The world of Star Wars, through both its films and shows like The Clone Wars and Rebels, has increasingly delved into the lore of the Jedi. However, despite all this added backstory, many aspects of the Jedi remain confusing—and surprisingly, some of these inconsistencies appear even in the prequel movies, which were meant to expand our understanding of the Jedi Order, the Force, and their history.
It’s not always clear when a creator intentionally references another work versus just having similar ideas, but it’s widely accepted that many of the characters in the Invincible Universe were inspired by existing superheroes.
I was really fascinated to see some storyboards from Tim Burton’s Batman hit the auction block at Heritage Auctions recently! These weren’t scenes that made the final cut – they were created by the David Russell Group and depict a different take on a pivotal moment. The storyboard shows Robin actually fighting the Joker while Batman is stuck, which is wild to think about. It gives you a glimpse into how things could have gone if the studio had favored this alternate direction.
Recently, the anime Sakamoto Days has become a standout title in the popular shonen genre. It first aired last year as part of a two-part series and quickly gained attention for its unique blend of action and comedy. Sakamoto Days has become a hit, achieving high streaming numbers on Netflix and leading to an announcement for a second season – which promises to be even better than the first. While fans wait for the new season, the creators have been releasing short, seasonal animated clips each month, and the latest one celebrates the arrival of June.
Director Joe Dante made a huge impact on 1980s cinema, directing many popular and well-loved films. He worked on projects such as The Howling, Twilight Zone: The Movie, and The ‘Burbs, but the decade is best remembered for his biggest hit, Gremlins.
About five years ago, someone found a brand new, still-sealed copy of the original Super Mario Bros. game while cleaning out a desk drawer. The game had been bought as a Christmas present in 1986, but for some reason, it was never given to the recipient. It stayed hidden away for decades until it was rediscovered in 2021. The owner then sold it at Heritage Auctions for an incredible $660,000 on April 2, 2021 – far exceeding the previous record of $114,000 set in July 2020. It’s a little sad to think of a forgotten Christmas gift, but the owner certainly received a great reward for it!
This game shines when its fast-paced battles take place in beautiful environments, offering satisfying moments of strategic attack. However, it’s a bit difficult for new players to pick up and some technical issues hold it back from being truly great. While experienced shooter fans will likely enjoy World of Tanks: HEAT, these challenges make it harder to recommend to more casual gamers.
Here are the six strongest heroes in Resident Evil history.
While promoting Season 3 of House of the Dragon (launching June 21st), Collett spoke with ComicBook about potential comic book roles. He revealed fans have been suggesting he play Nightwing from DC Comics, a character he wasn’t initially familiar with. After the interviewer pointed out his resemblance to Dick Grayson, Collett jokingly made a direct appeal to James Gunn, asking him to consider him for the part.
At Summer Game Fest this year, PM Studios showcased Avatar Legends. I got to play a 30-minute match against a coworker, and it was really fun! We tried out all eight starting characters – Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Azula, Kyoshi, and Korra – and they all felt pretty balanced. Some were easier to control and had more complex moves, but overall, anyone could win with a little skill. The developers plan to add even more playable characters in the future.
