If you’re leading remote teams, you’ve probably discovered how Zoom has become as much a part of life as brushing your teeth—when you have time to do that. Even though some places are finally opening up again, remote gatherings are here to stay. And if you’re managing remote teams, how do you know how to keep them motivated, productive, connected, and happy? That’s right. Happiness is critical. Because if your team is stressed out, you can forget about meeting deadlines with the quality you expect. I’ve tried a number of strategies, but once again, I’ve got to call on Sigmund Freud for some extra help. In case you missed my previous articles published on Hacker Noon, here’s a quick refresher of how Freud got involved: First, he helped a couple, George and Nikita, over Zoom (he simply time traveled) as they dealt with George’s desire to change careers, leave his corporate job, and become a freelance game developer. There was a lot of angst and guilt over this decision and, after all, who knows more about that than Sigmund Freud? (Larry David and Woody Allen were unavailable, so Freud seemed like the best option). In case you missed that article, you can read about it here: . What Would Sigmund Freud Do? Advice on Remote Work and Marriage Counseling During The Pandemic | Hacker Noon After they worked through that challenge, they both became freelancers. In the next article, George decided to take a leap to become an entrepreneur and develop a plan to hire some freelancers to work for him. George is facing some big challenges and opportunities and reviews his ideas with Freud in this article: . The Freud Trilogy in the New Remote Work World | Hacker Noon Here's what’s happening now with George and Nikita. George, why are you eating so much of the candy from our daughter’s trick-or-treat bag? She just brought it home the other night and will know that it’s gone. Nikita: I can’t help it. I’m stressed out and when that happens, my willpower slips. I recently hired some remote workers to help me with a major project and my client is a bit demanding. Our virtual meetings drag on and I have no idea how I’m going to make my deadlines. Hey—can you pass that can of soda over here? I’ll have some of that cake, too. George: Maybe you should get some help. Nikita: No. I can drink the soda and eat the cake by myself. George: Not that kind of help. I’m talking about Freud. Let’s bring him back for a quick meeting. Nikita: Well, if you insist, go ahead. But I’m sure he’s super busy right now with everyone dealing with the ups and downs of this pandemic. George: It’s okay. He accepted our Zoom invitation. Nikita: Freud appears on the laptop. Nikita and George. I haven’t seen you for a while. Is something plaguing you? Freud: Did you have to use the plague word? George: Sorry. I forgot it’s 2021 and that term is a bit sensitive. So, what’s going on with your subconscious mind that you needed to call me back for another visit? Freud: I don’t know if it’s a subconscious problem. George: Well, then just say whatever comes to your head and we’ll go through a process known as the “talking cure.” Freud: I’m worried about the remote team meetings I have to lead. They’re not going very well. George: Is it because you hate your father, and when you run the meetings, you feel like you’re acting like him? Freud: No! I love my father. George: Well, maybe there’s another reason. Keep talking. Freud: My team is very distracted. I can see them looking at their cell phones when they’re supposed to be listening. They simply nod and don’t really interact much. And they seem like they’re anxious to leave. George: What do you think you could do to engage them? Freud: I suppose I could set the tone for the meeting, tell them what to expect, and let people know that we’ll go around the virtual room and everyone will have a chance to speak and ask questions. They can discuss any problems. George: That will help. It’s like psychoanalysis, which is all about getting to the root of any problems. Let them talk. Freud: And since they work across different time zones, maybe I could schedule meetings at a time that works well for everyone. Two people on my team have to join at 5:30 a.m. George: They should be sleeping. They need to relax and dream. If their dream time is cut short, how can you even expect them to perform? Want to know more about dreams? I love to talk about dreams. Freud: Not really. Let me think. Maybe I can reward people for a job well done. Give them a gift card. A bonus. Something to incentivize them. George: How about giving them cigars? At one time in my life, I smoked 20 a day! Freud: I guess you haven’t heard about the impact of too much smoking. It’s not great for your health. George: Really? In my day it helped people relax. We’d prescribe cigars to calm people down. I’m glad I’m from a different century. So, what else do you think you can do to make these meetings more effective? How can you help your team members feel at ease if you can’t give them cigars? Freud: I can have some friendly banter about things we can all talk about, like what’s on TV and what’s the weather like where they are located. George: That’s sounds good. Think about listening and responding. I don’t know much about TV but I can tell you that psychoanalysis is all about listening. Freud: I told you this isn’t about psychoanalysis. George: I guess you weren’t really listening to what I said about listening. Be sure to make everyone feel valued and appreciated – not how my father was to me. Freud: Sigmund, I’m sorry you had these problems with your dad, but I’m grateful that you got me thinking. I’ll also make people aware of the vision of what they’re working on. Sometimes I get so focused on working through a milestone that I forget to share the big picture with my team. George: Hmm…I noticed that your session time is up and I’ve got to get back to my century. In the meantime, it’s good to see you and Nikita smiling. As I’ve always said, “Love and work, work and love…that’s all there is.” Freud: I appreciate your advice. Now I just need to lead meetings as successfully as Jim, who was a former mentor. George: Here’s my familiar closing thought. Don’t compare yourself to Jim. “The only person you have to compare yourself with is you in the past.” Freud: That’s good to know. My past meetings didn’t go so well. But my next ones will be much more effective. Thanks for joining us. George: Goodbye. I’m going home now to where I can smoke a cigar in peace.

Freud Trilogy Final Chapter: The Talking Cure and Lively Virtual Team Meetings

We’ve all been there: the startup journey could be challenging and… lonely. That’s why you need to build a solid community around your idea. The whole world is thinking about this: according to the Community Industry Report 2024; almost 80% of managers believe the community positively impacted their organization’s goals. However, 100% of them will experience the value of a community in times of crisis. Community support can even help you innovate and recover from the lower points in your company’s development. A group of engaged people around the startup was extremely useful for one of Storyby’s flagship products — the novel marketplace, AlphaNovel. Our product relies heavily on reputation, so gathering a community for open communication and feedback was crucial at the beginning and is still crucial today. In this article, I’ll share how the community helped us and why any startup should consider building one. What Makes a Group of People a Community — and How to Benefit from It One thing: loyalty. It isn't just a buzzword. It's the heartbeat of any thriving group. It’s about more than just perks or a shared history — it’s rooted in shared values and sticking to them. Be razor-sharp in your first year. You need to earn trust and gather instant feedback from people to shape a startup that they would love. As for us, we wanted to create a safe, transparent space where authors share their experiences and get honest feedback. Kick things off by inviting a selected group of early adopters to become your ambassadors. They will help you lay the groundwork by joining your chat, group, or whatever you choose as your communication platform. Use your platform to keep everyone in the loop with the latest product updates and actively seek feedback on your developments. This two-way street of communication is the backbone of any community, ensuring everyone feels deeply involved and valued every step of the way. When launching a community for your startup, ask yourself: Whom do you want to see in the community?
What will be your acceptance criteria?
What are the reasons people will want to join the community? What's the value for them?
How will you manage the community and create engagement there?
Who among the members could potentially become your brand ambassador? 3 Tips on How to Create a Lively Community First things first: manage your people. It's a delusional idea that a group could communicate effectively without some form of control. Here are the universal rules for every community: Selectivity
Be super mindful about whom you want in your community. Remember: your group or chat isn’t a garbage can. It’s a place to share ideas and seek feedback. That’s why you want to carefully review your group members before allowing them to join.


High content standards
We only accept high-quality book promotion posts, and we encourage authors to work on them. All authors are welcome to share their novels to gain new readers or receive feedback. While we encourage this, we also want promotional posts to be engaging. We ask authors to start with an introduction about themselves and their book, then select an intriguing dialogue or paragraph from the book. Finally, they can add the link and optionally a cover. In our group, we also share all things related to AI: we allow no AI-written books.


Moderation
Community members should be kind and respectful. We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required. We laid down our rules in the group’s description and demanded that everyone follow them. It’s easy — treat people the way you want to be treated. It is your responsibility to actively engage with your community by posting regularly, answering questions promptly, and encouraging participation. Startups should involve their community not only in shallow conversations but also in problem-solving, idea generation, and beta testing. You should also provide growth opportunities to your most active members. They could potentially serve as community moderators or even join your team. Community Management and Building: 7 Takeaways Here are our key learnings based on our community management experience: Talk, write, and share a lot. The worst thing you can do is be absent from your own community. Ask plenty of questions. This will bring you to the main benefit of your community — the quick feedback loop from your people. Listen to the answers. You don’t just ask — you have to actually listen to the answers and turn them into valuable insights. The next thing you do is implement what users are asking for. Edit the heck out of your posts. Maintain high-quality content and prepare in advance what you want to share with your users. Encourage active participation. Consider offering incentives for those who are active in the community. Be patient. You’ll have to work for a while to create a space where people genuinely want to communicate. Slow growth is also a part of the process, don’t let it discourage you. Scale carefully. Active participation could push you to invite more members, but scaling your community could disrupt your close-knit group of people. Be mindful. Bottom line: your people are your secret weapon. Think of your community as a group of friends who will support you no matter what — but will also tell you if you’re doing it wrong. Rely on your community and learn from it. In the end, startups grow thanks to people — so why not start engaging them now? We’ve all been there: the startup journey could be challenging and… lonely.

Communities Matter: Here’s How to Build a Great One

Rapidly With These 4 Stupid Daily Habits People who are software developers spend many hours solving many problems, perpetually trying to always write better code. Long hours of problem-solving are draining even on the most resilient minds. Developers are often so engrossed with screens and lines of code that they never even realize that some of their daily habits are silly and working against their brain health. Habit 1: The Marathon Coding Sessions For many developers, working marathon coding sessions or pulling an all-nighter is almost a badge of honour. It becomes a normal case: something is due on the next day, for instance, a critical bug that needs to be worked on at once or a new feature that needs to be completed by the end of the week. The rush of adrenaline can make long hours of coding seem productive, but this forms one of the most destructive habits for brain health. Extended periods of focused work without adequate resting or refreshment interrupt the natural rhythm of the brain. The brain, like any other muscle, needs rest time to recover and consolidate. As developers enter these marathon sessions, they abandon sleep, which is essential for cognitive operations, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation. Sleep deprivation was established to lead to cognitive decline, a condition of inattention, and influences decision-making capacities. Prolonged sleep loss has been defined to affect neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Additionally, the lengthy periods of concentration during these coding marathons can lead to mental burnout, a degradation in creative energy, and even emotional depletion. The developers should engage in the development of strategies that include regular breaks, scheduling hours of work, and sticking to healthy sleep patterns. A good example would be the Pomodoro Technique, where one works for 25 minutes and then rests for 5. In addition, having clear boundaries around hours of work and a regular sleep routine would add to the contribution of healthy cognition and productivity. Habit 2: Inactivity towards Body Exercise The frantic pace of technology has shrunk time for most ordinary people. Developers are no exception to this trend. They may find myriad reasons to sit idle rather than exercise. However, too much neglect can be disastrous for the brain. Regular physical exercise is beneficial to the body but also necessary for the brain. It increases blood flow to the brain, increases, and sharpens important cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities. It will also help the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which are essential in mood regulation and mental clarity. An inactive lifestyle can cause a person to suffer from poor blood flow, dull thinking, and increased vulnerability to the onset of mood disorders. In addition, an inactive lifestyle increases a person’s chances of developing obesity and heart disease, besides diabetes. All these are particularly bad for the brain. Developers should make efforts to introduce activity into their lifestyle, however slight the exercise session is. It can be initiated with a few minutes of exercising per hour and increased to much more profound outcomes with the inclusion of brisk walks, stretches, or a standing desk at work. The difference comes from reminder shots to move every hour, and scheduling exercises to do regularly. Habit 3: Neglecting Mental Stimulation However, the tech industry can trap developers into learning only what is required directly for work, and hence, continuous learning is important for professional growth. As if daily activity is ample to keep the mind stimulating, quite several developers leave this out of focus, and various risks will arise from cognitive stagnation. The brain loves novelty and challenge. When developers stop researching to find new knowledge or to intellectually stimulate themselves, the risk of cognitive stagnation looms overhead. Low problem-solving skills, reduced creative competence, and even higher risk of cognitive decline gradually decrease mental stimulation. Engagement in various learning activities-for example, through reading books, taking up other hobbies, or exploring new fields, keeps the brain lively and quick. Continuous learning and intellectual stimulation are exactly what can be used to maintain healthy cognitive activity and enhance mental performance. To prevent their cognitive function from getting stale, developers should also look for learning activities outside of their operational environment. One can enroll in an online course, attend a tech meetup, and learn one or two new programming languages and frameworks. Even dedicating a little time each week towards something new will be greatly beneficial to overall cognitive health. Habit 4: Neglecting Social Connections Coding puts developers in isolation by the fact that only a lone sits and focuses mainly on work and sets aside interactions. Also, this is a habit one usually overlooks, which can greatly affect mental health and cognitive functions. As humans, we are quite social. Strong social relationships provide an opening for the good maintenance of mental health. The stresses of life are aided by communicating with others and stimulating cognitive functions through worthwhile conversations and experiences. Various psychological conditions attributed to loneliness and isolation include depression and anxiety, among other cognitive decline. This form of isolation leaves developers feeling unrefreshed and, besides, getting overall dissatisfaction in terms of jobs. A developer needs to be able to maintain work and personal life, allocate time to social activities, and maintain family and friend relations. Such activities as team building activities, professional groups, or even informal social gatherings that can bring people closer together and enhance mental states are all contributive factors. Reaching out to colleagues and friends daily, even if just to pass a word here and there, could also contribute to greater living and improved well-being. Conclusion These habits appear trivial, but when one develops them over time, the danger to brain health escalates. Developers caught in the whirlwind of deadlines and coding challenges rarely pay attention to their selves or, indeed know the extent to which self-care impacts cognitive function. Developers may become aware of these toxic habits such as marathon coding sessions, lack of exercise, ignoring mental stimulation, and social isolation, etc. They can then take action proactively to protect their brain health and thus improve themselves. The quintessential change toward the adoption of healthy habits, work-life balance with adequate rest and exercise, continuous learning, and social engagement will go a long way in assuring and sustaining long-term healthy cognition. Given the high-level work environment of software development, these changes are not only beneficial but rather crucial to professional success and personal happiness as well. Such steps will thus ensure developers preserve their brain health while remaining successful in both their career and personal lives.

The stresses of life are aided by communicating with others and stimulating cognitive functions through worthwhile conversations and experiences. Various psychological conditions attributed to loneliness and isolation include depression and anxiety, among other cognitive decline. This form of isolation leaves developers feeling unrefreshed and, besides, getting overall dissatisfaction in terms of jobs. A developer needs to be able to maintain work and personal life, allocate time to social activities, and maintain family and friend relations. Such activities as team building activities, professional groups, or even informal social gatherings that can bring people closer together and enhance mental states are all contributive factors. Reaching out to colleagues and friends daily, even if just to pass a word here and there, could also contribute to greater living and improved well-being. Conclusion These habits appear trivial, but when one develops them over time, the danger to brain health escalates. Developers caught in the whirlwind of deadlines and coding challenges rarely pay attention to their selves or, indeed know the extent to which self-care impacts cognitive function. Developers may become aware of these toxic habits such as marathon coding sessions, lack of exercise, ignoring mental stimulation, and social isolation, etc. They can then take action proactively to protect their brain health and thus improve themselves.

The quintessential change toward the adoption of healthy habits, work-life balance with adequate rest and exercise, continuous learning, and social engagement will go a long way in assuring and sustaining long-term healthy cognition. Given the high-level work environment of software development, these changes are not only beneficial but rather crucial to professional success and personal happiness as well. Such steps will thus ensure developers preserve their brain health while remaining successful in both their career and personal lives.

In Scrum teams, discussions, and disagreements regarding titles and accountabilities are common. For instance, there are often debates about whether Product Owners are too tactical and not strategic enough like Product Managers, if senior engineers should be distinguished from junior engineers instead of both being referred to as "Developers," or if Scrum Masters should be considered on a lower tier compared to Agile Coaches. While it is essential to understand the reasons behind such debates, they can also hinder the creation of value for customers and end users. A constructive approach to address this issue is to ensure comprehensive coverage of the three key accountabilities: Product Owner, Developers, and Scrum Master. This means that all responsibilities expected of each role are covered, irrespective of the specific accountability described in the Scrum Guide. A practical activity to achieve this is the Herculean Doughnut. After explaining how the activity functions, it is crucial to consider important factors, including potential downsides and consequences. Finally, we will talk about a strategy to implement beyond the activity. Herculean Doughnut Setting up Begin by drawing a doughnut shape on a whiteboard or a digital whiteboard tool. The doughnut ring should be divided into three sections: Developer, Product Owner, and Scrum Master. The centre of the doughnut represents the Scrum Team. To the side of the doughnut, prepare sticky notes listing the key accountabilities of the Developers, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Master. The order of these notes is optional. It is advisable not to include every detail described in the Scrum Guide, as a deep dive into theory and philosophy might not initially engage all participants, especially those not training to be Scrum Masters. Teaching about Scrum This activity serves multiple purposes, the foremost being to educate about Scrum. Using the Herculean Doughnut, explain the three accountabilities forming a Scrum Team. Next, describe which accountability each sticky note corresponds to. The level of audience engagement in this step can vary; it's essential to cover the basics briefly, allowing for questions without actively soliciting input on the placement of sticky notes. The main objective at this stage is to teach. Layering the Team and Organisational Context For this step, prepare a new doughnut diagram and a set of the same sticky notes. Before labelling the three accountabilities, ask the team if they want to modify any part of the doughnut. This could involve renaming the Product Owner to Product Manager or Business Analyst, dividing the doughnut into more than three sections, or replacing "Scrum Team" with the team’s name. Next, go through each sticky note and ask the team where it should be placed on the doughnut based on their current situation. This often sparks lively discussions and debates, which are beneficial as they lead to a shared understanding and commitment when the team reaches a consensus. The flexibility of sticky notes allows for immediate reflection of the discussions. Sticky notes can be placed on the edge between two accountabilities to indicate shared responsibility, positioning closer to one side to show who is ultimately accountable. Balancing Expectation and Reality A common topic in this activity is the difference between current and ideal responsibilities. For instance, if a new Product Owner still needs to acquire the necessary domain knowledge, a Developer (often a technical lead) might currently manage the Product Backlog. In such cases, place the sticky note where the responsibility lies presently and mark it with a star or colored dot to indicate an expected future change. This discussion often extends to activities not directly associated with Scrum, like writing user stories and estimating with story points. Use differently colored sticky notes for these activities to distinguish them from Scrum-specific responsibilities. This differentiation helps in two significant ways: It identifies whether a less valuable practice or complementary practice is part of the Scrum framework;
Highlighting responsibilities beyond the Scrum framework, aiding the Scrum Team in understanding organizational constraints and planning for greater cross-functionality. Closing the Activity Use the same doughnut and accountabilities, possibly with different titles and outside responsibilities. By comparing the initial doughnut, based purely on the Scrum Guide, to the second doughnut reflecting the team’s specific context, the team gains a better understanding of Scrum and a sense of shared ownership in their collaborative work process. To conclude the activity, invite participants to consider why it is called the Herculean Doughnut. Encourage them to imagine a giant doughnut with a customer waiting at the bottom of a hill. Discuss scenarios such as some members dividing their time pushing multiple doughnuts up the mountain or a member having access to a bulldozer but choosing not to use it. This creative exercise helps reinforce the concepts and allows the team to personalize the activity. Addressing Potential Downsides No single solution fits all situations, and while this activity is beneficial, some potential negative consequences should be considered: Conflict of Interest: Modifying Scrum accountabilities can create conflicts of interest, such as a Developer managing the Product Backlog and prioritizing technical improvements over business value. Highlight this issue and encourage intentional decision-making;
Confused Accountabilities: Shared responsibilities can lead to confusion and blame-shifting. Ensure clear accountability and revisit the Herculean Doughnut during Sprint Retrospectives to clarify duties if needed. The Bottom Line The Herculean Doughnut activity is valuable for setting expectations and overcoming initial reluctance. However, it is only a starting point; teams should continuously inspect and adapt to find more effective working methods. According to the 2020 Scrum Guide, each element of Scrum is crucial for realizing its full benefits. Therefore, understanding the purpose of each component is essential before modifying Scrum to fit specific contexts. Did you try this or similar exercise? How did it go?

Enhancing Scrum Teams: The Herculean Doughnut Approach

Deadpool and Wolverine is currently taking the world by storm. It has officially surpassed the $1 billion mark and has dethroned Joker to become the highest-grossing rated R film of all time. Everyone’s talking about it, and the one thing that people are talking about the most is all the cameos. MCU movies, especially now that they’re in their Multiverse phase, are filled with a litany of cameos and easter eggs, and Deadpool and Wolverine is no exception. With so many appearing throughout the film, even the most eagle-eyed MCU fan would find it hard to spot them all out. So, to help you out, here are all the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos in order. Want to share your own thoughts on popular media? Start publishing on HackerNoon today! All the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos Happy Hogan One of the O.G.s of the MCU, Happy Hogan has been a part of the universe since the very first Iron Man. His character has evolved throughout the years, and in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is seen managing the Avengers. Thor The God of Thunder makes a brief appearance where he’s seen comforting Deadpool on one of the TVA’s monitors. Whether this was just a one-off joke or indicative of a future storyline remains to be seen. Wolverine Variants in Deadpool and Wolverine As Deadpool goes around the multiverse looking for a Wolverine to help him, he comes across several unique-looking ones, including: Patch Wolverine’s spy alter-ego makes a quick cameo during the variants montage. Sporting his iconic white suit, he makes quick work of Deadpool. Old Man Logan We’ve already seen an adaptation of Old Man Logan before (from the Logan film), but now, we get to see a more comic-accurate version of the character. Callverine The (former) Superman actor makes a quick cameo as Wolverine which causes Deadpool to have a nerdgasm. Weapon Omega Wolverine Even with one hand, he still manages to beat the brakes off Deadpool. Uncanny X-Men Wolverine I have no idea how Wolverine got himself into this situation, but to be completely honest, it might be better not knowing. First-Appearance Wolverine And speaking of the first-appearance variant of the Wolverine, another MCU hero is also shown in that scene… The Hulk The jolly green giant can be seen fighting Wolverine and smacking the hell out of Deadpool. The Human Torch Chris Evans returns to the MCU to reprise a superhero role, and it’s not Captain America. Years before he picked up the iconic shield, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sabretooth Tyler Mane played Logan’s brother in the very first X-Men movie. Now, 24 years later, he once again returns to play Sabretooth in a very brief but enjoyable cameo. Pyro Another X-Men villain alumni who appeared in the film was Pyro from the original X-Men film trilogy. Pyro surprisingly gets more screen time than his contemporaries, but this was a welcomed surprise as he was great in the role. And Pyro and Sabretooth aren’t the only X-men villains who make it into the film, there are plenty more who show up, including: Toad The green and gross character has made two appearances in live-action movies before: the first time was in X-Men (2000), and the second time was in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Azazel The resident teleporter of the Hellfire Club, Azazel returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of Cassandra’s goons. Lady Deathstrike Lady Deathstrike was last seen battling Wolverine to death in X2. Spoiler alert, but she lost. Like in a gruesome way. However, it would be nice to see the character fight Wolverine or even X-23 in the future. Psylocke The sword-wielding mutant was last seen as one of Apocalypse’s horsewomen in X-Men: Apocalypse. Random side note: I had no idea the character also made an appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and I’ve seen that movie numerous times. Callisto Callisto had a pretty substantial role in X-Men: The Last Stand as one of Magneto’s supporters and foil to Storm. Blob To be honest, I had no idea he was in the movie until I saw a professional wrestler do an interview where he talked about his experience being the Blob in Deadpool and Wolverine. Might have to do a rewatch to see if I can spot him in the background 👀 Juggernaut Although the Juggernaut gets no lines in the movie, he does play a pretty big part in it. Or at least, his helmet does. The Russian Apart from the X-Men bad guys, another villain who returns to the big screen is The Russian from The Punisher (2004). Alioth The unstoppable force known as Alioth returns to the MCU. He was first seen in the Disney+ show Loki. Now, this movie has had a ton of bad guys, but they’ve also brought back old heroes (including a brand new one). Blade Blade wasn’t Marvel’s first film, but it was one of its first hits. The Blade film predates the X-Men and Spider-Man films, and it’s nice to see the character and the actor (Wesley Snipes) get the recognition they deserve. Elektra Jennifer Gardner’s Elektra didn’t have a ton of success. She was introduced in Daredevil (2003), a movie that most people would say is just okay. Then, 2 years later, she starred in her own film, which most people would say is downright bad. However, she finally gets her redemption in Deadpool and Wolverine. Gambit Channing Tatum’s Gambit isn’t a returning hero. This was the first time the actor portrayed the character. He was supposed to star in his own movie many years ago, but after roadblock after roadblock, it never materialized. Now, Channing Tatum’s dream finally comes true, and I would say that his performance stole the show (or the movie). X-23 The breakout star of the film Logan returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of the survivors in the Void. After the touching but tragic ending of Logan, it’s nice to see X-23 and Wolverine together again. Deadpool Corps Actors At the climax of the film, we see the Deadpool Corps. A group of Deadpools pulled together from different universes. And you won’t believe the actors that played these characters. Matthew McConaughey plays Cowboypool
Nathan Fillion plays Headpool
Football player Paul Mullin plays Welshpool
Blake Lively plays Ladypool
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids play Babypool and Kidpool And that’s a wrap for the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo guide. If you think there’s a cameo or special appearance that I missed, let me know in the comments below! Read More Now That the Dust Has Settled, Is 'Deadpool and Wolverine' Actually Good?
The X-Men Movies in Order: How to Watch Them By Release Date
How to Watch the Harry Potter Movies in Order Feature image source Deadpool and Wolverine is currently taking the world by storm. It has officially surpassed the $1 billion mark and has dethroned Joker to become the highest-grossing rated R film of all time. Everyone’s talking about it, and the one thing that people are talking about the most is all the cameos. $1 billion mark MCU movies, especially now that they’re in their Multiverse phase, are filled with a litany of cameos and easter eggs, and Deadpool and Wolverine is no exception. With so many appearing throughout the film, even the most eagle-eyed MCU fan would find it hard to spot them all out. So, to help you out, here are all the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos in order.

Start publishing on HackerNoon today! publishing All the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos Happy Hogan One of the O.G.s of the MCU, Happy Hogan has been a part of the universe since the very first Iron Man. His character has evolved throughout the years, and in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is seen managing the Avengers. Thor The God of Thunder makes a brief appearance where he’s seen comforting Deadpool on one of the TVA’s monitors. Whether this was just a one-off joke or indicative of a future storyline remains to be seen. Wolverine Variants in Deadpool and Wolverine As Deadpool goes around the multiverse looking for a Wolverine to help him, he comes across several unique-looking ones, including: Patch Wolverine’s spy alter-ego makes a quick cameo during the variants montage. Sporting his iconic white suit, he makes quick work of Deadpool. Old Man Logan We’ve already seen an adaptation of Old Man Logan before (from the Logan film), but now, we get to see a more comic-accurate version of the character. Callverine The (former) Superman actor makes a quick cameo as Wolverine which causes Deadpool to have a nerdgasm. Weapon Omega Wolverine Even with one hand, he still manages to beat the brakes off Deadpool. Uncanny X-Men Wolverine I have no idea how Wolverine got himself into this situation, but to be completely honest, it might be better not knowing. First-Appearance Wolverine And speaking of the first-appearance variant of the Wolverine, another MCU hero is also shown in that scene… The Hulk The jolly green giant can be seen fighting Wolverine and smacking the hell out of Deadpool. The Human Torch Chris Evans returns to the MCU to reprise a superhero role, and it’s not Captain America. Years before he picked up the iconic shield, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sabretooth Tyler Mane played Logan’s brother in the very first X-Men movie. Now, 24 years later, he once again returns to play Sabretooth in a very brief but enjoyable cameo. Pyro Another X-Men villain alumni who appeared in the film was Pyro from the original X-Men film trilogy. Pyro surprisingly gets more screen time than his contemporaries, but this was a welcomed surprise as he was great in the role. And Pyro and Sabretooth aren’t the only X-men villains who make it into the film, there are plenty more who show up, including: Toad The green and gross character has made two appearances in live-action movies before: the first time was in X-Men (2000), and the second time was in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Azazel The resident teleporter of the Hellfire Club, Azazel returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of Cassandra’s goons. Lady Deathstrike Lady Deathstrike was last seen battling Wolverine to death in X2. Spoiler alert, but she lost. Like in a gruesome way. However, it would be nice to see the character fight Wolverine or even X-23 in the future. Psylocke The sword-wielding mutant was last seen as one of Apocalypse’s horsewomen in X-Men: Apocalypse. Random side note: I had no idea the character also made an appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and I’ve seen that movie numerous times. Callisto Callisto had a pretty substantial role in X-Men: The Last Stand as one of Magneto’s supporters and foil to Storm. Blob To be honest, I had no idea he was in the movie until I saw a professional wrestler do an interview where he talked about his experience being the Blob in Deadpool and Wolverine. Might have to do a rewatch to see if I can spot him in the background 👀 interview Juggernaut Although the Juggernaut gets no lines in the movie, he does play a pretty big part in it.

MIAMI, Florida, August 13th, 2024/Chainwire/--Floki is proud to announce that Valhalla, Floki's groundbreaking PlayToEarn MMORPG, will be at the forefront of a high-profile advertising campaign throughout the 2024-25 season of the English Premier League (EPL). Leveraging LED perimeter boards during live games, this campaign will deliver massive global exposure and enhance the brand’s credibility. The English Premier League is the most popular sporting league globally, attracting more viewers than both the UEFA Champions League and the Bundesliga combined. For the 2022-23 season, the EPL boasted a cumulative audience of 3.23 billion. Broadcasting to 712 million households across 190 countries, the league reaches 2.01 billion viewers of live match programming over the season and 1.22 billion viewers of highlight shows and other non-live content, according to data sourced from Nielsen. Premier League clubs also have a staggering following on social media, with over half a billion total followers. Leading the way, Facebook has 240 million followers, Instagram has 157 million, TikTok has 56 million, X has 123 million, and YouTube has 28 million. Valhalla’s LED perimeter board ads will be strategically placed to maximize visibility. The full TV-facing ad system ensures that the ads are prominently visible during broadcasts. Creative flexibility allows for dynamically tailored ad content. Branding will be visible inside the event itself, providing in-program exposure. The ads will ensure multichannel coverage, making them visible across various devices and platforms, including broadcast, social media, mobile, and online. There are no virtual overlays to interfere with the ads in the Premier League, ensuring uninterrupted visibility. Additionally, minimal ad avoidance makes the ads almost unavoidable for viewers. According to the team, each minute of LED ad delivery results in an astounding 156 minutes of global on-screen visibility. The ad campaign will cover 100 minutes of ad time throughout the season and will be globally broadcast to ensure extensive reach. At least 40% of the advertising inventory will be shown during matches featuring the league’s top clubs. The extensive campaign is projected to reach a massive global audience. In total, it is expected to reach over 200 million people, with about 1.2 billion impressions and a total on-screen duration of nearly 440 hours. In Europe, the campaign is projected to generate around 81 million impressions with an on-screen duration of approximately 181 hours. In Asia & Oceania, about 47 million impressions are expected with an on-screen duration of nearly 168 hours. In Africa, the campaign is projected to achieve around 48 million impressions and an on-screen duration of almost 34 hours. This campaign will be featured on some of the biggest broadcasters in the world, including Sky Sports, TNT, Amazon Prime, BBC (highlights), NBC Sports (including Peacock), USA Network, Telemundo, FuboTV, Optus Sports, Star Sports, Disney+ Hotstar, beIN Sports, Supersport, Sky Deutschland, Canal+, DAZN, Sky Italia, Astro, Now TV, and Truevisions. About Valhalla Valhalla is a spin on the classic Creature-Collection adventure set in a vibrant, lively, MMORPG open-world inspired by Norse mythology. Players interact with a diverse set of eccentric creatures called Veras, discovering, taming, training, and trading them. Alone or as a clan, players partake in a dynamic, player-driven economy to rise in community ranks and achieve tactical supremacy on the hexagonal-grid battlefield.
