5 Best One Piece Backstories That Should’ve Been Spin-Offs

I’ve noticed that if this series delved into every single detail of each character’s past, the story would likely go on forever. It’s not that these backstories are incomplete, but they actually create opportunities to explore those characters even more. We’ve already seen this happen with popular characters like Portgas D. Ace and Trafalgar Law, who both got their own spin-off novels. While the original author doesn’t write these novels himself, he oversees them and they’re officially published, which is a big reason why fans enjoy them so much. And honestly, I think a few other characters – including the five we’ve been discussing – deserve the same treatment.

DC Finally Has Its Own Guardians of the Galaxy After 10 Years Of Trying

James Gunn didn’t direct this film, but he seems to have chosen well by entrusting director Craig Gillespie (known for I, Tonya and Cruella) with the project. Despite their different styles, Gillespie appears to have learned from Gunn, as the upcoming Supergirl movie feels like it could easily fit alongside characters like Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the same cinematic universe.

DC Officially Confirms The 1 Golden Rule That Defines Superman

The most compelling way to portray Superman’s heroism is to challenge him with an impossible situation and then showcase his unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. Superman truly shines when he embodies the ideal of a hero, and DC is now exploring the difficulties he faces in upholding that standard. A recent issue of Action Comics (#1093) depicted Clark Kent’s early days as Superboy, including a story that tested his resolve to always do what he believed was right, regardless of the consequences.

What KPop Demon Hunters’ Charms Mean, Explained By Creators

The members of HUNTR/X all wear unique charms – called norigae – on their belts, earrings, and necklaces throughout the film. These charms are inspired by the decorations found on traditional Korean hanbok clothing.

This Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC Feature Is a Huge Letdown That Shows What’s Wrong With Modern Pokemon

I was excited when I first saw Ansha and the donuts – the screenshots of their stats reminded me of making Poffins in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I hoped it would be a fun, involved side activity in Mega Dimension. Unfortunately, the donut-making feature turned out to be a disappointing and simplistic version of what it could have been, and it highlights the frustrations many fans have with recent Pokemon games.

What Is Going on With the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake?

As a huge Assassin’s Creed fan, I was really surprised not to see anything about the Black Flag remake at The Game Awards. Everyone – reporters, industry folks, even people in the know – thought we’d finally get a reveal. But Ubisoft stayed completely silent, and the same goes for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. Honestly, with how many times this Black Flag remake has leaked, the lack of announcement feels… deliberate now. It’s starting to make me wonder what’s really going on.

DC Keeps Ignoring One Of The Most Powerful Heroes Of All (& It’s Time To Bring Him Back)

DC Comics has many incredibly powerful characters, but the Spectre often gets overlooked. Originally a detective named Jim Corrigan, he was killed and transformed into the Spirit of Vengeance. While his backstory and powers have evolved over time, the Spectre always excelled in DC’s darker, more horror-focused stories from the late 1960s and 70s. He starred in a fantastic comic series in the 1990s and has become a key force in the DC Universe’s overall cosmic structure. It’s time DC Comics gave the Spectre the attention he deserves.

Ultimate Endgame’s Deniz Camp Reveals How Marvel’s Decision Led To A Better Ending For The Universe (Exclusive)

It’s honestly not fair to ask Mark Camp to choose a favorite member of the Ultimates – he genuinely loves them all! But he did share what he enjoys about working with each of them. He really loves working with Doctor Doom and Tony Stark, especially Tony’s hopeful attitude. He also appreciates She-Hulk’s sincerity and how dedicated she is. And even though everything about Hawkeye has changed, he’s still Hawkeye – that same bold, energetic character, just with a modern twist. It’s cool to see that core personality shine through despite all the updates.
