Spock’s distinct look – including his pointed ears and unusual haircut – immediately marked him as an alien, though he remained relatable to audiences. Interestingly, this careful balance between alien and human qualities came about because of a late change in the show’s design. Had it not been made, Star Trek might have failed before it even began. Originally, Spock was intended to have red skin, not green.
These movies still look great and feel relevant today, as if they were made recently. They’ve truly stood the test of time.
Tony Gilroy, the creator of Andor, said Disney executives told him streaming was no longer a viable business model, and he had to justify the show’s budget after initially being given free rein to spend for the first season. The creators of Stranger Things, the Duffer brothers, told Yahoo! that their show’s success was a rare occurrence, and they worry about getting another chance to tell a story of that scope. Both sets of creators seem to recognize that the golden age of streaming is over, and 2025 marked the turning point.
While iconic villains rightfully get a lot of attention, there are many other DC characters who could be truly terrifying threats and deserve their own spotlight.

These powerful objects can solve incredibly difficult problems, but using them carelessly often makes conflicts worse. They require immense strength and intelligence to control, and even with those qualities, there’s always a chance of unforeseen negative outcomes. Because of this, people often view them as both helpful gifts and dangerous burdens.
I’m completely hooked on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure because each new generation of the Joestar family brings something totally unique to the table! They’re all so different, with their own problems and ways of tackling them, which keeps things exciting while still feeling like the same awesome series. And honestly, it’s just a blast – the over-the-top style, the iconic poses everyone loves to meme, and the wonderfully weird characters make it unlike anything else. Okay, sometimes the story gets a little slow or a part takes a bit to get going (Part 1, I’m looking at you!), but trust me, sticking with it is always worth it. The payoff is incredible!

A new Bonus Path is currently available for Battle Pass Pro owners, but it’s only available for a short time – about a week.

Several animated series concluded in 2025, with seven endings being particularly noteworthy. These included long-running favorites and, sadly, some shows that didn’t reach their full potential. Regardless, all of these series made a significant impact on the animation landscape with their finales this year.
Netflix achieved a first with KPop Demon Hunters, which became the number one film in North America. The film proved incredibly popular, becoming Netflix’s most-watched film ever, and seven of its songs stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for months. It’s also received three Golden Globe nominations, including Best Animated Motion Picture, Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and Best Original Song. Interestingly, despite its success on Netflix, KPop Demon Hunters was originally intended to be released by Sony.
