Big movie sequels were a huge draw for audiences in 2025. As you might expect, the year’s top 15 highest-grossing films included titles like Zootopia 2, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Captain America: Brave New World, and Wicked: For Good—all of which brought in over $440 million around the world.
Even years after it finished airing, fans still see Goku’s actions in Dragon Ball Z as deeply meaningful and inspiring – it’s hard to put into words exactly why. Though there are countless memorable scenes, seven moments particularly stand out as defining his legacy.
Fans have long wondered why Will Byers survived his encounter with the Demogorgon, while Barb didn’t. Both were taken to the same place and experienced a strange process, but Will was changed, becoming connected to the Mind Flayer and developing supernatural abilities. Barb, however, died, and her body was found in the Upside Down. A new theory attempts to explain this difference, suggesting why Will lived when Barb did not.
Gandhara: Buddha no Seisen is a little-known game from Enix. It’s an action RPG played from a top-down perspective, and it feels a lot like the original Legend of Zelda in how it’s designed and how you play. While Zelda borrowed from European and Japanese stories, Gandhara was inspired by Buddhist mythology. Unfortunately, because it was only released in Japan, very few people have ever played or even heard of this unique game.
Among all the shows mentioned, Bel-Air stands out – surprisingly, it’s actually a well-made remake. The first season came out in 2022, and you wouldn’t immediately recognize it as a reimagining of anything. Bel-Air is a serious, dramatic series, but it’s based on the popular 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. While no one seemed to be requesting a darker, more realistic version of the show – including the iconic Carlton dance – someone at Peacock decided it was a good idea.
We’re imagining simple service robots – the kind that handle physical labor like lifting, cleaning, or repairs. It’s surprising, considering Starfleet constantly sends crews into tight spaces to fix things manually, and often deals with hazardous materials. Given that the Federation is made up of incredibly advanced civilizations, it seems odd they still rely so much on human workers. With today’s rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence, you’d expect to see much more capable robots doing these jobs by the 23rd century.
A new theorem rigorously proves that all two-qubit entangled states of a specific type are inherently steerable, solidifying the connection between these key quantum phenomena.
A recent update to Monster Hunter Wilds included some new code that suggests Capcom might be developing a version for the Nintendo Switch 2. While Capcom has shown support for the new console, many fans were skeptical because the previous game, Monster Hunter World (released in 2018), never made it to the original Nintendo Switch. This new code doesn’t guarantee a Switch 2 version, but it does offer a potential hint that one is in development.
Lenovo recently improved the Legion Space app on its Legion Go devices to work better with the Xbox Full Screen Experience, which first appeared on the Xbox Ally. The update is version 1.3.4.9.
As a huge fan of the first two films, I was a little worried to hear the director say that Avatar 3 really needs to be a box office success. It seems like even though Disney’s already scheduled the next installments, they’re waiting to see if this one makes money before greenlighting anything further. It’s a bit frustrating, honestly – I’m excited for the future of Pandora, but it’s clear business has to come first.
