The Avengers may have been conceived as a group of remarkable individuals but even after a 15-year trajectory, Moon Knight might just be one of the MCU’s most outstanding characters in large part because of how hard it would be to make him fit in with everyone else. Marc Spector is an outcast, and such status does come with some perks the rest of Marvel is sorely lacking. In that sense, Moon Knight occupies a different place as he alongside Bucky Barnes come to represent the darker side of superheroes, the ones whose genesis story is not one of destiny, honor or responsibility but that of tortured individuals just trying their best to atone for their past sins....

Launched back in 2010 by Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol, Moon Studios found success in the form of 2015’s Ori and the Blind Forest. This was followed by Ori and the Will of the Wisps five years later. Now, as the studio works on its next release, Forsaken, it’s facing a barrage of accusations from developers over how its oppressive culture is nurturing a highly problematic environment for its workforce....

The movie is written, directed, and co-produced by the “master of disaster” Roland Emmerich, who is widely famous for making hit disaster movies including Universal Soldier, Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, Independence Day: Resurgence, and Midway. The fascinating sci-fi movie stars Halle Berry as Jocinda ‘Jo’ Fowler, John Bradley as KC Houseman, and Patrick Wilson as Brian Harper. It revolves around the moon falling down to the earth, predominantly bringing destruction to all life....

Cruz, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made the remarks in an interview with CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday. Last week, the U.S. government ordered China to shutter its consulate in Houston by Friday, alleging that the diplomatic facility had been used for “stealing” intellectual property. Cruz strongly criticized China, blaming the East Asian nation for the novel coronavirus pandemic and raising concerns about its malign activities toward the U....

China won the 500m women’s short track title for the fourth consecutive time – but no one would have guessed that Li Jianrou would be the one to do it – and then Zhang Hong (left) won China’s first ever (long track) speed skating Olympic title in an even more stunning result. This is also the first time China has won two gold medals on the same day at a Winter Olympics....

Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police are investigating claims that Raheem Sterling was the victim of racist abuse from fans during Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The incident happened just a week after a banana was thrown at Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the Gunners’ north London derby win over Tottenham. Chalobah says racist abuse is still a problem during games in England’s top flight and wants greater action to be taken....

President Joe Biden’s press secretary was specific in her recent denunciation of the Russian drone attack on an apartment building in Kyiv that killed at least four Ukrainian civilians: “We will continue to impose costs on Russia [and] hold them accountable for its war crimes.” The State Department says it will crack down further on Iran. The U.S., France, and Britain also agree that Iran supplying drones to Russia violates the UN Security Council resolution that endorsed the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal....

More than 94 million ballots have been already been cast in the 2020 election as of early Monday morning, according to the U.S. Elections Project, which tracks the early vote closely. Almost two-thirds of those early votes were cast by returning mail ballots (59,961,024) while 34,045,137 were in-person votes. But the data also shows that 31,385,941 mail ballots are yet to be returned. Not all states report party affiliations, but those that do include key battleground states Pennsylvania and Florida....

The decision was taken after its re-jigged Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) met here. Earlier the cricket body had sought applications by July 4, and scheduled interviews for today. “A lot of applications have been already submitted for Ranji Trophy and U-19…But we need little more time, so we have extended for three days (the deadline),” former India pacer Karsan Ghavri, who chaired the CIC meeting, said. “The people who have been missed out for applying in this time frame, they have more time and they will be considered (if they apply),” Ghavri added....

The striker was sent off for elbowing Scott Brown in an off-the-ball incident in the 31st minute at Celtic Park. Rangers were trailing 1-0 at the time after Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring with a fine run and finish just four minutes earlier. It is the fifth time Morelos has been sent off for Rangers in 2018-19. The Colombia forward has received three other red cards in the Scottish Premiership, all against Aberdeen, while he was also dismissed in a Europa League meeting with Ufa last August....

Then assistant Moreno stepped into the breach earlier this year when Luis Enrique resigned as his young daughter Xana battled bone cancer. She died in August. Former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique returned this week, however, replacing Moreno, who had worked alongside him in a number of previous positions. Moreno has not reverted to his role as assistant amid reports the two have fallen out, although he said in a statement on Wednesday he would not assess his final days as Spain boss, avoiding “a spiral of reproaches and justifications for each of the parties”....

As seen below in the rather lengthy video for Monster Hunter: World, a significant amount of different creatures and features seem to be present in the New World – that is, the game’s new continent – as fans are given a look at beasts such as the Anjanath, Great Jagras, and Rathalos during this particular hunt. Without a doubt, the final version of the title will contain a plethora of different monsters in the game’s various environments....

The Izuchi is one of many smaller monsters that players will encounter in their travels throughout Monster Hunter Rise. It is found in the Shrine Ruins and Frost Islands and will typically accompany the Great Izuchi. The Izuchi Tail is one of the more common parts that will drop from the creature and is used in a number of starting items. Being a small monster, it doesn’t have any natural elemental weaknesses or ailments....

How To Unlock The Infernal Springs In order to do a hunt in the new area, players will have to get through a couple of quests that will take up a bit of time. However, if players are equipped with the best armor sets and weapons, these shouldn’t prove to be too much of an issue. RELATED: Monster Hunter Rise 3.0: All New Monsters Monster Hunter Rise players will first have to finish up the monster quests from the 2....

In the Monster Hunter Rise demo that was released ahead of the game’s full launch, players were able to get hands-on with what the Long Sword and other weapons were able to do in its new iteration. The Long Sword has always been a popular and approachable weapon for newcomers and veterans of Monster Hunter games. With a combination of long reach, relatively quick attacks, and a stylish moveset, the Long Sword is a very attractive option....

Monster Broth is a valuable material that’s needed for many crafts. When forging armor, players will need it for the Mosgharl set. Some of the weapon crafting and upgrades that require Monster Broth are the Ladybug Cannon or any of the “Secta” Sword & Shield weapons from the Bnahabra trees. One thing to note is that Monster Broth is a High Rank material, so players who have not increased their Hunter Rank would be jumping the gun if they tried to find this material....

One of the biggest additions to modern Monster Hunter is the addition of a makeshift grappling hook. With the Slinger in Monster Hunter: World, the Clutch Claw addition to it in Iceborne, and the wire bug in Monster Hunter Rise, hunters now have a massively expanded set of mobility and monster interaction options. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak looks to bring even more versatility to this mechanic. It seems like some sort of grappling hook or finely-controlled rope will be a mainstay of Monster Hunter for the immediate future, and Sunbreak has every reason to continue experimenting and expanding what the wire bug can do....

With that said, a lot of Monster Hunter fans are going to be curious about how this game measures up against Rise. The most recent mainline game in the series, Monster Hunter Rise just recently received an update that added a more climactic-feeling ending to its story and single-player hunts. That won’t last long, as more substantial content updates are guaranteed to drop, but it does bring up a rather large point of difference between Rise and Stories 2....

Decorations, for those that might not be familiar, are the jewels that slot into armor and weapons in Monster Hunter World. Each jewel gives one point to a specific skill or fully unlocks a skill if the rarity is high enough. But getting those higher rarity decorations is not so easy. Most figured that the best route towards high rarity decorations would be tempered elder dragon investigations. After all, these are the toughest challenge for HR 50+ players and they have a chance of rewarded streamstones for weapon and armor augments....

One of the new pieces of Assassin’s Creed content in Monster Hunter World is called the “Bayek Layered Armor”, and it can be acquired right now through January 10, 2019 by way of a limited-time event quest called “SDF: Silent, Deadly, and Fierce” for PS4 and Xbox One. Unfortunately for PC players, Capcom has not yet announced an official time when or if it will incorporate the AC-themed crossover equipment for the personal computer iteration of the game....
