Marvel Studios’ recent Ms. Marvel announcement means they can no longer ignore the Inhumans. When Marvel Television launched Agents of SHIELD back in 2013, the plan was for the films and TV shows to be intimately connected. That plan was seemingly confirmed when Marvel Studios announced that their Phase 3 slate included the Inhumans - and then, in a surprising twist, the evolutionary offshoot of humanity made their MCU debut in Agents of SHIELD season 2....

Former boxing world champion Mike Tyson has taken a jab at Nintendo for being excluded from Punch-Out!! on Switch. Tyson famously starred as the final boss in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! for the NES. Although Punch-Out!! previously existed in arcades and on the Game & Watch handheld in the mid ’80s, most people tend to remember the 1987 NES version the best.
