Two goals equals a welcome three points

Manchester United are back to winning ways in the Barclays Premier League with a 2-0 win against West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford. After long spells of fruitless first-half pressure from the Reds, the breakthrough finally came early in the second period when Jesse Lingard fired home a super finish, bagging his first goal for the club as his star continues to rise. Juan Mata then secured the victory from the spot in injury time as United stayed fourth in the league, notching a sixth clean sheet in seven in the process. Putting points on the board is impressive, but nowhere near as impressive as this: Spyro the Dragon is coming to television. In an Investor Day presentation leading up to BlizzCon on Friday, Activision Blizzard announced Activision Blizzard Studios, a new division of the company focused on creating original films and TV shows. The first film project announced for the studio is “a robust cinematic universe” based on the Call of Duty franchise, planned to include “a series of Call of Duty feature films as well as the possibility of television adaptations.” No timing or additional information was revealed. The first release is expected in 2018 or 2019. An animated Skylanders television series is also in the works, titled Skylanders Academy. The show is currently in production (though no network has been announced yet) with Futurama writer Eric Rogers serving as showrunner. Skylanders Academy will star Justin Long as Spyro, Ashley Tisdale as Stealth Elf, Jonathan Banks as Eruptor, and Norm Macdonald as Glumshanks. Harland Williams and Richard Horvitz will also join the cast. It'll suck. Insomniac are the only company that should ever be trusted with anything Spyro. They knew what they were doing.
