The worldwide sensation of Squid Game Season 2 left viewers captivated by Thanos’ character, even though he didn’t survive the season. This led to speculation that he wouldn’t reappear in Season 3 due to his popularity. However, creators of Squid Game managed to bring Thanos back for more action in Season 3 without violating the realistic premise of its universe. Fans will ultimately decide if this return was successful or not, but beware: Major spoilers for Squid Game Season 3 are coming up!

Despite being a constant thorn in the side of the Demon Slayer Corps, Muzan reciprocates this sentiment. He has already claimed three of the Upper Six demons and feels it’s time for the ultimate confrontation with the Corps. Following the destruction of his mansion by Kagaya and the unfortunate loss of his wife and two daughters, Muzan grants the Demon Slayers a brief opportunity to attack him. Thanks to the joint efforts of Shinobu and Tamayo, Muzan has been significantly weakened, but it’s far from enough to defeat him. To make matters worse, the Demon Slayers are drawn into the Infinity Castle, Muzan’s hidden fortress where the Upper Rank demons lie in wait for their adversaries. Tanjiro is among those trapped within the castle, and the trailer reveals that he will face off against none other than Akaza.

The updates about “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” indicate that we might need to be patient, as the 2027 release date appears to be increasingly certain. As the final installment of the trilogy, it could be our last opportunity to witness new versions of Spider-Man in cinemas. With a few years still ahead, we’ll keep our fingers crossed for these Spider-Man characters to grace the screen.

From my perspective as an onlooker, it appears that, as of now, there’s no official name announced for the upcoming My Hero Academia game. However, a trademark for the title “All’s Justice” was registered back in March, which initially hinted at a new game in development based on the series. In fact, earlier this June, we caught a glimpse of a leaked logo and concept art for the game. Now, it seems that we might finally get a complete unveiling during the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase, where a trailer for the event can be found below.

The television adaptation based on Kosuke Unagi’s “I Abandoned My Elite Party to Assist My Former Pupils in Reaching the Dungeon Depths!” light novel series commenced this year, and spanned two seasons, concluding this Spring with its final episode. Now that the last episode has aired, it’s been confirmed that there will be a second season. To mark this exciting news, character designer Masakazu Yamazaki has unveiled a unique new illustration which you can view below.

Released back in 1997, the movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer” built upon the momentum of “Scream”, giving it a darker, more introspective feel with undertones of guilt and angst. Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe, this film swiftly became a significant cultural reference point and laid the foundation for the look and feel of teen horror for many years. Coincidentally, it’s leaving Netflix at an unusual time, as a reboot of the series is scheduled to premiere soon. For both long-time fans and those who are curious, I strongly recommend watching this classic before it vanishes in just two days.

In Chapter 1153 of “One Piece”, we delve into Loki’s past, uncovering that Harald was compelled to wed Loki’s mother, Estrid, due to the Giants demanding a union with someone of untainted Ancient Giant lineage. This revelation is followed by the disclosure that Loki, at birth, bore serpentine eyes, causing Estrid immense fear. In response, she cast Loki into the Underworld, labeling him as cursed and monstrous. As Estrid prepares to revisit her Elbaf village, a poignant scene unfolds of Loki weeping while attempting to climb Jewel Tree Adam, creating an evocative tableau of the tormented character Loki has been portrayed as thus far.

In the next version of M3GAN, titled M3GAN 2.0, we delve deeper into the implications of young people becoming overly reliant on AI, as well as the dangers that can arise when AI technology is misused, often due to the human flaws in its design and creation. This theme is vividly portrayed through the introduction of a new character, AMELIA, an android assassin played by Ivanna Sakhno, who was developed by a defense contractor. These thought-provoking issues could be further examined in subsequent sequels.

In essence, Jean Grey stands as the emotional core of the X-Men, serving as a supportive confidante for her teammates during tough times. Her compassionate nature is unparalleled, making her an essential pillar for those she cherishes. Notably, her bond with Cyclops, one of Marvel’s most iconic relationships, has become a recurring plot device, often leading to their separation followed by reunion, creating a pattern that has caused much debate among fans. This sees Jean temporarily vanishing, leaving Cyclops to move on with others like Madelyne Pryor and Emma Frost, only for her return to dismantle these relationships instantly as Cyclops rushes back to her. This cycle has resulted in questionable choices and deviations from the characters’ original personalities, such as the dissolution of Scott and Madelyne’s marriage and the unresolved issues between Scott and Emma.

In Death Stranding 2, you’ll find it beneficial to carry ladders and ropes for accessing otherwise inaccessible locations, but remember they increase your load, potentially slowing down your progress and making tasks more challenging. The sequel significantly enhances upon the original game, providing a smoother and more palatable experience that aligns more closely with Hideo Kojima’s vision. This refinement has led to improved reviews compared to the first game, even from players who were initially skeptical of it.
