Director Johannes Roberts says his Resident Evil film mirrors the story of the Resident Evil 2 video game, specifically the outbreak in Raccoon City. However, fans on Reddit are debating whether this is accurate. Resident Evil 2 takes place between September 23rd and October 1st, 1998. Viewers have pointed out that the movie trailer shows winter scenes with snow, and one character seems to be using an iPhone – technology that didn’t exist in 1998. This has led to questions about how closely the film follows the established storyline of the game.

The anime My Hero Academia recently released a new episode intended as the definitive conclusion to the series, showing what happened to Deku and the other heroes almost ten years after the final battle. To mark this special occasion, the series creator, Kohei Horikoshi, shared a new sketch of adult Deku on social media. You can see it below.

The rivalry between Wolverine and Sabretooth is one of the most intense and enduring in the Marvel Universe. Interestingly, the story of how this feud developed is considered a major achievement for Marvel Comics. Originally a minor character, Sabretooth—created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne—has evolved into a truly compelling and ruthless villain.

As someone who grew up in Generation X, I started playing video games in the late 1970s and early 80s with classics like Pong and Electronic Quarterback. I spent my childhood with the Nintendo Entertainment System and other consoles, including the TurboGrafx-16 and TurboExpress. I’ve always loved both home consoles and arcade games, and I even collect detailed, scaled-down replicas of arcade cabinets. While those replicas are popular, the biggest profits now come from updated versions – remakes and remasters – of older games.

Marvel movies are known for their action, but they sometimes tell surprisingly emotional stories. The most heartbreaking ones often focus on characters with tragic pasts. These difficult origins help make the characters so compelling, and while we grow to care for them deeply, their stories can be really tough to watch.

Roguelike games stay exciting in a couple of different ways. Some, like Mewgenics, focus on unpredictable randomness, making each playthrough unique. Others emphasize challenging core mechanics, rewarding players who learn and master the game’s systems to progress further with each attempt.

We anticipated a charming, retro RPG reminiscent of classic Pokémon games. Instead, we were surprised by a surprisingly sophisticated adventure with a compelling story and much more complex gameplay than most games of that type.

Though the third season of Star Trek: Picard was largely well-received, some fans were disappointed that Wil Wheaton’s character, Wesley Crusher, didn’t return for a meaningful reunion with his mother or half-brother, Jack. While it likely made sense for the story to focus on Jack as Captain Picard’s biological son, it was a bit of a letdown that Wesley was limited to a brief cameo in Season 2, feeling more like a nod to fans than a crucial part of the story. Fortunately, the new Picard novel, Star Trek: Picard: To Defy Fate, gives Wesley a central role in a new mission alongside his mentor, Captain Picard.
