In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter Parker is really struggling, still dealing with the fallout from Doctor Strange’s spell in No Way Home. This time, he’s not a high-tech hero or an Avenger, but a financially strapped young man living in a small apartment. While he’s down on his luck, many Spider-Man fans are enjoying seeing him face more relatable, everyday problems. With Peter back to focusing on street-level crime and his suit repaired, this movie has the potential to be the most authentic Spider-Man story we’ve seen yet.

Naturally, there are usually a few things you should keep in mind.

Great General Toys has shown off designs for their new action figure, DJS-D03 Blade Calamity, which is based on the classic Generation 1 character Slag/Slug. They’ve also shared images of a prototype for DJS-D01A Tyrannosaurus Warrior, modeled after Grimlock, the Dinobot leader. This new collection of dinosaur-inspired robots features updated designs and a consistent modern detail, promising a powerful and impressive team.

Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy was a landmark achievement in filmmaking, seamlessly blending artistry and storytelling to create a truly magical experience. However, subsequent projects set in Middle-earth haven’t lived up to that standard. While Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy earned a lot of money, it didn’t receive the same critical praise, and more recent adaptations – like the expensive and controversial The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video and Warner Bros.’ animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim – have been even less successful.

Good news for fans of The Outpost! This fantasy-adventure series, which originally aired on The CW from 2018 to 2021, is becoming more accessible. The show follows the last member of a fallen race as she seeks revenge and learns to use supernatural abilities to protect the world. Starting May 1st, you can stream the first season – all 10 episodes – for free on Kanopy. Kanopy is a streaming service that you can access with a library card or university login. While not all four seasons will be available immediately, this is a great way to revisit or discover the beginning of The Outpost.

The 1980s featured many films with spooky or fantastical elements that appealed to a wide audience, like Beetlejuice, Little Shop of Horrors, and Ghostbusters. While these movies weren’t strictly marketed as horror, audiences generally anticipated some level of darkness. But these particular five films weren’t supposed to be frightening, which made their genuinely scary moments even more impactful.

So, how has this affected the game Hexe? According to YouTuber j0nathan, who has a good track record with Assassin’s Creed leaks, Jean Guesdon—who took over the Assassin’s Creed franchise in February—has been removing all magical elements from Hexe. For instance, a planned feature where players could control a cat has been scrapped. This change might explain why Richer is leaving the project.

Many fans doubt we’ll see Commander Shepard or even Ryder return in a significant role, especially since Andromeda wasn’t as well-received as the original trilogy and BioWare stopped actively developing it. However, recent promotional images for the new game include the Angara, a species exclusive to the Andromeda galaxy. This strongly suggests Andromeda will be part of the new story, making Ryder’s inclusion more likely and potentially easier to fit into the narrative than bringing back Shepard.

The anime Nana doesn’t offer simple, heartwarming romance. Instead, it portrays characters with messy, imperfect love lives, often driven by selfish desires and a blurred line between genuine affection and dependency. While many new anime series aim for lighthearted feelings, Nana delivers a more raw and unforgettable experience. It shows how love can profoundly alter someone’s life, even without providing lasting security or resolution.
