As a huge cinema devotee, I’ve always thought Cyclops was the heart of the X-Men. He’s basically been their leader since day one, the one everyone looks to when things get tough. Honestly, if you had to pick a main character for the team, it’d be him, no question. It’s always baffled me that he’s often been underestimated by both fans and the people making the movies and comics. He’s gone through so many phases – the straight-laced hero, the rebel, the revolutionary – but now, with this fresh take on the X-Men, it feels like he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves. To me, he’s always been the most important X-Man, and it’s great to see others realizing that too.

Over the past ten years, Star Trek has seen a resurgence thanks to new shows on Paramount+ like Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. Most of the original cast of The Next Generation have reprised their roles in these recent series, particularly in Star Trek: Picard, which offered a final chapter for those iconic characters. Beyond Picard, many of these actors have made guest appearances in multiple new Star Trek shows, and we’ve put together a complete guide to all the TNG stars we’ve seen – or heard – in the last decade.

The romantic comedy anime Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian quickly gained a dedicated fanbase and was set to return with a new season this year. However, a recent announcement on the series’ official channels revealed that Season 2 will now be delayed until 2027. This delay is to allow more time to ensure the season meets a high standard of quality.

Bellring Games’ action RPG, Mistfall Hunter, which features third-person gameplay, player-versus-environment combat, and extraction elements, is confirmed to be launching on the PS5 this July. While the exact release date within July hasn’t been announced, the launch window is set for July 2026. Currently, there are no plans for a version of the game on Nintendo Switch or the Switch 2.

Frieren is traveling to Aurelo, a land of rest for souls, hoping to meet Himmel. Her two closest companions, Fern and Stark, have joined her on this journey. The series has gained a dedicated fanbase, and many viewers particularly enjoy the dynamic between Fern and Stark. Recently, in an interview with The TV, the voice actress for Fern, Kana Ichinose, spoke about a challenging shift in the relationship between the two characters in the latest season.

Rosa Salazar plays Alita in the film, and Christoph Waltz plays Dyson Ido, the doctor who raises her. Director Robert Rodriguez brought his unique, hands-on approach to the movie, resulting in stunning visual effects. It’s considered one of the most visually impressive sci-fi action films of its time, and the story, co-written by James Cameron, was compelling enough to leave audiences wanting more. The ending even teased a potential sequel, introducing Edward Norton as the main villain for future installments.

I just heard that Ufotable is bringing Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle back to theaters next week, on February 20th! This time it’s being called the “Breathing Enhanced Version,” and it sounds like they’re really upgrading the experience with things like moving chairs and special environmental effects. Apparently, this new release will really focus on the characters’ breathing techniques – you’ll get a great look at how Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Giyo, and Shinobu use their powers while battling Muzan’s forces. It’s a shame to say that, as of right now, it doesn’t seem like it will be shown in North America, but with how popular Demon Slayer is, there’s still a possibility it could come here!

It’s easy to forget about Killer Inn, the murder mystery game that surprised everyone at the 2025 Summer Game Fest. It left fans a little confused at the time, and we haven’t heard much about it since. While Square Enix announced it would be entering Early Access on YouTube a few weeks ago, the news didn’t really gain much traction. Now, on February 12th, Killer Inn is available in Early Access on Steam, and players still seem just as puzzled by it as they were when it was first shown last year.

Nacelle Toys announced the third wave of its Biker Mice From Mars toy collection will kick off with the villain Lectromag, originally voiced by Mark Hamill in the 1993 series. As shown in the photos, Lectromag is back with his signature grey, red, and purple outfit, and comes with several cool accessories – plus his canine companion – to make any Biker Mice fight even more exciting.
