The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced many powerful heroes, but their strength varies considerably. A clear power ranking exists, and a few heroes stand out as significantly more powerful than others. These characters possess abilities that make them incredibly strong on their own, sometimes to the point of seeming overpowered, even within the already fantastical world of the MCU.
A great example of an unexpected team-up is the story of Alien vs. Captain America. While not part of the official Marvel storyline, it showcases one of Red Skull’s most outlandish schemes for taking over the world. Hydra has discovered the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies and is turning them into weapons against their enemies. Captain America and his Howling Commandos are barely surviving, relying on help from Captain Marvel and the Kree. Little do they know, even greater dangers lie ahead, and Red Skull will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted goals.
Tom Hanks jokingly called The Da Vinci Code “full of fluff and silly scavenger hunt-like stuff.” He played Robert Langdon, a Harvard expert in symbols, in the three movies based on Dan Brown’s novels. Langdon solves puzzles hidden in Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork, revealing a secret society and a long-running conspiracy about the family of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The first film, The Da Vinci Code, began streaming on Peacock on January 1st, alongside its sequel, Angels & Demons, and the The Lost Symbol series, all on the NBCUniversal platform. The final movie in the series, Inferno, isn’t currently available on Peacock.
The series Angel concluded with the main characters standing in the rain, ready for one final battle. This was a fitting end because it highlighted a core truth about Angel’s life: the fight for good is never truly over. Despite being a satisfying conclusion, the ending left things open-ended, and if the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot continues the story, it will need to address the events of this dramatic showdown.
Okay, so just a heads-up for everyone – always be aware of your surroundings! The video doesn’t show this, but after I walked away in that first clip, this guy actually tried to get into our car! It was seriously creepy, and I wanted to share it after seeing it on our Ring doorbell. #creepy #ringdoorbell #fyp
TeamKill Media’s Code Violet launched this year as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. The game originally gained attention as a spiritual successor to Capcom’s Dino Crisis series. It’s an action-horror title where players control Violet as she explores a strange facility overrun with dangerous dinosaurs and enemies. While the concept of Code Violet seemed promising, the final product unfortunately doesn’t live up to its potential.
From January 12th to 18th, the movie The Rip was the most popular title on Netflix. It earned 41.6 million views and a total of 78.3 million hours of watch time, surpassing other shows and movies like People We Meet on Vacation and One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5. Remarkably, The Rip only began streaming on January 16th, achieving these numbers in just three days.

You can download the update through the game’s launcher, and it includes new options like Orc and Vampire mouths, updated hairstyles, and gameplay improvements. These changes make farming more enjoyable and overall balance the game experience, with many other enhancements included.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Chris Pratt revealed his dream co-star. With Marvel now having access to characters from other studios, like Fox, Pratt expressed his admiration for Ryan Reynolds’ performance as Deadpool. He believes Reynolds was incredible in the role and would be thrilled to simply observe him work on set, even if it was just as a spectator. Pratt stated that Deadpool is who he’d choose to appear in a movie with.
As a sci-fi fan, it’s amazing when a movie I love kicks off a whole franchise! But honestly, it’s a bit of a gamble. You often get a first film that’s a total masterpiece, and then… everything after just doesn’t live up. I’ve definitely wished some franchises had ended after the original – think Men in Black, Jurassic Park, or RoboCop. So many times, the sequels just aren’t worth revisiting. Thankfully, sometimes we get really lucky and the whole series stays engaging. Not every sci-fi film needs a franchise, but when it works, and you can rewatch the entire thing over and over, that’s when it truly becomes a favorite of mine.
