Ridley Scott was an executive producer on The Man in the High Castle, a series based on Philip K. Dick’s 1962 novel. When Prime Video (which took on the show after it was initially developed by the BBC and SyFy) first announced the project, they prominently featured Scott’s name, recognizing the value of having a well-known science fiction director involved. The show ran for four seasons, from 2015 to 2019, and received positive reviews despite some behind-the-scenes changes. Now, all four seasons of The Man in the High Castle will be available on Netflix starting March 11 thanks to a new agreement with Amazon.

Surprisingly, Marvel Comics initially announced a series of comics connected to the film Rogue One, including a three-issue prequel and a separate one-off issue planned for release later.

DC Comics made some exciting announcements at ComicsPro, including the return of the Teen Titans! The team hasn’t had its own regular series since 2022’s Teen Titans Academy, but they’re back for a new chapter, this time with Red Hood joining the lineup.

Shuhei Tanizaki’s manga, Gonron Egg, had a strong start when it launched last fall, but it hasn’t been doing well recently. A time skip after just 15 chapters was a worrying sign, and now it appears the series is heading towards cancellation, with the final battle set to begin next week. With only 16 chapters published, it looks like the series will be ending soon.

Moviegoers have a relatively quiet week ahead until March 1st, when both Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom become available. If you’re not interested in dinosaurs or science fiction, Mark Wahlberg’s Deepwater Horizon is another option.

From the start, the game got its main character right. Link, the hero of The Legend of Zelda, is a gaming icon, and the qualities that make him so popular were present from the very beginning. While it took time for other characters like Zelda and Ganon to become fully developed, Link had a relatable personality and enough general qualities to allow players to easily connect with and play as him. Throughout the series, from the first game to the latest, Link has consistently been a fantastic protagonist.
