Predator: Badland’s Place in Franchise Timeline Confirmed (and It Makes Sense)

In an interview with IGN, director Shane Black explained how *Predator: Badlands* fits into the overall *Predator* timeline. He noted that during production, *Alien: Romulus* hadn’t been released yet, and he was unsure of the direction of *Alien: Earth*. Because of this, the team decided to set *Badlands* far in the future, ensuring all previous events happened before the film’s story. Black wanted to avoid creating a complicated timeline that would feel like ‘homework’ for viewers, making it easy to enjoy *Badlands* without needing to track where it fits relative to other films.

Stranger Things Season 5 Will Finally Give Us the Answer We’ve Been Waiting 9 Years For

In a recent Variety interview, the creators of *Stranger Things*, Matt and Ross Duffer, discussed their plans for the final season. They emphasized the importance of resolving all previous storylines, including finally explaining the mystery of the Upside Down. Ross Duffer explained that they’d been putting off answering questions about it for years, always thinking, ‘Not yet.’ But with the final season, they knew it was time to provide answers.

7 Anime Villains Who Were Better Than The Heroes

Some fans might consider it unfair to compare them, especially since Vegeta has reformed from his villainous past. However, even when he was a villain, Vegeta was a more developed and interesting character than Goku. He came from a destroyed planet and served the one who annihilated it, making him a truly formidable antagonist early in the *Dragon Ball* series, but also a surprisingly captivating one. The *Dragon Ball Z* series actually benefited from focusing more on Vegeta’s story, particularly during the Namek Saga.

One of the Best Vampire Movies Is Now Easier Than Ever To Stream (And It’s Based on a Comic Book)

Before he directed one of the *Twilight* movies, David Slade made a really cool horror film you should check out. It’s called *30 Days of Night*, and it’s based on a comic book series. I started watching it on Tubi and Paramount+ just recently – they even have the sequel there too! The story takes place in this tiny town in Alaska called Barrow, where they have a whole month of complete darkness every year. That’s when things get scary because vampires show up and just start attacking everyone. It’s a pretty brutal and intense movie, honestly!

Dead Space 4 Gets Update From Series Creator

After the original *Dead Space* was discontinued, fans were thrilled when a remake was released a few years ago. The remake was a fantastic update to the beloved horror game and received widespread acclaim. This success led fans to eagerly request either a remake of *Dead Space 2* or a completely new fourth installment. Unfortunately, it’s been two years with no announcements about either project. Reports suggest both ideas were considered, but ultimately rejected due to the remake’s sales figures. However, there’s still a possibility that a new game could happen.

One of One Piece’s Best Animators Returns After More Than a Year

Animator Ota has made a significant impact on the *One Piece* anime, notably contributing to seven standout episodes. He’s particularly celebrated for his work on episodes 1072 (featuring Gear 5), 1100 (Luffy vs. Lucci), and 1112 (Shanks vs. Eustass Kidd). Having last been credited in July 2024 with episode 1112, fans are excited about his return, announced via the official *One Piece* social media channels. The announcement included a preview of his key animation from the popular episode 1072, and confirmed his participation in episode 1146.

Marvel Just Secretly Set Up the Return of the Most Evil X-Men Hero

During the Krakoan Age, Beast committed terrible acts, including cruel experiments on aliens and actions that qualified as war crimes – even wiping an entire country off the map. He became a full-fledged villain, and people longed for the hero he once was. A solution was found by creating a clone of Beast, one who only remembered his heroic past, and this clone helped defeat the villainous original and his clone army. The original Beast seemingly died a hero, but I believe Marvel has secretly brought him back in the latest X-Men storyline, “Age of Revelation.”

Hogwarts Legacy Just Got a New Feature, But It’s Not What Fans Wanted

Honestly, it’s been pretty disappointing how little support Hogwarts Legacy has gotten *after* it launched, especially considering how huge the game was. It feels like Avalanche Software moved on to making a sequel pretty quickly, and that’s probably why. The biggest example? We’ve been asking for New Game Plus since day one, and it *still* hasn’t arrived! They said back in 2024 they were *talking* about it, but we haven’t heard anything since. It’s weird because they *did* just add support for the new ROG Ally handheld, which is cool, but it feels like they’re focusing on the wrong things when so many of us are still waiting for core features.

All 13 DCU Actors Who Have Played Multiple Characters

Several key actors in the new DC Universe, like David Corenswet, John Cena, Jennifer Holland, and Sean Gunn, have already played different characters. This is partly due to the exploration of alternate universes in season 2 of *Peacemaker*, and it’s likely to continue as organizations like Salvation and ARGUS become more important in the DCU. We might even see voice actors taking on multiple roles, meaning this trend could expand as the franchise grows.
