The Mummy has been a popular movie monster for nearly a hundred years, appearing in scary horror films, funny comedies, and even big action movies with stars like Tom Cruise. Unfortunately, Cruise’s recent attempt to relaunch the character and create a larger movie universe wasn’t successful at the box office.
Even Master Jinshi, a supporting character in the series, doesn’t think highly of Lakan, finding him both irritating and threatening whenever he visits. However, viewers have also seen Lakan attempt to be a good father to Maomao, though his efforts are always unsuccessful. Considering everything anime-only viewers learn about Lakan in the first two seasons, it’s reasonable to question whether he truly deserves the negative reputation he has.

Mel Brooks was Hollywood’s leading comedic satirist from the 1970s to the 1990s, but that type of humor has become rare in recent decades. While self-aware comedies still exist, few have reached the same level of acclaim as Brooks’ iconic films like Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. With adult comedies largely gone from theaters—replaced by big-budget sequels—genuine satire and parody have become increasingly scarce. That’s why the release of Spaceballs: The New One feels particularly well-timed.
Some players deliberately skip challenging parts of games if they take too long, are too complex, or don’t feel worth the effort. For example, one player struggled with a particularly hard puzzle in The Wind Waker for 16 years, but eventually managed to solve it, much to their own surprise.
Originally airing on September 30, 1960, “King Nine” is one of the earlier episodes of the show, so it runs for just half an hour. It was the 37th episode produced and, like all episodes of the series, it begins and ends with narration by the show’s creator, Rod Serling.
Similar to Adam McKay’s film Don’t Look Up, Chuck McCarthys adaptation of Losing Earth will use humor to examine worries about the environment, the ways society often misses important issues, and the odd reactions people have when facing big problems. While Losing Earth is set in the 1970s and 80s, and Don’t Look Up in the 2020s, both stories show how people knowingly avoid solving serious, potentially world-ending issues.
