Four Years Ago Today, An Epic 3-Season Fantasy Masterpiece Came to an End (& It Still Hasn’t Been Matched)

If you’re not super familiar with romantasy, it’s a fun blend of fantasy and romance – think magical worlds with a big focus on the love story. Usually, it follows a woman, often someone relatable, who gets thrown into this incredible, mystical adventure, and let’s just say things get pretty heated! And honestly, as a huge fan, I still think A Discovery of Witches is the gold standard – nothing really tops it for me.

God of War’s Controversial New Game Has Me Worried for God of War 6

Interest in the God of War series recently hit a high point with the surprise release of God of War: Sons of Sparta during a PlayStation presentation. This followed the announcement of a God of War Trilogy remake, but Sons of Sparta quickly gained attention for its unique visual style and gameplay, which was inspired by the Metroidvania genre. While many fans were thrilled to finally see the long-awaited game, a vocal group strongly criticized it both when it was revealed and after playing. This strong reaction has led me to consider what it means for the future of the series, especially with excitement growing for the next installment, God of War 6.

Bleach Creator Teases Major Surprise for Anime’s Final Season

The fourth part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity will continue to benefit from the involvement of creator Tite Kubo, who is helping with the anime’s production, just as he did with the previous three parts. Kubo recently shared a message with fans through his Klub Outside group, hinting at his work on an upcoming episode in this final season. He also revealed that a completely new character, not featured in the original manga finale, will be making their debut.

New Marvel Game Is Reinventing an X-Men Villain

The game is making a significant change to one of the X-Men, suggesting it’s willing to alter established storylines. While popular heroes like Wolverine and Storm will be playable, the inclusion of Danger as an ally is unexpected. Here’s a look at Danger’s original comic book portrayal and why her heroic version in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is so surprising.

LaserDisc Games Changed the Industry and Then Disappeared

LaserDisc games weren’t just innovative – they completely changed what was possible in gaming. This technology led to incredible titles like Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace, and Mad Dog McCree. These games were essentially interactive movies; players made choices at certain moments – usually by reacting to a highlighted object on screen – which would instantly trigger a corresponding video clip. The responsiveness was remarkable, and it seemed like LaserDisc games would become the future of arcades. However, despite their initial promise and groundbreaking features, the format ultimately faded away.

30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Fixes A Controversial Deep Space Nine Injustice

The newest episode of Starfleet Academy was surprisingly sensual, starting with a very intimate scene featuring tastefully done nudity. While not as explicit as some romantic fantasy stories, the connection between Caleb Mir and Tarima Sadal had many of the same elements: magical abilities, a sense of being different, intense attraction, and a forbidden romance—she’s a student at the War College, and he’s a rebellious Starfleet cadet. If any Star Trek series was going to depict normal, healthy sexuality, it would be Starfleet Academy. And the episode also included a long-awaited scene that was famously cut from earlier Star Trek footage.

The Smiling Friends’ Creators Have Bad News For Fans

I was listening to a recent interview with the creators of Smiling Friends, and they’re already thinking about how to end the show! It sounds like they’re aiming for five seasons total, which means we only have two more seasons with Charlie and Pim after this one. They said they’ll assess how they’re feeling after seasons four and five, then really map out the future, but they’re pretty firm on not letting it drag on like some other animated series. Even if they have tons of ideas, they don’t want it to go on forever. They won’t commit to a specific number, but they’re hinting that season five is likely where they’ll want to wrap things up. It’s a little bittersweet, but honestly, I respect them wanting to end it on a high note!

35 Years Later, Marvel Just Fixed the Biggest Wolverine Plot Hole Of All Time

This classic story originally appeared in Marvel Comics Presents #72-84 back in 1991. It’s a compelling narrative, which is why fans have generally accepted a minor inconsistency in Wolverine’s origins. Powerful healing abilities are rare, even among mutants, and Logan’s is exceptionally strong – boosted after a close encounter with death during World War I. His healing factor allowed him to withstand the process of having adamantium bonded to his skeleton, and it also prevents the adamantium from poisoning him. This raises a question: how did the Weapon X program manage to find the one mutant capable of surviving their brutal experiments?
