Let’s recap where we left off with recent Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. While Benedict Cumberbatch hasn’t been officially confirmed for the upcoming Doomsday film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness introduced the idea of incursions, which will probably play a role. It’s possible Multiverse of Madness could connect to Doomsday or even Avengers: Secret Wars, but we can’t be sure until Cumberbatch’s involvement is confirmed. Paul Rudd is returning for Doomsday, but his last movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, ended by focusing on Kang, not Doctor Doom, so that storyline doesn’t directly lead into it. As for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it remains to be seen if it will connect to Doomsday, but it would be a great chance to have Tom Holland’s Spider-Man confront the memory of his mentor.

Here’s a look at the first ten villains the Avengers faced in their first two years, ranked by how powerful they were.

Nintendo is best known for two incredibly popular game series: Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. These franchises have been central to Nintendo’s success since the beginning, and the company consistently finds new ways to refresh and improve them with each new game. Because of this dedication to innovation, both Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda remain critically acclaimed and beloved by players.

Leading up to the event, a fan poll was held to determine the most popular character in the entire Dragon Ball franchise. The poll pitted every character against each other, and unsurprisingly, Goku came out on top. It’s hard to imagine Dragon Ball without Goku, so his victory isn’t much of a shock.

Unlike later FromSoftware games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring, Bloodborne was originally released only for PlayStation consoles. PC gamers still can’t officially play it, making it the hardest game in FromSoftware’s collection to get your hands on. This is unfortunate because Bloodborne has a distinctive world and is a fantastic game, but its exclusivity creates additional, less obvious issues.

During an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Chris Pratt talked about potentially returning to the Jurassic World series as Owen Grady. He said he’d be very open to it, calling it “awesome.” Pratt expressed his fondness for the character, the people he works with, and Universal Pictures, and even suggested a reunion with Scarlett Johansson would be fantastic. He added that any return would need to build on the stories from the previous three films in a respectful way.

The success of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has broken new ground for the Game of Thrones universe, opening up exciting possibilities for future stories. Ironically, this breakthrough was sparked by a particularly shocking scene.

Until February 5th, the PlayStation Store is offering a discount on Immortals of Aveum, a 2023 first-person shooter from Electronic Arts and Ascendant Studios. This game was Ascendant Studios’ first release, and unfortunately, it didn’t sell well. The studio had to lay off half of its staff as a result, though the game did gain a dedicated following when it launched.

Mortal Kombat X offers players a unique way to play as different fighters. Each character has three variations, which change their available moves and effectively create three distinct fighting styles to learn. However, one character goes even further, secretly containing almost a completely separate fighter within their moveset.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced many powerful heroes, but their strength varies considerably. A clear power ranking exists, and a few heroes stand out as significantly more powerful than others. These characters possess abilities that make them incredibly strong on their own, sometimes to the point of seeming overpowered, even within the already fantastical world of the MCU.
