Marvel’s biggest strength – its incredibly connected universe, which other studios admired – eventually became a problem. The need to follow years of storylines before understanding new movies and shows started to discourage new viewers. To fix this, Marvel Studios created “Marvel Spotlight,” a label for projects like the upcoming Wonder Man, intended to be accessible without any prior knowledge. However, this isn’t always the case in practice.

As a big fan, I’ve noticed Funko Pops are everywhere these days, and it totally makes sense why. They’re small, they all have that same cool style – you instantly know what they are with those big heads and simple designs – and they look great on display. So when Funko announces a new Lara Croft Pop, it’s a really good sign that the Tomb Raider franchise is still popular and people are still excited about it. But this time it’s even cooler! It’s not just one Lara Croft figure; they’re releasing three different ones, and that’s where the real collecting fun begins!

A recent image on Walmart’s website showed several games available through Nintendo Switch Online, and fans noticed something interesting: both Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes were included. These games aren’t currently available on the Nintendo Switch Online’s GameCube selection, leading many to believe they’ll be added soon. It appears this promotional image accidentally revealed Nintendo’s plans before an official announcement.

I’m so excited! They’re making a new anime called Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol! It’s going to cover the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc from the Dragon Ball Super manga. This is the first of two new stories happening after the Tournament of Power, and it’s been continuing the anime’s story in manga form. The slightly strange thing is, the manga is currently paused, so this anime will probably only be around for a little while before they run out of source material again.

Square Enix stands out because they’re willing to try new things creatively, even with their established and popular game series. Some of these series are incredibly well-known, while others have a dedicated, smaller fanbase and continue to influence game creators today. These franchises are fundamental to how modern role-playing games are designed, impacting everything from small independent projects to big-budget titles. While Square Enix has also released some excellent standalone games that didn’t get sequels, the following represent the very best of their core franchises.

Surprisingly, Primate received positive reviews. And to finish the month strong, Sam Raimi is back with the horror film Send Help, which looks very entertaining. However, Send Help might overshadow the month’s standout horror movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. This raises a question about what’s next for the 28 Years Later franchise.

No matter who wins the fight between Dabura and Mahoraga, Yuka is almost certain to die unless someone intervenes. She’s already very ill, confined to a wheelchair, and losing her vision. With only three months left to live, Yuka has accepted her fate and is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the jujutsu world. Surprisingly, the other sorcerers seem to have come to terms with her death and haven’t tried to save her.

The horror film M3gan 2.0 didn’t fare as well as its predecessor. While the first M3gan was a huge success, earning $181 million worldwide, the sequel only brought in $39 million despite costing between $15 and $25 million to make. After a brief and unsuccessful run in theaters, M3gan 2.0 initially streamed on Peacock, but it was unexpectedly removed on January 26th and is now available exclusively on Netflix. The film features the rebuilt AI doll battling a human-like military robot named AMELIA.

Here are 10 Spider-Man characters we want to see Sony share with Marvel in the future.

The new Funko Pop for Hololive Vtuber Mori Calliope is incredibly cute! Calliope is known for her rapping and her design as the Grim Reaper’s apprentice, and the Pop perfectly captures her look. I especially love the pink eyes and the inclusion of her signature scythe – it wouldn’t be complete without it! All of Calliope’s fans – affectionately known as ‘Dead Beats’ – should definitely grab this for their collections.
