Plot twists can sometimes be obvious and fall flat, but usually stories take unexpected turns. The most effective twists are surprising and impactful, yet still feel like a natural part of the story.

Then came Akira – a movie that completely blew me away. It plunged me into a futuristic, gritty Tokyo and redefined what I believed was possible with animation and narrative. It’s a truly epic film, and all the hype is deserved.

After the events surrounding Elbaf, many fans believed Shamrock was the one communicating with the Five Elders and that Shanks remained a fundamentally good character. However, a recent announcement about the One Piece anime has upended those assumptions, creating even more uncertainty about the direction of Shanks’ storyline.

The show boasts a fantastic cast – including Harvey Guillén, Natasia Demetriou, Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Mark Proksch, and Doug Jones – with interesting characters and engaging stories that made it consistently worthwhile. While all six seasons are enjoyable, some are definitely stronger than others.

Here is an overview of the game, via Limeleaf Games:

Marvel has hinted at several potential new superhero teams for Avengers: Doomsday, and fans are hoping to see the Guardians of the Galaxy return for the sequel. The Guardians have been a key part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since they first appeared in 2014, but their future is currently uncertain. With a revamped team of interesting new characters, many are eager to see the Guardians join the fight against Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.

With October ending and November beginning, HBO Max updated its streaming library, just like other major services. Along with new shows like Dangerous Liaisons and Puss In Boots, they’ve added a bunch of holiday favorites, including five all-time classic Christmas movies. Subscribers can now stream the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol, the beloved A Christmas Story, Will Ferrell’s comedy Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and the animated hit The Polar Express.

Even popular Disney beliefs aren’t always accurate. Misunderstandings can arise around core story elements – like the sibling rivalry in The Lion King – and even famous quotes attributed to Walt Disney himself. It’s unclear how these inaccuracies spread, but thanks to dedicated fans, new stories, and insights from Disney’s creative teams, we can now clarify five commonly held beliefs about Disney and reveal the true history.

This time, Ghostface isn’t just targeting Sidney, but her entire family – including her husband, Mark (Joel McHale), and her daughter, played by Isabel May. The trailer revealed a touching connection to the original film: Sidney’s daughter is also named Tatum, after Sid’s best friend and Dewey’s sister, who was famously played by Rose McGowan. The first Tatum had a particularly memorable and tragic death in the original Scream, and Sidney named her daughter in her honor. Now, Sidney is desperately hoping her daughter can avoid the same fate.

The Saints Row series initially focused on gang life, with Saints Row: The Third being particularly exaggerated. The games then took a dramatic shift with Saints Row IV, which featured superpowers and a plot involving fighting aliens as the President of the United States. A further expansion even sent players to Hell. After this, the series felt creatively exhausted, leading to a reboot. Sadly, the rebooted Saints Row was unsuccessful and ultimately led to the closure of the development studio, Volition. It didn’t resonate with fans and didn’t live up to the quality of previous games.
