While it’s becoming less common for character deaths to truly resonate, a well-executed death can still have a huge impact on a story. Deaths that are deeply emotional, shocking, or violent tend to stay with readers. Today, we’re focusing on one such death: the murder of Ted Kord, DC’s Blue Beetle, which occurred 21 years ago in Countdown to Infinite Crisis #1. Even though Ted Kord has since been resurrected, his death remains a particularly shocking moment in comic book history, largely due to the unexpected betrayal that led to it.

The ending of the show jumps ahead two years, leaving some plot points unanswered – and a potential third season would need to address them. While it’s not confirmed if My Hero Academia: Vigilantes will get a Season 3, or when it might air, the source material (the manga) still has more story to tell. Here’s a rundown of everything we know about the chances of another season.

Here are five great run-and-gun NES games that still hold up today.

Warner Bros. recently released the first trailer for The End of Oak Street, the latest film by David Robert Mitchell, who directed It Follows. The trailer quickly grabbed viewers’ attention with its intriguing story: a family discovers their entire street has mysteriously moved, and they must band together to find out why. Many have noted the film’s tone feels like a throwback to classic, family-adventure movies produced by Spielberg in the 1980s.

The main challenge is that many of these areas require specific abilities to get through. Guides suggest you’ll need Stab to navigate several waterfalls, Force Palm or Force Punch to break down a wall in one location, and Blinding Flash to open a blocked path in another.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mark the beginning of a new era for the Pokémon series. The games immediately introduce you to two powerful legendary Pokémon. But after dedicating years to repeatedly starting previous games for rare, colorful starter Pokémon, is it worth putting in the same effort to find shiny versions of these new legendary creatures?

The Terminator franchise continued to thrive beyond the movies by expanding into other areas like TV, comics, video games, and novels. The Fox television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, starring Lena Headey, received mostly good reviews over its two seasons. Several publishers also created comic books that both adapted the films and added to the story, while video games were released alongside each movie. Original novels helped bridge the gaps between films. Throughout all these different formats, the franchise consistently stood out for its creative and unique Terminator designs.

Sometimes, ideas that sound great initially have hidden difficulties that could cause real trouble. A recent example is Sony’s new patent for technology designed to improve online matchmaking in cross-platform games. While intended to create fairer matches, the way this technology works could actually create problems for players if it’s implemented.

The game performed well on PlayStation, but it didn’t seem to sell as many copies as Forza Horizon 5.
