Most Popular Wikipedia Articles of the Week (March 28 to April 3, 2021)

Prepared with commentary by

⭠ Last week's report

[summary]

Rank	Article	Class	Views	Image	Notes/about
1	Godzilla vs. Kong		2,857,080		What sad days we're living when one of those destruction-heavy blockbusters that should be watched on a big screen has to settle in for what little theaters are open plus homes of HBO Max subscribers. (and too bad for those living in countries where either option isn't possible!) Anyways, the huge radioactive lizard from Japan and the giant gorilla from the US (who has a thing for blondes, though sadly there are none in this movie) end up duking against other in a movie that reviewers noted that for all its narrative shortcomings delivered on the flashy, fun monster fights.
2	Suez Canal		1,700,993
3	Matt Gaetz		1,325,750		Congressman from Florida is having an interesting year. He defended the former President from his impeachment while criticizing Congresswoman and colleague Liz Cheney–going so far to holding a rally in her home state of Wyoming demanding that she must be primaried. Now the representative is under investigation by the Justice Department as to whether or not he misused campaign funds and engaged in sex trafficking according to a news article published by The New York Times on March 30th. His bizarre interview with Fox News television host Tucker Carlson that same night placed the blame on an extortionist, but also made Carlson look he was involved in his scandal too. Yikes...
4	Ever Given		1,044,559
5	Lil Nas X		936,561		Speak of the devil! Cowboy by day and glitchy Roblox avatar by night, the smaller Nas (X) took the world by storm this week with the release of his song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)", the subtitle of which references a movie about two guys who become really good friends after enjoying a fun, family friendly summer together. If the song's lyrics, which make a compelling case for Adam and Steve, weren’t enough to have internet denizens in a fiery rage, then the video, which starts with a love scene between Lil Nas X X Himself and ends with him throwing that Beelzebutt all over Beelzebub after some FKA twigs-inspired pole dancing, might have brought their blood to a boiling point. And just to fan the flames a bit more, the handsome devil put out a pair of custom Nike shoes called "Satan Shoes" designed by streetwear company MSCHF, each adorned with a pentagram and filled with a single drop of human blood. Of course, the outrage machine kicked into overdrive like clockwork, and since idle hands are the devil's playthings, a bunch of people with nothing better to do developed a bad case of Twitter fingers as they called Lil Nas X out of his name and screamed "What about the children?!", a question that they answered themselves with the film Jesus Camp. Running a Nicki Minaj fanpage equipped Nas X with the proper trolling skills to fend them off for a bit, but it wasn’t long before he apologized for all of it. Meanwhile, Nike filed and won a lawsuit against MSCHF to ban the further selling of Satan Shoes.
6	Deaths in 2021		862,838
7	Zack Snyder's Justice League		791,426		Fans are now griping #RestoreTheSnyderverse given the extended cut of Justice League was released, but Warner Bros. won't continue it. Well, they should focus on how the studio makes worse decisions regarding the DC Extended Universe than that - just because Darkseid appears in a half a dozen scenes of this 4 hour movie, Warner cancelled a promising New Gods movie that would feature the famed DC villain.
8	Tina Turner		756,766		HBO premiered Tina, a documentary about the career of the musical legend once known as Anna Mae Bullock.
9	The Falcon and the Winter Soldier		714,705		Marvel's spy thriller continues, bringing back many characters that barely appeared from the movies: the guy who triggered the Avengers Civil War, the niece of Captain America's one true love, one of those Wakandan bald warriors...
10	April Fools' Day		655,869
11	Francis Ngannou		636,851
12	Invincible (TV series)		384,564		Another comic book adaptation, only from Image Comics instead of the big two, animated, and without an attempt to be family-friendly - not surprisingly, Invincible' airs on the same Prime Video of The Boys.
13	Good Friday		543,753		Also known as "Holy Friday", as how 'good' is a day that is supposed to celebrate the Savior being horribly scourged and executed?
14	UFC 260		497,214		Wow. Another UFC fight in the Top 25. Who would've guessed it...
15	Elizabeth II		475,824
16	DMX (rapper)		468,299		Dark Man X made some questionable choices in life, that led to arrests, drug addiction, having to pay for 15 (!) child supports and an attempt at a bankrupcy filing. The latest disgrace for the rapper responsible for "Party Up (Up in Here)" was a hospitalization caused by possible overdose that left him in a vegetative state.
17	The Suicide Squad (film)		446,176
18	2021 Suez Canal obstruction		435,830
19	Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019 film)		426,932		Right before our #1, there was a sequel that tried to compensate the first film being criticized for not having enough Godzilla, but went too far in how many monsters would appear, specially when the whole thing is dragged to two hours by a meandering plot. At least Kong's movie was better.
20	Derek Chauvin		419,191		Joe Biden announced he will be watching closely the trial of this disgraced policeman who somehow denied the charges of murder and manslaughter that resulted from him kneeling a man in his neck until he asphyxiated.
21	WrestleMania		418,165
22	Easter		404,851
23	The Irregulars		386,922
24	George Floyd		354,480		The victim of #20. The protests have re-ignited with the trial, of course.
25	YouTube		353,667		The perenially popular website remains on the list one more week, keeping off #26 Invincible (comics) - source material of #12, adequate given both YouTube and Prime Video are how the two omnipresent Internet giants make their hold on video services.
