Umbrella Academy Explained: What Is the New Netflix Superhero Series?

There’s certainly no shortage of new TV shows based on comic books in 2019. But there’s one series that seems to be on everyone’s radar this year – Umbrella Academy. Based on the comic books from Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Bá, this new Netflix series puts a darker, quirkier spin on the X-Men formula.

If you’re not sure why everyone is looking forward to the show’s debut, it’s time to brush up on all things Umbrella Academy. Here’s everything you need to know about the premise, characters, and setting of this oddball superhero saga.

Umbrella Academy Explained: The Basics

The Umbrella Academy begins when 43 superhuman infants are suddenly born to mothers who had shown no signs of pregnancy beforehand. A wealthy inventor and philanthropist named Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven of these children and raises them to be superheroes at the titular Umbrella Academy. Unfortunately, with Hargreeves being a ruthless taskmaster who cares only about results, these seven children grow up to be dysfunctional, psychologically damaged heroes.

Opinion: I Miss When Battle Royales Were Boring

Battle royale as a genre continues to grow wildly out of control, and as it does new trends are starting to emerge within it. Compared to earlier BRs, the latest games are much faster-paced, usually with smaller maps that facilitate more action. And while that’s surely a positive for a lot of players, I can’t help but miss the boring stuff.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and BRs as a whole are rooted fundamentally in military sims like Arma. At the start, that meant big maps, realism-based healing and looting mechanics, and a helluva lot of walking as the norm. But games like Call of Duty: Blackout and Apex Legends have shoved the status quo further away from the sim side of things and closer to the feeling of a traditional multiplayer FPS – even PUBG is introducing smaller maps like Sanhok with similarly action-packed goals.

Avengers: Endgame Costumes Revealed

A promotion for Orville Redenbacher popcorn has given us our first glimpse at the costumes worn by the heroes in Avengers: Endgame. The image shows the looks for Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, and Hawkeye–or as he’s expected to be known, Ronin.

Ronin aside, the photo (via ComicBook) shows the heroes largely returning to their roots. Thor, Cap, and Iron Man all don pretty traditional looks. Iron Man’s suit is much more polished and spiffy than the wreckage we’ve seen in trailers so far, and Cap is back to the clean-cut star-spangled man after his darker, bearded appearance in Infinity War (RIP). Black Widow is wearing a sleek black jumpsuit, and her hair has returned to its fiery red. Hulk is the biggest departure from the norm, wearing a jumpsuit of his own that appears perfectly fitted to his massive frame.

No Caption Provided

The official synopsis suggests that the heroes will attempt to “undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.” We expected as much, given that Marvel has already begun teasing movies starring characters that are ostensibly deceased like Spider-Man. How exactly they’ll do this, and who won’t live through it, remains to be seen.

The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame suggested that Ant-Man could be instrumental to the plan, given Steve Rogers’ surprise at seeing Scott Lang appear on his doorstep. It seems that the Avengers presumed he was deceased, when a post-credits scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp revealed he was in the quantum realm during Thanos’ genocidal finger-snap.

Before Endgame hits, though, Marvel has one more hero to introduce. Captain Marvel is coming on March 8, and the post-credits sequence of Infinity War implies that Nick Fury thinks of her as his trump card. As for Endgame itself, it appears likely to be longer than any other Marvel movie to date–which makes sense given that it’s the culmination of a decade of this connected universe. Check out our breakdown of the Super Bowl trailer for more.

PS4 Game Flash Sale Is Live On PSN

PlayStation is hosting another flash sale on PSN, offering deals on some games that you may have missed during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Many of the discounts are to games that released in the fall, so you could be forgiven for having them overshadowed by all the big AAA releases of 2018.

Darksiders 3 is the long-awaited sequel, and the first entry in the series since THQ Nordic acquired the rights. It’s been marked down to $48, or you can pick up the Blades & Whips edition for $70. Similarly, Fallout 76 has been marked down to $36, and the more expensive Tricentennial Bundle is going for $48. You can also snag Monster Hunter World for $25, or its Digital Deluxe edition for $30. In each case, going for the pricier option gets you some exclusive unlocks.

Other highlights include Tetris Effect, one of our top games of 2018, for $30, Earth Defense Force 5 for $48, and Moonlighter for $12, among others. Tetris Effect will also let you try it for free this weekend on PS4, so if you like what you play you can grab it at a discount. Check out the full listing below, which is relatively short for a flash sale.

These are notably all PS4 games, with no PS3 or Vita games on the list. That appears to be another sign that Sony is slowly phasing out its attention on those platforms, as it will no longer offer games for them as freebies on PS Plus as of March. Plus members are getting a boost to their cloud storage space, though, and that perk went live today.

This is a flash sale, so the discounts don’t last long. You’ll have to make your purchases by February 11 at 8 AM PT.

First Child Play Remake Trailer Teases Killer Doll Mayhem

It’s a great–if confusing–time to be a fan of the Child’s Play series. The classic killer doll franchise is now more than 30 years old, and not only is a new TV show in the works, but an unrelated movie remake also hits theaters this summer. The first trailer has now been released for that film.

The trailer doesn’t give much away, and fans hoping to see or hear Chucky might be disappointed. But we do get the story set-up, which seems to hit the beats of the original 1988 movie. A young boy is given a Buddi toy, the hottest doll on the market. Unfortunately, this doll has a mind of his own and sets about causing all sorts of murderous mayhem. No word yet if the remake Chucky has been possessed by a serial killer like in the original films, but he certainly seems every bit as evil as the first version. Check the trailer out above.

Child’s Play is directed by Lars Klevberg, who has also helmed the upcoming horror Polaroid. It stars Aubrey Plaza (Legion) and Brian Tyree Henry (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), plus Gabriel Bateman (Light’s Out) as the kid who end up in possession of the evil doll Chucky. It’s produced by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith, who also produced the blockbuster 2017 adaptation of Stephen King’s It The movie hits theaters on June 21.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Klevberg spoke about getting involved the remake. “Child’s Play was, and is, one of my all-time horror movies and it was one of my introductions to horror,” he said. “I got the script [for the remake] and it was really really good, and I knew it was from the producers from It, and I jumped in immediately.”

As for the Child’s Play TV series, it’s titled ‘Chucky,’ and is being developedfor SyFy. While Child’s Play creator Don Mancini is not involved with the new movie, he is writing and producing the show.

The Chucky series kicked off in 1988 with Child’s Play, which was followed by two direct sequels in 1990 and 1991. The series took a more overt comic turn with 1998’s The Bride of Chucky and three subsequent films. Mancini wrote every movie in the series to date and directed the last three, including 2017’s The Cult of Chucky.

Sony’s PS Plus Storage Boost Is Available Now

If you’re constantly running out of storage space for your save files, today is your lucky day: Sony’s PlayStation Plus storage expansion is now live, giving all PS Plus members 100 GB of cloud storage.

That’s 10 times the previous allowance PS Plus members received as part of their subscription. The expansion comes as Sony removes free PS3 and PS Vita games from its monthly games selection, focusing on PS4 games only for the near future at least.

February is the final month free PS3 and PS Vita titles will be available to PS Plus members. Those titles are Divekick and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PS3, along with Gunhouse and Rogue Aces for Vita. PS4 players, meanwhile, get the 2016 Hitman reboot and Ubisoft’s medieval fighting game For Honor. The new PS Plus games are out now, along with an additional bonus for Apex Legends players.

PS4 will soon receive a new system software update too, after Sony sent out beta invites for version 6.50 of the console’s firmware. It seems there are no major features coming in that update as yet.
