The original Super Mario Galaxy was a huge success for Nintendo, revolutionizing 3D platforming games. Surprisingly, Nintendo followed it up with Super Mario Galaxy 2, the first direct sequel in the 3D Mario series. Previous games like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 3D World built on existing ideas, but didn’t continue the story or gameplay in the same way. Even after more than fifteen years, Nintendo hasn’t quite recaptured the magic of the Galaxy games, although a new game for the Nintendo Switch 2 might change that.

It’s common for popular characters to lose their appeal over time. Several long-time favorites from Marvel haven’t lived up to their potential in years, but they can be revitalized. Here are seven Marvel heroes who are currently overrated, along with ideas for making them exciting again.

Even hit shows with big budgets, like Bridgerton and Stranger Things, now take a long time between seasons—Stranger Things often has gaps of over a year. But back in the 2000s, TV shows typically had 20 or more episodes per season, and new seasons came out much more frequently. That might explain why shows from the 2000s are still so popular for cozy re-watches, even years later, as these 7 shows demonstrate.

The event is taking place this week, on May 27th. It was already set to be a significant occasion as it marks the 40th anniversary of the franchise, but excitement is really building now.

The game’s re-release is excellent. It offers beautiful, high-resolution graphics while maintaining a smooth 60 frames per second. From Snake’s updated appearance and the introduction of OctoCamo, to the return of beloved characters like Otacon and Meryl, everything feels faithful to the original fans’ memories.

A recent rumor suggests the upcoming DLC, possibly called “Mayhem,” will include characters like Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Javelin, Katana, Killer Croc, King Shark, Lester (potentially The Electrocutioner), Mongal, Polka Dot Man, Rick Flag, A.R.G.U.S., and various police officers. This would bring a lot of characters from the Suicide Squad movies released over the past ten years, as well as many from the comic books themselves.

So far in the 21st century, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stands out as one of the best-made fantasy movies. The first large-scale adaptation of the popular Dungeons & Dragons franchise to really capture its spirit, the film was a hit with both viewers and critics, who loved its special effects, funny moments, and strong performances from the cast. Good news for fantasy fans: you’ll be able to watch Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves for free on Pluto TV starting June 1.

I’ve been watching the latest developments in One Piece, and the story surrounding the island of giants is really starting to connect the Straw Hats’ histories in unexpected ways. But the biggest surprise? It turns out Brook has a connection that no one saw coming! The newest chapter started a flashback after Brook and the Holy Knight Gunko recognized each other, and it’s revealing an origin story for Brook that’s even more surprising considering he’s been part of the series for 19 years.

Let’s explore the ten most memorable Spider-Man villains from the 1960s, when the character first became a Marvel Comics star.

Ravenloft is a classic setting in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, especially well-known from the Curse of Strahd adventure. The latest book will revisit that familiar world, bringing back beloved locations and villains, but also adding plenty of new content.
