6 Streaming Shows That Have Redefined Mainstream Entertainment
Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV - you know the names, and odds are that you probably subscribe to at least one of these outlets. Streaming has become the new normal for countless individuals, often taking precedence over the standard cable television outlets across the country. Now, I'm not saying that Network and Cable television is a thing of the past because they aren't relevant, but what I am saying is that entertainment has evolved because of the popularity of streaming services. Cable networks have even begun changing HOW they do television because of how services like Netflix and Amazon have drastically changed what viewers expect to be able to see.

Without the Board Game, Is the New Jumanji Film Actually a Reboot?
For those who don't remember Jumanji (1995), the film centered around of a group of people stuck together, due to a magical board game requiring them to complete the game or face a lifetime stuck in a dystopian world full of mischievous and dangerous animals running a muck. The original Jumanji fit perfectly in the time it debuted, as board games were all the rage at the time. However, the newest installment in the Jumanji franchise, Jumanji 2 might not be as well received with its focal points centered around a board game. In today's entertainment industry, board games aren't quite as popular as they were a couple decades ago - so when it comes to news of a Jumanji sequel being in the works, that may worry fans of the classic Jumanji film.

X-Men: Apocalypse Creates New Timeline of Events
The newest trailer for the film has released a ton of new promotional footage which fans are dissecting to the finest point. One topic of interest is the cameo of Nate Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse. The reason that Nate Grey is a hot topic of discussion is because his origins stem from being a creation of the villainous, Mister Sinister; along with Nate Grey being made from the genetic material of Jean Grey and Scott Summers, whom are both set to be pivotal characters in X-Men: Apocalypse. But apart from Nate Grey's cameo in the film, there are some more interesting developments happening in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Netflix Is Losing Content: But It's A Good Thing
Netflix has been an entertainment staple to countless people over the years, even to the point of thousands of cable/satellite customers cancelling their service to only stream via Netflix (and possibly other services like Amazon and Hulu). Although it may seem like a rash move to cancel satellite or cable service to some, others see it as the only decent solution when an average cable bill is $75 per month (that’s $900 a year), and they can pay $10 per service (Netflix, Prime & Hulu) per month and cut their cost by a third ($360 a year). It’s staggering to think about when you break it down like this so you would imagine that with the popularity of the streaming service the content would just be piling up. But the fact of the matter is that over the last 3 years nearly 40 percent of available content has disappeared.

Captain America Civil War: How would the X-Men weigh in
Captain America: Civil War is set to release in less than a months time. The internet is currently being bombarded with fan questions and theories, speculating on what motivation will drive the film. It's obvious that the film will focus on Captain America, but as to how the Civil War will conclude is up to debate. Another question on people's minds is how and where are the X-Men in all this? Yes, their property rights are currently under 20th Century Fox and Captain America: Civil War is packed with superheroes as it is, but where would the X-Men fit into the Civil War conflict if they were given the opportunity to appear? Their Marvel Comics' counterparts have members of the X-Men and other fellow mutants on opposing sides, just as members of the Avengers find themselves in Captain America: Civil War. It's not impossible to think that in the near future 20th Century Fox will come to an agreement with Disney and Marvel to share the properties of the X-Men, and fellow mutants. Fox is down to only having proprietary rights over the X-Men out of the Marvel franchise; the rights to Daredevil, Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Blade have all reverted back to Marvel and Disney which is leading toward the inevitability of the X-Men becoming a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If and when this agreement will be reached is still unknown, but it brings up an intriguing question as to how the X-Men would fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Were the X-Men to be brought into the MCU' as it's currently facing the fate of Captain America: Civil War, the mutants of the X-Men could have an interesting role in the MCU' just as their comic-book counterparts played crucial roles in the Civil War event as well.
