Goodbye Idiot Hookers: 'Scream Queens' Will Not Return for Season 3
The great TV cull of 2017 claims another victim as #RyanMurhpy's #ScreamQueens takes a tumble down the stairs and snaps its neck courtesy of Fox. Since 2015 we battled the sassy and classy Chanels, a Red Devil Killer, and Jamie Lee Curtis in her best role since Laurie Strode. Season 2 introduced a new foe with the Green Meanie alongside nostalgia stars like Kirstie Alley and Jerry O'Connell, but it wasn't enough to ensure that we would battle a Blue boogeyman or Yellow Yeti in Season 3. With a huge slump in ratings from its promising start, the news that Scream Queens won't be back for more is no big shock, even to the dim-witted Chanels.

Don't close the book just yet, because it seems that ABC is anything but done with its fairytale fantasy #OnceUponATime. We may have had somewhat of a casting cull when losing the likes of Jennifer Morrison and Rebecca Mader, but with happy endings and Emma's "Swansong," creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis just penned a whole new saga for Season 7 and beyond.

Straight From Our 'Knightmares': Artist Reveals Giant Bat-Creature From 'Batman V Superman' (No, It Isn't Man-Bat)
While we thought we had escaped the horrors of box-office blunder Batman v Superman, it seems that the specter of lame Lex Luthor, flashy flash forwards, and Granny's peach tea are still hanging over us. That isn't to say that there weren't glimmers of brilliance in the darkness, and now artist Patrick Tatopoulos has taken to Instagram to reveal his concept art for the giant bat monster that took on #Batman in Bruce's nightmare. We all remember it as one of the film's jump scares, but if not, refresh your memory here:

It's an Anti-Matter of Fact: James Gunn Reveals Which Fox Character He Wanted for 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
Somewhere out there, there is an alternate reality where everyone can be friends and Fox and Marvel can put their differences aside. However, in the meantime we are locked in a bitter (Infinity) war where you can't say the name Reed Richards without causing a (Sue) Storm in a teacup. Thanks to a bitter dispute about who owns which characters, we are left with two Quicksilvers, minimal X-Men in Deadpool, and why people are unsure how you can have a Spider-Man-less Venom movie.

Where There's a Quill There's a Way: Did 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' Introduce Peter Quill's Sister?
The world's most dysfunctional family returned for #JamesGunn's #GuardiansoftheGalaxy2, and among the hugging and daddy issues, we finally solved the mystery of who popped a bun in Meredith Quill's oven that rolled over from 2014's first film. It was certainly a family affair as Gunn retconned the #comicbook storylines and made the spherical mass that was Ego the Living Planet into Star-Lord's actual father. Elsewhere, Drax dropped an Easter Egg about his daughter — the comic book character Moondragon — and Quill's grandfather also had a cameo. However, were we too blinded by a dancing shrub to miss another member of the Quill family tree right in front of our eyes?
