And while Logan, Darkman, and Birds of Prey definitely have some intense moments, they weren’t as graphic or shocking as some of the others on the list. They might still be a bit much for younger viewers, but compared to the really extreme ones, they’re relatively tame.

EA’s Biggest Flop Has Been Getting Far More Support Than It Deserves

Games sometimes fail at launch for many reasons, like serious technical problems or a lack of exciting features that players were expecting. Excessive in-game purchases can also create negative feedback, as Electronic Arts has seen happen with some of its titles.

Jujutsu Kaisen Delivers Its Best Battle Yet by Taking Inspiration From an Early 2000s American Action Thriller (And It’s Perfect)

MAPPA, the studio behind the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, seems to be putting a lot of effort into the details of Season 3.
