Most heroes are two or three steps removed from Sombra's mystery conspiracy, but Reinhardt is unusually close to it — directly linked to someone who's directly linked to it. Nobody's said out loud who that connection actually is yet, which makes it one of the more intriguing loose threads in the whole story.
The original's opening line called Gossip Girl your source into the 'scandalous lives' of Manhattan's elite. The reboot deliberately swapped that to 'scandalous lies,' a small tweak the writers say was meant to reflect a more skeptical, social-media-soaked generation of teens.
World at War's voice work was handled through a company called Womb Music under voice director Margaret Tang, and the game even had a full separate French-language voice cast recorded, led by actor Serge Thiriet in the Reznov role for that version.
Naughty Dog ran production more like a movie set than a typical game shoot. They had a dedicated stage at Sony Pictures Studios where actors performed motion capture and recorded dialogue at the exact same time, cast together in the room doing full rehearsals before locking in final takes.
Once Baal got his claws into the Worldstone and started twisting it to his own ends, Tyrael made the call that nobody wanted to make: shatter it rather than risk Sanctuary falling entirely.

For all its box office dominance, this is actually the first Batman feature film where the word 'Batman' doesn't appear anywhere in the title itself.
Daniel Kaluuya is Camden born and raised, and he leaned hard into that for Spider-Punk's voice, bringing his own London slang and cadence to the role instead of putting on a generic accent. The filmmakers basically told him to just talk like himself, and it shows.
After taking in the defeated Snow Elves as refugees, the Dwemer forced them to eat a toxic fungus as a staple part of their diet, permanently blinding them and their descendants, before enslaving them entirely, ultimately shaping them into the Falmer creatures found underground today.
Real hobbits are meant to stand around 3'6", so Weta had to fake that constantly. Every hobbit actor had a scale double of that exact height, and depending on the shot, you might be looking at the double's whole body with the actor's face digitally added on top.
During the grim final stretch through the Firefly hospital, keep an eye on the eye test charts hanging on the walls. One of them isn't random letters at all - it spells out 'RUN YOU R NEARLY THERE DON'T QUIT!!', a bit of dark encouragement for players white-knuckling their way to the ending.
