The Secret Origin of Nintendo’s Mario

Mario wasn’t always the face of Nintendo. He first appeared in the 1981 game Donkey Kong as a character simply called Jumpman. Interestingly, he was rescuing Pauline, not Princess Peach! While Donkey Kong was the villain, he was actually the main focus of the game. So, why did Nintendo eventually rename him Mario and make him the star of over 200 games? The answer is surprisingly heartwarming and connected to Nintendo’s initial attempts to become successful in the United States – Mario’s story began here.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Is Deeply Problematic (And It Needs to Be Addressed)

James Cameron and his team largely succeed with the new film.

Avengers: Doomsday’s Teasers Just Missed a Golden Opportunity to Solve the MCU’s Biggest Mystery

The poor reviews of Secret Invasion might be because the people in charge don’t want to highlight past errors, and G’iah’s absence likely contributes to that. However, not every unanswered question is so complicated. There’s one existing mystery that Marvel could easily resolve to the audience’s satisfaction.

Why Stranger Things Season 6 Isn’t Happening & What Spinoffs Are In the Works

The final episodes of Stranger Things successfully defeat both Vecna and the Mind Flayer, and destroy the Upside Down, largely restoring order to things.

Although this could have paved the way for a sixth season, the show’s future will explore different storylines.

6 Best Demon Slayer Nichirin Blades, Ranked

The color of a Demon Slayer’s sword isn’t random—it shows their unique breathing style and inner strength. For example, a red sword often means the user fights with fire and passion, like Renguku, while yellow suggests incredible speed, similar to Zenitsu. Black swords are the rarest and their meaning is still unknown, even to experienced Demon Slayers. These colors act as a visual code for different fighting styles. Beyond color, each sword also has its own distinct shape—Mitsuri’s is like a whip, and Tengen uses cleavers. While a swordsman’s skill determines how powerful a sword becomes, it’s clear that no two Nichirin Blades are exactly alike. Here’s a look at some of the most popular and memorable Nichirin Blades from the Demon Slayer anime.

HBO Max Finally Brings A Cult DC Movie Back To Streaming (With The Sequel On The Way)

As a huge fan of dark, supernatural thrillers, I was thrilled to see Constantine finally hit HBO Max! It’s based on the classic DC Hellblazer comics and stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a really compelling character. The story kicks off with Constantine having already faced the ultimate low – he tried to take his own life and actually went to Hell. Now, he knows he’s destined for damnation unless he can somehow redeem himself. The movie follows him as he teams up with a cop, Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), to investigate a supposed suicide, and they quickly get pulled into this massive battle between Heaven and Hell. It’s a really engaging ride!
