It’s tough to pick the single best quote from all of fantasy, considering the many memorable lines we’ve seen in popular works like Harry Potter (“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”), J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan (“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it”), or Star Wars (“Do, or do not. There is no try”). Still, one quote stands out as truly capturing what fantasy is all about:

The survival thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, quickly became the most popular movie on Netflix globally, just one day after its release. While reviews were mixed, viewers around the world tuned in, making it the No. 1 film in 86 countries, including the U.S., UK, and Canada.

Okay, so Marvel just dropped the cover art and details for Wolverine #23, and it’s wild! It looks like someone new is taking over as Wolverine, and get this – it’s Taskmaster! Seriously, Anthony Masters is wielding those claws now, and he looks way too good at it, if you ask me. I can’t wait to see what happens!

After watching his anime film Venus Wars recently, Yasuhiko reflected on his career and the current state of the anime industry. He shared some potentially surprising thoughts about his work on Gundam and how artificial intelligence might change anime in the future. Though he doesn’t seem to be planning a return to the Gundam series, he’s expected to contribute something new to the world of anime soon.

Released in 1995, Four Rooms centers around a somewhat shady hotel bellhop, played by Tim Roth, and his experiences with four very strange guests on New Year’s Eve. Each set of guests is involved in a unique and peculiar story.

Action shows have become increasingly popular, moving from traditional network television to cable and now streaming services. However, despite exciting chases and thrilling crime plots, many of these shows offer a quick burst of entertainment but don’t stay popular for very long. Only a few truly stand out and achieve lasting success, meaning many well-made shows are quickly overshadowed by newer releases. It’s important to recognize those action shows that deliver a truly exceptional story, going beyond just flashy visuals and action sequences.

Now that season four of Invincible has finished, viewers have mixed feelings about Omni-Man. At the start of the series, it was easy to despise him – his actions were horrific, and the way he treated Mark was deeply upsetting. But as the show has progressed, Invincible has started to show a more complex side to the character.

More adventures are on the way with a final season of Daryl Dixon and at least one more season of Dead City. While there’s talk of continuing The Ones Who Live and Tales of the Walking Dead, nothing has been confirmed yet, which means The Walking Dead universe could be ending sooner than fans hope. This is concerning because many storylines and character developments are still unfinished. With only two seasons currently planned, it’s impossible to tie up all loose ends – including the long-awaited reunion of Daryl and Rick and the mystery surrounding Designation 2.

The film was released in 2013, following the actor’s first roles in Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro (2009) and Twixt (2011), and a brief, uncredited appearance in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere (2010). While Beautiful Creatures featured a notable cast, it wasn’t successful with critics or at the box office. However, according to FlixPatrol, the film has found a new audience and is now performing well on Tubi, 13 years after its initial release.

Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia, has officially made the events of the movies part of the series’ main storyline through subtle references in the manga. He also created special episodes that both set up the movies and bridged gaps in the manga and anime timelines. While Horikoshi didn’t directly write the movies, he supervised their creation and ensured they fit with the overall story. As a result, the My Hero Academia movies are largely considered canon, though exactly where they fit within the main series timeline can be a little confusing.
