Quick Take

• Dolly Parton’s iconic comedy classic 9 to 5 is coming back to theaters, and proceeds from each ticket sold will contribute to the musical icon’s charity.
• Proceeds from each ticket sold will support Dolly’s own Dollywood Foundation and her Imagination Library.
• Nerdist’s take: 9 to 5 is still a relevant and iconic comedy, and what better way to honor the icon’s legacy than by seeing her signature movie in theaters and helping out kids?

As a planet, we’re all still collectively grieving the loss of Dolly Parton, who recently passed away at age 80. In that time, folks have been sharing their favorite Dolly memories, television moments, and songs on social media. And now, one of her most iconic movies is getting a theatrical re-release in her honor. And going to see it will actually benefit a good cause. Twentieth Century Studios is bringing Dolly’s iconic comedy 9 to 5 back to theaters, with ticket proceeds going to The Dollywood Foundation. This supports its flagship program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Twentieth Century Studios

This weeklong run for “9 to 5” begins on October 9. Disney announced the 9 to 5 theatrical re-release, fittingly enough, on September 25, or “9/25.” This is now designated as “Give Like Dolly Day.” It will be a new annual celebration asking folks to make a contribution to improve a child’s life, and honor Parton’s lifelong mission to spread literacy to children everywhere. So why not go to a theater, enjoy one of Dolly’s most iconic cinematic performances, and in doing so help contribute to a cause that was near and dear to her heart?

9 to 5 famously also stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. This brilliant satirical comedy is about women in the workplace, who scheme to get revenge on their sexist boss. And it remains relevant to this day. The film became an enormous hit when it came out in 1980, behind only The Empire Strikes Back in terms of box office success. It especially struck a chord with women across the country, just as feminism and the concept of workplace equality were starting to become mainstream. And, of course, the theme song by Dolly herself became an anthem. If you go see the film in theaters, you’ll have the song stuck with it in your head for days. But really, that’s not so bad, right?

Quick Take

• One of the new post-credits for Avengers: Endgame Encore features Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom busting out Bruce Banner from his underground prison cell, which he’s in after the Hulk-out events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
• While many presume to believe this is setting up Banner for a role in Doomsday, we actually think it’s for a bigger role in Avengers: Secret Wars. Although a Doomsday cameo may still be in the cards.
• In the original Secret Wars comics, Hulk has a big role in a domain in Battleworld called Greenland, filled with gamma-irradiated Hulk variants.
• Nerdist’s take: We believe Hulk will be Doom’s secret weapon in Secret Wars, and we sincerely hope that means we get a Hulk vs. Ben Grimm/The Thing fight scene.

One of the biggest surprises from the enormous Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement last year was that Mark Ruffalo was not included. Of course, he did have a big role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, so that kind of made up for it. And in BND, we got to see Banner go full “savage Hulk” for the first time since Thor: Ragnarok, which was glorious. But now a new scene at the end of Avengers: Endgame Encore shows what became of Banner after BND, and how it sets up his MCU future. But that future is probably not in Doomsday. We’re pretty sure this scene sets up Hulk’s role in Secret Wars instead.

Endgame Encore’s Bruce Banner Scene Shows Him Being Taken By Doctor Doom Marvel Studios/Sony

The new scene shows Bruce Banner alone in a secure bunker miles underground. Authorities placed him there after his first Hulk-out “incident” in a decade, thanks to Jean Grey unleashing his inner beast. Dr. Banner speaks to a camera and says he’s there experimenting with a new gamma serum. One to keep his savage self under lock and key. Then, lights start flickering, and a green glow appears. We then hear the voice of Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom. He’s there to “collect” (abduct) Banner, but as Doom takes him, we hear the Hulk’s voice. Doom and Hulk then vanish, as glowing green runes cover the floor.

We Believe the Banner Scene Sets Up Secret Wars, Not Doomsday

Here’s the thing, though. While Banner may have some kind of cameo in Doomsday, we’re not counting on it being much more than that. No, we are fairly certain this new scene is setting up a big role for him in Secret Wars instead. We don’t actually think that Doctor Doom is going to show all of his villainous cards up front in Doomsday, and will operate for much of the film under the pretense of being a good guy, and an old friend of the Fantastic Four’s Reed and Susan Richards. Whatever his plans are for Banner, possibly as his mind-controlled enforcer on Battleworld, that’s all going to play out in Secret Wars.

In Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Wars Comics, Banner Became “Doc Green” in Battleworld Marvel Comics

In Jonathan Hickman’s 2015 Secret Wars comic, which the film will largely be based on, the Hulk plays an important role. On Doctor Doom’s Battleworld, there’s an entire domain named Greenland, populated entirely by different variants of the Hulk and She-Hulk. In this domain, there’s a version of Bruce Banner that goes by the name Doc Green. This version of Banner acts as a guide in this gamma-irradiated and desolate area. And we think it’s likely that the 616 version of Banner we know and love will become Doc Green. Or, at least some kind of variation of him, under Doom’s thrall.

Nerdist’s Take: We Believe Bruce Banner as Doom’s Minion Means We Get a Hulk vs. Thing Battle

We know that Doom will have several “Latverian Witches” who serve him in Doomsday, who are all likely known MCU characters. None of them look to be Banner, much less the Hulk. But it stands to reason that Banner could also become a minion of Doom like them, maybe his main muscle. If that means we get the Hulk vs. the Thing on Battleworld, we’re all for it. But aside from a possible brief cameo appearance? We really don’t think this new scene is setting up Hulk’s role in Doomsday. This scene is teasing something that’s still more than a year away. We’ll find out for certain when Avengers: Doomsday arrives this holiday season.

Quick Take

• We at Nerdist felt The New York Times‘ “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century” list was missing quite a few very important shows.
• Our staff selected their 1 or 2 picks for the series that were left off the list but should really have been included.
• Among others, our list contains The Boys, Hannibal, Fargo, Interview with the Vampire, Avatar: The Last Airbender and more.

Ah, do you feel that in the air? It’s the sound of DEBATE. The New York Times has published a new list: “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century.” And, of course, all over the internet, the sound of people arguing has emerged. Do these shows deserve to be on the list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the modern era? Are there other great series that have cruelly been forgotten? Well, we at Nerdist were certainly having this discussion. And we had OPINIONS, chiefly about which of our favorite shows were left off the Best TV Shows of the 21st Century List, but surely deserve to be there. And so, we bring you a list of our own, “Nerdist Staff Pick The 10 Shows Missing From NYT’s 100 Best TV Series.” We each tried to pick only one series we felt was the best of the best of 21st Century TV— worthy of a place among the rest. But, in the end, we ended up with way more than that. That’s just how passion works, baby.

The Boys (2019), Selected by Eric Diaz Prime Video

When The Boys landed on Prime Video in 2019, it came at the peak of “Peak TV” and the peak of superhero cinema. Somehow, Eric Kripke’s satirical series managed to skewer both things hilariously, while brilliantly holding up a very, very accurate mirror to our own political and cultural landscape. Some were disappointed in how it all ended, but nothing can erase what an amazingly written series this was for the majority of its run. And Antony Starr’s performance as the psychotic Homelander was one of television’s greatest star turns of all time. Yes, The Boys was crass, violent, and gross. But it was also brilliant, and deserved a spot on “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century” list.

You can stream The Boys on Prime Video.

Doctor Who: Modern Era (2005), Selected by Kyle Anderson BBC

One could argue Doctor Who has been on the air since 1963, ergo it doesn’t deserve to eat up real estate on a Top 100 of the 2000s list. But since its regeneration in 2005, it has been one of genre TV’s most consistent and consistently interesting programs. Across 15 full seasons and 21 years, Doctor Who has seen some of sci-fi’s highest highs and experienced some of its most troubling setbacks. But while some would argue its best days are behind it, with the high-water mark coming around 2013 for the franchise’s 50th anniversary, Doctor Who continued on for a further 12 years, and even if fans had their gripes, the show never lost relevance, each new Doctor bringing with them a different excitement and set of fans. What other series in the modern age can boast beginning in the pre-HD days, becoming one of Tumblr’s sacred cows, finding a Gen Z star, and becoming a victim of the streaming wars?

Hannibal (2013), Selected by Rotem Rusak NBC

If you haven’t seen Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal, you are truly missing out. Even today, deep into the age of prestige television, no series has ever been quite like Hannibal. (And before Hannibal, there was nothing to rival it either.) Hannibal is a TV show that transcends definition, effortlessly weaving together notes of grotesque horror, gorgeous surrealism, laugh-out-loud humor, sweeping romance, and fever-dream opera into a symphony that swallows your soul and consumes your mind. What could have easily been just another procedural in less deft hands than Fuller’s transformed into the most incredible meditation on love, otherness, queerness, and being seen. If you think I’m exaggerating and you have not yet witnessed the revelation of Hannibal, know that I’m not. And watch it IMMEDIATELY. Then you’ll see exactly why Hannibal belongs on the list of “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century.”

You can stream Hannibal on Pluto TV.

Fargo (2014), Selected by Mikey Walsh Fargo

Not including Fargo among the top 100 shows of the 21st century is a crime so absurd I’m surprised it didn’t happen at the end of a Fargo season premiere. The Coen Brothers’ iconic film should not have worked as a TV show. Instead, Noah Hawley’s black comedy crime drama has been among television’s best since it debuted. Even its one “down” season (the fourth) is still wildly entertaining. Meanwhile, its sublime second year has a legitimate case as the best season of TV ever made. It should have garnered a spot on this list by itself. The other fantastic seasons should have pushed it high on the list, dontcha know?

You can stream Fargo on Hulu.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005), Selected by Jess Harshbarger Nickelodeon

There are some television shows that come along once in a generation—if you’re lucky—that can redefine an entire genre of media. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those shows. A series that didn’t talk down to its younger viewers. A series that respected the cultures it based its world on, weaving those influences into the fabric of the universe seamlessly. It was a show in the ’00s with no white characters. Avatar: The Last Airbender taught us about genocide and the horrors of imperialism, while also teaching us the unshakeable importance of empathy, hope, and cross-cultural connection. It was infinitely compassionate to its characters, and Prince Zuko’s redemption arc remains a defining example of the trope. I could go on forever, but suffice it to say, Avatar: The Last Airbender has had tremendous staying power over the past twenty years, and still remains the bar for narrative in animation. This show taught me more about writing than just about any other piece of media I’ve ever watched. It absolutely should’ve made the cut for “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century” list.

You can stream Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix.

Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat (2022), Selected by Rotem Rusak AMC

Interview with the Vampire is one of the densest and most delicious TV shows out there. Its first two seasons are sheer perfection in deft storytelling, plot revelations, and incredible tension that contracts and explodes at exactly the right moments. The major bombs dropped at the end of both finales will leave you literally breathless. Of course, the caliber of acting MUST be praised. The series leads Jacob Anderson (Louis de Pointe du Lac), Sam Reid (Lestat de Lioncourt), Assad Zaman (Armand), and Eric Bogosian (Daniel Molloy) are all uniquely talented in their own, very different, right and exude singular chemistry when they’re in any permutation of scenes together. Season two, episode five, “Don’t Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape” might contain some of the best acting ever enacted on our screens. We also tip our hats to the great talents of Delainey Hayles and Bailey Bass, who brought the vampiress Claudia to life in the series.

AMC

Then, in season three, the series makes a screeching turn into the rockstar world of The Vampire Lestat. The careful unfurling of theater-like storytelling that is Interview with the Vampire becomes the wild, discordant waves of emotion that are Lestat. The story is electrified, and everything is amped up and sparking with feeling. As we’ve said before, The Vampire Lestat was an experience unlike anything we’ve had before on our screens. All three seasons of the show are also gloriously queer, which we cannot stress enough, really matters.

AMC

We must caveat, though, that we expect Bogosian’s Daniel Molloy and Zaman’s Armand to not only kiss, but have a beautiful love story in season four, The Queen of the Damned. And with that strongly held belief shared, we note that Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat/Queen of the Damned absolutely belong on “The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century” list. (Don’t let us down.)

You can stream Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat on AMC+ and Netflix.

Review (2014), Selected by Mikey Walsh Comedy Central

Andy Daly’s Review only ran for three seasons and 22 episodes, and yet it had more perfect installments than TV shows that ran much, much longer. It was a hilarious comedy that was often strangely moving thanks to its pairing of impeccable premise and likable star. Daly could make us laugh while simultaneously making us both mad, sad, and hopeful for Forrest MacNeil. Review is also responsible for some of the most truly inspired episodes in TV history, like “Pancakes; Divorce; Pancakes.” Not putting it on this list? We give that half-a-star. (If understand that rating you definitely agree with us it should have made the list.)

You can rent or buy Review on Prime Video.

Glow (2017), Selected by Eric Diaz Netflix

It’s fair to say the Top 100 Best TV Shows list, as it exists on The New York Times, skews toward male-led series. Not all, but it’s a lot. But one series that celebrated women and is criminally underrated was the Netflix dramedy GLOW, about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. On the surface, it might seem like just ‘80s nostalgia bait, catering to the pro wrestling crowd. But it was so much more than that. It was one of the strongest ensembles in recent years, with incredible lead performances anchored by Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron. This show explored everything from complex female friendships to sexism and bigotry in entertainment, to living in the ‘80s when AIDS was running rampant. The show was nominated for multiple awards, but ended on a cliffhanger when COVID killed the final season before it aired. And we’re still not over it. But it should 100% be acknowledged as one of the best shows of the past 25 years.

You can stream Glow on Netflix.

Quick Take

• The Resident Evil movie’s movement coordinator posted video footage of performers rehearsing to create the massive Merged Monster.
• The clips show different configurations of stunt and movement performers lashed together, standing back to back.
• Nerdist take: Cregger’s use of practical effects makes the movie more tangible, and you can’t get much more tangible than tying people together and asking them to move as a single entity.

Whether you thought it was a good video game adaptation or a poor one, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil swung for some fences. In addition to some good zombie stuff, the standout creature was an ever-growing mass of flesh and appendages. This thing, like a Koosh ball made of people, follows our hapless courier Bryan (Austin Abrams) through the entire movie. But, what is not perhaps immediately evident, like much of the rest of the movie, the film used real people to create the Merged Monster. And we know this because Jakub Hudlicky, the movement coordinator, posted rehearsal footage.

The clips show different configurations of stunt and movement performers lashed together, standing back to back. Flipping and/or cartwheeling end over end looks kind of fun, but in the context of the movie, it’s terrifying. It’s actually more upsetting with fewer people. Several of the slides in the Instagram post feature a Merged Monster made up of three people. Tumbling like a wagon wheel is just the right level of uncanny weirdness if you ask me.

The videos come from July of 2025, right at the beginning of production. The team’s first job was to determine exactly how the Merged Monster would move. If you’ve seen the final product, it seems like most of the preliminary rehearsals found their way into it. This also gives a good indicator that, should they ever choose to, creatures from games like Inside and Carrion could also easily make their way to live-action movie screens.

Sony/Movement Production Instagram

I was a big fan of Resident Evil. In specific, the way Cregger and company utilized real locations, sets, and effects where possible. It made the body horror much more tangible. And you can’t get much more tangible than literally tying people together and asking them to move as a single entity.

Quick Take

• The most important new scene from Avengers Endgame: Encore features a catastrophic moment from the TVA.
• From incursions to the Tree of Life, Loki will have a huge impact on Avengers: Doomsday.
• Nerdist’s Take: While we don’t know why the multiverse is collapsing, we’ll understand the answers when we get them in Avengers: Doomsday.
• Learn More: Dive into Avengers Endgame: Encore‘s other important scene.

Avengers Endgame: Encore features four extra scenes, but one is far more important for Avengers: Doomsday than the others. A sequence at the TVA shows the multiverse “collapsing” as incursions “terminate” thousands of worlds. The new Avengers: Endgame TVA scene sets up Doctor Doom’s attack on the multiverse by undoing the end of Loki season 2. How and why? Here’s what you need to remember from the Disney+ Loki series to understand why the Avengers: Endgame Encore TVA moment is a big deal for every dimension.

Marvel Studios

When He Who Remains (also known as Kang the Conqueror) and his variants first discovered the multiverse in the 31st century. They then waged a violent war for control over every world. Their battle nearly destroyed all of existence in the process. He Who Remains emerged victorious, but since time is circular he needed to ensure the same war wouldn’t erupt again and again. To do that, he created the Sacred Timeline and the TVA. It bundled every dimension into one plane with each world piled on top of one another. The TVA then monitored the Sacred Timeline for any unauthorized branches that threatened the stability of the multiverse.

In the MCU, branches formed when certain variants caused “nexus events,” or events not in keeping with the vision of the Sacred Timeline, TVA agents stop the branching by sending those variants to the Void, last seen in Deadpool & Wolverine. If necessary, the TVA would also prune an entire branch.

Marvel Studios

In Loki, we learned that He Who Remains was tired after overseeing the TVA for millennia and hoped Loki and Sylvie would replace him. He promised that the Machiavellian nature of the TVA was a far lesser evil than his variants and the threat of another Multiversal War. Sylvie didn’t agree, but Loki couldn’t see another option. At least not at first. He eventually realized that he could allow all timelines to be free and flourish by accepting his “glorious purpose.” He sacrificed himself and became the God of Stories at the end of time. There, alone, seemingly forever, he gathered every timeline together. But rather than a rigid Sacred Timeline, he weaved them into Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life.

The TVA remained to monitor He Who Remains’ variants, but Scott Lang and allies defeated Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. His variants then seemed ready to wage a new multiversal war together, but that story ended when Disney fired Jonathan Majors following two convictions in his domestic violence trial.

Marvel Studios

Deadpool & Wolverine revealed Loki’s Tree of Life did not save every world forever. Wade Wilson’s dimension was eventually going to die after losing its “anchor being,” Wolverine. (You can read more about why “anchor beings” are important enough that their death can lead to an entire world being lost.) That wasn’t supposed to happen for thousands of years, but an impatient TVA agent working in secret wanted to hurry the process along. Turns out a rogue employee was not the biggest concern for the the agency. Avengers Endgame: Encore showed the TVA didn’t even see the next multiversal catastrophe on the horizon.

In the new Avengers Endgame: Encore TVA scene, Owen Wilson’s Mobius and his fellow TVA employees are shocked to see an unexpected incursion taking place. An incursion, introduced to the MCU in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is one of the most important concepts to know for Avengers: Doomsday. It’s when two different worlds slam into one another. The collision results in the complete destruction of either one or both dimensions, killing trillions in the process.

Marvel Studios

The incursion that Mobius first saw in Avengers Endgame: Encore was taking place between the X-Men world of Earth-10005 and Earth-1127. Before they collided, though, the two Earths began firing on one another. We know the result of this Endgame clash already; Earth-10005 wins that existential showdown because the X-Men will play huge roles in Avengers: Doomsday.

That incursion was not the only one that caught the TVA off guard in this new Endgame scene. The monitor showing the Tree of Life turned red as incursions “terminated” worlds. Within seconds, 3,000 took place, leading Ke Huy Quan’s TVA engineer, Ouroboros, to say, “The multiverse is collapsing.”

Marvel Studios

Loki’s sacrifice to give the multiverse and its infinite worlds freedom to exist wasn’t a permanent solution. The end of Kang did not save it, either. The end of Loki season two ultimately leads to a new kind of Multiversal War in Avengers: Doomsday. It’s one that Victor von Doom will try to win.

In Avengers: Doomsday, we’ll find out exactly what caused the multiverse to collapse. The evidence points to Steve Rogers’ time travel and relationship with Peggy. Loki himself might hasten the issues by moving the couple to another world. Avengers Endgame: Encore‘s TVA scene begins with Miss Minutes telling everyone to stay in their own world lest they’re hunted “like dogs.” Clearly, leaving your world, even if it’s fated for destruction, for another causes problems across the entire multiverse. But whatever answers we get for why Doctor Doom is coming, you’ll now understand them.
