Is the MCU heading towards Secret Wars?

Spoilers for Spider-Man No Way Home and potential spoilers for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness and other future Marvel shows and films 

Marvel Phase four finally got a kick in the right direction. While I really enjoyed Shang-Chi a so so Black Widow film and the divisiveness of The Eternals meant that we were for sure on a comedown from Endgame film wise and that was always going to be the case. Ignoring what are smaller stories for the TV shows (which I do enjoy all of them some more then others) the big screen . However, following Spider-Man No Way Home I think people will be changing their mind on it. While the story and characters of Shang-Chi shouldn't be slept on Spider-Man brings a big concept to the big screen in the multiverse. 

Between the villains and the Spider-Men of the Sam Raimi and Mark Webb universes we are moving ahead with another massive idea one which can raise the half universe ending stakes of Thanos in Multiversal domination. It opens a lot of things for Marvel with Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and the villains associated with their Spider-Men stories being part of the MCU multiverse now we could see similar concepts being used. One main speculation going around the internet at the moment is that of Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor X in the latest Doctor Strange film. With all these classic characters and with Shang-Chi talking about different dimensions as well it seems that multiverse/multi-dimensional war is coming and following the events of Loki it seems it will revolve at least in a small part around Kang the Conqueror. 

But with that what is the Endgame? You have multiple dimension hopping characters and a villain in that line. Well I think they will look towards a big comic event. Infinity War and Civil War have been done and Secret Invasion is being used for a Disney Plus series I imagine next in line is Secret Wars. I'm thinking more on the lines of Secret Wars in 2015. This followed a merge of the Multiverse in a wat of mainly getting Miles Morales to Earth-616. While not the sort of Universe merging spectacle the comic was (I mean Civil War was a scaled down Civil War compared to its Comic Counterpart) I imagine something along those lines would be possible. Marvel have looked to scaled up the Multiverse and with access to the legacy character from Fox and their X-Men & Fantastic Four films they have the basis for a Multiversal war (and getting a Hugh Jackman cameo as Wolverine). The issue comes for when this happens and what you do with Fantastic Four and the fact that Secret Wars 2015 was very focused around Doctor Doom (or God Empower Doom) so you'd need to build him up. I do think this is a good number of years away. 

All in all I feel this is the way the MCU is going. The step up from Universal to Multiversal war seems the right step (it's how you elevate past that. Annihilation Wave? Knull? we have a good decade until that) but we have a lot of things in the way of that from movies and TV from the New Avengers to what I could see is a Secret Invasion movie (which again would have to be massively changed between the Spider-Women Skrull and Norman Osborn) but I do think that this saga of MCU films will end with some form of Multiversal Secret Wars the question is how long it will take to get there. With a new host of heroes to be introduced in both films and Disney Plus series it might be best to for the moment just sit back and enjoy the show.

The Inazuma Eleven Football Manager Simulator - Game Idea Concept

-
If you had to ask me one anime, I constantly watch the answer would probably be Inazuma Eleven, football has always been my favourite sport, so it hooked me in right away. However, one thing I wish the series had was some kind of football manager like simulator where you can take control of the teams and manage them how you want and sign others and play against teams doing the same. Over the course of this article I hope to put forward a concept that follows in the football manager format but also remains fun as the Inazuma Eleven series is. A side note before we begin, I have had to change around a few things in relation to teams and how they play out to maximise options and paying experiences so please bare this in mind while reading. Teams I wanted to start this off by listing the teams that would be playable. Each of these teams you would be able to take over and manage. These have been compiled thanks to the Inazuma Eleven Wiki as a mixture of anime and game teams, I ha

Inazuma International Team Selection - Australia

Next up in this series of compiling the best combined international team for Inazuma Eleven is Australia, another team with three appearances being Big Waves in the original FFI, Big Waves in FFIV2 and Shining Satan’s in Orion’s FFI. Much like Korea the lack of defenders doing anything means it’s a 3 at the back but this time in a 3-4-3 diamond formation. Unlike Korea where the midfield and attack picked itself this team has a notified absence in midfield being Holly Summers of the original Big Waves who used the Hissatsu Kangaroo Kick against Kogure during his respective match. With it being a midfield 4 and all 3 of Australia’s captains being midfielders it left one spot open, I’ll go into why I picked the 4th midfielder I did when I reach them. GK: Jean Baker (Big Waves) As with Korea, Australia has 3 goalkeepers to choose from. Jean Baker from Big Waves, Pazuzu Zahman of Shining Satans and Jude Gordon of Big Waves GO. I chose Jean as he was simply the best keeper of the thr

Does Impact Wrestling have a problem with keeping and showcasing talent?

-
It's hard to imagine a wrestling landscape without Impact Wrestling. Formerly known as Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Impact has been active since 2002 at various levels at it's peak a viable alternative to the WWE with a fresh roster and a unique identity to at it's troth a chaos of managerial mistakes and money blown. It could be argued up to the formation of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) or New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) expanding into America that Impact was the number 2 company with TV deals all over the world including being the company to really look at breaking into the Indian market for wrestling before WWE put the belt on Jinder Mahal for the same reason.  However, something is just off with Impact to me. The majority of the promotion just feels like it's missing something. I feel this is due to the overall roster and how Impact finds itself in a wrestling landscape. Some of the talent I really like and will cover later but I think they suffer from being a smaller fis
