Fans had predicted the cancellation of Akira Inui’s Alien Headbutt for several weeks, as the story seemed to be rushing towards a quick ending. Now, those predictions have been confirmed. After initial reports of an early finish, Alien Headbutt has officially been cancelled in Shonen Jump with the release of its 16th and final chapter. Despite not reaching its full potential, many fans are disappointed to see the series end.

The Power Rangers franchise partnered with nWay in 2017 to create Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, a mobile fighting game featuring characters from throughout the series’ history. The game was enjoyable and had a great selection of fighters, leading fans to request a similar game for consoles. In 2019, their wish came true with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, developed by nWay and Lionsgate Games. While the game could have been even better, it provided a really satisfying fighting game experience for longtime Power Rangers fans.

I was so excited to see this game is finally coming to Xbox Series X/S! From what I’ve heard, it’s going to look amazing with 4K resolution and run super smooth at 60 FPS. They’re even adding some nice quality-of-life improvements, which is great. And as a long-time fan, I’m especially happy they’re including all 60 Relics that were originally in the PlayStation Vita version. Remember those? Collecting them all unlocked extra story details about the characters through these cool murals, and I can’t wait to do that again!

On June 6th and 7th, attendees can expect updates on Control Resonant with creative director Mikael Kasurinen, a behind-the-scenes look at Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis with actress Alix Wilton Regan, and details on a variety of other games, including The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, among others.

During the week of May 18th to 24th, the movie Nope reached number 8 on Netflix’s list of the most popular films in the United States. It climbed higher than Cleaner and Apex to make it into the top 10 for the first time. Nope became available on Netflix on May 18th.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm is an anime building on the legacy of the acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist. From the start, it showed great potential and hasn’t disappointed fans. As the story unfolds, its detailed world and complex themes have made it even more engaging. The action has been consistently improving, and the latest episode hints at a major, high-stakes conflict. If the studio, Bones Film, delivers on this setup, Daemons of the Shadow Realm has the potential to be a truly outstanding series.

As a long-time fan, it’s really sad to see Destiny 2 winding down. Honestly, it wasn’t a huge shock – the last few expansions just didn’t hit the mark, and a lot of us were frustrated. Plus, it sounds like things weren’t great behind the scenes at Bungie and Sony either. It’s a bit wild to see so many players trying to play the game as much as possible before it’s gone, almost like we’re all trying to give it one last hurrah. But, it’s also interesting to see everyone talking about Marathon now. It’s cool that Bungie’s focusing on that, and right now, it’s their biggest active project, which is exciting!

The Speed Force is a powerful energy source in DC Comics that allows speedsters to do incredible things, and these are the members of the Flash Family who truly master its potential.

Back in 1994, a Fantastic Four movie was actually made and ready for release! It was advertised at Comic-Con, scheduled for theaters, and even had a premiere planned at the Mall of America. Directed by Oley Sassone, the film starred Alex Hyde-White as Reed Richards, Rebecca Staab as Sue Storm, Jay Underwood as Johnny Storm, and Joseph Culp as Doctor Doom—all on a very small, $1 million budget. They did everything you’d expect: released trailers, sent the actors on a promotional tour, and Fox announced a May 31st release date. The mayor of the host city was even going to officially declare a “Fantastic Four Day.” So, what happened to it, and why has almost nobody ever seen it?

After Steven Moffat left as head writer in 2017, things have been difficult for Doctor Who. Now, with a major agreement between Disney and the BBC falling apart, the show’s future is uncertain. The planned Christmas special has been delayed, adding to the concerns of fans. This raises the questions: what’s causing these problems, and can Doctor Who be saved?
