Spoiler Warning: If you haven’t watched the first two episodes of One Piece Season 2 yet, be aware that this article contains spoilers! Recently, the cast of the Netflix live-action One Piece series spoke with Collider about the early appearances of Brook and Sabo, two characters not originally planned to arrive so soon. Emily Rudd (Nami) and Jacob Romero (Usopp) discussed Brook, the skeletal musician who will eventually join the Straw Hat crew aboard the Thousand Sunny. Rudd praised Brook’s introduction in episode two, saying, “He’s so good!” Romero also complimented actor Martial Batchamen, who plays Brook, calling him “a wonderful person with a big heart and genuine personality.”

The story Marvel Universe: The End came about after two earlier comics: Infinity Abyss, which brought back Thanos and Adam Warlock, and Hulk: The End. Because Hulk: The End was particularly successful (though Infinity Abyss did well too, it wouldn’t have sold as much later on), Marvel decided to create more “The End” stories. Some of these were excellent (Fantastic Four: The End and Punisher: The End), while others weren’t worth reading (except maybe the X-Men version, which was uniquely over-the-top). However, Marvel Universe: The End stood apart. It was a true Jim Starlin story, building on the complicated history he’d created around Thanos. It’s a largely forgotten gem, and it genuinely felt like a definitive ending for the entire Marvel Universe.

Released in 2023, the sci-fi film The Creator was directed by Gareth Edwards, who previously helmed the successful films Godzilla and Rogue One. While critics and audiences generally liked The Creator, it didn’t perform as well financially, earning $104.3 million worldwide on an $80 million budget. Now, three years later, the film is becoming available on Netflix, potentially reaching a wider audience and gaining renewed attention.

First up is Cozy Grove, a charming exploration game from Spry Fox released in 2021. While it’s not super famous, it’s highly rated – 90% of over 3,700 Steam users recommend it. The other free game this week is Isonzo from BlackMill Games, a realistic World War 1 shooter that’s a bit more popular. It has almost double the number of user reviews – over 7,600 – and an 86% positive rating.

The new Mega Evolution set brings back Mega Evolution ex cards to the Pokemon TCG. A key feature of this latest collection is the debut of cards for new Mega Evolutions first seen in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Each expansion so far has included only a small number of these new Megas, and a popular choice is coming with Mega Evolution – Chaos Rising. This new expansion was just announced and will be available on May 22nd.

A new trademark for the classic game Quake has been filed by Bethesda, as noticed by Timur222 on X. Originally created by id Software in 1996, Quake became a hugely influential game, spawning popular sequels like Quake 2 and Quake 3 Arena. The franchise has been relatively quiet for the last two decades, with Quake Champions in 2017 being its most recent release.

Trash Goblin was initially released on Steam for PC in Early Access on November 6, 2024, and officially launched on May 28, 2025. It will also be available on the Microsoft Store and on consoles when those versions release.

If you try to view stories with that tag, you’ll get an error message saying the page can’t be found.

Okay, so as a huge Firefly fan, you probably already know Nathan Fillion has been doing this amazing thing – personally delivering the news to the original cast that something’s happening! He’s been knocking on their doors one by one, telling them variations of “it’s time.” I’ve been following it all! He’d already gotten to Gina Torres (Zoë), Morena Baccarin (Inara), Sean Maher (Simon), Summer Glau (River), Jewel Staite (Kaylee), and Adam Baldwin (Jayne). The only one left was Alan Tudyk (Wash), and sadly, Ron Glass, who played Book, passed away back in 2016. But the latest Instagram post from Fillion? Confirmed – Alan Tudyk is in! It’s so cool to see them all potentially getting back together.

Man, extraction shooters in 2026 are on another level! They’re seriously intense – few games get my heart racing like these do. Every choice feels huge because if you mess up, you lose everything you’ve worked for. It’s awesome. Developers finally figured out people love that high-stakes feeling, and now even people who used to skip these games are getting hooked. These are just the best extraction shooters you can find right now, honestly.
