Let’s explore the seven most influential leaders of the X-Men. We’ll be judging them based on how well they led their teams and the lasting impact they had. Over the years, many mutants have taken on leadership roles, each bringing something different to the fight for mutant and human safety. But the seven we’re highlighting today went above and beyond simply managing the team. So, let’s dive in and see how they rank as leaders.
Netflix added a hidden sci-fi treasure called Archive on February 6th – it’s a must-see for fans of the genre. This 2020 British film, directed by Gavin Rothery in his first feature film, stars Theo James, Rhona Mitra, and Toby Jones. The story follows a scientist who’s determined to use artificial intelligence to reunite with his deceased wife.
There was a real eagerness to see a Japanese role-playing game, or JRPG, released, particularly as Xbox was trying – though not for long – to gain a foothold in Japan and challenge PlayStation. While that effort ultimately failed, it did result in something unusual: a JRPG made by FromSoftware, a studio better known for other types of games. This game, Enchanted Arms, released in 2006, is a delightfully strange and charming title that sadly remains largely unknown, even though it’s a unique part of FromSoftware’s history.
Deku’s father has been a mysterious figure in My Hero Academia. While the manga and anime briefly mentioned his quirk through Deku’s mother, Inko, fans have long wondered about him. Recently, a small scene in My Hero Academia: All’s Justice provided an update, as noted by a fan on X (@shibuyasmash).
The popular series Bridgerton has returned, and this season’s focus is on Benedict Bridgerton, a charming and notorious bachelor. The story begins when he meets a captivating woman at a masquerade ball, and is instantly smitten. He’s left with only one clue: a satin glove. This sets off a quest to discover her identity, a storyline the creators playfully compare to Cinderella. However, the woman he’s searching for, Sophie, is a maid, making a relationship with her incredibly complicated – despite their undeniable connection.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be even better than the original, especially for fans of action-adventure and fast-paced role-playing games. While the re-release of Skyrim on the new console might not seem like a huge deal – it’s been available on Switch for a while – the recent announcement of several other Bethesda games coming this year is exciting. Nintendo fans will have access to more classic RPGs than many expected. Here’s a list of all the Bethesda Studios games confirmed to be released on the Switch 2 by the end of 2026. This list focuses specifically on new versions for the Switch 2, so games that work with the console through backwards compatibility aren’t included.
Shortly after its release, the anime shared some exciting visuals on its official X account. Due to the huge popularity of Cosmic Princess Kaguya, the anime will have a special one-week run in theaters starting February 20th, 2026. A new trailer was also released to announce the news. The event will include special screenings with audience participation, as well as talk shows. As a thank you, attendees will receive an A5 booklet filled with original artwork. Currently, these screenings are only available in Japan, and there’s no word yet on whether the film will be shown in U.S. theaters. All of these details were announced on the anime’s official website.
I really think Birds of Prey, which came out six years ago on February 7, 2020, doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Directed by Cathy Yan and with Margot Robbie producing, it was a total breath of fresh air for the DC universe. It ditched the dark and gloomy style of previous films for something bright, fun, and totally R-rated, focusing on Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) after she finally broke up with the Joker. It’s a shame it didn’t do better at the box office – it only made $205 million with an $82 million budget. But honestly, while everything else in the DC movies felt a little lost, Birds of Prey was a really cool, stylish, and put-together film that I think deserves way more love.
Lots of fantastic thriller movies fly under the radar, and the 1990s produced a wealth of them. These suspenseful, often mysterious, stories can be incredibly captivating, and the thriller genre consistently delivers. Unfortunately, many great 1990s thrillers have been unfairly forgotten and deserve more recognition.
