Remember those Super Nintendo games your older brother or sister probably beat for you in the ’90s? You can now play through them yourself!

Here are the standout original character designs from Marvel Comics that appear specifically in the “Days of Future Past” timeline, also called Earth-811.

As a big fan of The Big Bang Theory, I’ve noticed all the spinoffs have been prequels, digging into Sheldon’s past and his family. But that’s about to change! Chuck Lorre is working with Bill Prady again – the original co-creator – and they’re making a completely new show set in the present day: Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. It’s going to focus on Kevin Sussman’s character, Stuart Bloom, and is expected to hit HBO Max sometime this year. What I’m really excited about is that it seems like this show will finally fulfill some of the potential that was hinted at in the original series – it’s been a long time coming, and I can’t wait to see where they take it!

Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films made two swords incredibly famous: Sting, the Elvish dagger that glows around orcs, and Andúril, the powerful sword wielded by Aragorn. These weapons became iconic thanks to detailed design and the films’ massive popularity. While Sting and Andúril are well-deserved favorites, many other memorable swords have appeared in fantasy movies and become part of pop culture.

The new Scrubs revival did a great job bringing back many of the show’s beloved characters. Along with the main cast – including J.D. Dorian, Elliot Reid, Chris Turk, Carla Espinosa, and Perry Cox – fans also enjoyed seeing familiar faces in recurring and cameo roles, such as The Janitor, Todd Quinlan, Crazy Hooch, and Jordan, Dr. Cox’s ex-wife, among others.

Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is clearly inspired by the classic NES game from Konami released in 1987, and it mostly succeeds as a fun and engaging action platformer, featuring enjoyable combat and clever level design.

Just how strong is Doctor Doom, and what allows him to achieve so much? Examining the comics, Doctor Doom and Thor have only directly battled a few times. This is because Doom is a clever strategist who recognizes Asgardians are generally more powerful than he is. He’s noted that while superpowered individuals have abilities, Asgardians are power itself. So, what’s allowing him to accomplish this in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

A particularly funny moment happened 18 years ago in the David Tennant episode, “The Fires of Pompeii.” In this episode, the Doctor and Donna Noble traveled to ancient Rome and discovered what really caused the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. During their adventure, they also encountered two characters who would later become significant to the show, including one who would eventually become a Doctor himself.

Good news for animation fans! Studio Ghibli announced that seven of its most popular movies will be shown in North American theaters this year. This is part of the annual Studio Ghibli Fest, which brings the studio’s beloved films back to the big screen. Here’s how Studio Ghibli describes the event:

Bleszinski believes the decision to revisit and deliver what fans want is a good one. He mentioned the anticipation surrounding ‘E-Day,’ noting the numerous articles written about it. He feels the potential for powerful, cinematic scenes is huge, specifically referencing the emotional impact of Marcus reaching for Dom’s hand – a moment fans affectionately dubbed the ‘ultimate gaming bromance.’ He expressed strong approval of returning to that emotional core rather than simply adding a zombie version of Dom as a multiplayer feature.
