Is Negan The Best Villain To Ever Be On TV? These 9 Might Be Better (Er, Worse?)
It's a question, we're all probably wrestling with after watching the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead. We all hate Negan, that's probably not even debatable at this point. But the odd thing is that even though we hate him; there's probably a tiny piece inside us that love to hate him. He's just that type of antagonist - he's cruel and charming at the same time, and watching him dole out his own brand of violence is oddly entertaining, in a gladiatorial sort of way. There are probably a thousand questions that flew through the minds of everyone watching Negan destroy the people we've grown to love:

The Emotions of '10 Cloverfield Lane'
Some of you may remember Cloverfield, released in 2008, and you may have your own opinion about it. Yet regardless of your opinion, it truly was a unique film that left everyone with more questions than answers and that's exactly what it was supposed to do. If there is one think that J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot do well, it is create entertainment that leave you wanting more. 10 Cloverfield Lane is no exception to that policy, and it was an exquisite display of the taut thrill ride that I'd expect from a film in the Cloverfield Universe.

7 Shows Like HBO's Westworld That Will Bend Your Mind
So there's really no denying that HBO's latest epic adventure Westworld is an absolute hit. Drawing 3.3 million viewers on last Sunday's premiere episode across digital and cable providers Westworld has shown the world a possible future and we love it. Now, technically Westworld is a far cry from the numbers that Game of Thrones reaches (7+ million), but for being a first season and not being developed out of a beloved source material - it's basically an original concept - Westworld has far exceeded the expectations, and looks to continue well into the future.

The DCEU Character Guide Part 1: The Heroes
4 years ago we were first given a glimpse into the redefining moment of Superman in Man of Steel (for good or bad is still up for debate). Regardless, we were brought into a new understanding of the Superman legacy and we started to imagine how his story could be expanded upon. That imagination is coming to fruition in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, as we are being given the continuation of the story we started in Man of Steel. But more-so we are being introduced to the Justice League in a grandiose fashion and kicking off the entire DC Extended Universe. Then shortly afterwards, we will be given the villainous side of the newly established DCEU, as we see the highly anticipated Suicide Squad hit theaters in August.

The CW Is Expanding Their Heroic Lineup - Is Supergirl The Last To Join, or Could We See More Soon?
With Super Girl Season 2 news buzzing, it's nice to take a step back. 2012 was a big year for The CW when they officially kicked off their DC Comics superhero universe with the introduction of Oliver Queen and Starling City in Arrow. Many thought it couldn't get much better, but The CW stepped it up and brought the Scarlet Speedster, through The Flash, into the mix and Barry Allen has become a central piece to the universe that has been created.
