The sci-fi series Extant, starring Halle Berry, will be removed from Netflix on February 18th. Originally airing on CBS between 2014 and 2015, the show followed an astronaut’s return from a year-long solo space mission. Alongside Berry, the cast included Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Michael O’Neill, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (in Season 2). Though critically and popularly well-received, CBS cancelled Extant after two seasons due to falling ratings, expensive production costs, and changes in the storyline. The series was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Kenjaku started planning the Culling Game over a thousand years ago, and we now know even Sukuna is involved. His ultimate goal is to evolve cursed existence by combining Tengen with every person in Japan. To do this, he needs a massive amount of cursed energy, and the Culling Game – which pits current and former sorcerers against each other – is designed to generate it. While the season has been hinting at this event, the latest episode has officially launched the game, and it’s already clear this arc will be more complex and impactful than anything we’ve seen before.

Doctor Manhattan is incredibly powerful, but he’s not invincible. Characters from both Marvel and DC comics could potentially defeat him. We frequently see even gods lose battles, so it’s plausible some of these heroes could win using their abilities and smarts. Here are seven Marvel and DC characters who might be able to overcome Doctor Manhattan, something many believe is impossible.

Next week brings a lot of new games for both PS5 and PS4, with highly anticipated titles like Avowed leading the charge. Plus, the newest PS Plus games are launching, including the popular Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Okay, so in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, there’s this really intriguing dream Daeron Targaryen has about Ser Duncan – he sees a huge dragon crashing down, but instead of killing Dunk, the dragon dies! The show hasn’t explained what it all means yet, but it’s a perfect example of what the Game of Thrones spinoffs are doing so well. They’re really leaning into these prophetic dreams and visions, something the original series kind of skimmed over when adapting George R.R. Martin’s books. It feels like they’re finally giving those elements the weight they deserve.

This week, 2K Games announced that two of its sports games, WWE 2K Battlegrounds and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, will no longer be available for purchase digitally at the end of the month. WWE 2K Battlegrounds, released in 2020, was a fast-paced, arcade-style wrestling game with a wide range of WWE characters. NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 offered a similar arcade experience, letting players use current NBA stars and legendary players. Although neither game was a huge hit with players, 2K has decided to remove them from online stores on Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation, and PC starting February 26th.

The former head of Santa Monica Studio launched a nearly 10-minute criticism of the game, calling it disrespectful to both its fans and the developers who created it.

Goku and Vegeta have consistently demonstrated the incredible power of the Saiyan race. Starting with the original Super Saiyan transformation, their abilities have evolved through multiple new levels, and later, the ‘God’ forms were introduced. While the Super Saiyan God transformations are considered the strongest and official versions, the Super Saiyan 4 transformation has always been a point of debate among fans. Surprisingly, the newest Dragon Ball series, Daima, has made Super Saiyan 4 official and even enhanced its design, much to the delight of viewers.

The latest installment of Doom launched in 2016, successfully rebooting the iconic series for modern gaming consoles. Both longtime fans and newcomers enjoyed the fast-paced action, making it a major success. The game had been in development for a long time – originally announced as Doom 4 in 2008. After several iterations and a restart of development, it was revealed in 2014 that the game would simply be titled Doom. It finally released on May 13, 2016, almost eight years and six days after its initial announcement.
