In a tweet, Colantonio expressed his opinion that the Gamepass model, which he believes has been negatively impacting the gaming industry for over a decade and is supported by Microsoft’s seemingly endless resources, will eventually face consequences. He doubts that Gamepass can peacefully coexist with other business models, suggesting that it may either drive all competitors out of business or be forced to withdraw itself.
Initially portrayed as the foundation of the Walls, these colossal beings known as Wall Titans, once activated by Eren’s Rumbling, wreaked havoc across the globe, annihilating around 80% of humanity to safeguard Paradis. Though they appeared unstoppable and akin to natural catastrophes, the end for these Wall Titans remained uncertain. With all Eldians losing their titan transformation ability, fans pondered if these titans would retain their titan form or revert back to humans. In an AMA for Attack on Titan‘s 15th anniversary, translated by @AttackOnFans on X, Isayama finally shed light on this enigma, delivering a chilling conclusion to their storyline and generating even more heated debates among fans.
In numerous instances, actors spontaneously deliver memorable phrases during their performances, yet this isn’t the sole occasion when they deviate from the script.

In 2009, the sequel to Call of Juarez titled Bound in Blood was a hidden gem of a Western adventure on the PlayStation 3. Its smaller-scale reboot from 2013, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, managed to surpass it in quality. (It’s worth mentioning that the modern-day spin-off, The Cartel, is often overlooked, but even it wasn’t as poorly received as its reputation might suggest.)
According to a report published in June, Variety speculates that Amazon is seeking a young actor, under 30 years old, to take over the role from Daniel Craig as James Bond. Actors such as Jacob Elordi (from Euphoria) and Harris Dickinson (from Babygirl) have been mentioned as possibilities, while Tom Holland has gained significant attention as a favorite. However, despite his impressive track record with Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man films, it appears that a three-year-old movie featuring Tom Holland might disqualify him from playing James Bond effectively, since he failed to convey the magic and charm of adventurer Nathan Drake in the 2022 adaptation of the Uncharted video game franchise.

Despite waiting several years since the manga reached its final arc and moved to Jump GIGA, it wasn’t until recently that an anime sequel was announced.

The new anime, premiering soon, will continue the story from where its predecessor ended, following the manga’s narrative.
