The company’s stores have often faced criticism regarding how they treat employees and their sales tactics. Recent news indicates these problems are still ongoing, even though the company has tried to improve things with special events. This could be a sign that GameStop, as it currently operates, may not have much time left.
Lucas made a similar decision with the Star Wars prequels. He realized fans didn’t respond well to the idea of midi-chlorians after The Phantom Menace and decided to move away from it, calling further focus on them “indulgent.” He also learned something else from that film: Darth Maul proved surprisingly popular, and Lucas quickly regretted killing him off so soon.
Some movie adaptations just don’t live up to the original books, feeling muddled, unoriginal, or losing what made the story special. We’ve rounded up seven of the most disappointing book-to-movie adaptations – the ones that consistently appear on ‘worst of’ lists.

A new teaser for Scream 7, posted on the film’s official X account, looks back at Sidney Prescott’s previous encounters with Ghostface while hinting at what’s to come. The video begins with the iconic “Do you like scary movies?” line from the original 1996 Scream, and features quick shots of Sidney and Drew Barrymore’s character, Casey Becker.

Wow, the final season of Attack on Titan really threw me for a loop with that time skip! It’s been so intense following Eren as he grapples with everything he’s learned. And of course, Levi Ackerman continues to be a total standout – he always steals the show! To celebrate the re-release, theaters are giving out some awesome bonuses to fans, and I’m especially excited about the new artwork MAPPA created! It’s a stunning visual of Levi, all bandaged up and looking determined with his spear. But you gotta be quick – they’re only available from January 16th to 22nd, and it’s first-come, first-served, so I’m definitely planning a trip to the cinema ASAP!
Cheetah, one of Wonder Woman’s main enemies in DC Comics, doesn’t always get the attention she deserves, unlike villains like Lex Luthor or the Joker. Her story has the potential for both exciting action and deeply emotional moments, as seen in the story ‘Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League.’ Originally, Barbara was an archaeologist and a friend to Wonder Woman, but a dangerous cult forced her to participate in a ritual that transformed her into the wife of a dark god named Urzkartaga. This deity then turned her into the ferocious, cannibalistic creature known as Cheetah. Despite having a compelling look, abilities, and history, a recent storyline has unfortunately highlighted a major weakness within the character.
