26 Years Ago Today, Yu-Gi-Oh Saved Its Anime With a Major Reboot That Changed It Forever

The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise began in Japan in 1998 with an animated series by Toei Animation. However, this initial series didn’t follow the story of the original manga very closely, introducing different characters and emphasizing the dangerous duel aspects of the manga’s early chapters. It wasn’t particularly successful. The franchise was rebooted in 2000 with Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which more closely followed the manga and became the widely popular version fans know today.

7 DC Villains Too Powerful to Appear in The DCU

Because the new DC Universe is aiming for a less powerful scale overall, some existing villains are simply too strong to fit in. While they could be weakened, that would diminish what made them formidable in the first place. These seven DC villains possess abilities and skills that would overwhelm the DCU’s heroes, making their inclusion impractical.

You’re About to Miss Your Chance to Stream One of The Weirdest Superhero Movies for Free

Since its release in 1986, Howard the Duck has become well-known as one of Marvel’s biggest live-action missteps. Directed by Willard Huyck, the film was a significant failure, both financially and critically. It earned only $37.9 million at the box office despite a production budget of $30-37 million, and it currently holds a dismal 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie centers around Howard, an anthropomorphic duck from another world, who becomes an unlikely superhero and falls for the woman he rescues. You can currently watch it for free on Tubi, but it will be removed from the platform at the end of April.

Marvel All But Confirms 1 Doctor Doom Theory for Doomsday (& May Have Debunked Another)

The first look at Doctor Doom during CinemaCon showed him as a truly massive threat. One scene depicted him effortlessly stopping Thor’s Stormbreaker with just two fingers, proving he’s far more powerful than even the God of Thunder. However, everything points to Doom not being the biggest problem in the movie. Like the comics, he actually believes he’s a hero trying to rescue what’s left of the multiverse.

Three Decades Later, This Is Still One of My All-Time Arcade Games

Nearly ten years after the original game came out, one of the greatest games in the genre appeared in arcades worldwide. Released on April 19, 1996, SNK’s Metal Slug quickly gained popularity due to its precise controls, difficult levels, and appealing graphics. Even thirty years later, Metal Slug stands out as a prime example of how arcade games could perfect a genre, and it remains one of my personal favorites.

DC Gives Fans the DCEU/DCU Crossover They Never Saw Coming

I’m excited about the direction of the new DC Universe, but it was hard to see elements of the previous DC Extended Universe disappear, particularly losing talented actors like Jason Momoa. He truly made Aquaman a popular and compelling character. Fortunately, the DCU is keeping Momoa on board by recasting him as Lobo! While we won’t see him as both Aquaman and Lobo at the same time, this is the next best thing, and it’s great that the comics allow for such transitions.
