10,000 Jedi vs. 40,000 Spartans

10,000 Jedi vs. 40,000 Spartans
You may not be aware, but a group of developers have created a simulation game that lets players pit limitless units of whatever you can think of against each other. Like Chickens and dinosaurs for instance. It’s called The Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, and to show off what it can do, YouTuber SergiuHellDragoonHQ has released gameplay footage of 10,000 Jedi against 40,000 Spartans. The Jedi aren’t even using Force powers, just lightsabers. Even so, the carnage. Oh, the carnage!

Batman v Superman – 1990s Style

Batman v Superman - 1990s Style
1990s superhero films were mostly bad. Sure you had Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, but we also had horrible shows like Lois and Clark: the Adventures of Superman. That was such a waste of air time. So, what would Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman have looked like in the 90s? YouTuber Frank Ireland has the answers with a concept trailer of what Batman v Superman and the DCEU might have looked like if they had existed in the 1990s. It’s bad. It’s weird. John Cusack as Superman, Bruce Willis as Batman. It’s not dark and brooding. It is actually bright and silly. Which is something that the modern version could have used quite frankly.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Recreated Using An Apple II

Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer Recreated Using An Apple II
The Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer is mysterious and intense. How can you possibly make it better? By going retro of course. New York City-based artist Wahyu Ichwandardi recreated the first teaser trailer shot for shot using a 33-year-old Apple II computer and an old KoalaPad+ on which he drew every frame. He saved the collection of 288 images onto 48 individual floppy disks, then transferred them over to a more modern setup, putting the pictures together, and setting them to the trailer’s audio track. The result of all this hard work is very cool. Enjoy.
