In the anime Dandadan, the Serpo aliens pose a significant danger to Okarun and Momo, initially kidnapping Momo which unexpectedly awakened her psychic powers. Though defeated early on, these unsettling aliens reappear as a threat later in the first season, but haven’t been seen in the most recent season. If the anime stays true to the original manga, fans can anticipate the Serpos returning in future installments. For those familiar with the Dandadan manga, the story only grows more complex and expansive. You can find some spooky New Year’s shorts available to watch below.

Despite some recent challenges with Marvel movies, Disney has still had a strong year, with three of its films ranking among the highest earners. Surprisingly, Disney’s biggest hit of 2025 isn’t a Marvel film, a live-action remake, or a new Avatar movie—it’s Zootopia 2. The sequel has already earned over $1.46 billion worldwide, breaking Disney records and proving the franchise is a major success, potentially surpassing even their most established properties.

The Doctor has gone by many names throughout his adventures. One notable alias, “John Smith,” was first suggested by companion Jamie McCrimmon in a 1968 episode called “The Wheel in Space.” The Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee, embraced the name while living on Earth, and even David Tennant’s Doctor used it, famously as a clue in the 2006 episode “School Reunion.” However, after using “John Smith” for years, the Doctor has now decided to go by something new.

A new game called Enchanted Wonderland was recently listed on the ESRB website, as reported by Gematsu. The game is planned for release on Nintendo Switch and will be published by Konami.

Eagle-eyed Marvel fans have spotted something interesting in the trailers for Avengers: Doomsday. When the movie’s title appears, it quickly changes into a countdown to the release date. But for just one frame during this transition, a series of numbers flashes on the screen. These numbers have puzzled fans, who are trying to figure out if they mean anything. Now, a new theory has surfaced that could explain them, and it connects to hints the Russo brothers have already given about the film.

As a huge movie fan, I’m really excited about the news that Amazon is continuing the Tomb Raider story with Sophie Turner as Lara Croft – and Sigourney Weaver joining the cast! It’s no surprise to me that Alicia Vikander’s 2018 Tomb Raider is suddenly popular again on Netflix. That film showed a young, determined Lara, and it’s a really compelling origin story – she’s trying to figure out what happened to her father, and it leads her on this incredible, dangerous adventure to a legendary tomb near Japan.

Hulu took down its series adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63 earlier this year, almost ten years after it first came out. Now, surprisingly, the show starring James Franco will be available on Netflix starting January 7th.

Discussions about Batman often center on how he handles villains, especially their repeated escapes from prison. A common debate is whether Batman should kill them instead of always capturing them. However, the core of this argument often isn’t about Batman’s actions, but about the villains themselves. Many who argue Batman should kill, particularly the Joker, do so because of the Joker’s horrific crimes, not because they believe Batman is justified in taking a life. Essentially, the issue isn’t with Batman’s restraint, but with the Joker’s unrepentant villainy.
