Making it to Complex’s top album of 2024 ahead of Gunna, Charlie XcX, Glorilla, J.Cole, and Kanye West (Ye) are part of Nigeria’s greatest music talent exports, Tems and Ayra Starr.

Sitting at number 14 is Tems ‘Born in the Wild, and Ayra Starr’s ‘The Year I Turned 21’ is at number 12.

14. Tems, Born in the Wild

Released on the 7th of June, in the article it was stated “But even when Tems was behind the scenes, she faced betrayal and growing pains, which tested the resilience that encapsulates her storytelling on Born In the Wild. She flawlessly makes a 1997 Seyi Sodimu staple her own on the amorous track “Love Me JeJe.” Elsewehere, she looks for a bad boy who can match her freak over the rhythmic acoustics of “Gangsta.” And she comes to grips with her regret of becoming a romantic avoidant when confronted by collaborator J. Cole on “Free Fall.” Tems gets real with her internal struggles and doesn’t run from herself.“

12. Ayra Starr, The Year I Turned 21

Ayra Starr is described as: “She doesn’t mince her words on opener “Birds Sing of Money,” popping off saucy lines like “I don’t watch my tone ’cause I like how I sound, bitch,” because time is, well, money. When social media tried to instigate a feud between Starr and Grammy winner Coco Jones, they joined each other and Brazilian artist Anitta on the feminist war cry “Woman Commando.” As sultry as she is sharp, Starr takes control on 21. It’s only up from here.“

To reboot DC on screen, James Gunn—co-CEO at DC—will be banking on the success of the first DCU slate, Creature Commandos and Superman (Legacy). Yesterday the Creature Commandos launched the new DCU as a “soft intro” to the bigger story.

If you enjoy The Guardians of The Galaxy franchise, The Suicide Squad, or Peacemaker, then you will enjoy Creature Commandos, which has the same tone (of rogues doing something good) that is maintained. The adult animation blends gory fights and mature comedy that you can relate to, similar to Family Guy, Harley Quinn, and Hit Monkey.

To understand the show, you need to understand how Canon works when it comes to rebooting in DC. Until it is mentioned or referenced, nothing is canon. What’s canon so far includes Rick Flag Jr.’s death, Adebayo’s outing Waller’s Task Force X project, and a bunch of subtle things (watch Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad to get the references).

In my opinion, there are parts of the show that seem unnecessary; for example, James Gunn animated in the intro (which was later clarified as a surprise he later went with). Rick Flag’s relationship with the princess and how short each episode is are my major concerns.

Aside from the first episode, which feels weird, episodes 2 through 7 seem to properly introduce each character with a backstory.

Creature Commandos Episode 1 & 2 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed

Themyscira is a rumoured place in the DCU.

In a GBS News report when describing the events of Circe and the Sons of Themyscira, the Amazons were mentioned. In the New52 comics, The Sons of Themyscira are the male children of the Amazons who were abandoned at birth. The news anchor described Themyscira as a “perhaps mythical, perhaps real” place. This gives a better understanding of the timeline of the DCU.

It is important to note that GBS is a company owned by one of Superman’s villains, Morgan Edge. It’s a cable service and phone service in Metropolis.

Circe and Superman might have met.

Circe is an exiled sorceress from Themyscira, and via news reports, we can assume she attacked Metropolis, which led to her encounter with Superman. Circe would later be arrested by the Metropolis Police Department, home of Superman.

Rap battle meme

The Sons of Themyscira referenced the famous “Supa hot fire rap battle” meme.

GBS News anchor

The GBS News Reporter is voiced by an actual American journalist, known as Jake Tapper, a popular CNN News host.

Adebayo did expose her mother.

Rick Flag Sr., in a conversation with Waller, mentioned Waller’s daughter exposing Project Starfish. What this means is that the events of Peacemaker Season 1 are canon. At the end of Season One, Leota Adebayo exposed Project Starfish, forcing Congress to place a ban on using humans for Task Force. Amanda Waller, being herself, used this loophole to make A.R.G.U.S. shift from using humans to monsters.

Jason and the Argonauts

Rick Flag, Sr. refers to Doctor Phosphorus as Jason and the Argonauts, a reference to the classic movie with the same name.

The Bride was born in 1831.

The Bride in the DCU was created as a wife for Frankenstein, but their relationship was never manifested as she developed feelings for her maker, Victor. Victor was then murdered by Frankenstein, who later stalked and chased her for over 200 years.

The year the bride holds a historic value in the real world is the same year Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, the book, revised edition was released.

Ultra Bunny is back!

Ultra Bunny is a fictional character in the DCU. It appeared on Rick Flag Jr.’s shirt in a couple of scenes in Peacemaker, and now on Frankenstein’s shirt with the same slogan, “Obstacles are opportunities.”

Slither/Nina Mazursky

The scene where Nina was in the bathtub referenced the movie Slither (2006). It is a science fiction comedy horror film written and directed by James Gunn.

Superman will die…?

In the season trailer, via a vision by Circe, it was revealed there is a future where Superman, Mr. Terrific, Starfire, Captain Atom, and Peacemaker will die.

Shaggy is canon

During The Bride’s flashback and origin scene, we were able to understand the relationship between The Bride and Frankenstein. Shaggy from Scooby-Doo appears in the flashback sequence.

Pokolistan

Pokolistan is a fictional country located in Eastern Europe, broken off from the Czech Republic. In the comics, they had secret deals with President Lex Luthor.

The Bride reads ‘Young Love.’

The Bride is spotted reading an issue of ‘Young Love’ in Belle Reeve prison. Young Love was a real romance comic, published by Crestwood/Prize, and was later sold to DC Comics. It ran through the 1950s and 60s.

How old are the Rick Flags?

Rick Flag Sr. mentioned he and his ex-wife had their son when they were in the military at 18 years old. Rick Flag Jr. died in Corto Maltese by Peacemaker during Project Starfish.

Frankenstein’s dialogue

In episode 2, Frankenstein directly quoted Mary Shelley’s 1818 Frankenstein edition book. “Shall each man find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?” In the book, The Bride is never born. Victor discards her body parts out of fear.

Ratings: 4.5/5

I want to believe most of us grew up with DC or, at the least, have consumed DC content; I know I did. When I was a kid, I used to have a sense of joy calling myself a fan of DC, but this past decade, it’s more than embarrassing watching what DC has turned to, especially in this MCU world we live in.

Warner Bros. and DC executives sometimes forget they sit on a gold mine of IPs, and it’s a shame we have to rotate between Superman and Batman repeatedly. Filmmakers have tried to do justice to these characters, but to the audience, it’s the same story. DC has continuity issues; the DCEU (Extended Universe), DCAU (Animated Universe), or all iterations of the film and TV universe all meet the same fate. CANCELLED.

Don’t get me wrong; DC has some successful projects, but it’s time they do something stable, and this is where James Gunn and Peter Safran come in. As a fan observing from the outside, looking in, it’s fascinating to see that they are finally getting a creative head, and hopefully, they get it right.

On January 31st, 2023, James Gunn announced the start of a new DC, the DCU, a reboot of everything DC on film, TV, and gaming. His vision includes the continuity of Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, a new Superman film, the Lantern shows, and many more. Today is the start of that universe.

What do you need to watch to understand this universe?

To be honest, nothing. If you’ve watched or consumed any DC content, then you should understand what “reboot,” “continuity,” or “canon” is in the context of DC. If not, let me explain. When you reboot a universe, you are not necessarily starting over but moving the story in a better direction, resulting in the issue of continuity. How do you move what we’re following and enjoying? What are you bringing into this universe?

This new universe will include nods to some of the events of the DCEU, such as Peacemaker Season 1, The Suicide Squad, and Blue Beetle.

Peacemaker: James Gunn recently mentioned that the events of Peacemaker remain canon aside from the scene where the Justice League showed up. He explained that, in his DCU, the Justice League is yet to be formed.

The Suicide Squad: [Spoilers] In Creature Commandos, Weasel survived, and Rick Flag Jr. is still dead.

Blue Beetle: I’m still unsure, but with the announcement of a Blue Beetle animated TV show with the same actors, I want to believe the origin of Blue Beetle will remain canon.

The Timeline

The events of Creature Commandos begin two years after The Suicide Squad and just before Superman (Legacy).

Creature Commandos takes the same tone as The Suicide Squad but with monsters. If you’re done with that tone, it’s understandable not to watch Creature Commandos. James Gunn has announced the defining moment to begin the DCU starts with Superman.

Then why start Creature Commandos now?

James Gunn told fans he greenlit Creature Commandos after he became DC Co-CEO. He explained he wrote Creature Commandos after The Suicide Squad. Critics may argue that Creature Commandos, being the same tone as previous Marvel/DC work, will never be greenlit.

Will DCU remain permanent?

Previously, executives and creatives did not always agree on the way forward, which is why most projects get shelved. Giving Warner Bros. Discovery state, if David, James, and Peter continue to agree, the DCU is projected to be a success.

Your only excuse should be that you’re on a remote island with no access to the internet and don’t notice the wave of new talents in the Nigerian music industry. The wave is led by those I will consider the latest Big 4, starring Ayra Starr, Asake, Rema, and Tems. These talents have well-crafted and mastered the art of making good music, and it’s high time they get their flowers.

The Rolling Stone’s 2024 Top Albums List, released on Monday, features Rema’s ‘Heis,’ Tems’ ‘Born in the Wild,’ and Ayra Starr’s ‘The Year I Turned 21.’

Ranking them, we have:

Rema’s second studio album, ‘Heis,‘ was ranked 11th overall. The album recently received a Grammy nomination for Best Global Album Performance.

Description: “Rema has taken to calling his own style of Afrobeats “Afro-rave,” in the tradition of Burna Boy and the like who have fought to differentiate themselves from what became a catchall for African music in general. Yet, there was no real sonic signifier for Rema’s Afro-wave — he seamlessly traverses hip-hop, house, R&B, and dancehall. Heis sounds more like a rave than almost anything Rema has made prior (excluding the excellent loosey “Bounce,” for example, raging while everything else simmers. The result is the buzzy, visceral, sweat-it-out music that no one else in the mainstream is making.”

Tems’ debut album, ‘Born in the Wild,‘ ranked 37th overall. Tems, whose voice is captivating, earned Grammy nominations for both ‘Best African Music Performance’ and ‘Best Global Music Album.’

Description: “Tems has already remade Nigerian pop in her own image. Her debut album measures the soul work it’s taken to get here. All of it has paid off on an album so rich that the listening experience is a physical one as much as it is emotional. “Wickedest” is primed for the dance floor, while the single “Love Me Jeje” is a masterpiece, soaked in the sun and major-key dopamine. Her vision is made timeless via a seamless blend of stripped-down ballads, the cool of 1990s R&B with flecks of SWV and Sade, joyous high life, Afro-dance music like amapiano, and rugged hip-hop.”

Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,′ ranked 53rd on the list according to Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone describes it as:
“With the follow-up to her 2021 debut, Ayra Starr asserts a musical maturity that could be considered far beyond her years, but perhaps more aptly serves as a reminder of the emotional depth, logical prowess, and enviable passion young people often possess. Across it, Starr refreshes tried-and-true Afrobeats elements with the type of songwriting that SZA fans flock to, darting between Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, and English with endless finesse and attitude in all three languages.”

I, for one, am glad for the recognition of Nigerian musical talents on a global stage, and this should continue for a long time. Last year the list featured legends like Mr. Eazi, Burna Boy, Adekunle Gold, and Asake.

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie has publicly reiterated what matters to her above all… Motherhood.

While speaking on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan to promote her upcoming film, Maria, Angelina Jolie expressed how she feels about her kids describing it as something similar to Maria Callas’s passion for singing.

The actress told Strahan that motherhood is happiness: “You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters.”

Maria is a biopic about the opera singer, Maria Calles portrayed by Angelina Jolie. The movie also stars legendary actors Haluk Bilginer, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alba Rohrwacher, and Valeria Golino directed by Pablo Larraín.

She and ex-husband Brad Pitt share six kids: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16-year-old twins.

Jolie’s two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, worked with her on Maria as assistant directors, which described the experience as “amazing” despite having no interest in being seen on camera yet. “They’re quite private. Shiloh’s extremely private. They weren’t born with privacy, right? So I hope they can have that as they grow,” she said.

The Eternals star has always been outspoken on motherhood and the importance of education.

“I’m somebody who has tried to have a better education on foreign policy. I think of the amount of times it’s been summarized, ‘You’re an artist, but you also use your voice,’ you feel like, that’s just being a person,” she said. “I’m trying to understand what is happening within our world, why so many things are the way they are. I’m trying to understand how to best be a guide for my children, to make sure that they are good people. I don’t often feel like I’m doing enough. So when you say, ‘You use your voice,’ I feel like there are so many things I don’t quite know how to do or say at this time.”

Angelina Jolie underwent vocal training for her performance as Callas in Maria—a process that her kids were apparently witnesses to. “All of my children suffered through my early opera singing in the house before I got kinda good,” she recalled, adding jokingly, “which was a nightmare.”

Congratulations to Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form. The 38-year-old White Lotus star announced the birth of their newborn baby.

Alexandra Daddario made the birth of her child through a whimsical Halloween Instagram post. She shared a picture of her child in a bowl with some candy on him with the caption, “I thought this was a weird bowl of candy.”

The gender of her child is yet to be revealed.

The actress immediately received in bulk congratulatory messages:

“Congrats!!!!!!!!!” from sydney_sweeney

“A Halloween baby????? That’s the coolest thing ever!” from jacquelinegavriel

“CONGRATS GIRLYYYYY” from rachelzegler

“Best candy to nibble on!!” from michellemonaghan

Earlier this year, Daddario opened up about her pregnancy, explaining her “complicated” feelings after previously suffering a miscarriage.

“I’m pregnant and it’s all successful and everything’s healthy. ” She continued to share the emotional toll of her previous loss, stating, “I had been pregnant. Then I had a loss. It’s long and complicated, so I don’t want to be too specific.”

“Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them.” “I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn’t understand fully before. It’s very, very painful.”

The creative director, Brian Horton, for one of the most anticipated games, Marvel’s Wolverine, will now work with the team making Perfect Dark for Xbox. In a report by Game File, Brian left Insomniac to work on the Perfect Dark reboot game, currently in development by Microsoft’s The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics.

Brian, who previously worked on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider, hasn’t worked on Marvel’s Wolverine for some time. Meanwhile, Wolverine’s game director, Cameron Christian, will be working at Insomniac.

An Xbox spokesperson told Game File that Brian is “bringing his wealth of experience to the upcoming reboot of the classic Secret Agent series.”

A new creative director for Wolverine, Marcus Smith and game Director, Mike Daly are reportedly the new hires. Both Mike and Marcus are known for their work on the 2021 game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Though Marvel’s Wolverine was first announced in 2021, neither game has an official release window. The Wolverine is to be released for PS5 and reportedly in the same universe as the Spider-Man game.
