Spider-Man is a hero defined by tragedy, having suffered devastating losses like the deaths of Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy. Despite this, he relentlessly pursues justice. His impact goes beyond just Peter Parker, inspiring many others to become Spider-People, including Miles Morales, Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider), and even his daughter Mayday in some versions of the story. Now, let’s explore some of Spider-Man’s lesser-known abilities.
Over nearly sixty years of Star Trek, the most memorable villain ships all had the ability to genuinely challenge the heroes and scare the captains – from Kirk and Janeway to Burnham. We’ve considered everything – from how the ships look and their impact on the story, to their overall power – to rank the ten best ships that ever gave the Federation a run for their money.
As a huge One Piece fan, I’m getting really excited! The official One Piece store just dropped two new illustrations from the upcoming remake anime – and it looks like we might finally get some proper news at Jump Festa 2026 later this month! It’s not a full announcement yet, but it’s the first thing we’ve seen since they showed us some early concept art last year. Honestly, any update on the remake would be amazing at this point – I’m so ready to see what they’re planning!
Beyond the main heroes, this wave of figures includes some really interesting deep cuts. We’ve got Faramir, Eomer’s brother, and a surprisingly detailed Guritz – the Orc captain who, interestingly, was created specifically for Peter Jackson’s films and doesn’t appear in Tolkien’s original books. And of course, Pippin is here, looking battle-ready! If you’re a Lord of the Rings collector like me, you’ll want to check these out. You can find them at Entertainment Earth or Funko right now, and I’ll add direct links to Amazon as soon as they’re available.
Netflix reports that the fifth season of Stranger Things was watched by 59.6 million people during its first weekend. While Netflix measured Season 4’s viewership differently – reporting total hours watched instead of individual views – we can estimate that Season 4 had around 31.6 million views. This means Season 5 nearly doubled the show’s audience compared to its previous season.
While 28 Years Later offered a seemingly complete ending, the film left behind a few intriguing details that open up possibilities for a sequel. The trailer for The Bone Temple highlights two key mysteries: what happened to Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) and his unusual bone temple, and the continuing danger posed by Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell), a cult leader with a potentially frightening past. The trailer also hints at a larger shift in the franchise’s overall direction.
Steam has been removing some adult-themed games this year, with Valve taking action against titles that violate their policies. While not all adult content is prohibited, certain material triggers a ban. This has sparked debate, with some arguing for artistic freedom and the use of age restrictions. However, the most recent game removed isn’t sexually explicit; it’s a particularly unsettling horror game.
The official artbook for Thunderbolts, titled Thunderbolts: The Art of the Movie, provided a closer look at the Sentry’s costume. Designed by the OXE Group and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the suit is revealed to be made of vibranium. Considering the Sentry already possesses incredible powers – including super strength, speed, healing, flight, telekinesis, and heat/telepathic abilities – this addition of vibranium makes him even more formidable and could be significant for future Marvel Cinematic Universe storylines.
While promoting her new movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zoe Saldaña revealed that saying goodbye to her character Neytiri will be more difficult than saying goodbye to Gamora. She explained that Neytiri was her first major role, and that first experience holds a special place in her heart. Saldaña feels Neytiri taught her so much and opened doors for her career, including getting noticed by directors James Gunn and J.J. Abrams. She considers her connection to Neytiri uniquely meaningful and the foundation for many opportunities.
Even though it didn’t last long, we saw a string of fantastic movies and shows, including Killer Joe (2011), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and the standout first season of True Detective (2014). Interstellar (2014) was also released around then, though it’s not really my cup of tea.
