Netflix has been steadily adding more anime and manga-based shows to its library. Some adaptations, such as Death Note and Cowboy Bebop, didn’t quite hit the mark with viewers, but others, like One Piece and Alice in Borderland, have been both popular and well-received. Their newest manga adaptation appears to be following the same path of success.
The saga? Breached confidentiality, broken exclusivity clauses, and someone probably eating a muffin while reading internal docs. Core’s arguing Maple stole their intellectual property like a toddler swiping cake off a plate. 🤷♀️
Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, first proposed age restrictions for social media users on September 10, 2024, and those rules are now set to begin within weeks, a year after the initial announcement.
IDW’s Star Trek Deviations takes classic Star Trek episodes and reimagines them with a unique twist, similar to Marvel’s “What If?” comics. In February, a new issue will explore a significant moment in American history, using one of the show’s most memorable episodes as its starting point.
Season 4 of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory features a surprising return of a classic character from the original Jurassic Park. Throughout the run of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and now Chaos Theory, each season has felt like a continuation of the beloved ‘camp fam’ story. Unfortunately, after five seasons of Camp Cretaceous and four seasons of Chaos Theory, the journey of the Nublar Six has come to a close.
A recent post by Marvel insider @MyTimeToShineHello is fueling rumors about who will be cast in future Marvel projects. The insider shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Sabrina Carpenter is being considered for a significant role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and asked fans who they’d like to see her play.
Alaïa Jade (born Alana Jacobs), a fictional pop star portrayed by Lindsey Normington, has passed away within the story. Inspired by artists like Madonna, Kesha, and Katy Perry, Alaïa was stuck in a difficult situation with her producer, Shane Sills (played by Ben Chase). Shane controlled all of Alaïa’s music and even had access to her private files, allowing him to profit from anything she created. Though she’s gone, there’s enough unfinished music to release at least two albums after her death, and plans for a holographic concert are already underway. Shane Sills, like many exploitative figures in the music industry – including real-life people like Dr. Luke and Scott Borchetta – served as the inspiration for this character.
A sum so generous, it makes one’s jaw drop: JPY 21.3 trillion ($135.40 billion) worth of munificence. This, ladies and gentlemen, includes general account outlays of JPY 17.7 trillion, topping last year’s meager JPY 13.9 trillion by a considerable margin. Eclipsing anything seen since COVID laid low the world, topped off by a delightful JPY 2.7 trillion in tax cuts-efficiency and frugality be damned!
I was listening to an interview with Zach Cregger on the Crew Call podcast, and he said something pretty surprising. When asked if the older Resident Evil movies influenced his approach to the new one, he admitted he’s actually never seen them! He quickly clarified, though, that he’s a huge fan of the games – he’s played them constantly and feels like a real expert on the Resident Evil franchise as a whole. So, it’s all about the games for him, not the films!
The strange event called the Joining, which has dramatically changed the world, appears to have come from somewhere outside of Earth. However, the source of the genetic code behind it remains a mystery. The show’s creator, Vince Gilligan, seems content to leave the origins of the Joining unexplained, choosing instead to focus on its impact on the characters and the world around them. This approach aligns with his previous work, most notably Breaking Bad, which prioritized character development. Despite this, Gilligan is slowly revealing more about the Joining throughout the first season, weaving its unusual premise into the ongoing narrative.
