Joss Whedon took risks with *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*, and even when episodes didn’t quite work, they often became entertaining in their own way. Some have become beloved cult favorites *because* of how strange they are, while others are still disliked and often skipped. Here, we’re highlighting three *Buffy* episodes that are particularly confusing, including one comedy episode that fans fiercely defend.

Interestingly, many popular and accepted parts of comic book history are actually retcons – changes to previously established storylines. A prime example is Captain America being frozen at the end of World War II. While it was a significant change, it became central to his character, portraying him as a man lost in time. So, to highlight the positive side of something often criticized, we’re going to explore ten Marvel retcons that improved the stories, but don’t always get the recognition they deserve.

Fans are eagerly awaiting *Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra*, an upcoming game where players can control both Black Panther and Captain America. Set during World War II, the game teams these two heroes up to battle Hydra. While announced a few years ago, very little has been shown of the gameplay – only a trailer and a short cutscene. However, with a planned release date in 2026, we expect to see more gameplay footage soon.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

At number 10, we have a truly iconic Power Ranger – Tommy Oliver. It’s a bit surprising he isn’t ranked higher, considering his overall impact on the franchise. If we were considering his complete legacy, he’d easily be a top contender.

The sequel is already showing strong potential, even bringing back a previously underdeveloped storyline from the *Jujutsu Kaisen* Culling Game Arc. This involves Kenjaku’s dealings with the U.S. government and the resulting military invasion of Japan, which forms the backdrop for *Modulo’s* story and the current political conflicts between Japan, America, and the Simurians. Though this plotline felt disconnected from the main story about Sukuna and Kenjaku in the original series and was never fully explained, *Modulo* is now exploring it in detail – and doing so in a very engaging way.

Just a quick note before we start: we can’t absolutely promise these fixes will solve your problems. Feel free to try them, but the game is currently very buggy, so even these solutions might not work perfectly. We want to be upfront about that.

With the Multiverse constantly growing and offering endless options, we’re left wondering: which of the classic heroes would be best to stop Doctor Doom from destroying everything?

Comic books often shake things up by turning villains into heroes. Sometimes these changes stick, but often villains fall back into their old habits. More commonly, they operate in a gray area, constantly shifting between good and evil.

Since its debut in 1999 (with a more acclaimed adaptation in 2011), the anime series *Hunter x Hunter* has gained a dedicated following. The show is celebrated for its intricate world, compelling characters, and exciting action. Beyond its heroes, *Hunter x Hunter* features one of the most popular villain groups in shonen anime: the Phantom Troupe. This group of thirteen (though the number sometimes changes) are incredibly skilled fighters who expertly use a power system called Nen. This article will rank the nine strongest members of the Phantom Troupe based on their power and abilities.
