What truly sets Marvel’s weapons apart is their connection to the characters and the larger world they inhabit. These aren’t just tools; they often present moral challenges for heroes – questioning their worthiness or tempting them with immense power. Plus, the weapons themselves drive the plot forward, whether through villains seeking them or heroes facing difficult decisions with their help. Ultimately, it’s the themes of responsibility and consequence that make these weapons so impactful and unforgettable.

Every era has a defining focus. In the 70s, anime favored heroic characters; the 80s embraced stories of rebellion; and the 90s explored characters going to therapy. The 2000s were filled with complex stories and sad characters, while the 2010s made emotionally manipulative plots a key artistic element. Now, in the 2020s, anime largely focuses on trauma, then politics, and finally, impressive visuals. This constant imbalance is what makes anime so engaging – it always pushes boundaries, overanalyzes, and sometimes tries too hard, and that very imperfection is part of its appeal.

Let’s explore five DC heroes introduced since 2020 who haven’t quite lived up to their potential. While some have gotten a little more attention than others, all of them deserve a better chance to develop their stories, motivations, and heroic abilities. They all have what it takes to be great, but they need the opportunity to prove it.

According to FlixPatrol, which tracks streaming popularity, the TV show Steal is currently the second most popular series on Prime Video and overall. It’s only behind Fallout in the rankings. All six episodes of Steal were released on Prime Video at the same time on January 21st.

Next week, on February 3rd, PlayStation Plus members can download four new games: Undisputed, Subnautica: Below Zero, Ultros, and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. Undisputed was actually revealed ahead of time, and this announcement officially confirms that leak. All four games will be available on PS5, and three of them – Subnautica, Ultros, and Ace Combat 7 – will also be playable on PS4. You’ll have until March 2nd to add these games to your PS Plus library.

Joe Casey, one of the writers for the upcoming comic, had initially announced a new Ben 10 series from Dynamite Comics would arrive in February. However, the release was postponed. Casey recently shared an update on his Substack, explaining that while the February launch was planned, unexpected issues arose – a common occurrence in publishing. He now expects the comic to launch in May. This new series won’t revisit canceled Ben 10 shows, but will instead offer a fresh take on the well-known characters.

Despite its cancellation, The Acolyte still has a dedicated following. A recently released art book, The Art of The Acolyte, offers new insights into the show, particularly the enigmatic Sith Lord portrayed by Manny Jacinto. The crew playfully nicknamed the character “Frank” due to the unsettling smile on his mask, which was a complex creation involving multiple teams – creature design, costumes, stunts, and visual effects. Interestingly, the mask wasn’t just for appearances; it was intentionally designed to hint at the Stranger’s true identity.

Infinite scrolling eliminates the clear stopping point of a “next page.” Previously, you’d reach the end of a page and naturally pause, but now the screen seamlessly offers more content. This is concerning because it’s easy to lose track of how much time you’re spending online. It’s not that our attention spans are poor, but rather that we lose control over when our attention should end.

Starting February 3rd, 2026, PlayStation Plus Essential members can enjoy these games:
