Even though recent superhero movies haven’t always been huge successes, as shown by some disappointing box office numbers in 2025, the genre remains popular with dedicated fans who are excited for what’s coming next. 2026 looks promising, with a lineup of films poised to deliver that excitement – although some movies are generating more buzz than others.
When a contestant on Jeopardy! performs as well as a top winner like Harrison Whitaker, it’s natural to assume they were destined for the show. Viewers also became curious about where Whitaker came from. Although he’s often identified as being from Terre Haute, Indiana, many noticed his accent sounded somewhat British – possibly because he now lives in the U.K. There was plenty of time for speculation, as Whitaker impressively won 14 games before losing to Libby Jones on December 1st. During his nearly three-week run, Whitaker became the 19th Jeopardy! super-champion after his tenth win and set a new record for the highest single-day winnings in season 42, earning $50,000 in one game.

Okay, so I just checked out Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and it’s made by the same team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge – which is awesome news if you liked that game! Basically, it’s a classic beat-’em-up where you team up with a bunch of Marvel heroes to fight off this big bad guy, Annihilus, and his army. The graphics are totally retro, like something straight out of the SNES era. They’ve got 15 heroes to choose from, including all the big names like Captain America, Storm, and Spider-Man, but they also threw in some cool deep cuts like Beta Ray Bill and Quasar. It really nails that old-school 90s video game vibe.
According to a post on PlayStation’s blog, the developers realized Judas excels at understanding machines far more than people. This became both her biggest asset and her biggest flaw. The game takes place on a futuristic colony ship populated by robots – a setting where her skills make her incredibly powerful, but also one where success depends on following the rules. Because Judas doesn’t conform, she’s an outcast. This central conflict shaped the entire game, leading the team to shift their focus from a traditional first-person shooter to what they call a ‘Judas Simulator,’ where all gameplay revolves around experiencing the world through her perspective.
Beyond basic copyright, things get even trickier with the public domain. While works in the public domain are generally free to use, popular characters like Peter Pan or Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz often have specific movie or TV appearances that are still protected by copyright, meaning you can’t use those exact visual depictions.

Okay, so I’ve been seeing all these crazy videos online – people opening up cans of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce, and instead of the jellied stuff, it’s just… water! It blew up on TikTok, Facebook, and X over Thanksgiving, and everyone’s wondering what’s going on. Apparently, Ocean Spray is looking into it after all these videos started going viral. It’s pretty wild!
