Here are 5 amazing new villains who debuted this year.
It’s fitting that everyone is now talking about the future of Doctor Who. While recent viewership numbers are down, the show is still a vital part of the BBC, and the BBC’s head of programming, Katie Phillips, has assured fans it’s not going anywhere. Interestingly, the key to bringing the show back to its former glory might be found by revisiting its history.

He also shared heartwarming messages for his children, particularly praising his eldest daughter, Honor, 17, for being accepted to Yale University.

The heroes in Thunderbolts weren’t your typical, everyday saviors. They were proven heroes who had each saved the world in their own way, but they were all deeply damaged – either by their experiences saving the world, or by events in their past or future. At its heart, Thunderbolts is a story about healing from trauma and confronting your inner struggles. It’s about accepting yourself and others, and learning to move on after suffering great loss. What made this film special wasn’t the special effects or star power; it was that, for once, a Marvel movie had a central story that felt genuinely human and relatable.
Many anime series begin as popular manga published in weekly or monthly magazines. Because there’s a constant stream of interesting new manga, there are plenty of great stories waiting to be adapted into animated form. While fans all have their favorites, some series are particularly well-suited for anime and could attract a wider audience. This list highlights a few manga that deserve an anime adaptation, giving longtime fans a chance to see their beloved characters come to life on screen.
The anime series Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle experienced production issues after its fifth episode aired, causing a delay in the release of the following five episodes. Episodes 11 through 13 were then postponed with no set return date. However, a recent announcement confirmed the series will continue next spring to complete its first season.
The main challenge was that the story had to largely happen on New Year’s Eve. While the characters in The Shining are at the Overlook Hotel when the new year begins, it isn’t a significant part of the plot. The following films, though, absolutely depend on New Year’s Eve to work, whether that’s a good thing or not.
Honestly, this event hasn’t lived up to the hype. “Age of Apocalypse” was incredible, but “Age of Revelation” just hasn’t reached that level. It’s not bad overall, and there have been some really great series within it – I especially loved Unbreakable X-Men and The Last Wolverine – but it won’t be remembered the way “AoA” is. This event really needed to stick the landing, and it mostly missed. This final issue, Age of Revelation: Finale #1, is a good wrap-up, but like most of what came before, it has some strong points mixed with weaknesses that are hard to ignore.
