Even though superhero shows are incredibly popular right now, DC Comics has a strong background in television, consistently delivering shows that focus on well-developed characters and creative visuals. Remarkably, many of these older shows still hold up today, remaining high-quality despite changes in how television is made and what audiences expect.
The new sci-fi movie, Mercy, starring Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt, has received mixed reactions. The story follows a police officer (Pratt) who stands accused of murdering his wife. He’s put on trial by an AI court system – one he actually helped develop to fight crime. The AI judge, Judge Maddox (Ferguson), gives him just 90 minutes to prove his innocence using the system’s technology, or face immediate execution. While the film’s concept is intriguing and relevant to current discussions about AI, it ultimately didn’t quite deliver on its promise.
Most of the Straw Hat crew, like Zoro, Usopp, and Brook, are likely to achieve their ambitions. However, not everyone succeeds, and some goals are simply unattainable – even for these pirates. Specifically, these three characters are pursuing dreams that seem impossible to reach.
I think the 2000s and 2010s were the best time for gaming. I was skilled enough to enjoy games, but didn’t have many adult responsibilities yet. It seems a lot of people feel the same way, judging by all the remakes and reboots we’re seeing. Luckily, some older games are still fantastic, and fans can revisit them even if the graphics and gameplay aren’t as modern. Here are 5 RPGs from the 2000s that are still worth playing if you can find them.

Ubisoft is undergoing a significant overhaul, reorganizing its teams and priorities. This includes shutting down some studios and personnel changes, with several key people leaving prominent game franchises. At least one departing employee is suing the company.
While Star Trek: Discovery found success on CBS All Access and Paramount+, it sparked a lot of debate among fans. Changes to the Klingons and the introduction of the Spore Drive were particularly controversial. Some critics felt the show’s darker themes and focus on one main character moved away from the hopeful, team-based spirit of the original Star Trek. Despite this, Discovery was important for Paramount+, helping to establish the streaming service and creating a connected universe of stories. This led to several spin-off shows expanding the Star Trek timeline, with more projects potentially on the way.
I was so excited to finally see Yoshi fully realized in animation after that little tease at the end of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and honestly, he looks exactly as I imagined! What I really appreciate about Illumination’s Mario movies is how they nail that video game aesthetic, but then elevate it with incredible lighting, color, and movement. With Yoshi, the design was never going to be a huge surprise – the real mystery was always what kind of personality they’d give him in this version.
