Knowing which character to pull for during the Phase 2 banners ofHonkai: Star Rail3.0 can be tough, especially with the extended lineup that developer HoYoverse has prepared, including one new character who follows a brand-new playable Path, as well as three different 5-star reruns.With the limited number of Stellar Jades players can obtain for free through natural gameplay, they will likely have to make difficult choices. Even with all theStellar Jade inHonkai: Star Rail3....

Originally announced in 2022,Hyper Light Breakeris the third game to be released by indie developer Heart Machine, and a prequel to the studio’s 2016 debut title,Hyper Light Drifter.

I had completely ruled out one answer to an oldHarry Pottermystery, but I now realize all clues indicate I was wrong. The mystery I speak of was first introduced inHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it is something that has now been haunting me for years. In an often-overlooked detail, Dumbledore revealed to Harry thatVoldemort had planned to use his murder at Godric’s Hallow to make his final Horcrux. Of course, the Dark Lord’s plan was foiled, and he accidentally turned Harry into a Horcrux instead....

Looking back, I can’t help but wish we’d gotten to see one of the coolest costume decisions in a live-actionSupermanshow for longer than 2 short scenes and a collective runtime of just under a minute.Superman’s live-action historyis one of the most considerable in superhero history, with him and Batman squaring off to be theDChero who’s had the most on-screen movie time. However, when it comes to the matter of TV series, the Man of Steel easily takes the crown from his brooding ally, as there have been a far greater range oflive-action Superman showsstarring the Kryptonian over the years....

If Marvel wants to rivalAvengers: Infinity Warand Thanos withAvengers: Doomsdayand Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, the latter should copy the former’s villain POV trick. Robert Downey Jr. was the first name ever confirmed onAvengers: Doomsday’s cast list, with the shock announcement at 2024’s San Diego Comic-Con panel ratcheting up the excitement for the 2026 film. Since then, more updates aboutAvengers: Doomsday’s story, cast, and release date have only further increased the hype for the first installment in the series since 2019’sAvengers: Endgame....

If a follow-up toStar Trek: Voyagerstarring Kate Mulgrew as Admiral Kathryn Janeway is in the works, I hopeStar Trek: Janewayavoids the big mistake thatStar Trek: Picardmade. According toTrekCulture, Kate Mulgrew said she is"pursuing talks"regarding Janeway’s return to theStar Trekfranchise during the Evening With Kate Mulgrew panel on Star Trek Cruise VIII. The floating convention celebratedStar Trek: Voyager’s 30th anniversarywith an impressive, nearly-completeStar Trek: Voyagercastreunion. Star Trek’s precedent for returning captains is Patrick Stewart’s reprising Admiral Jean-Luc Picard inStar Trek: Picard, set 20 years afterStar Trek: Nemesis....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Invincible season 3, episodes 1-7.Invincibleis no stranger to making jokes even during its high-stakes action, but season 3 just continued a recurring gag that I’m still not sure anyone understands. Despite the Invincible War being one of the show’s most dramatic arcs yet, episode 7 still found time to dig up an ongoing joke that has been present since the first season. AfterInvincibleseason 3 delivered the show’s best title card gagduring Powerplex’s emotional rant, it became clear how committed the writers were to using comedy in the face of tragedy, which made its latest joke all the more appropriate....

As the first R-rated movie in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, it makes me sad thatKraven the Hunterdidn’t take advantage of that fact more often, only earning that rating for a few scenes. TheMarvelvillain finally made his live-action debut in his titular movie, but failed to garner much goodwill, asKraven the Hunteris one of the lesser outputs from the SSU. With a relatively lighter schedule ofMarvel movies in 2024, it’s a shame thatKraven the Hunterended the year on a lackluster note, as fans look towards 2025 and beyond....

The DCEU’sMan of Steelset up a very specific Metropolis challenge for theDCU’sSuperman.The firstSupermantrailerreveals that David Corenswet’s titular hero won’t be depicted as an invincible god. The trailer opens with a beaten-up Superman bleeding in the snow, and then shows him getting berated by an angry crowd and struggling to fight multiple enemies. Corenswet’s Superman also seems to have dips in motivation, as he appears to need Lois Lane’s words of courage in order to return to the battlefield at some point in the movie....

Summary James Wan is in talks to remake the horror classicCreature From The Black Lagoon, and for it to work, it should take note of one trick from one ofGuillermo del Toro’s best movies. In 1954, the monster horror movieCreature From The Black Lagoonwas released. Directed by Jack Arnold,Creature From The Black Lagoonwas filmed and shown in 3D, making it a more immersive experience and standing out from other monster movies at the time....

New fan art ofKeanu Reevesas Ghost Rider gives the actor his dream superhero in theMarvel Cinematic Universe. Reeves has gone through a career renaissance thanks to theJohn Wickfranchise. The movie series has cemented Reeves' potential as an action star, and while the MCU’s Punisher role, which would have been perfect for the actor, is already taken by Jon Bernthal,Reeves' Marvel dream role is Ghost Rider. The actor has wanted to play the character since he was a kid, and the MCU could make it happen....

Ruined Idol is a new in-game achievement for season 1.5 ofMarvel Rivals. The description is rather vague and cryptic, and just says you need to destroy a statue, “When Eternal Night falls on New York.” Thankfully, this can be completed in the new map, Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park. The only downside is it has to be done in Quick Play or Competitive, potentially taking attention away from taking the objective....

After teasing him at the end of the first film, it is a relief thatMortal Kombat 2seems to be getting the most important thing about Johnny Cage right. 2021’sMortal Kombatwas an unpredictable movie, as it was centered on a new character, Cole Young, rather than the franchise’s usual protagonist, Liu Kang. 2021’sMortal Kombatlargely deviated from the traditional stories told inMortal Kombat video games. Instead of focusing on a Mortal Kombat tournament, the film instead followed Cole and his allies as they unlocked their arcanas, which gave them powers....
