Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films made two swords incredibly famous: Sting, the Elvish dagger that glows around orcs, and Andúril, the powerful sword wielded by Aragorn. These weapons became iconic thanks to detailed design and the films’ massive popularity. While Sting and Andúril are well-deserved favorites, many other memorable swords have appeared in fantasy movies and become part of pop culture.
As a big fan of The Big Bang Theory, I’ve noticed all the spinoffs have been prequels, digging into Sheldon’s past and his family. But that’s about to change! Chuck Lorre is working with Bill Prady again – the original co-creator – and they’re making a completely new show set in the present day: Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. It’s going to focus on Kevin Sussman’s character, Stuart Bloom, and is expected to hit HBO Max sometime this year. What I’m really excited about is that it seems like this show will finally fulfill some of the potential that was hinted at in the original series – it’s been a long time coming, and I can’t wait to see where they take it!
Here are the standout original character designs from Marvel Comics that appear specifically in the “Days of Future Past” timeline, also called Earth-811.
Remember those Super Nintendo games your older brother or sister probably beat for you in the ’90s? You can now play through them yourself!
Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is clearly inspired by the classic NES game from Konami released in 1987, and it mostly succeeds as a fun and engaging action platformer, featuring enjoyable combat and clever level design.
Wow, Daredevil: Born Again is really going for it in Season 2! Episode 5, “The Grand Design,” follows up on the intensity of “Gloves Off,” and things are seriously escalating. After Bullseye hurts Vanessa, she’s in the hospital fighting for her life, and seeing Fisk at her side is heartbreaking, even though she wasn’t exactly a good person herself. Honestly, their messed-up connection is what made it so compelling. When she dies at the end of the episode, it’s a truly haunting moment. It leaves Fisk in this raw, vulnerable state that’s surprisingly relatable, and you almost feel bad for him… but you know New York City is about to pay the price for it. It’s a really powerful and unsettling setup.
Thursday’s rebellion wasn’t just a political disaster-it was a full-blown farce. After a week of backroom deals, CIA PowerPoint slides, and Trump’s most unhinged tweets, Johnson’s 218-seat GOP majority imploded over… warrants. Because nothing bonds a party like debating whether to let the government legally snoop on you without one.
By Jove, X has let slip that its new Cashtags feature has already rattled up an estimated $1 billion in trading volume, globally speaking. Not too shabby for a few days’ work, what?
Since being diagnosed in 2021, the actress from Dead to Me has openly shared her experiences with the condition. It happens when the body’s immune system accidentally attacks the brain and spinal cord.
As a fan of the show, it’s become really clear that Homelander is losing it. We’re seeing more and more signs of his instability – he’s hearing voices, and the creepy high-pitched sound with flashing lights whenever there are cameras just adds to it. Then, he does something completely impulsive: he tells the press that Soldier Boy isn’t just a hero, but his father! The guy literally just sent Soldier Boy into a risky situation without giving him everything he needed to know. They already had a strained relationship, but this is a whole new level of messed up. And in a private moment, Soldier Boy just tears into Homelander, calling him…well, it was a really unsettling and frankly disturbing insult. It just felt…wrong.
