For decades, Magneto has been known for his compelling story, but now another X-Men character is having a similarly captivating journey – and might even surpass Magneto in terms of character development.

Recently, Beast has undergone a significant transformation, and his evolving story is truly noteworthy.

Honestly, it’s been heartbreaking watching Yuji struggle with so much guilt! What’s even worse is finding out the higher-ups in the jujutsu world actually used Gojo’s disappearance to try and get rid of him. They’ve always been scared of Yuji’s potential as Sukuna’s vessel, and with Gojo gone, they saw their chance. It’s terrifying to think they want him eliminated completely! They’ve tasked Yuta Okkotsu, a fellow student at Jujutsu High, with the impossible job of killing Sukuna’s vessel. But Yuta’s always had his own agenda, and I’m really curious to see what that is!

Fans eagerly awaited Perfect Dark Zero, the sequel to the popular Perfect Dark game originally released for Nintendo 64 in 2000.

Ending a popular show is always difficult, and the final season of Stranger Things faced a lot of criticism. Many viewers pointed out weak storylines, plot holes, and inconsistencies. This made Season 5 one of the show’s weakest, which was disappointing for a series finale. It felt particularly underwhelming because Season 4 had been so strong – it even included what many considered the best scene of the entire show. Sadly, the final season didn’t live up to that high point and didn’t fully explore promising storylines.
