After J.R.R. Tolkien’s death, his son, Christopher, took on the enormous job of sorting through, editing, and publishing his father’s unpublished stories over many years. These later publications have become incredibly important for fans eager to learn more about Middle-earth, especially after the success of Peter Jackson’s movies and the recent The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. They give crucial background to the events and relationships shown on screen, turning Middle-earth into a fully realized world with a rich history spanning millennia. Without these published works, our knowledge of key elements like the One Ring, the Wizards, and the Elves would be significantly lacking.

Despite their success, today’s superhero movies seem to have missed an important point from older classics. While films like Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy are entertaining, they don’t quite have the lasting appeal of something like the 1978 Superman movie. Iron Man really changed the direction of the genre, and it hasn’t really gone back to focusing on what made the earlier films so special.

Originally launched as a short series expected to last about six months and include only three volumes, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is now reaching its climax. The manga is roughly halfway through its story, and Chapter 15, featured on the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump on Manga Plus, signals the start of the final, decisive battle. After focusing on character development and introductions, the story is now entering a more intense phase, with a major conflict that will determine the fate of Japan.

Okay, so I still think about Metal Gear Ac!d sometimes – it was such a weird but cool entry in the series. It was on the PSP, which was awesome because I could play Metal Gear anywhere. But man, it was different. It wasn’t just a handheld version of the usual games, it really shook things up with the story, how the world worked, and especially how you actually played. It changed a lot of what made Metal Gear feel like Metal Gear, but somehow, it still felt true to the spirit of the series. It was a bold move, and I kinda loved it.

2025 brought some great new books for Dungeons & Dragons, especially if you enjoyed Baldur’s Gate 3. While some releases, like Heroes of the Borderlands and Welcome to the Hellfire Club, include adventures, this list focuses on the core sourcebooks. I’ve put together a ranking of the new materials for the 5th edition of D&D released this year, from the least to most important, to help you decide what to buy next.

Premiering on December 16, 2016, Justice League Action brought together many of DC’s most popular characters in a distinctive animated series. Unlike previous Justice League shows which had longer, connected storylines, this series featured self-contained episodes, typically around twelve minutes long. While aimed at a younger audience than other DC animated programs, Justice League Action stood out with its creative stories and talented voice cast.

Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve have given us some of the most impressive and intellectually stimulating science fiction films of the last fifteen years with movies like Inception, Interstellar, Tenet, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and the Dune films. Both directors have new projects planned for 2026: Nolan will explore epic fantasy with The Odyssey, and Villeneuve will conclude his Dune series with Dune: Part Three. However, next year will also bring new films from two giants of the sci-fi genre: Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott.

For over six decades, the Avengers have been a cornerstone of Marvel Comics, showcasing the work of legendary creators. These stories have delivered some of the most epic battles and featured the most iconic heroes ever imagined. Here are ten essential Avengers tales – if you’re a fan, don’t miss them!

As a total TV fanatic, I’ve stumbled upon six shows from 2025 that I think deserve way more attention. Honestly, you’ve probably never even heard of them, or maybe you started watching and didn’t give them a fair shot. Trust me, each one is seriously well-made and offers a ton of quality – they’re fantastic shows that deserve to be seen!
