Watching Gachiakuta, I quickly realized it wasn’t just about getting revenge. It really made me think about what we choose to protect, and who gets left behind. The story, told through the character Rudo, felt like a raw look at the pain of being forgotten and the fierce determination to find meaning even when everything seems lost. Unlike a lot of modern manga heroes who represent hope, Rudo embodies resentment. His journey isn’t about being righteous or achieving justice; it’s simply about surviving and taking back what was stolen from him. He’s driven to prove that even those society deems worthless can have a purpose. And in doing so, Gachiakuta doesn’t just tell a story about trash; it feels like it’s redefining what shonen anime can even be.

Mark Hamill has announced he’s finished with Star Wars. At the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, he explained that the new movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, featuring Ryan Gosling, doesn’t need his guidance or help.

The latest Stranger Things trailer takes us back to fall 1987. Hawkins has been taken over by the military and is under quarantine, as a huge tear to the Upside Down is releasing monsters. Mike Wheeler explains their goal: they have to find Vecna and finally stop him.

As a huge Stranger Things fan, I was fascinated to hear from the Duffer brothers about Vecna’s look in the final season. Apparently, the new trailer gives you a peek at Jamie Campbell Bower’s character, and he seems even more powerful as he faces off against Noah Schnapp’s Will Byers. It’s going to be intense!

As a huge Stephen King fan, I’m completely hooked on HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry, and it’s the kind of show you just want to rewatch, pausing to catch everything. While it’s based on a specific story from IT, the creators have packed each episode with tons of easter eggs and nods to both the IT movies and the wider Stephen King universe. The first episode was full of them, and now that the second one’s out, I’ve been having a blast digging into all the cool details in this new chapter.

The first episode, “The Pilot,” hinted that Hallorann would be a key player in the first season, though his specific purpose wasn’t clear. The second episode, “The Thing in the Dark,” clarifies his role by delving deeper into the nearby Army base and its classified activities.

Here’s how to successfully revive a story: focus on what’s happening now, and it’s okay to include references to the past – everyone does that! Think about how Andy Sipowicz’s history shaped his character on NYPD Blue, but David Milch didn’t reveal everything at once. Flashbacks and past references work well, but only when they add to the current storyline, and that’s exactly what happens in Powers #25.

Despite the lack of a trailer, details about the upcoming DCU show, Lanterns, remain scarce – we still don’t know much about the story or when it will premiere. However, many of the actors and their characters have been announced, giving fans some clues about what to expect. From exciting new heroes with potential for future appearances to terrifying villains, here’s a complete list of confirmed cast members for the first season of Lanterns.
