June 27, 2025

Most TVs on the market today are smart TVs — but there are still a few compelling reasons to get a streaming device. These sticks and set-top boxes let you access a user interface that might be easier to suss out than the built-in one on your set. In the case of older or cheaper TVs, a streaming device could make your TV feel faster, too. You may also find streaming sticks convenient for travel, letting you access all your streaming services on a hotel or Vrbo TV set without typing in a ton of passwords. We tested out streaming players from Roku, Google, Apple, Amazon and more, gauging the usability and the performance of each one to help you find the best streaming device for your cord-cutting needs.

The Google Chromecast product line was replaced with the Google TV Streamer in September of 2024. There’s no HD model, only 4K this time around and the going price is $100, which is double the price of the most recent 4K Chromecast. Instead of a dongle that hides behind your TV, it’s now a set-top wedge.

Inside, there’s a faster processor, which kept up with my scattered testing methods — opening and closing apps then reloading them immediately — with no trouble. The Apple TV 4K is still the fastest of the streamers I’ve tried, but I don’t think the speed here will disappoint most people. The storage has jumped up to 32GB from a skimpy 8GB on the Chromecast and the memory is doubled at 4GB. It supports up to 4K/60fps video with HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Audio formats include Dolby Digital and Dolby Atmos along with spatial audio if you’re wearing the Pixel Buds Pro.

The remote control is compact and streamlined; the D-pad handles navigation, play, pause and rewind. Of course there’s also a back button (as you’d find on any good Android device). And if you ever lose the pill-shaped remote, you can push a button on the back of the set-top wedge to make it ring.

Google has made its Home app an integral part of the streamer. Not only will you use it to set up your device, but you can also use the streamer to view a slideout home panel on your TV screen (that looks a lot like the Favorites tab in the app). The panel lets you control your compatible smart home devices so you can set temperatures, turn off lights, view feeds and so on. You can even do so while you’re watching something if you program the star button on the remote to pull up the Home panel.

What really makes the Google TV 4K Streamer the best for all-in-one steaming is the interface. It’s basically the same as what you’ll find on any TV set or screen that comes with Google TV built in. I find Google’s presentation to be the best at pulling together content from different streaming apps into one useful and intuitive menu. It’ll track what you’ve been watching across different platforms so you can easily dive back in, and the recommendations are pulled fairly equitably from across your subscribed services.

Of course, no big tech company can release a product today without some AI contrivance and it comes here in the form of computer-generated plot and audience review summaries for titles. It’ll also generate screensaver images based on your prompts. Those are fine and all, though probably not worth it. The real reason to go for the Google TV Streamer is the helpful interface combined with performance that’s faster than most of the sticks on the market. And if you’re someone who uses Google Home for your smart home control, you’ll get even more out of this device.

Pros

Excellent interface combines all streaming content equally
Useful smart home control with a slide-out paneluseful
Attractive device with a great remote

Cons

Required HDMI cable issold separately
Double the price of its predecessor

Read our full Roku Streaming Stick Plus review

Believe it or not, the streaming world has enough free content to keep even the most voracious watchers entertained — and the Roku Streaming Stick Plus is probably the best way to access it. Roku’s interface is uncluttered, with a simple list at the left and an app grid on the right. Two of those list items, Live TV and Featured Free, are stuffed with free content, both on linear channels and video-on-demand (VOD) services. The Roku Channel app adds thousands more series, films, Roku Originals and live channels to watch without subscribing to a dang thing.

Roku updated its streaming device selection this year and now there are five in total, with one Streambar, the set-top Roku Ultra and three Streaming Sticks. The $40 Streaming Stick Plus is a direct replacement for the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and it has the best mix of features for the price. The slim design hides behind your TV and doesn’t require power from a wall outlet, just a USB port on your TV. It supports 4K and HDR as well as Apple Air Play 2 and works with Alexa, HomeKit, Google Home and Roku Home. The included voice remote can control your TVs power and volume as well.

It doesn’t support Dolby Vision and lacks the Wi-Fi extender that the Streaming Stick 4K has built in. If your TV can display that higher picture quality or if your Wi-Fi signal could use a boost in getting to your TV, you might want to upgrade to the 4K model.

I find Roku’s universal search function to be accurate when looking for specific titles; pushing the Voice button and saying “Poker Face” brings up results for the Peacock show, the Russell Crowe movie and a poker documentary from a free channel. Saying “Succession” gets you the show from Max as well as listings for other series and films with “success” in the title. It was pretty good at finding suggestions for more general searches, like “police procedural shows” and “Idris Elba,” though it had issues with recommendations for kids movies (not enough Disney+ results, in my opinion).

Navigation is speedy with minimal load times between apps. The remote has a nice layout with a large back button and the volume rocker on the side. The handy Instant Replay button jumps back 10 to 20 seconds and can even show subtitles for the replayed portion, if the app supports it. The only thing I didn’t love was the What to Watch menu, which was overwhelmingly populated with free content and had a minimal amount of titles sprinkled in from my paid apps. But since free content is where Roku really shines, I can’t be too miffed. — A.S.

Pros

Built-in access to tons of free content
Accurate universal search
Supports 4K, HDR, TV controls and voice input
Doesn’t require a wall adapter for power

Cons

What to Watch menu ignores content from other streamers

Towards the end of 2024, Amazon replaced the Fire TV Stick Lite and the standard Fire TV Stick with the Fire TV Stick HD. It has the same internal hardware and supports the same 1080p at 60 fps as the Lite but the remote can now control the power and volume on your TV — something the Lite couldn’t do.

The price went up by $5 as well, making the list price $35. Still, as it’s often on sale for $25 and lower, it’s one of the cheaper streaming sticks on the market. We tested the original Lite model for this guide, and our biggest complaint was the lack of control for our TV’s power and volume — using two remotes was a tad annoying, so it’s good to see that flaw remedied. If you don’t have a 4K TV, or don’t watch a ton of 4K content, this will save you a good chunk of change over the $50 Fire TV Stick 4K.

The HD’s remote not only controls the TV, it also lets you use Alexa to search for shows and ask general questions like the weather forecast or the latest scores for your favorite sports team. Amazon’s Fire TV interface supports all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, Max, YouTube and Live TV providers like Sling, YouTube TV and Fubo.

Despite its low price, the Fire TV Stick HD is a decent streaming dongle. It comes with the updated Fire TV interface that has user profiles and and a navigation that’s better at integrating different content that it was before. Finding apps and shows is easy enough, though the layout isn’t as unified as Google TV’s and is more complicated than Roku’s. One thing to note is that Amazon’s interface prioritizes Prime Video content, and you’ll see a lot more ads here than on other streaming platforms.

Pros

Affordable
Supports all major streaming services
Updated remote can control your TV’s power and volume

Cons

No 4K content support
UI heavily favors Amazon Prime Video content

Roku

The Roku Express was replaced by this Streaming Stick earlier this year. It has the same interface as all Roku devices, which we find easy to navigate and particularly good at letting you access free and live content. This model doesn’t support 4K or HDR but, unlike the retired Express model, the remote supports voice input and can control your TV’s power and volume. If you don’t have a 4K TV and all you need is a capable HD streaming device at a low price, the $30 Streaming Stick fits the bill. —A.S.

Pros

Affordable
Lots of free and live content

Cons

No 4K streaming support
No voice remote

Roku updated its most advanced streamer, the Roku Ultra, in 2024, giving it a faster processor, Wi-Fi 6 compatibility and a brand new remote. Like the previous generation, it supports 4K HDR10/10+ streaming, 100 Mbps Ethernet connection, Bluetooth streaming, AirPlay2 connectivity and voice commands with Alexa, Google Home and Roku Smart Home. The previous model had a microSD slot for external media, now there’s a USB port for local playback.

I used the Ultra for about a month and was impressed with the speed, image quality and the new remote — plus a couple of perks I hadn’t expected. The 4K TV I used for testing was new to me and whoever had watched it before had set it to 1080p. During setup, the Ultra prompted me to head to the TVs settings to adjust the video quality. It was a nice touch and not something all players do.

Flipping from app to app was nearly instantaneous. Changing my mind with the back button immediately returned to the home screen. I experienced no buffering issues or audio synching troubles and pairing up Bluetooth headphones was fast with glitch-free performance.

I really liked the new remote. Pick it up and the backlight kicks in, making it easy to control in a darkened room. Since it’s equipped with an always-on mic for hands-free voice control (you can turn it off right on the remote) you can say, “Hey Roku, where’s the remote?” and it’ll start ringing. Even with the Roku and TV off, you can just say “Hey Roku, open Netflix” to turn on your TV and start up the app. A backlight and always-on feature will obviously drain the battery quicker, but in a month of using the remote, I only had to recharge it once, which is easy to do via USB-C.

The voice control function didn’t perform more complicated functions as easily, though. With the TV off, I asked it to continue playing a show I’d been watching and it turned on my PS5. While on the Roku home screen, I asked it to continue playing Gravity Falls, and was told there was no content to continue playing, even though my kid had been watching the show the day before. I often had better luck just holding down the mic button and speaking a search request as I’m used to doing with other players. The search function was accurate most of the time, presenting the correct movie or show and taking me to the app when I clicked on what I wanted.

Of course, as we said about the other Roku device on our list, the OS here is best at finding and presenting free and live content, with a live TV channel guide, a Featured Free content tab, a What to Watch section packed with stuff from no-cost providers like Tubi, plus the brand’s own Roku Channel. If you’re a fan of the Roku experience and want to get the most out of a higher-end TV, the Ultra is the set-top box to get. — A.S.

Pros

Excellent remote
High-quality video and audio
Lots of access to free and live content
USB port for playing local media
HDMI cable is included

Cons

Voice control struggles with complex requests
Interface is better at free content than organizing your paid apps

Operating system: Apple tvOS | Connectivity: HDMI, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth | Voice control: Yes | Resolution: up to 4K | Supported formats: Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10+, Apple Lossless | Smart home compatibility: HomeKit | Ambient Mode: No | Headphone compatible: Yes, via Bluetooth, Spatial Audio avail. with AirPods | TV power/volume control: Yes

When my colleague Devindra Hardawar reviewed the latest gen of the Apple TV 4K upon its debut in 2022, he called it “the best streaming box by a long shot.” In terms of picture quality, speed, longevity and Apple-engineered extras, that remains accurate. The set-top box supports 4K Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which makes compatible content look, to borrow Devindra’s term, glorious.

The A15 Bionic chip inside enables near-instantaneous loading of and switching between apps. Zooming from the beginning of an episode to the end or anywhere in between is not only quick, but also quite easy to do once you get the hang of the touch-sensitive directional pad on the Siri remote. Apple improved the box hardware over the previous generation, too, with a smaller, fan-less design.

You don’t have to be an Apple devotee to appreciate the streaming box, but having an iPhone makes setup easier, letting you hold your iOS handset near the device to transfer credentials. If you use the Fitness+ app with an Apple Watch, not only can you watch workouts on a big screen, you’ll see live heart rate stats splashed in the corner as well. The app library is extensive, covering all of the most popular streaming services, plus countless Apple Arcade and other games. The remote’s Siri button lets you easily search for stuff to watch with voice commands, and typically gets you to the right app immediately. I found it nearly as good as other devices in suggesting content for more general queries like “sci-fi space movies.”

If you were waiting for the “but,” here it is: the Apple TV 4K is expensive. The base model is $129, which comes with 32GB of storage. The 128GB model goes for $149 and adds an Ethernet port and acts as a Thread-enabled home hub, a requirement for certain smart home devices. Also, if you’re looking for lots of free channels and live programming with an all-in-one home page to unify your disparate streaming subscriptions, this isn’t quite it.

The Apple TV app incorporates recently watched series into the Up Next section and your most-used apps appear in the Channels and Apps row. But the homepage is mostly a showcase for Apple TV+ series and movies. And don’t expect to see much in the way of Netflix content in the app either. Possibly due to a continuing grudge match between the two companies, Siri even has trouble finding Netflix shows at all — searching for Lupin only came back with results from the anime franchise and when I asked for All the Light We Cannot See, the AI turned off my smart lights. Finally, this premium streaming device doesn’t come with the HDMI cable required to hook it up to your TV. That’s a minor detail in the grand scheme of things, but it did cause me to fling grownup words in Cupertino’s general direction. — A.S.

Pros

Extremely fast operation
Apple Fitness+ and Arcade on a big screen
Support for 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision content

Cons

Expensive
Apple TV app heavily favors Apple TV+ content
Sub-par Netflix searches

NVIDIA

For those who want an all-in-one device that lets you stream movies, run a PLEX media server and play games, consider NVIDIA’s Shield TV Pro. It currently runs Android TV, which is a little outdated at this point, but there’s a possibility that it could be upgraded to Google TV in the future.

Thanks to its capable Tegra X1+ processor, the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro can stream in native 4K and it can also upscale 720p and 1080p video to 4K with the company’s AI neural network. It also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, has 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and two USB-C ports. Additionally, there’s a gigabit Ethernet port, an HDMI socket and a microSD card slot. Since it runs on Android, you can use it to play most games from the Google Play Store.

The main reason you’d choose the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro over other machines is that it gives you access to NVIDIA’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service. As long as you have a relatively speedy internet connection, you can play top-tier PC games that are streamed online to your Shield TV Pro. —N.L.

Pros

Supports 4K, HDR10 and Dolby Vision content
Provides access to NVIDIA’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service
Built-in Google Assistant support

$197 at Amazon

Microsoft

Even though both Sony’s PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X can stream video, it’s the Xbox that we think is the best gaming console for the job. It can play 4K Blu-Rays and supports all of the usual streaming video apps including Apple TV+ and Disney+. However, the PS5 can’t stream Disney+ Dolby Atmos, which is disappointing if you ever want to watch The Mandalorian in all its cinematic glory.

Fortunately, that’s not the case with the Xbox Series X. On top of that, the Xbox Series X (and S) also support Dolby Vision for streaming video, which is especially great for people with newer TVs. Of course, the Xbox is also a pretty great gaming machine, and it offers access to Game Pass, Microsoft’s subscription service that has a large library of titles. —N.L.

Pros

Provides access to all major streaming services
Plays 4K Blu-Rays

$540 at Amazon

Amazon

Our budget pick from Amazon doesn’t support 4K image quality or Dolby Atmos. Amazon’s higher-end Fire TV Stick 4K Max not only handles Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 4K and HDR10+, but it also supports Wi-Fi 6E. That means if you have a router that also carries the protocol, you could see better and faster connectivity.

The 4K Max has the fastest processor of any Fire TV Stick (the Amazon Fire TV Cube is faster, but isn’t a stick), and we found it plenty zippy. The 4K Max even supports a fairly pleasant Ambient Experience, displaying art (and widgets) when the screen is idle, like on Samsung’s The Frame. It also lets Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers play games via the app without an Xbox Series X or S console.

I’ll also point out that Engadget’s Jeff Dunn has gotten a lot of use from the stick as a retro gaming emulator. That’s a decent amount of utility from a $60 device (that’s often on sale for around $45).

That said, Amazon’s Fire TV interface is less elegant (and less democratic) than other UIs, highly prioritizing Prime Video content. It’s also notably ad-stuffed — promoting not just Amazon’s content, but products as well. — A.S.

Pros

Affordable 4K streaming
Additional gaming access

Cons

Ad-stuffed interface
Prioritizes Prime Video content

What to look for in a TV streaming device

Operating system and interface

Google’s TV Streamer, the Apple TV 4K, Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks and Roku devices are the most popular players in the space. Three of those brands also come built into TVs, such as Fire, Google and Roku TVs, but the Apple TV 4K doesn’t come pre-loaded on any set. Each one has a unique operating system and interface. This may be the biggest deciding factor for many people, as it determines how the home entertainment you want to watch is arranged and presented. We go into detail for each platform below, but all of them come with home screens that, to varying degrees, gather your apps in one place, present the movies and TV shows you’re currently watching and give you suggestions of other media streaming options.

Nearly all streaming devices come with a remote that lets you search and do other operations using your voice, eliminating the need to hunt and peck at on-screen keyboards. They all offer “universal search,” in which searching for a title takes you to whichever app has it available. If you want to watch Wicked but don’t know where it’s playing, just push the voice button on the remote and say “Wicked.” (We found simply saying the title or the genre you want sometimes works better than saying “Show me…” or “Search for…”) From the search results, hit the play button and the correct app will open and start playing — assuming you’ve previously logged into that app and, in most cases, have an active subscription.

Connectivity

Most streaming sticks connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, with the majority of them supporting Wi-Fi 5 or 6 protocols. Set-top boxes can also have Ethernet ports, so you can hardwire your internet connection to the device, which is typically faster than wireless. Streaming media players connect to your TV through an HDMI port, and most sticks hide behind the screen, while set-top boxes sit on a surface nearby. Nearly all units also plug into an AC outlet for power. Some sticks used to work by pulling power from a USB port on the TV, but increasingly, these devices are designed to plug into the wall.

Video and audio features

If your home theater setup has a screen that can display 4K content with Dolby Vision and HDR10, you’ll want a streaming device that supports those high-end formats. Of course, even the most top-shelf streamer can’t make a 1080p TV stream 4K. The series or movie also has to be transmitted in 4K and, increasingly, companies restrict higher-quality streaming to more expensive subscription plans. In short, every element needs to support the video or audio feature, otherwise the highest quality you’ll get will be the lowest of any component in the chain.

Remotes

Most remotes that come with streaming devices will allow you to control the power and volume of your TV. Some of the less expensive devices, however, don’t have that feature, so you’ll need to use your TV’s remote control to turn it on, then use the streaming remote to navigate the streamer’s interface. If your streamer’s remote does offer power and volume controls, the setup process will usually calibrate your remote to your TV. If you want to use a soundbar, such as from Sonos or other brands, for audio you may also have to take the additional step of pairing your remote to the speaker.

Voice control

In addition to helping you find stuff to watch, streaming devices from Apple, Google and Amazon can answer questions about the weather, sports scores and general facts using built-in voice assistants. They can also act as smart home controllers to turn off connected smart bulbs or plugs and show feeds from smart cameras. Just remember, as with all smart home devices, compatibility is key. Fire TV devices work with Alexa-enabled smart home equipment; the Google TV Streamer lets you control Google Home devices; and Apple TV 4Ks play nice with HomeKit and other Apple devices. Rokus grant power over Roku’s smart home products, but also work with the other ecosystems.

How we tested and picked the best streaming devices

Like every gadget we test, we start by researching what’s worthy of reviewing. Then we get a hold of the devices ourselves and see how well they work. We don’t have a central Engadget lab; we test things in our own living rooms, on our own TV sets. We also figure that’s a better approximation of your own TV experience anyway.

We began testing streaming devices as far back as 2007 with the first Apple TV device. Since then, we’ve tried out most of the major new releases to come along — from the Roku Stick back in 2014 to the 2024 Google TV Streamer 4K. A few years ago, we decided to compile the streaming devices we reviewed into this guide. Since then, we’ve updated our top picks using verdicts from our reviews, as well the testing we perform just for this guide. As new devices come out, we try them and, if something is worthy, we add it to our top picks on this list.

The ‘Ironheart’ Hate Is Just Racist

Ironheart finally made its Disney+ debut on June 24, 2025. However, hours before the series dropped a single episode, somehow, the Rotten Tomatoes audience rating was in the mid-30s. How can people rate a series they haven’t watched? Well, Ironheart was the target of review bombing. A similar situation happened with other female-led projects, such as 2016’s Ghostbusters, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and more. It also seems to happen repeatedly with films and television shows led by women of color, such as The Acolyte or the remakes of The Little Mermaid and Snow White.

These titles are typically the target of year-long hate campaigns, where people who seemingly have no interest in watching them make it their sole mission to keep posting and commenting about them, saying they won’t. What could be their reason? They often like to use the phrase “woke” as a criticism, which has no meaning except as a blanket term to cover up racist and sexist beliefs. Multiple comment sections on social media for Ironheart-related posts needed to be shut down due to a flood of racist, sexist, and outright hostile comments. That doesn’t seem like a reasonable response to a Disney+ MCU series.

Let’s make something clear. There is no “controversy” around Ironheart because saying so legitimizes a clear-cut targeted attack against the series. Fair criticism is understandable, but there is one word behind the review bombing Ironheart saw: racism. Ironheart was review-bombed for no other reason than it features a young Black woman as the lead of a superhero series in the MCU, and some fans can’t stand the thought of that.

‘Ironheart’ Review Bombing Shows a Disingenuous Hostility for the Series

One look at the comment section of any story about Ironheart reveals that it is filled with people saying things like “another Marvel flop” or “I won’t be watching it.” People made up their minds about the series before it even aired a frame of footage. Now, no one has to be excited for every Marvel project. Like with comics, you don’t need to read or watch every title.

The films and Disney+ series with female leads and people of color have been on the receiving end of review bombing and outright hostility that male-led series were not. There is a reason a sad subset of fans adopted “M-SHE-U” as a criticism, perceiving the addition of women as a bad thing. In titles like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it is always the women of color and the actresses who portray them that are on the receiving end of doxxing and harassment. It isn’t subtle.

The review bombing for Ironheart kicked off shortly after the social media reaction embargo for the series was lifted. The general sentiment among fans and critics who had seen it was that the series was, at best, a lot of fun and, at worst, mediocre Disney+ material. There was nothing outright calling it a disaster or a trainwreck, which a loud minority was hoping it would be, so they could use it as ammunition for their belief that “go woke go broke,” or stories rooted in a non-cisgender straight white male perspective are inherently “bad writing.”

The positive buzz likely triggered a response from people who wanted Ironheart to fail. This led to a review bomb that shaped the narrative around the series, suggesting fans hated it, even though nobody had seen it. This reason should expose the meaninglessness of a particular set of criticisms, but sadly, Ironheart will still be reported and discussed as “divisive” despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. It has an average 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not great, but not terrible by any metric.

Tatiana Maslany in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Hulk

Review bombing on public access sites is growing more rampant, and the MCU is at the center of it for centering women progressively.

This isn’t to say anyone who watched Ironheart and didn’t like it is racist. Anyone who watched the series, went into it with an open mind, engaged in good faith, and it wasn’t for them, is fine. MovieWeb’s own Julian Roman did not like the series, giving it a 1.5 out of 5 rating and calling it one of the MCU’s worst (this writer would disagree, as Ironheart clears Secret Invasion and Moon Knight by a wide margin and, on average, is better than the two seasons of Loki).

However, many of the audience responses logged on Rotten Tomatoes for Ironheart seemed to come from people who either never intended to watch it or hate-watched it, knowing they wouldn’t enjoy it. Their minds were already made up. Yet it isn’t enough to dislike Ironheart; they have to ensure that people who do like it don’t get to enjoy it by drowning the discussion in hostile comments and targeted attacks. They want to ensure the series fails so that other fans won’t get to enjoy more of it. That is beyond petty; it’s cruel, and to take a page from Mister Fantastic actor Pedro Pascal, “loser behavior.”

The Double Standard ‘Ironheart’ Faces

Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams in the Disney+ MCU series Ironheart — Disney+

The common refrain is “nobody asked for this,” which is a silly criticism considering the Marvel Cinematic Universe started by turning B-list heroes into household names. The idea of an Iron Man, Thor, or Ant-Man movie before 2008 sounded absurd compared to heroes like The Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man. For those too young to remember, in 2012, nobody was asking for a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

The fandom embraced those bold moves of spotlighting obscure, lesser-known heroes. As soon as the MCU started to broaden who was allowed at the table and diversify its roster, fans suddenly had a problem. There is no objective reason why Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, or Doctor Strange would be “in-demand projects,” but Ironheart, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel are not. It also ignores that plenty of people did ask for an Ironheart series and want superhero movies centered on Black men and women, which shouldn’t be discounted.

Ironheart, both the series and the character, have faced considerable criticism that holds her to a higher standard than her male counterparts. A great deal of criticism has been leveled at Riri Williams for being a criminal, yet both Scott Lang/Ant-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy were all criminals before becoming heroes. Redemption stories are baked into the MCU as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Thor, and Doctor Strange all start as selfish individuals who become heroes. Thunderbolts* is a movie about taking the killers and so-called villains and letting them shine as heroes. But for some reason, there is a problem with Riri Williams. There is no good reason for Ironheart to be judged so harshly, except that the goal post has been moved for her.

Riri Williams in Ironheart with a suit of armor behind her.

Alden Ehrenreich’s role in ‘Ironheart’ is a throwback to the very first MCU film, and almost debuted over a decade ago in ‘The Avengers.’

Just as Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel was criticized for displaying a quirky attitude that’s celebrated in MCU heroes like Iron Man or Doctor Strange, and Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk faced backlash for openly expressing female rage, Riri Williams seems to have drawn similar ire from certain corners of the fandom. The mere idea of a young woman ambitious enough to outshine “Tony Stark and Hank Pym” has been treated as an unforgivable insult. Riri Williams is not afforded the same level of leniency in making mistakes as her contemporaries, like Peter Parker.

Ironheart is a solid MCU Disney+ series that many people enjoy. Fans should be discussing the series’ themes, such as the wealth disparity between Tony Stark and Riri Williams, or the debate between science and magic in the MCU. Sadly, much of the discussion around the series is being dictated by individuals who can’t or won’t confront their own biases. Their negative criticism of Ironheart is performative and should be disregarded. The idea that Ironheart is “controversial” is disingenuous. Just as with Snow White, the hatred for Ironheart has been evident since the project was announced, and the loudest critics are not subtle about what they dislike, which raises the question: Are those voices worth listening to? Maybe the only way to find out if Ironheart is good is to watch it for oneself. Ironheart is streaming on Disney+.

I’m Satisfied With The Twisted Final Chapter In Gi-hun’s Story That Proves To Be The Darkest Season Yet

Squid Game season 3 begins in familiar territory. The new episodes start right after the end of Squid Game season 2, which saw Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) fail in his mission to kill the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and stop the games. However, his participation is far from over; being brought back into the dormitory, he continues to be a contestant in the rest of the games. But, after having failed to put an end to them with his rebellion, his mindset has shifted from where it once was. This change is a defining attribute of how season 3 plays out.

As the series promised with its premise, the show offers more high stakes as the games continue, bringing with it plenty of dire scenarios and dark moments. But it also keeps up the momentum with its other important storylines. This includes Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) continuing his search for the island, unaware Captain Park (Oh Dal-su) is working with his brother. There’s also a more defined mission for No-eul (Park Gyu-young) in the aftermath of the season 2 finale. All these stories coalesce into Squid Game season 3, harboring some of the darkest developments of the entire series.

Squid Game Season 3 Jumps Right Back Into The Action & Never Stops Moving

Episode 1 Hits The Ground Running & Doesn’t Stop

From the high-tension opening scene of episode 1, Squid Game season 3 establishes its six-episode run won’t slow the pace of the games to come. It doesn’t take long for the show to expertly navigate the aftermath of Gi-hun’s failed rebellion, exploring how the show’s memorable core characters are coping with their loss. There’s a dour, depressing tone that emphasizes the hopelessness of the scenario after everything the group has lost. As season 3 continues, this tone evolves, but it’s a first impression whose undertones never truly go away.

Squid Game season 2 introduces new dynamics with engrossing new set pieces, and proves that three years was worth the wait for another round.

This is coupled by the cast of Squid Game delivering stellar performances, jumping off their character portrayals in season 2. Lee Jung-jae offers a compelling performance as Gi-hun, whose character arc twists in a very new direction after his personal loss. He expertly displays a unique side to the protagonist that emphasizes how the Front Man’s actions have affected his mindset. On the other side of the coin is Lee Byung-hun; his portrayal of the Front Man in season 3 adds new layers to the character, offering surprising depth that scaffolds off his season 2 storyline.

This includes a harrowing Jump Rope game that challenges the players physically, continuing to increase the stakes of the game in the process.

Of course, Gi-hun’s fellow contestants continue their stories in various ways. While everyone gives striking performances, Kang Ae-shim’s Geum-ja and Park Sung-hoon’s Hyun-ju are notable scene-stealers, especially when the games start back up again. But of all the contestants, it’s Jo Yu-ri’s Jun-hee that shines the brightest. Season 3 rectifies any lack of development she had in season 2, with Jo delivering a powerful performance as her struggles in the game grow more difficult. This includes one sequence early in the season where something memorable she does becomes central to her story ahead.

As for the games themselves, the Front Man’s next preparations immediately telegraph just how much danger Gi-hun and the other contestants are in. Their new challenges are even more dangerous than anything that’s come before. This includes a harrowing Jump Rope game that challenges the players physically, continuing to increase the stakes of the game in the process. With an approach that makes even the simplest of moments feel intense, Squid Game season 3 utilizes its characters and games to expertly deliver some of the most intense moments the show’s ever offered.

Squid Game Season 3 Continues Gi-hun & The Front Man’s Battle, But With One Small Caveat

There’s A Big Difference Now That The Front Man Is Out Of The Games

Alongside the games and players in Squid Game, season 3 also delivers its intrigue through Gi-hun and the Front Man’s battle. This comes in the form of what’s happening on the island and Jun-ho’s search at sea. With Captain Park’s true intentions being revealed to the audience in season 2, every scene between him and the detective has an added layer of intensity. It’s clear he doesn’t intend for Jun-ho to find the island, resulting in a game of their own being played on the water. This character-driven section layers the larger conflict with more personal stakes for both parties.

Squid Game seasons 2 and 3 were written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, and filmed back-to-back.

As for Gi-hun and the Front Man’s direct confrontations, there is a level of disconnect between the pair now that the antagonist is no longer in the games. While there’s still plenty of tension that comes from their different viewpoints on the world, that lack of personal interference does leave something to be desired at first. Luckily, with the inclusion of new elements not seen in prior seasons, that issue is circumvented, offering a vehicle through which their ideological battle can continue.

In fact, the only problem Squid Game season 3’s story has is a consequence of how the episodes were split up. While season 3 graciously keeps the action going from the end of season 2, a lack of real breathing room makes its premiere feel more like season 2, episode 8. Given the six-month break between episodes and a lack of re-establishment that takes place, there’s a slight emotional disconnect that happens when the show begins. While this is rectified as episodes play out, there are some events early on that don’t hit as hard because of this approach.

Squid Game Season 3 Offers A Fitting Batch Of Final Episodes For Netflix’s Popular Thriller Series

It Stays Engaging Despite Its Darkness From Beginning To End

Luckily, the show manages to draw from just how engaging its darker turns are this season to balance out the wait with hard-hitting twists and turns. There’s much about season 3 that’s difficult to watch unfold, but the show manages to justify even the most emotionally tumultuous events with its broader storyline. Everything the show does feels like a purposeful, justifiable action that builds atop its hardships. This makes every character’s story strong in how they’re approached, while still keeping Gi-hun and the Front Man in the center of it all.

With high-octane games and a compelling story that picks up where season 2 left off, Squid Game season 3 is a powerful sendoff to the popular Netflix thriller. The season maintains focus on its core themes and characters, offering a final stretch that’s just as engaging as it is ominous. Thanks to its unflinching approach to the difficulty of the final episodes, the show creates effective final episodes whose influence will echo long after its closing minutes.

All episodes of Squid Game season 3 are now streaming on Netflix.

Lalo Schifrin dead: ‘Mission: Impossible’ composer dies at 93

Lalo Schifrin, the six-time Oscar nominee and prolific composer best known for his Grammy-winning “Mission: Impossible” theme, has died. He was 93.

Schifrin died Thursday morning at a hospital in Los Angeles, his son Will Schifrin, a writer and producer, told The Times. He reportedly died of complications from pneumonia.

The Argentine-born composer infused elements of jazz, rock and funk into classical orchestral music and is credited with helping to change the sound of movies. Schifrin was Oscar-nominated for his scores on the films “Cool Hand Luke” (1967), “The Fox” (1967), “Voyage of the Damned” (1976), “The Amityville Horror” (1979) and “The Sting II” (1983). He also earned a song nomination for “People Alone” from the 1980 drama “The Competition.” In 2018, Schifrin received an honorary Oscar.

Schifrin wrote more than 100 scores for film and television over the course of his Hollywood career, including for the movies “Dirty Harry” (1971), “THX 1138” (1971), “Enter the Dragon” (1973) and the “Rush Hour” trilogy, as well as TV shows including “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and “Starsky & Hutch.”

“I learned to be a chameleon,” Schifrin told The Times in 2018. “In motion pictures, the real creator is the screenwriter and the director and the producer. I have to work for what they have made. Like a chameleon, I do whatever is necessary.”

In 2011, Schifrin modestly described himself as a “music maker.” While the catchy theme for the spy series “Mission: Impossible” remains one of his best-known pieces, Schifrin told The Times “it was just work.”

“For everything I’ve done, I did my best,” Schifrin said in 2016. “I like what I did. I don’t think it’s a masterpiece, but it’s OK. … If people like it, to the point of embracing it, great. That doesn’t happen too often.”

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1932, Schifrin was exposed to music from a young age. His father, Luis, served as the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colón. And Schifrin was just 5 years old when a trip to the movies with his grandmother made him realize that it was the music that made the horror film so scary.

Schifrin began studying piano under Enrique Barenboim, the father of pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim, when he was 6. He discovered and fell in love with modern American jazz as a teenager. At the suggestion of one of his teachers, he applied for a scholarship to attend the Paris Conservatory. During his time there, he made money playing at jazz clubs.

After returning to Buenos Aires, Schifrin started his own jazz band to perform at concerts and on TV. He eventually met American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, who invited him to work for him in the U.S. In 1963, while he was working with Gillespie after moving to New York, Schifrin was offered a job in Hollywood.

“My first movie was called ‘Rhino,’” Schifrin told The Times in 2011. “It was a low-budget movie, but it was the beginning.”

Schifrin is survived by his wife, Donna, and his children, William, Frances and Ryan.

KATESEYE Release ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’: Stream It Now

KATSEYE are ready to pull fans into their latest sonic universe.

The six-member girl group unveiled their highly anticipated second EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, on Friday (June 28), marking a bold evolution from the dreamy, melodic pop of their debut.

Released via HYBE x Geffen Records, the project follows the viral success of lead single “Gnarly,” which hinted at the high-energy hyperpop and dance-infused direction that now defines the full EP.

See latest videos, charts and news

The project arrives less than a year after the release of SIS (Soft Is Strong), which catapulted KATSEYE to No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and spawned fan favorites like “Touch” and “Debut.” But BEAUTIFUL CHAOS is anything but a repeat—this is a new era, louder and more unapologetic.

In a joint statement ahead of the release, the group wrote: “We are so excited to invite you into this beautiful and chaotic world that we have built. Thank you for being here.”

The EP showcases the group’s global identity—with members from six different countries—and their ambition to break molds within the pop landscape. With producers like Justin Tranter, Andrew Watt, and John Ryan in the mix, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS balances shimmering production with emotional grit, offering an eclectic yet cohesive soundscape.

Rather than focusing on chart positions, KATSEYE are aiming for something more lasting. “We want KATSEYE to be timeless and to have lasting influence. Not just for now—we want forever,” the group said.

Matt’s Rating:

Finally: the endgame. Or is it?

Only Netflix knows for sure. But after an incomplete second season of diminishing returns, the sadistically gripping South Korean action phenomenon, Squid Game, returns to grueling form in its third and allegedly final round.

It certainly feels like the end of the line for Season 1 champ Gi-hun (Emmy winner Lee Jung-jae), who spends the first few episodes of Squid Game 3 in a numbed stupor — we know how he feels — after leading a failed rebellion against the masterminds of a nihilistic survival contest involving perversely deadly twists on classic children’s games. A new example: Stumble playing jump rope at your peril.

“I still believe that you came here to save us all,” insists the most maternal of the players, No. 149 (Kang Ae-shim, terrific), whose pairing with her timid son No. 007 (Yang Dong-geun) is just one of many new complications this season. Her heartfelt effort to boost the dejected Gi-hun’s spirits and get his head back into the game pays off, when he eventually rallies and rises to the occasion on behalf of the most defenseless lives at stake in this play-to-the-death battle. With pregnant player No. 222 (Jo Yu-ri) among those still in the mix, you can guess what that means, even if you missed hearing a baby’s cry in one of the promotional teasers.

The novelty of the franchise has largely worn off, and tiresome scenes of the wealthy masked VIPs betting on the grisly events from afar are as vapid as ever. But with the finish line in sight, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk wrings a fair amount of suspense as the net tightens around the game, with Detective Jun-ho (Wi Ha-Joon) getting ever closer to finding the elaborate arena’s secret island while rogue soldier/guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young) pursues her own violent agenda from within.

“Do you still have faith in people?” the game’s enigmatic and sorrowful Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) asks Gi-hun at a key moment. It’s a fair question, because amid the plentiful greed and treachery on display as the field relentlessly dwindles, we also witness moments of great bravery and sacrifice.

Such is the game of life.

With £20,000 of savings how much second income could a 40-year-old ISA investor get at 65?

With £20,000 of savings how much second income could a 40-year-old ISA investor get at 65?

Image source: Getty Images

Building a second income is one of the biggest motivations for investing, especially for those who want the freedom to retire when they’ve had enough of working. With £20,000 of savings and a 25-year time horizon, a 40-year-old may be surprised to see just how much their money could grow in FTSE 100 shares.

Compounding does the heavy lifting

Now let’s say they invest their full £20,000 Stocks and Shares ISA today, then never add another penny. Let’s also assume their portfolio generates an average annual compound total return of 7%, roughly in line with the long-term FTSE 100 average.

By age 65, their £20,000 would have grown to £108,549. That’s more than four times the original investment, just by sitting tight and being patient.

Once-and-done investing like this has its limitations. The real rewards come from putting money into the market month after month, year after year. If that same investor chipped in £5,000 a year and enjoyed the long-term return, they’d retire with a portfolio worth around £446,931. Now that’s more like it.

Sainsbury’s: dividends and growth

A steady ISA portfolio doesn’t have to be built on high-flying growth stocks. Long-term compounders with dividends can do the job too. One business investors might consider buying is J Sainsbury (LSE: SBRY).

Often overshadowed by its bigger rival Tesco, Sainsbury’s has quietly delivered a solid performance of its own. The share price is up 8% over the last year and 45% over five years. That’s decent rather than dazzling, but doesn’t include dividends.

Right now, the shares offer a trailing yield of 3.35%, broadly in line with the FTSE 100 average. Add that to capital growth, and the returns start to look more respectable.

On 17 April, Sainsbury’s posted its full-year 2024 results showing group sales excluding fuel rose 4.2% to £26.6bn. Operating profit increased 7.2% to £1.04bn.

The group also generated £531m in free cash flow, completing a £200m share buyback and hiked its dividend by 4% to 13.6p. Management plans to return another £250m to shareholders courtesy of a special dividend, funded by the sale of its banking arm.

I don’t expect the Sainsbury’s share price to go gangbusters. Competition’s fierce, with Aldi, Lidl and Asda breathing down its neck, while its 15% share of the grocery market still trails far behind Tesco’s 28%. There’s a constant supermarket price war going on, resurgent inflation could squeeze margins, and shoppers aren’t exactly feeling flush.

But over 20-25 years, I reckon Sainsbury’s shares could deliver a healthy mix of capital growth and compounding dividend income.

Passive potential

A £446,931 ISA could generate £17,877 a year using the 4% ‘safe withdrawal’ rule. That’s a decent stream of passive income.

That kind of sum could help fund a comfortable retirement, especially when combined with the State Pension or other savings. Of course, stock market returns are never guaranteed. Some years will disappoint, others will exceed expectations.

But the market tends to reward patience. And those rewards are felt most keenly in later life, when a well-built ISA portfolio starts to deliver that all-important second income.

Japan executes ‘Twitter killer’ who murdered and dismembered nine people | World News

A man guilty of murdering nine people, most of whom had posted suicidal thoughts on social media, has been executed in Japan.

Takahiro Shiraishi, known as the “Twitter killer”, was sentenced to death in 2020 for the 2017 killings of the nine victims, who he also dismembered in his apartment near Tokyo.

His execution was the first use of capital punishment in the country in nearly three years and it was carried out as calls grow to abolish the measure in Japan since the acquittal of the world’s longest-serving death-row inmate Iwao Hakamada last year.

He was freed after 56 years on death row, following a retrial which heard police had falsified and planted evidence against him over the 1966 murders of his boss, wife and two children.

Eight of Shiraishi’s victims were women, including teenagers, who he killed after raping them. He also killed a boyfriend of one of the women to silence him.

Police arrested him in 2017 after finding the bodies of eight females and one male in cold-storage cases in his apartment.

Investigators said Shiraishi approached the victims via Twitter, offering to assist them with their suicidal wishes.

Justice Minister Keisuke Suzuki, who authorised Shiraishi’s hanging, said he made the decision after careful examination, taking into account the convict’s “extremely selfish” motive for crimes that “caused great shock and unrest to society”.

“It is not appropriate to abolish the death penalty while these violent crimes are still being committed,” Mr Suzuki said.

There are currently 105 death row inmates in Japan, he added.

TOKYO — A man convicted of murder for killing and dismembering nine people in his apartment near Tokyo was executed Friday, Japan’s Justice Ministry said.

Takahiro Shiraishi, known as the “Twitter killer,” was sentenced to death in 2020 for the killings in 2017 of the nine victims, most of whom had posted suicidal thoughts on social media. He was also convicted of sexually abusing female victims.

The execution was carried out as calls grow to abolish capital punishment in Japan since the acquittal of the world’s longest-serving death-row inmate Iwao Hakamada last year.

Shiraishi was hanged at the Tokyo Detention House in high secrecy with nothing disclosed until the execution was done.

Police arrested him in 2017 after finding the bodies of eight females and one male in cold-storage cases in his apartment.

Investigators said Shiraishi approached the victims via Twitter, offering to assist them with their suicidal wishes. He killed the eight women, including teenagers, after raping them, and also killed a boyfriend of one of the women to silence him.

Japan’s suicide rate ranks among the world’s highest. Following a recent decline, the number has climbed back this year as people were hit by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Japan’s crime rate is relatively low, but it has seen some high-profile mass killings in recent years.

Brad Pitt’s L.A. home torn up by burglars while he is at ‘F1’ premiere

Thieves broke into a Los Angeles home owned by Brad Pitt on Wednesday and ransacked the actor’s abode while he was out of town, according to law enforcement sources.

Los Angeles police officials said a break-in at a home occurred around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.

At least three suspects scaled the security fence at Pitt’s Los Feliz-area house and smashed a window before entering, making “a real mess” and stealing some items, according to sources not authorized to discuss the case.

Pitt’s possessions were tossed and overturned as the thieves “had gone through looking for what they could take of value,” said one source familiar with the crime.

Pitt is one of the latest celebrities to see their home burglarized. South American theft gangs have plagued upscale areas of L.A. in recent years.

In early February, Olivier Giroud, the French striker who plays for Los Angeles FC, had his home targeted and $500,000 worth of jewelry and watches stolen, sources said. On Valentine’s Day, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s home was burglarized.

Pitt’s Midcentury Modern home, dubbed the Steel House, is one of several owned by the movie star. He was in London on Monday night for the European premiere of “F1: The Movie.”

Last August, the FBI, working with local police, dismantled a multimillion-dollar crime tourism ring that had operated for years in Southern California, facilitating thefts across the country. Their investigation led them to a most unusual hub: a Los Angeles car rental business.

The group directed crime tourists who committed hundreds of thefts across the nation — including in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties — beginning around 2018. The thefts occurred in about 80 cities in California, Colorado, Arizona, New Jersey, Kansas and Illinois and netted about $5.5 million for those charged in the case, according to the indictment. Prosecutors, however, estimated the loss to businesses and homeowners at about $35 million.

The trend of South American crime groups visiting Southern California for thefts and robberies emerged roughly six years ago, and authorities have been grappling to get it under control.
