I’m really excited about the new X-Men team Marvel is building after everything that happens in Secret Wars! It feels like a fresh start for the mutants in the MCU. Of course, Wolverine has to be a big part of things, but while Hugh Jackman was amazing, it seems like they need a new version of the character for the long run. It’s cool to realize they’ve actually been hinting at this new Wolverine – a version from the Sacred Timeline – for years, even from the beginning of the MCU!

The ending of Resident Evil Requiem centers around a crucial decision: whether to release or destroy a chemical compound called Elpis. Throughout the story, Elpis is presented as a potential cure, but also hinted at being another dangerous weapon. Choosing to release it is considered the main ending, motivated by Grace’s desire to save Leon. However, players can also choose to destroy Elpis, which leads to a different, less favorable outcome.

Cassandra Cain, known as Batgirl, is widely considered the world’s most skilled martial artist and the best fighter in the entire Bat-Family. She essentially ‘reads’ opponents through their movements, anticipating their attacks before they happen. Already a formidable one-on-one combatant capable of defeating much larger opponents, she’s become even more dangerous with the recent development of superpowers, as revealed in Batgirl (2024) #17.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, Pedro Pascal discussed his character, Din Djarin, in the upcoming Star Wars film. He explained that Djarin is now working for the New Republic, which allows him to continue using his bounty hunting skills while staying true to his values. According to Pascal, this provides Djarin with the chance to ‘combine skill and morality.’ When we first meet Djarin, he’s motivated by skill and his Mandalorian Creed, but his relationship with Grogu has softened him, leading him to fight for what’s right and ‘disarming his armour,’ so to speak.

The show Deep Space Nine brought a darker element to Star Trek with the introduction of Section 31 – a secret, morally ambiguous organization. This idea stemmed from a line spoken by Commander Sisko, who noted how easy it is to be virtuous when everything is ideal. Executive Producer Ira Steven Behr created Section 31 to explore the compromises made to maintain that ideal, sparking years of debate among fans about whether it conflicted with Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a perfect future. While the storyline seemed to reach a natural conclusion, the new Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, has made the same mistake that initially undermined Section 31.
