It really hit me today that Strange New Worlds is wrapping up! The cast is posting about their last days on set in Toronto, and honestly, it’s a little heartbreaking. It’s a bittersweet moment for them, of course, but knowing it’s coming to an end is going to be tough for all of us fans, too.

Ever jokingly call a movie sequel “Electric Boogaloo”? You can thank the movie Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo for that! Released on December 19, 1984, it was the follow-up to the popular breakdancing film Breakin’. While Breakin’ 2 was still profitable, earning over three times its production cost, it didn’t perform as well as the original. However, it did give us a now-famous phrase we still use to describe unexpected or unnecessary sequels.
It’s common now to see updated versions of classic games, and Amazon Games recently announced a new, major Tomb Raider title at the 2025 Game Awards, along with a remastered version of the very first game in the series. Remasters are often profitable, and while they require effort and investment, they’re easier to create than entirely new games because developers start with an existing foundation. Similarly, Star Wars games consistently perform well, so a new Obi-Wan game would likely be a success as well.
You have plenty of freedom to tackle challenges how you like, and the game world rewards curiosity. But it’s a focused experience with a clear direction, not an open-ended, do-anything sandbox.
According to Variety, Avatar: Fire and Ash brought in $12 million in the U.S. from showings on Thursday, December 18th.

Together, they’ll fight to defeat the Matriarch and restore peace to the DC Universe.
For many years, Shonen Jump has been the leading source of high-quality anime series. It’s become so well-known that for a lot of people, the Shonen Jump name and anime are practically the same thing. This reputation is well-deserved, and a look at some of their most popular titles quickly shows why.
The best JRPG series aren’t simply the longest-running or most popular – they’re the most influential. These franchises pioneered gameplay features that are now standard in the genre, took storytelling to new heights, and consistently improved while staying true to what made them special. Over many years and across different consoles, they’ve established standards for music, creating immersive worlds, and telling emotionally powerful stories that continue to inspire today. Here’s our list of the five greatest JRPG series of all time.
Robert Downey Jr. will appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, but surprisingly not as his famous character, Tony Stark. He’s set to play Doctor Doom instead. While this casting choice helps resolve some issues with the film, several problems still need to be worked out before or during the movie. The larger Multiverse Saga has created a lot of challenges for Avengers: Doomsday, and the directors, the Russo brothers, will need to address these in this sixth-phase sequel and future installments.
