News - Call Of Duty Anti-Cheat Was Falsely Banning Legitimate Players, But All Accou

Activision's anti-cheat software, Ricochet, was falsely banning legitimate players, causing a stir in the Call of Duty community as people spoke out about how they were penalized when they did nothing wrong. Activision recently owned up to this, saying only a "small number" of legitimate players were impacted for Modern Warfare III and Warzone, and those who were impacted have had their bans reversed.

So what happened here? Activision said players found a workaround in a Ricochet detection system for Modern Warfare III and Warzone that allowed them to target legitimate players. In essence, people found a way to go after people they wanted to see get banned, even if they did nothing wrong.

All legitimate accounts that were impacted have been restored, Activision said, going on to further note that it will conduct an "examination of our systems" to try to prevent this from happening again.

News - Dune: Messiah Might Arrive Sooner Than Expected

Following the release of Dune: Part Two earlier this year, director Denis Villeneuve suggested that he might take an extended break from the franchise before returning for a third film based on Dune: Messiah. However, Villeneuve has changed his mind and he's now looking to get back to the story on Arrakis as soon as possible.

"Let's say that I thought that after Part Two that I will take a break, that I will go back in the woods and stay in the woods for a while to recover," Villeneuve told Deadline. "But the woods weren't really suiting me, and I would go back behind the camera faster than I think. But that's all I can say."

Earlier this year, Villeneuve lined up the rights to adapt Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen's nonfiction book Nuclear War: A Scenario. The director has also hinted at other projects he had in the works besides Dune. If Dune: Messiah is starting sooner than expected, then the status of those films is currently unknown.

News - The Penguin: Comic-Book Stories Are Still Ashamed of Being Comic-Book Stories

When Fox put the first X-Men movie together, producers looked at the pages of the comics and worried about whether moviegoers would be put off by the silly clowns dancing around on the pages even as they salivated at the potential profits those silly clowns promised. They took inspiration from The Matrix, according to Kevin Feige, and instead put the team in black leather--and then wrote in a joke about yellow spandex just to remind us what a bunch of dummies we are for liking the source material, comic books.

Nearly a quarter of a century later, Marvel Studios has changed the conversation, giving us great-looking, faithful reproductions of characters like Wolverine, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man among many others. They made $30 billion doing it. So why are there still so many productions out there that seem to be terrified of acknowledging their source material?

DC recently debuted the movie Joker: Folie à Deux, and we're a few episodes into HBO's The Penguin--two dramatic adaptations of well-known DC villains that promise an in-depth look at these villains as if they were real people. Both seem to be begging us every minute to forget that they're based on comics.
