The heroes in Thunderbolts weren’t your typical, everyday saviors. They were proven heroes who had each saved the world in their own way, but they were all deeply damaged – either by their experiences saving the world, or by events in their past or future. At its heart, Thunderbolts is a story about healing from trauma and confronting your inner struggles. It’s about accepting yourself and others, and learning to move on after suffering great loss. What made this film special wasn’t the special effects or star power; it was that, for once, a Marvel movie had a central story that felt genuinely human and relatable.

Many anime series begin as popular manga published in weekly or monthly magazines. Because there’s a constant stream of interesting new manga, there are plenty of great stories waiting to be adapted into animated form. While fans all have their favorites, some series are particularly well-suited for anime and could attract a wider audience. This list highlights a few manga that deserve an anime adaptation, giving longtime fans a chance to see their beloved characters come to life on screen.

The anime series Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle experienced production issues after its fifth episode aired, causing a delay in the release of the following five episodes. Episodes 11 through 13 were then postponed with no set return date. However, a recent announcement confirmed the series will continue next spring to complete its first season.

The main challenge was that the story had to largely happen on New Year’s Eve. While the characters in The Shining are at the Overlook Hotel when the new year begins, it isn’t a significant part of the plot. The following films, though, absolutely depend on New Year’s Eve to work, whether that’s a good thing or not.

Honestly, this event hasn’t lived up to the hype. “Age of Apocalypse” was incredible, but “Age of Revelation” just hasn’t reached that level. It’s not bad overall, and there have been some really great series within it – I especially loved Unbreakable X-Men and The Last Wolverine – but it won’t be remembered the way “AoA” is. This event really needed to stick the landing, and it mostly missed. This final issue, Age of Revelation: Finale #1, is a good wrap-up, but like most of what came before, it has some strong points mixed with weaknesses that are hard to ignore.

Many promising superhero games have been cancelled for various reasons – from problems with development to financial difficulties or internal conflicts. It’s unfortunate, as some of these cancelled titles sounded genuinely enjoyable. Here’s a look at five superhero games that were never released and the reasons why players never got to experience them.

In 2025, while established fantasy shows remained popular, several new series also stood out. Streaming platforms continued to invest heavily in original fantasy content, experimenting with different styles like portal, urban, and adult animation. These new shows demonstrated that a large budget isn’t necessary for a captivating story – strong characters and a unique look are what truly matter.

As a huge movie fan, I’m really excited about the news that Amazon is continuing the Tomb Raider story with Sophie Turner as Lara Croft – and Sigourney Weaver joining the cast! It’s no surprise to me that Alicia Vikander’s 2018 Tomb Raider is suddenly popular again on Netflix. That film showed a young, determined Lara, and it’s a really compelling origin story – she’s trying to figure out what happened to her father, and it leads her on this incredible, dangerous adventure to a legendary tomb near Japan.

The first part of the new season of Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game arrives in January, and it will feature many new characters. To fully enjoy the new episodes, fans should review what happened in the first two seasons. Luckily, there’s now a special recap of the intense Shibuya Incident available on YouTube to help you get caught up!

Hulu took down its series adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63 earlier this year, almost ten years after it first came out. Now, surprisingly, the show starring James Franco will be available on Netflix starting January 7th. This move mirrors what happened with Castle Rock, and it adds another Stephen King title to Netflix’s growing collection.
