At the start of the 2000s, creating a musical for grown-ups, with a bit of an edge, and hoping for broad appeal felt like a big risk. Any successful show was considered a lucky outlier, not a sign of things to come. While Moulin Rouge! was highly regarded, it couldn’t really change the landscape. Then a particular film proved the issue wasn’t musicals themselves, but how they were being made. It was a complete shift in approach for a genre that wasn’t taken seriously, and it ultimately proved incredibly successful.

While some 2016 horror films didn’t quite hit the mark—like The Darkness, The Boy, and Cell—there were many more that were genuinely good. In fact, we received so many strong contenders that we couldn’t include them all in our list. Films that narrowly missed making the cut included Lights Out, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Belko Experiment, Hush, Terrifier, and The Purge: Election Year.

Fans have spotted a costume error involving Holly Wheeler. In a scene where she escapes Vecna’s grasp, she’s wearing Under Armour clothing. However, the Under Armour company wasn’t established until 1996, and Stranger Things Season 5 is set in 1987. This means the shirt she’s wearing wouldn’t have existed yet, and it’s a bit of a blunder considering her more pressing situation of returning home to Hawkins.

As a huge My Hero Academia fan, I was completely floored by the ending! It turns out a piece of All For One was hiding inside Shigaraki the whole time, and he took over completely once Deku finally connected with Shigaraki on an emotional level. That connection, that little moment of weakness, was all All For One needed. It was such a clever twist! And honestly, hearing John Swasey, the voice actor, talk about it in ComicBook, he was just as surprised by All For One’s initial defeat and his unexpected return for the final fight. It really shows how impactful that reveal was!

The manga first appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump in June 2023, but was unfortunately cancelled after only 20 chapters in November. It’s set in a frozen world called the Great Ice, perpetually covered in ash-like snow. The story follows Gill Sol, a young man who flees the capital and finds work as an axeman for Lord Mela. His life changes when someone seeks him out, bringing secrets from his past to light. Though the artwork was good, the story wasn’t fully successful. Now, two years later, the creator, Hachiya, is eager to publish another work in Shonen Jump.
