3 Nostalgic Sci-Fi Shows You’ll Remember if You Were a ’90s Kid

If you spent your childhood in the 1990s, certain shows might transport you back to a time when television felt distinctly strange and full of surprises. We’ve picked out three groundbreaking science fiction series, each embodying the distinctive creativity that defined the ’90s.

On This Day in 2006, This Cult Sci-Fi Comedy Beat Fox’s Attempt To Bury It

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but reminisce about the underdog film that truly resonated with me – Mike Judge’s “Idiocracy,” released back in September 2006. This masterpiece, unfortunately, faced an uphill battle right from the start. Major studio, 20th Century Fox, opted to keep it under wraps from critics and restricted its release to a mere seven cities, only gracing 130 theaters. Compared to typical feature film releases, this was a massive snub.

The box office earnings were a paltry $486,000 worldwide (on a budget of $2.4 million). However, in the almost two decades since its release, it’s transformed into a cultural icon for countless viewers, gaining a cult-like following. The internet community has also played a significant role in preserving its legacy, with an abundance of memes and GIFs that have become all too relevant in expressing contemporary sentiments. Despite the rocky start, “Idiocracy” has undeniably left a lasting impact on popular culture.

Metal Gear Solid 5 Being Unfinished Still Stings 10 Years Later

The creation process of Metal Gear Solid 5 was fraught with difficulties, symbolizing the close of a significant era. This game signified the finale of a prolonged collaboration between Konami and director Hideo Kojima, which unfolded into an emotionally charged narrative that continued for a year. Despite neither side openly discussing it, probably due to confidentiality agreements and a need to maintain professionalism publicly, this behind-the-scenes turmoil potentially hindered the development of a true masterpiece and negatively impacted Konami’s public image.

Why Chainlink Investors Can’t Stop Staring at Exchange Supply-and Their Wallets 👀

Back in mid-2023, LINK was lounging around $6 to $7, contemplating its life choices. Now, only 161.8 million linger on exchanges-presumably clinging to fond memories of the “good old days.” If this dry-up continues, future generations will swap tales about “The Great LINK Migration,” while clutching their hardware wallets and reminiscing about when you actually had to sell a token to buy a sandwich.

1 Thing May Have Survived the MCU’s Cancelation of Kang (& It Could Be Controversial)

Robert Downey Jr., known for his role as Iron Man, is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe once more, this time portraying Doctor Doom. Instead of “The Kang Dynasty,” we’ll be seeing a tale called “Doomsday.” However, there are some plot points that still need clarification since Marvel didn’t completely resolve all elements related to Kang in the storyline for the fifth Avengers film. Central to these questions, particularly concerning the narrative of “Doomsday,” is Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man. Not only did he defeat Kang in “Quantumania,” but it appears his role as a crucial member of the Avengers remains unchanged, despite the shifting storyline.

Final Fantasy 7 Could Be in the Same Universe as Another Mainline Final Fantasy Game

In simpler terms, “Final Fantasy 7” and “Final Fantasy 10” are two distinct video games, each set in different worlds. The former takes place on Gaia, where you join Cloud’s group in Midgar, aiming to stop Sephiroth who poses a threat to the planet, whereas the latter is set in Spira, following Yuna’s journey to defeat Sin and bring peace to her world. Interestingly, some fans speculate that these seemingly unrelated games could actually be part of the same universe.

WWE: 3 MVPs From Tonight’s Raw (Sept 1)

At both Clash at the Castle and this year’s Clash in Paris, it’s clear that the Paris audience brings a unique energy to WWE events. Today on Raw, they demonstrated this special spirit once more, with their active participation throughout the show. Unlike many other crowds, they are consistently engaged in every second of the performance. The exchanges between superstars and the audience often turn into captivating TV moments, and they constantly set a high standard for entrances and chants.
