While Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set “many generations” after the previous Planet of the Apes trilogy, it also draws heavily on the mythology of those films: Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes. And if you haven’t seen those films you might need some additional context. But the new film also draws on some concepts from even earlier films, particularly the original Planet of the Apes and its sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

The X-Men ’97opening credits have been changing a little bit every single week, as characters enter (and sadly exit) the cast, and various X-Menstorylines are remembered or teased. This week, though, had one of the tiniest but best Easter eggs: Because Bastion has turned people into “Prime Sentinels” when the credits get to the shots where Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants charge at Professor X and the X-Men, the ordinary people caught in the middle of the conflict are …Prime Sentinels. But that’s just one of the many Easter eggs, hidden Marvel references, and little details you might hav...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a new film in the long-running franchise, and it’s set hundreds of years after the previous films. But the events of that last Apes trilogy — Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes — are hugely important to the backstory of Kingdom, which is about a new ape society that is threatened a new group of violent apes who study the history of their race. If you haven’t seen those earlier movies, you won’t fully understand the subtext and meaning of this new film. And if you haven’t seen those movies, but ...

Every movie George Lucas makes is extremely personal. That’s obvious in films like American Graffiti, which is set in Lucas’ hometown of Modesto, California and follows a group of teenagers who love cruising in their cars just like he did as a teen. But even his Star Wars movies are personal as well. Lucas saw himself in Luke Skywalker, the farm boy from a remote little town in the middle of nowhere (i.e. Modesto) who yearns of leaving his home for a big life full of adventure. But the parallels don’t stop there. Believe it or not, the much-maligned Star Wars prequels also contain tons of elem...

Bastion himself appeared in a ’90s comic story called “Operation: Zero Tolerance.” And several years before that there was also “X-Tinction Agenda.” That’s just one of the many Easter eggs, little details, and hidden references you might have missed in the latest episode of X-Men ’97. For all of them, check out our video below. We’ll look back at the episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series that introduced Nimrod, and how Bishop, Wolverine, and Storm all pl...

This week’s episode of X-Men ’97is titled “Bright Eyes,” a phrase that comes straight out of X-Men: The Animated Series. That was what Rogue called Cable during his appearance on the old show. And guess who appears on this episode to help the X-Men and warn them about the big villain they haven’t even realized is making moves against them? Yep — it’s Cable.
