What’s really interesting is that these flops aren’t just forgettable films. They’re the movies that really tried – the ones that aimed to revolutionize genres, create entirely new worlds, push the boundaries of filmmaking, or tackle adaptations everyone thought were impossible. But when you’re overly ambitious without keeping things grounded, it often leads to extravagance. Here are seven prime examples.
Here are seven great licensed games most players have forgotten.
A key part of the movie No Way Home involved Peter Parker, MJ, and Ned applying to college. But when Spider-Man’s secret identity was revealed, and Doctor Strange tried to fix it with a spell, everyone – including MJ and Ned – forgot who Peter was. Because the next four years won’t be shown in future movies, Marvel will likely have to skip over many of the storylines from the comics that take place while Peter is in college.
Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 takes place between seasons two and three of Stranger Things. The story follows Eleven and her friends – including some characters we haven’t seen before – as they investigate a strange, supernatural mystery in Hawkins. According to showrunner Eric Robles, this series is a rare chance to revisit these beloved characters and spend more time with them. However, the show notably excludes most of the Byers family, with Will being the only exception.

Sony, a major Japanese electronics company famous for products like TVs and CD players, recently made a big change. They created a new partnership with Chinese company TCL by separating their Bravia TV business into a joint venture.
I stumbled across a really fun Reddit thread the other day – someone asked what the silliest thing in all of Star Wars is. The original poster thought it was a clip of an Inquisitor using their lightsaber like helicopter blades to escape, which, honestly, is pretty goofy! But it sparked a huge debate amongst fans about all the weirdest, most questionable things that are actually considered canon in the franchise. It was a surprisingly long and entertaining discussion!
Charithra Chandran joins the main cast as Miss Wednesday, who is eventually revealed to be Princess Vivi of Alabasta. Chandran recently told Collider that her character’s relationship with Luffy will deepen in the upcoming third season, building on the connections she’s made with the Straw Hat crew. She explained, “Vivi does have an impact on him, and we’ll see even more of that in Season 3…”
After a few weeks since its release alongside the Cryo Archive, Marathon is receiving a lot of positive feedback and excitement from fans. However, a significant problem with enemy spawns is threatening the game’s long-term success. These spawns currently feel unfair and frustrating, rather than providing a genuine challenge. If Bungie doesn’t address this issue, it risks driving players away from Marathon.
James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, announced in 2025 that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t be continuing as Batman in the new DC Universe, and a new actor will be cast for the upcoming film, Brave and the Bold. Luckily, many believe the ideal choice for the role was apparent as early as 2020: Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who played the villain in The Invisible Man. Director Leigh Whannell’s 2020 film actually showcases why Jackson-Cohen would be a perfect fit for Batman.
