“Fighting Fate,” Episode 4 of Season 4 of My Hero Academia, begins with aplomb and ends with a draining and satisfying extended scene of real character growth. The season’s best episode yet accomplishes so much without throwing a single punch.

The two minutes of episode we get before the sweet-as-honey OP kicks in is one hell of an intro to the episode, spring-boarding us into what we will be immediately hoping is the best episode of Season 4 so far. These opening minutes forego the usual Deku spiel about UA and his goal of becoming the number one hero; instead, it provides expert exposition in a handful of shots. We get our first real glimpse of Mirio’s hero costume, proudly displaying the number ‘1,000,000’, and him officially telling Deku his hero name, Lemillion.

From Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, to a throwback 1980s Metroid shirt and everything in between, these are the best Nintendo gifts of 2019.

Ray tracing, haptic feedback, social strands, surprise mechanics, 8k resolution, “play as anyone”, adaptive triggers, games-as-service, advanced processing units… it never ends with the buzzwords, jfc.

Now, I know we’re supposed to be excited about all this new technology and all these new way to play games, and I’m as likely as the next guy to pre-order a PS5 and/or Xbox… Two? Good-looking games are better than the alternative, no one is arguing that.

Yeah, no thanks

AND YET! Is any of this crap going to make games more fun? Did playing Borderlands 2 in VR make it more enjoyable, or did it make you motion-sick? The Fornite Black Hole event was novel, sure, but Is Season 2 of Fortnite doing anything that “Season 1” wasn’t already doing? Did turning Fallout into a weird MMO social experiment make it more fun than a regular-ass Fallout game would have been?

The record-smashing Avengers: Endgame not only capped of 10 years, and three Phases, of Marvel movies, but now Disney is submitting the cast for Oscar consideration.

The film’s lengthy final battle, featuring the Avengers vs. 2014 Thanos and his evil horde, has also become a topic of endless exploration. Like how co-writer Christopher Markus recently admitted to the plot hole involving Captain America using Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir.

“What is the Matrix?”

Twenty years removed from erupting onto screens and carving its rightful place in cinematic history, this question at the heart of Lana and Lily Wachowski’s reality-bending trailblazer begs to be reappraised. Unlike Thomas “Neo” Anderson, dimly aware that something was wrong with his world but not quite sure what, we’re obviously familiar with the concepts and semiotics behind the Matrix by now. So here’s a better question:

What is the legacy of The Matrix?

After the rapturous acclaim of The Matrix followed by the far more muted reception towards both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, the reputation of this series overall may be as complicated and divisive as, well, the sequels themselves. However, fans have since become primed and ready for the recently announced fourth Matrix installment, which will see the return of Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and others. Though long rumored, frustratingly little about this sequel has been revealed so far.
