Even though comic book characters often return to their original state and new writers might drastically change established storylines, character development still matters. Seeing characters grow and improve mirrors our own lives, and their journeys can deeply affect readers. Today, we’ll be highlighting five of the best character arcs Marvel has delivered over the last decade. Let’s take a look at how these characters have changed.
The episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” which aired on February 19, 1990, brought back the character of Lieutenant Tasha Yar from a different timeline. Actress Denise Crosby had left the show rather suddenly at the end of the first season. This episode gave her character a meaningful exit, allowing her to choose how she died, and it opened the door for Crosby to return in future episodes, even playing Tasha’s daughter. The return of Tasha Yar in “Yesterday’s Enterprise” had a significant impact on the rest of the series and the crew of the Enterprise-D.
With the recent release of Crimson Desert, a highly anticipated game, and the varying opinions it’s received, I started thinking about what makes open-world games truly great. What sets a game like Skyrim apart, and why did Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fall short? In my opinion, there are five key elements that all successful open-world games need to get right.
When it was first released, the movie sharply divided opinions, with many viewers finding it too slow-paced and lacking in scares – a result of perhaps unrealistic expectations. Now, ten years later, the film is finally receiving the acclaim it merits, though even with time, some flaws are noticeable.

The reason we haven’t seen a Dandadan video game yet is likely because the series is still relatively new. The characters – Momo, Okarun, their friends, and enemies – would all translate well to a game, perhaps as a fighting game or an action RPG that explores the supernatural world they inhabit. Dandadan first appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2021, and the anime, which premiered in 2024, has significantly boosted its popularity. Although nothing is official, a Dandadan video game seems very likely in the future.
