The first season of Fallout was a bold attempt to bring a popular video game to television, especially following the huge success of HBO’s The Last of Us. While Fallout tells a new story, separate from the games’ plots, this actually strengthens the show. Because it’s an original narrative set within the same world, viewers are kept guessing. Anyone looking for a great TV series will find themselves eagerly awaiting each new episode and its unfolding mysteries.
Despite rumors, Disney isn’t using the Avengers to artificially inflate ticket sales for Avatar: Fire and Ash. The Avatar films have already earned over $5.26 billion globally, proving their success doesn’t rely on the Avengers. This marketing strategy simply places the trailer for what’s expected to be 2026’s biggest film—Avatar: Fire and Ash—in front of audiences seeing 2025’s biggest film, Avengers: Doomsday, ensuring maximum viewership. This benefits Avengers: Doomsday and suggests Disney and Marvel have high expectations for a strong follow-up to Avengers: Endgame.
The new Avatar movie, Fire and Ash, is considered ‘Fresh’ on Rotten Tomatoes, earning a 70% rating. While it’s a positive score, it’s slightly lower than the ratings of the original Avatar (81%) and Avatar: The Way of Water (76%).
Currently, Avatar: Fire and Ash has a 70% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 107 reviews. While this is a good score, it’s the lowest of any film in the Avatar series. The original Avatar from 2009 received an 81% rating, and The Way of Water earned 76%. The first two Avatar movies are considered ‘Certified Fresh’ on Rotten Tomatoes, a designation Fire and Ash hasn’t achieved and won’t unless its score climbs to 75% or higher.

However, another DC series started with a different challenge – it had to continue a story from a very popular and well-known source. Surprisingly, it not only succeeded but also gave us one of the most satisfying conclusions we’ve seen recently, capped off with an exciting cliffhanger.
