I’ve been a loyal supporter of Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff movies, but even I can’t ignore the criticisms from Marvel fans. These movies have faced criticism not only for their scripts and adaptations, but also for their special effects and CGI. Unsurprisingly, the latest release, Kraven the Hunter, has followed suit. Despite a struggling box office, some dedicated fans have ventured out to catch what may be the final spin-off movie from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. The character that’s been under fire after the film’s release is Rhino – opinions seem divided about his design, but overall, fans aren’t pleased with him.

Fans of “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” have been anxiously anticipating the return of the franchise in a new anime series, and there are strong indications that a Steel Ball Run anime might be officially unveiled very shortly. The last time the anime adaptation of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” was seen on screens was with Stone Ocean, released in 2022 (and in international territories through Netflix in 2023). Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for news about the next part being officially adapted. The wait has been challenging, but it appears that it may soon come to an end, as there seems to be a promising opportunity for a new anime announcement.

Thanksgiving weekend is typically an ideal moment for premiering a film, as people seek entertainment when their families are visiting or they have time off work. However, the period following Thanksgiving weekend can pose a challenge, as movies tend to see a significant decrease in viewership during these three days. Even popular and long-running films like “Frozen” can experience a 53% drop during this post-Thanksgiving weekend frame. This is because everyone tends to flock to the cinema over Thanksgiving weekend, but then gets sidetracked with other holiday activities afterwards.

Time is running short for Xbox Game Pass subscribers who wish to play a Tomb Raider game without charge, as it will be removed from the service on December 15. However, before it departs, these subscribers can buy the game at a 20% discount if they want to keep playing it after its departure from Xbox Game Pass.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating the latest revelations about Shoto Todoroki’s pro hero journey in My Hero Academia, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The recent manga volume has shown us a glimpse into Shoto’s life post-time skip, hinting that there’s more on his mind than just being a hero. As a fan, I was thrilled to see Kohei Horikoshi return with an additional 30 pages of fresh content, adding depth and detail to the future hero world. It’s been a rollercoaster ride since it wrapped up earlier this Summer in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, but this concluding volume offers a much more satisfying resolution.

At The Game Awards 2024, CD Projekt Red unveiled The Witcher 4 as one of the highlights. However, the announcement has received mixed reactions, with some fans expressing dissatisfaction over the game’s protagonist, Ciri, taking over from Geralt of Rivia. Some are displeased with her character transformation, while others find her appearance in the game different from how she looked in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Additionally, there are concerns about potential plot inconsistencies and lore breaks due to Ciri being a Witcher herself.
