The removal of films from HBO Max includes a significant loss: Christopher Nolan’s breakthrough film, Memento. This incredibly clever thriller is still considered one of the best movies ever made, and it established many of the themes and techniques Nolan would become known for. Its popularity has only increased over time, as evidenced by the strong reaction to the news of a potential remake – a remake that’s been stuck in development for years. While it’s uncertain if that remake will ever happen, the original Memento holds up remarkably well. Even knowing the central twist doesn’t diminish the enjoyment of watching it again and again, which is a testament to its quality.

As we anticipate the release of the new Wolverine game, it’s interesting to think about some of the most memorable stories from the original comics and how they might have shaped the game’s development. These stories could have provided inspiration for everything from challenging boss fights and interesting environments to key plot points and cool details that enhance the gameplay. Here are some Wolverine comic storylines we’re hoping influenced Marvel’s Wolverine—and one we’re glad they likely left out.

This choice might not be popular with everyone. The three games all emphasize multiplayer experiences – playing with or against others – and I know many PlayStation players prefer games with a strong single-player focus.

As a huge Xbox fan, I’ve been seeing everyone talking about Forza Horizon 6 since it dropped! It seems like it’s completely taken over Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass – all my friends are playing it, and they’re really loving it. The Xbox Store gives it a decent 4 out of 5 stars, but honestly, everywhere else – especially on the Game Pass subreddit – people are going crazy over how good it is. It’s definitely the game to play right now!

Studio Ghibli’s president, Hiroyuki Fukuda, recently explained the studio’s stance on streaming its films. When asked about platforms like Hulu during a press conference, he revealed that Ghibli prefers to keep its movies on traditional television. He stated that continuing to broadcast them on Nippon Television’s ‘Friday Road Show’ is a priority, though they are open to discussing streaming options in the future. The reason for this preference is to maintain accessibility through broadcast television in Japan, where the films are currently not available on any streaming services.

Carol Danvers evolved beyond her origins as Ms. Marvel, becoming a prominent member of the Avengers. However, a storyline in Avengers #200 damaged her character. Thankfully, writer Chris Claremont, known for his work on X-Men, took over her story in Avengers Annual #10 and then in Uncanny X-Men, giving her the thoughtful portrayal she deserved. Since then, Carol’s journey has had its peaks and valleys, but she’s become a fan-favorite heroine in the Marvel Universe. She eventually took on the Captain Marvel identity, surpassing her mentor in prominence. Despite her popularity, Carol isn’t considered the best Captain Marvel – in fact, some argue she’s the least effective.

Good news for fans of Firefly: an animated revival is in the works! Nathan Fillion announced earlier this year that the show is moving forward with animation handled by the award-winning studio ShadowMachine, known for their work on Pinocchio. Currently titled Firefly: Still Flying, the first episode, “Athenia,” has already been written by showrunners Tara Butters and Marc Guggenheim. Excitingly, the original cast – including Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, and Morena Baccarin – are all returning to voice their characters. Everything suggests this revival will be a dream come true for fans. However, the series is planned to take place between the original show and the movie Serenity, which could potentially create plot holes or change established storylines.
