Wolverine is known as one of Marvel’s most popular characters, but his impact on the Marvel Universe often goes unnoticed. He was among the first major anti-heroes, debuting regularly in Uncanny X-Men after issue #94 of X-Men (Vol. 1) in 1975. Fans quickly embraced the mysterious, tough, and ultimately good-hearted character, making him a star within the X-Men team and inspiring many similar characters. While his willingness to kill enemies was initially controversial, it’s now a common trait among superheroes. Wolverine’s popularity fundamentally changed the landscape of superhero comics, and he’s remained a central figure in top-selling titles since the 1970s. It all began with The Incredible Hulk #181, a collaboration between Len Wein, Herb Trimpe, Jack Abel, Glynis Wein, and Artie Simek.

Netflix is developing a series based on the comic book Barbaric, as reported by Deadline. Sheldon Turner, known for his work on films like Up in the Air and X-Men: First Class, will create, executive produce, and run the show. Details about the cast, when production will begin, or when the series might be released haven’t been announced yet.

Both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are complete adventures on their own, much like Pokémon Red and Blue. Oracle of Ages uses time travel to create a rich and detailed world, building on the ideas first explored in Ocarina of Time on the N64. But what makes these games truly special is a hidden feature unlocked only after completing both – a surprisingly ambitious design choice that sets them apart in the Legend of Zelda series.

Despite being a recent hit on Netflix, Army of the Dead was a long time coming – the project started at Warner Bros. back in 2007 and faced fourteen years of development challenges. For over a decade, the movie went through numerous script revisions and director changes before Netflix picked it up in 2019. This gave director Zack Snyder the chance to build on the original script and create a larger, connected universe – the “Armyverse.” While the prequel Army of Thieves, starring Ludwig Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer), added to the story in 2021, the most interesting parts of this universe haven’t been fully explored yet.

Stories don’t always improve characters; sometimes they actually make them worse. This can be intentional, but occasionally it’s a misstep by the creators, resulting in stories that leave everyone in a worse state than when they began. Here are seven Marvel stories that negatively impacted their main characters, significantly harming some of the most popular heroes.

A new documentary called The Origin of Ultraman will hit theaters in Japan on July 3rd. To promote the film, which celebrates the 60th anniversary of the iconic character, a trailer has been released showcasing a variety of celebrities and filmmakers involved in the project. Since its debut in 1966, Ultraman has appeared in many forms, including movies, TV shows, comics, and video games. While it’s currently unknown if the documentary will be released in North America, it’s likely to become available in the U.S. somehow. You can watch the trailer below.

Recently released games like Final Fantasy 16 (2023), which came seven years after Final Fantasy 15, haven’t been followed up with any news about the next installment, Final Fantasy 17. The same is true for Dragon Quest: while we’ve seen remakes of older titles like Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake and Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, a release date for Dragon Quest 12: The Flame of Fate is still unknown, even though Dragon Quest 11 was released back in 2017.

Okay, so Motorslice definitely wears its heart on its sleeve – you can totally see what inspired it, and sometimes that leads to a few familiar frustrations, plus a couple of technical hiccups. But when it’s firing on all cylinders, wow! It’s seriously captivating. It reminds me of some of my all-time favorite platformers, but it’s not just a copy – it adds enough of its own unique flavor to really stand out and be something special.

When you compare the Spider-Man movies to the original comic books, there are five scenes that are remarkably similar.
