The trend of bringing back beloved franchises isn’t likely to stop anytime soon. Over the next year, we’ll see several major franchises return after a break, and early signs suggest some of them are heading in a positive direction that will keep fans engaged. We’ve focused on true revivals here, excluding anything connected to ongoing series. For example, while Evil Dead Burn feels like a reboot, it could also be seen as a standalone story, similar to Evil Dead Rise, which was released less than three years ago.

The new show, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, is facing a lot of controversy. Even before the first season is complete, it’s been targeted by negative reviews, largely from people claiming to be fans who are upset with the show’s diverse cast. However, the latest episode, “Series Acclimation Mil,” has drawn valid criticism for how it portrays Benjamin Sisko, a highly popular character from Deep Space Nine and a fan favorite across the Star Trek franchise.

As a Highguard player, I was really excited to see the new 5v5 mode drop – the 3v3 matches always felt cramped on those big maps! And honestly, at first glance, it does feel better. Things are clearer, the matches move faster, and there are some genuinely thrilling moments that were missing before. But after playing a bit, I realized it doesn’t really fix the core problems with the game. Highguard still feels a bit… thrown together, and it’s becoming clear that changing the rules just isn’t enough to make everything click.

Released in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a nearly two-and-a-half-hour film with surprisingly little dialogue – just 40 minutes. Astronaut Leroy Chiao, a commander of the International Space Station who spent over six months in space, recently praised the film in a CNN interview, calling its depiction of space “fantastic” for its time. He also suggests reading the original book first, saying it will make the movie even more impactful.

Let’s explore the seven most influential leaders of the X-Men. We’ll be judging them based on how well they led their teams and the lasting impact they had. Over the years, many mutants have taken on leadership roles, each bringing something different to the fight for mutant and human safety. But the seven we’re highlighting today went above and beyond simply managing the team. So, let’s dive in and see how they rank as leaders.

Today’s Star Trek shows have changed a lot, but Lower Decks really captures the heart of what Star Trek is all about, and it does so with a funny, animated style. Interestingly, the idea for Lower Decks actually started with an episode of The Next Generation. Back on February 7, 1994, Star Trek: The Next Generation aired “Lower Decks,” which told a story from the perspective of the crew members who weren’t on the bridge. That episode ultimately inspired the creation of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Deku’s father has been a mysterious figure in My Hero Academia. While the manga and anime briefly mentioned his quirk through Deku’s mother, Inko, fans have long wondered about him. Recently, a small scene in My Hero Academia: All’s Justice provided an update, as noted by a fan on X (@shibuyasmash).

There was a real eagerness to see a Japanese role-playing game, or JRPG, released, particularly as Xbox was trying – though not for long – to gain a foothold in Japan and challenge PlayStation. While that effort ultimately failed, it did result in something unusual: a JRPG made by FromSoftware, a studio better known for other types of games. This game, Enchanted Arms, released in 2006, is a delightfully strange and charming title that sadly remains largely unknown, even though it’s a unique part of FromSoftware’s history.

Netflix added a hidden sci-fi treasure called Archive on February 6th – it’s a must-see for fans of the genre. This 2020 British film, directed by Gavin Rothery in his first feature film, stars Theo James, Rhona Mitra, and Toby Jones. The story follows a scientist who’s determined to use artificial intelligence to reunite with his deceased wife.
