The 2000s had some fantastic X-Men comics, but it wasn’t a flawless period for the series. Marvel made several questionable decisions with the X-Men during that decade. Here are seven of their biggest errors from the 2000s – mistakes they really should have avoided.
Based on William Brinkley’s novel, The Last Ship stars Eric Dane, Rhona Mitra, and Charles Parnell. The story unfolds on a ship heading to the Arctic with a scientist on board. When Dr. Rachel Scott (Mitra) is attacked, Captain Tom Chandler (Dane) discovers a virus has decimated over half the world’s population while his crew was away. Instead of following orders to return home, the Captain decides to develop a vaccine onboard, relying on the expertise of Dr. Shaw, who is hiding some secrets.
Here is a look at the 10 main Buffy the Vampire Slayer heroes in the TV series, ranked by power.
Looking back at the X-Men comics after the huge success of “Age of Apocalypse,” things got really messy. There was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama with writers – Scott Lobdell essentially forced Mark Waid out, then left himself for Fantastic Four. We saw a quick turnover with Joe Kelly and Steve Seagle, and finally, Alan Davis took over in 1998. Davis was given a specific mission: to wrap up the ’90s era of extreme X-Men storytelling and tie up loose ends. This led to “The Twelve,” a storyline that’s gotten a lot of hate over the years, and honestly, the entire Davis run is often criticized. But here’s my controversial take: I actually think it’s a surprisingly solid and entertaining story. It deserves a second look and way more respect than it gets.
I was so thrilled to see the restored footage from the second Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff Quidditch match! It always felt like a loss when Chris Columbus cut it from the original movie, especially because it really highlighted Harry’s growing suspicions about Snape. It’s fantastic that it’s been added back in. We get some wonderful moments – seeing Ron, Hermione, and Harry by the moving stairs at Hogwarts, Harry walking onto the Quidditch pitch, the team getting ready before the match, and even a glimpse of Harry chatting with Mr. Ollivander in his shop. It’s a real treat for fans!
A new World Boss called the Gilded Lament has been revealed. A recent trailer, combining real footage with gameplay, shows this ghostly character endlessly writing poetry. While the line “One last verse for no one” is mysterious, it’s clear that in battle, she attacks using scrolls filled with her writing.
Take-Two Interactive plans to release six updated versions of older games – including remakes, remasters, and ports to new platforms – between now and 2029. This is in addition to the three completely new game series and seven sequels they are currently developing.
Even a team-up of just the four Ninja Turtles would have been exciting, but both companies really went all out to create a crossover worthy of the characters’ legacies. The figures include Leonardo as Snake Eyes, Donatello as Dial-tone, Michelangelo as Shipwreck, Raphael as Roadblock, Shredder as Cobra Commander, Krang as Destro, Bebop as Ripper, Rocksteady as Buzzer, and Slash as Storm Shadow. Plus, there are two new vehicles – the AEW Shell-Striker (featuring April O’Neal) and the Turtle-Fly Copter (with Wild Bill Raphael) – and you can find details on where to buy them all below.
Originally released on HBO Max and now available on Netflix, Scavengers Reign follows the crew of the damaged spaceship Demeter 227, who crash-land on a strange planet. This planet actively defends itself, even if it means harming the crew. The series is full of surprises, as the planet’s plants, animals, and even people are distorted and unsettling. Survival depends on a brutal reality: you either kill or be killed, consume or be consumed.
