The comic series New X-Men significantly reshaped the X-Men universe, and Emma Frost was a key part of that change. Writer Grant Morrison introduced the concept of “secondary mutations,” starting with Emma. Morrison intended to feature Colossus, but after he was killed off while curing the Legacy Virus, Emma received a new ability: the power to turn her skin into diamond and gain incredible strength. Already a formidable villain, this transformation made the White Queen even more powerful. However, in 2006, she gained a third power that has largely been overlooked.

Now is a great time to officially add Cooler, Frieza’s brother, to the Dragon Ball story. There’s potential for new storylines and tougher challenges for Goku and Vegeta, and Cooler could be a fantastic villain. The movie Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, released in Japan in 1992, still feels relevant today and proves that this character deserves a modern update.

Originally a celebrated graphic novel released in 2006, V for Vendetta also became a hugely popular film. Starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, and John Hurt, the movie—director James McTeigue’s first—presents a chilling future where a totalitarian government controls the United Kingdom. A mysterious masked figure known as V recruits a young woman, Evey, to help spark a revolution. The film was critically and commercially successful, and it’s gaining renewed attention with a return to theaters this fall and a recent spot in HBO Max’s top 10 streaming titles (according to FlixPatrol).

Currently, the main detail revealed about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake is that it will probably remove the first-person Animus sequences that were present in the original game. Along with plans to update Assassin’s Creed: Unity to run at 60 frames per second, Ubisoft hasn’t shared much else about the remake, except that it will concentrate on the gameplay that happens within the Animus, and less on the story outside of it. While fans who enjoyed the sci-fi elements of the earlier Assassin’s Creed games might not be thrilled, this change likely won’t affect the less popular parts of Black Flag.

That show isn’t alone in seeing a resurgence like that.

This longevity really shows how beloved the original series is, and demonstrates what can happen when a show is thoughtfully updated.
