Here’s a look back at the last twenty-five years of superhero films, with a spotlight on the very best movies from that era.

Numerous films and TV shows, such as Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, The Man in the High Castle (on Prime Video), Total Recall (based on “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”), and Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), have been successfully adapted from the writer’s work. However, some of his most compelling stories haven’t made it to the screen, despite efforts to do so. These are the most noticeable gaps in the list of Philip K. Dick adaptations.

Popular survival games like Minecraft, Valheim, and Grounded are often best enjoyed with friends. However, many multiplayer-focused games don’t offer a compelling experience for solo players. If you’re looking for a fantastic survival game you can enjoy on your own, here are five to consider.

The latest trailer for Avengers: Doomsday dropped this week, giving Marvel fans even more to be excited about. We now know what’s happening with Namor and the Atlanteans, and it’s been confirmed that M’Baku is the new king of Wakanda, with Shuri as his Black Panther. But the biggest reveal was the introduction of the Fantastic Four into the main Marvel Cinematic Universe! Ben Grimm made a memorable appearance, interacting with the Wakandans, and we finally got a first look at how the team will appear in the upcoming movie.

After appearing in shows like Sons of Anarchy (as Opie Winston), The Walking Dead (as Beta), and Remember the Titans (as Gerry Bertier), actor Jovan Hurst will play Kratos in the upcoming live-action God of War series. Interestingly, this isn’t Hurst’s first involvement with the franchise – he previously voiced Thor in God of War Ragnarok.

The anime series Cardfight!! Vanguard first aired in 2011, following the manga’s release in 2010. To celebrate the series’ fifteenth anniversary, Studio MAPPA—known for popular anime like Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and Hell’s Paradise—created a new promotional video. This is a shift, as the original series was produced by TMS Entertainment. Despite ending after sixty-five episodes, Cardfight!! Vanguard has continued to return in different forms, demonstrating its lasting popularity. You can watch the new video below.

The official One Piece spinoff manga, One Piece In Love, will conclude with its next chapter on January 22nd. Chapter 180 will be the final installment, marking the end of the series after six years of publication on Shueisha’s Jump+ app in Japan. The One Piece franchise announced the series’ ending on social media.

Embark Studios built a really impressive world for Arc Raiders, but the story hasn’t lived up to its potential. The missions are fairly uninspired, and while there are a few cutscenes, they don’t do the world justice. Even though the gameplay is fun, I’m hoping for a more compelling reason to get invested and keep playing. That’s where Bungie’s Marathon could help, as Bungie is known for crafting captivating worlds.

Superman’s origin story has been retold many times, including in Absolute Superman and the New 52 series. However, a particularly well-crafted reimagining from 22 years ago, Superman: Secret Identity, is often overlooked.

It’s quite ironic that Stranger Things, a show famous for expertly playing with viewers’ feelings, decided to end its story with ambiguity. The show became known for characters who made clear decisions, recognizable personalities, and straightforward emotions, even with occasional dramatic flair. However, when it came to a final, defining moment, the show seemed hesitant to commit to a clear outcome – and a new Netflix documentary reveals the reason why. It’s hard not to feel disappointed by what that reason turns out to be.
