In my perspective, although I don’t possess any superpowers like those in comics, Jimmy demonstrates every day that he’s a hero in his own way. It doesn’t hurt that the brilliant Skyler Gisondo portrays him, who has made a name for himself in shows such as The Righteous Gemstones and Santa Clarita Diet. Interestingly enough, delving into Gisondo’s filmography uncovers that he wasn’t new to the comic book movie scene; he had previously appeared in a few underappreciated Marvel films.

As a die-hard sci-fi enthusiast, I’ve always found myself appreciating standalone films that tell compelling stories without the need for continuations or sequels. Here are seven extraordinary sci-fi movies that, in my humble opinion, could have thrived as one-of-a-kind masterpieces instead of becoming part of a franchise. These films, from beloved cult classics to blockbuster hits, each wrap up their stories beautifully, leaving no loose ends or unanswered questions. While I’m not saying that every sequel derived from these films was subpar – there are certainly exceptions where the immediate follow-up surpassed its predecessor – it’s hard to deny that each of these movies could have made a powerful impact as a solo act, standing tall on their own merits. So, without further ado, let me share my list of seven fantastic sci-fi films that, in my opinion, should have gracefully bowed out when the credits rolled for the first time.

Discussing the extraordinary popularity of Marvel and DC films today, Matthew Senreich expressed his continued amazement, reflecting on his own early career with Marvel. As an intern at Marvel, he humorously recalled being bullied for his role there, saying “It’s still hard to wrap my head around it (Marvel’s global success.) My first job was as an intern at Marvel, and I got picked on for it!” Green added his perspective on the current dominance of comic books, suggesting that instead of criticizing their popularity, we should appreciate the shared passion they inspire. He likened this to attending a Green Day concert at Berkeley, saying “You can’t stand there with your arms folded, grumbling ‘they sold out.’ You should be happy that so many people are experiencing the same level of enthusiasm for others.” If someone is unfamiliar with Star Wars, he attempts to share his own passion and offer entry points for them to explore. He doesn’t want to act as a gatekeeper.

To get us started, here’s the complete trailer. We assume it’s what brought you to this page, correct?

In “Killing Floor 3,” the action unfolds many years after its previous version, where a massive company named Horzine is producing and dominating the Zed (undead) creatures. Players can choose from six Nightfall Specialists, who embark on various missions to combat the undead menace. Additionally, there are other tasks to accomplish, such as gathering samples. Tripwire has hinted that they will expand the storyline following the game’s release.

Bethel shared a hint with caution: we’ve recently finished filming just a few days ago. I’m immensely proud of the work we accomplished for this upcoming season. It’s going to leave people absolutely astounded. I can’t reveal much without giving away spoilers, but fans of Bullseye and Dex will be thrilled by some truly unique and mind-blowing actions that I get to perform. I believe some of my best work on Daredevil, and possibly any show, will be featured in this new season.

In an interview with ComicBookMovie, Schreier mentioned, “We were certainly conscious of this element. However, our film is quite confined, set over just a few days, which gives the threat [from The Void] and the problem an urgency. That’s why we crafted a narrative where these specific adversaries, the Thunderbolts, are ideally suited for the situation because it revolves around shared objectives or empathy for the character’s predicament.

Warning: Spoilers for James Gunn’s Superman beyond this point!
