed to the kitchen and rolled his sleeves up. Apparently, the recipe consists of:

“A giant, filthy dust-covered box of cornflakes, pre-sliced cheese, sauce, sugar, penne, aluminum foil, and water.”

These ingredients seem to have been piled haphazardly on top of one another, with the cornflakes standing in for breadcrumbs as Pattinson didn’t have any bread. Then, while trying to achieve a flambeed crust, the actor set his glove on fire, burning himself.

But the thrills didn’t stop there. Pattinson is being held by Warner Bros. in some kind of luxury apartment in which he isn’t exactly familiar with every appliance, it seems. After placing the foil-covered nightmare into an oven, the reporter asked the star if he was absolutely sure it wasn’t a microwave. Pattinson assured him that he was pretty sure it wasn’t. And then…we’ll let GQ explain:

“Proudly he is walking back toward the counter that his phone is on when, behind him, a lightning bolt erupts from the oven/microwave… Pattinson ducks like someone outside has opened fire. He’s giggling and crouching as the oven throws off stray flickers of light and sound. ‘The fucking electricity… oh, my God,’ Pattinson said. Then, with a loud, final bang, the oven/microwave goes dark.”

Now, I’m sure that the actor is just bored and having some fun with the interview but regardless, ‘Cooking Explosions with Robert Pattinson‘ is much more entertaining to hear about than the usual drivel that pours from the mouths of Hollywood A-listers. Don’t you think?

Let’s just hope that his Batman doesn’t ever have to go up against Maxie Zeus…
