Legendary director Martin Scorsese, who’s preparing to release his highly anticipated mob flick The Irishman in theaters and on Netflix, made waves last week in an interview with comments appearing to denigrate Marvel’s superhero movies — in a way that’s still resonating days after the fact.

A number of actors and directors like James Gunn (and now Mr. Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr., but more on that in a moment) have weighed in in response to Scorsese’s comments to Empire Magazine, in which the director compared Marvel’s billion-dollar franchise to the frivolity of theme parks. “I don’t see them.

Farmers have always done their best to maximize yield, whether that be cramming another row of corn onto a field or breeding beefier cattle, but pig farmers in China are really taking things to a new level. As Bloomberg reports, some pig farmers in the country have bred their animals into an almost unrecognizable state, and boy are they big.

On a farm owned by a man named Pang Cong, one particularly supersized pig weighs in at over 1,100 pounds, making it bigger than a polar bear.

With Game of Thrones out of the picture, several studios have been working on a bunch of fantasy TV series that could replace HBO’s massive TV hit. After all, fans of the genre will now be looking for something similar to digest now that Thrones has ended — and in spectacularly awful fashion, we might add. Two of the biggest ones will come from Netflix and Amazon, although it’s only Netflix that’s ready to premiere its new show this year; Amazon’s Lord of the Rings project hasn’t even started filming. Netflix will soon drop the first trailer for its brand new show The Witcher, and will hopefully tell us when the TV series will finally premiere.

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland actually helped save Spider-Man 3 by pleading with Disney and Sony to come to terms and strike a new deal. As a result, we do have two more Spider-Man movies in store for the MCU, including Spider-Man 3 and what I believe could be the next Avengers sequel (Avengers 5), or at least the massive setup for it. We also heard that Marvel may be getting ready to write Spider-Man out of the MCU for good, and these two films should help Kevin Feige and Co. accomplish that goal so that Sony can use the superhero for its own cinematic universe. Separately, a story said that Marvel and Sony have discussed ways they could share the superhero without having to worry too much about addressing what happens on the other side. After all, Holland’s Spider-Man is a complex character who has been shaped by what happened in the MCU. Ignoring all of that would be a colossal mistake and a huge problem for Sony. But how will Marvel remove Spider-Man from the MCU in a way that it doesn’t hurt fans or Marvel’s own future too much?
