The directors of Avengers: Doomsday, the Russo brothers, filmed the scene after the credits ended about a month before Thunderbolts came out. Many people think this scene takes place during the middle of Doomsday, and the dialogue hints at a space-based problem that will likely be introduced early in the film. However, there’s a smaller detail in the Thunderbolts post-credits scene that could be even more important for the overall story of the Multiverse Saga.

Henry Cavill posted the first images from the upcoming Highlander reboot on Facebook, giving fans a complete look at his portrayal of Connor MacLeod – a role originally played by Christopher Lambert. His trench coat and hairstyle closely resemble the iconic look, and one photo highlights his character’s sword. The scenery and the initial shot are beautiful, and these glimpses have us eagerly anticipating the film’s trailer and what the movie will offer.

The highly-rated series returns for its second season on Monday, February 23rd, and Hulu just released a new trailer offering a first look at what’s in store. The trailer introduces new characters and hints at a more dangerous and puzzling season. You can watch the trailer below.

Despite looking fantastic, Pearl Abyss’ game DokeV seems to have disappeared. It was originally shown in 2019, with a gameplay trailer following in 2021, but we haven’t heard much about it since. Pearl Abyss, the Korean studio behind it, has been focused on supporting Black Desert Online and developing Crimson Desert. This likely explains the silence around DokeV, but I’m eagerly awaiting a game that could potentially surpass Pokémon in popularity.

All three Godfather films—The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone—will be available to stream again starting February 1st. The Godfather and Part II are often ranked among the greatest films ever made. You might notice the third film has a different title than the original release; it was initially known as The Godfather Part III but didn’t receive the same critical acclaim. The version coming to Paramount+ is a 2020 re-edit, which was much better received by audiences and critics.

It’s frustrating because many anime don’t get enough time to develop. They release just a season’s worth of episodes – usually twelve or thirteen – and then disappear completely. This leaves fans desperately searching for more content, often turning to the original manga or hoping for unofficial translations of light novels, which aren’t always available. It’s a disappointing pattern, and many longtime anime fans have likely been let down by shows that deserved a longer run.

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.
