According to showrunner Eric Robles in an interview with Empire Magazine, the new series will feel like a natural continuation of the original, as if it could be a live-action season. He explained that the goal was to return to Hawkins and create a story that felt like a missing piece of the show. Unlike previous seasons focused on global threats, this story will have smaller stakes, centering on the kids working to protect their town rather than the world.

The recent Super Bowl ad for The Mandalorian & Grogu isn’t very effective, mainly because it’s a comedic take on the show without showing any actual scenes from the movie. This continues a pattern of disappointing marketing for the film. The initial trailer wasn’t well-received, and with the release still over three months away, this ad needed to be a big hit to generate excitement. It’s strange that they haven’t released the footage they showed at Star Wars Celebration Japan in April – that could have been a solution.

Most movies are designed to be one-time events, but certain films have stories rich enough to support a whole series. The movies listed here, whether they were critical failures or eventual successes, all share one thing: a lot of unrealized potential. With the right creative team, they could be successfully expanded into sequels or even prequels.

The series is known for its exciting character moments and epic scenes. However, fans have long wished for a deeper look into a particular story, which the original series only hinted at. This lack of full exploration diminished its potential impact. Now, the My Hero Academia spinoff, Vigilantes, has unexpectedly provided that full story. Vigilantes thoroughly examines Aizawa’s time as a student, revealing details about him and his classmates, including Kurogiri, who later became a major villain. This spinoff actually highlights how much stronger the original series could have been if this story had been fully developed.

I’ve always been fascinated by Batman, and one thing that’s always stuck with me is his famous rule about not killing. It’s funny to think that he didn’t always have that rule – it actually developed over time, becoming a core part of who he is, even appearing in a story back in 1940 when he was teaching Robin. It’s been debated endlessly by fans and even within the comics themselves – people always wonder if things would be better if he just ended the Joker. But honestly, I was shocked to see that in a recent event, DC KO, Batman actually broke that rule and did kill him. It was a huge moment, and it’s really made me rethink everything I thought I knew about the character.

Director Dan Trachtenberg recently told io9 that he’s actively planning the future of the Predator franchise. He’s at the same stage he was after Prey was released, brainstorming ideas – including focusing on a Predator as the main character and developing an animated film that explores different time periods. These ideas are all moving forward at the same time. Despite taking on new projects at Paramount, Trachtenberg confirmed he’s still dedicated to the Predator universe and excited about its potential.
