Kristen Stewart Heads to Toronto Film Festival - Just Jared

Welp, we were certainly overdue for an episode of The Traitors: New Blood that actually gave us something to talk about and, for better or worse, “A Murder Of Necessity” gave us just that in the form of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it mission, a baffling roundtable, and #Fruitgate. But first, an answer to the cliffhung question, “Who ‘bit’ the poisoned apple?” The answer, it turns out, arrives before Alan can even make it official. Joe can’t sit on his guilt long enough to let the reveal play out properly: He confesses directly to Niyyah that he murdered her, unprompted and visibly anxious about it. “I had to sacrifice a Faithful,” he tells her. “I did not want it to be you… Niyyah, I love you, I’m sorry.” Strategically, the confession costs him nothing—Niyyah’s already dead, the info goes nowhere—which is also what makes it a little curious. To be clear, murdering Niyyah isn’t technically a sin; it’s the gig. Joe’s a Traitor, betrayal is the job, and he’s spent most of this season doing it almost gleefully. That’s what makes the graveside apology sit oddly. Niyyah, in her exit confessional, reads it as Joe needing to clear his conscience, and maybe that’s all it is.

Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
