Okay, so *Weird Science* is one of those 80s classics you gotta see. It’s about these two totally awkward high schoolers, Gary and Wyatt, who are just desperate to get a girlfriend. They decide to use their computer skills – seriously, it’s the 80s, so computers are magic – to *create* their dream girl. They actually manage to bring this woman, Lisa, to life, and let me tell you, she’s way more than they expected! She’s got a mind of her own, loves to party, and… gets this… she has magical powers! It’s hilarious chaos. She ends up teaching them how to be more confident, but not before totally wrecking their house and accidentally turning their brother into this… blob thing. At first, Lisa seems like the ultimate fantasy, but she kind of becomes their protector. The ending is wild – she disappears, but then shows up as their gym teacher, so she can still look after them! It’s a really fun movie, and it definitely holds up.

As a longtime X-Men fan, I’ve noticed a lot of faces come and go. It’s easy to forget some of the characters who were part of the team, especially those who weren’t around for very long or who later became known as villains. I’ve been thinking about some of those lesser-remembered members lately, the ones who joined the X-Men but maybe didn’t get the spotlight they deserved.

Players often ask if they can interact with dogs in games. While it seems like a silly question for many titles – like *Call of Duty*, *Silksong*, or *Path of Exile*, which don’t usually feature pets – it’s actually surprisingly common. The real problem isn’t the question itself, but that some developers focus too much on the literal meaning and miss the bigger idea behind it.

An image shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the account Avengers Updates reveals a wrap gift given to a crew member working on *Avengers: Doomsday*: a piece of artwork featuring Doctor Doom. The crew member wrote, “It’s been a wild, WILD ride,” suggesting that filming for *Doomsday* is nearing completion. You can see the post below.

The original live-action *Addams Family* series defined how the family was brought to life on screen. While it wasn’t a perfect copy of the source material, the producers aimed for a slightly less menacing, yet still eccentric, portrayal. This adaptation successfully introduced the family to a new generation of fans, paving the way for the popular 1990s movies. Interestingly, the recent Netflix series *Wednesday* seems to have largely overlooked those films. *Wednesday* has instead revitalized interest in the Addams Family, deliberately emphasizing the dark and spooky elements that longtime fans appreciate.

One common issue with the Arrowverse shows is that they often overlook characters who could be really interesting. While it’s true these shows have a lot of characters to manage, that doesn’t excuse sidelining so many promising ones. Here are seven DC characters from the Arrowverse who deserve more attention.

Here is a look at the best cosmic teams in Marvel Comics, ranked by power levels.

Whenever Doctor Doom is mentioned, people immediately highlight his impressive accomplishments and memorable quotes, leading to the idea that he’s incredibly powerful and only loses when the story requires it. However, believing that is exactly what Doom wants you to think. While Doom certainly has some chilling moments, most of his celebrated victories actually happen when he’s on the verge of defeat, or are attempts to recover from a loss. In reality, Doctor Doom is arguably Marvel’s biggest overhyped villain, and there’s plenty of evidence to support that claim.

While helping the Hulk is one path, other characters with gamma-based powers have also found opportunities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Leader, Red Hulk, and Abomination all appeared in other projects after being introduced in *The Incredible Hulk*, and it’s likely Marvel Studios will introduce more gamma-powered heroes and villains soon. Here are seven such characters who haven’t yet made an appearance in the MCU.

PS5 players have enjoyed some games that used to be exclusive to Xbox this year, like *Helldivers 2* and *Gears of War: Reloaded*. On top of those, several new games launched specifically for PlayStation, making it a great year for PS5 owners. Now, a recent rumor suggests another popular Microsoft game, *Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024*, could be coming to PS5 this November.
