Things have shifted recently, as The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a huge success, and films like Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, and Gran Turismo were generally well-received. Interestingly, the video game movie with the best score on Rotten Tomatoes isn’t based on a game most people would recognize.
Looking back, the bold choices made in The Acolyte seem less like mistakes and more like daring attempts to try something new, completely changing how we view the series. Released on Disney+ in 2024, the show takes place near the end of the High Republic era, about a hundred years before the events of the Skywalker saga. It serves as both a prequel, filling in backstory, and an expansion of the Star Wars universe, showing a broader picture of the Jedi’s power and the growing tension across the galaxy.
It’s normal for new streaming shows to have fluctuating viewership at the start, but the fact that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy hasn’t appeared on the charts—even with several episodes now released—suggests it may not be resonating with audiences as much as the streaming platform expected.
The Marvel Anime series, which includes adaptations of Iron Man, Wolverine, Blade, and the X-Men, is a unique project that often goes underappreciated. It’s a loving tribute to both Marvel Comics and the anime style, and a clever take on how stories can be reimagined. By presenting these well-known Marvel characters as anime, the series creates a fresh, yet still detailed and engaging, universe.
Jeff Sneider recently reported that Marvel Studios is no longer planning to release Avengers: Secret Wars as two separate movies.
I’m really excited because I’ve heard rumors about a new show connected to Henry Danger!

Masters of the Universe has existed in many different forms over time. Most versions take place on the planet Eternia, focusing on the fight for the magical power held within Castle Grayskull.

One patient arrives accompanied by a medical team that includes Dr. Jack Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), a fan-favorite attending physician from Season 1 of The Pitt. He’s now in a new role, but still doing excellent work, much to the delight of viewers.
The new series offers a fresh take on Star Trek, particularly through its young characters. These students are the first to attend Starfleet Academy in over a century, growing up in a galaxy where the Federation is strong and living up to its values. This means they’re not just learning to be starship officers – they’re discovering the true meaning of Starfleet itself, making them different from characters we’ve seen before. The show is designed to appeal to a new, younger audience, and it uses modern language to do so.
