The landscape of television and film looked very different back in 2008, when Marvel took a chance on a certain Golden Avenger. Iron Man began to slowly lay the groundwork, beginning a series of intricate steps made by the fledgling Marvel Studios and launching Phase One of their brilliant plan. By the time The Avengers was released in 2012, any doubts about the MCU had been assuaged. Marvel Studios has come a long way since then. Phase Three has almost double the amount of films as the previous two phases and Marvel has also taken Netflix by storm with their ambitious five-show plan. Not to mention Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, which is blowing through an awesome fourth season, and The Inhumans, set to premiere in IMAX September 26th, 2017. The MCU has become its own separate entity, drawing inspiration from its source material while continually expanding its own rich mythology. A large part of what ties this universe together is the way the characters within its framework are constantly evolving. The combination of inventive writing and spot-on casting has given us some truly memorable characters. Here are the Best Characters In The Marvel Cinematic Universe, for Ranked.

Mortal Kombat is a video game franchise that requires no introduction. Originally developed by Midway Games' Chicago studio in 1992, it and its sequels remain a staple among aficionados of fighting games after a quarter century. At the time of its release the game was unique for its fantasy-horror themed fighting genre and spawned many sequels and a media franchise consisting of several action-adventure games, films (animated and live-action with its own sequel), and television series (animated and live-action). Other spin-offs include comic book series, a card game and a live-action tour. Along with Capcom's Street Fighter and Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken, Mortal Kombat has become one of the most successful fighting franchises in the history of video games. As of June 2000, the franchise had generated $5 billion in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The series has a reputation for high levels of bloody violence, including, most notably, its Fatalities (finishing moves, requiring a sequence of button inputs to perform). The Fatalities, in part, led to the creation of the ESRB video game rating system. The series takes place in a fictional universe consisting of eighteen surviving realms. The Elder Gods decreed that the denizens of one realm could only conquer another realm by defeating the defending realm's greatest warriors in ten consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments. The series features scores of player characters. Among them are Earth's humans and cyborgs, good and evil deities, and denizens of Outworld and other realms. Here is a list of all the characters that appeared in the Mortal Kombat Franchise - Rank them from most favorite to least to tell us who ought to be the real champion of Mortal Kombat!

Even with the premier of Season 8 of HBO's Game of Thrones on April 14th 2019, after all of these years, it is still virtually impossible to guess which contender for the Throne will end up on top, if anyone. Of all the contenders, there are several plausible theories about who will be sitting on the Iron Throne when the series finally concludes. As Cersei Lannister famously remarked - "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." And die they did, breaking many fan's hearts and shocking viewers with gore, twists and turns. We do have some clues from the way Season 7 ended. A temporary truce was forged between the major houses to fight off the danger of the Night King and the White Walkers to the North. So will Jon Snow, the reluctant King in the North and the heir apparent of Rhaegar Targaryen, sit on the throne? Or will it be his newfound lover (and aunt) Daenerys, who has devoted every waking moment and the full might of her Dragons to that mission since the end of Season 1. Or will Cersei and her machinations prevail against all odds and the prophecy of the Valonqar? And since this is Game of Thrones, you can never count out a wildcard winner either. Gendry, the illegitimate son of Robert Baratheon, is certainly such a dark horse contender. And what of Bran Stark, who could possibly be the one and the same as the Night King himself? This list describes the various ways in which each of the still surviving characters might end up on the Iron Throne. But who do you think will finally sit on that veritable seat of power in Westeros, forged by swords and molded by Dragon-fire? Rank this list of possible contenders and let the world know by sharing your ranking. Don't forget to post your own theories and ideas in the comments below and subscribe for more GOT content.

"The Adventures of Asterix" is a beloved French comics series originally written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (until Goscinny's death in 1977). The series follows the adventures of Asterix, Obelix and a village of indomitable Gauls as they resist Roman occupation under Julius Caesar in 50 BC. They do so by means of a magic potion brewed by their druid Getafix which temporarily gives them superhuman strength. Many of the stories have Asterix, Obelix, Dogmatix and sometimes Getafix travel to foreign countries, though others are set in and around their village. For most of the series, settings in Gaul and abroad were alternated, with even-numbered volumes being set abroad and odd-numbered volumes being set in Gaul, mostly in the village and the surrounding Roman camps. Asterix continues to be one of the most popular comics in the world and has been translated into over 100 languages! The success of the series has led to 13 films: nine animated, and four live action. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris called Parc Astérix. In 2013, a new team consisting of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (artwork) took over the work of creating and publishing new volumes from Uderzo. As of 2017, 37 volumes have been released and several Asterix films have been converted into books. Which book is your favorite?
