When an anime isn’t very popular, a long period of inactivity usually means it won’t be continued. This is especially disappointing when there’s still a slight possibility of more episodes. Whether it’s a suspenseful thriller or a fantasy series left on a cliffhanger, fans are eager for these anime to continue. Sadly, the lack of updates doesn’t give much reason to be optimistic.
Although Band of Brothers and The Pacific are well-known, the 2008 miniseries John Adams is perhaps HBO’s most overlooked historical drama. Starring Paul Giamatti as John Adams, the seven-part series is based on David McCullough’s biography and carefully details Adams’ life and the founding of the United States. All episodes were directed by Tom Hooper, who also directed The King’s Speech.
We’ll be posting live updates with all the winners and nominees across all 24 categories throughout the awards show. We’ll also share our thoughts on the biggest surprises, disappointments, and standout wins, starting with the Best Supporting Actress award and going all the way to Best Film. But before we get to the winners…
This win is particularly special because it marks the first Oscar for Madeline Madigan, four decades after she received her initial nomination for ‘Twice in a Lifetime.’ This is the longest wait ever for an actress – a gap of 40 years between her first nomination and finally winning, surpassing the previous record of 32 years held by Geraldine Page.
Things have gone from bad to really bad. It turns out Braka completely outsmarted us. He lured the entire Starfleet fleet – all except the badly damaged Athena – into a trap. He got us to pull all our ships back to Federation space, and then sealed off the area with a massive minefield. These aren’t ordinary mines, either. They react to any energy signature, so if a ship tries to get through, it could trigger a chain reaction, rip open subspace, and… well, it wouldn’t be pretty for anyone nearby. It’s a disaster.
Sometimes, when an anime tries something new, not living up to initial hopes can actually be a positive thing. But usually, it means the show is starting to decline, and it’s hard to recover. For anime like The Promised Neverland, it results in a disappointing ending. In other cases, viewers become frustrated and lower their expectations for the series.
People continue to enjoy Assassin’s Creed games, even the weaker ones, often finding even the simplest parts of them comforting and familiar. There’s one game, however, that was heavily criticized when it first came out and ultimately led to a major overhaul of the entire series: Unity. While many consider Unity to be one of the worst Assassin’s Creed games, I actually think it’s a fantastic game – and the best one in the series, deserving of much more recognition.
The 2020s haven’t been perfect for Wolverine, especially with some recent storylines, but there have still been plenty of highlights. We’ve seen some fantastic Wolverine comics – like Wolverine: Patch, which was almost on this list – and here are five of the best moments from the decade. Hopefully, things will only improve for the character going forward.
Some of the saddest characters in Rick and Morty show how the show became more focused on serious storytelling after its second season – a change that had both good and bad results. While this allowed characters like Rick and Beth to develop more depth, it also highlighted some plot holes from earlier episodes. A good example is Morty’s son, who disappears for long stretches, which feels odd now that the show often emphasizes important moments in Morty’s personal life.
Tim Roth, who played Emil Blonsky (The Abomination), discussed the possibility of reprising his role in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films. He was well-received for his return in the 2022 series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and fans are eager to see if he’ll appear in upcoming projects like Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. When asked about returning, Roth told GamesRadar+ that he’d be happy to, saying, “Yeah, just go. Be fun.”
