It’s Not Sakura’s Fault Masashi Kishimoto Doesn’t Know How to Write Women

Sakura Haruno often gets a lot of criticism from *Naruto* fans, but much of it is unfair. While characters like Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, and Temari aren’t developed as fully as Naruto, Sasuke, or Kakashi, that’s true for most of the series’ cast. It’s also important to remember that despite years of negativity from some male fans, Sakura was a key reason many women started watching *Naruto*, and she continues to be a very popular character.

Marvel Studios Releases Historic Poster Showing Thanos’ Phase 6 Return

I’m so hyped for *Marvel Zombies* – the second series in Phase 6! Marvel Studios just dropped this really cool poster, and it’s packed with all these zombified versions of our favorite heroes and villains. We’re talking Thanos, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Abomination, Wasp, and even Ant-Man and Hank Pym! What’s interesting is that instead of being a tall, standard poster, it’s actually wider than it is tall. Apparently, there’s a reason for that design choice, which is pretty neat.

Dragon Ball Officially Has A Final Villain & It’s Not Frieza

Looking back, if we ever see the rumored Black Frieza story arc, it won’t really be *Dragon Ball* as created by Akira Toriyama anymore. Sadly, with Toriyama’s passing, Toyotarou will be writing it without his guidance. From what I understand, Toriyama actually intended Cell to be the final villain. He considered Cell Max the concluding major villain for the *DBS* storyline that he personally oversaw, and felt it brought the core ideas of *Dragon Ball* to a really fitting end.

If You Loved Barbarian, Watch Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs

Wes Craven had a knack for turning ordinary settings into terrifying situations, and *The People Under the Stairs* is a prime example. Like his film *A Nightmare on Elm Street*, which was inspired by reports of people dying suddenly in their sleep, Craven found horror in everyday life. He’d take something familiar – like dreaming – and twist it into something frightening. This approach works because it makes the fear feel real and relatable. Craven’s films often balance scary moments with humor, and moments of levity are often tinged with unease. Whether you’re revisiting *The People Under the Stairs* for a nostalgic experience or discovering it for the first time, the film remains surprisingly relevant and impactful today.

Sigourney Weaver’s ‘Alien’ Return Would Be the Worst Thing for the Series

Ten years ago, seeing Sigourney Weaver back in an *Alien* movie would have been great news. However, with the recent success of *Alien: Romulus* and *Alien: Earth* in introducing new characters, and with audiences starting to tire of sequels that rely too much on the past, Weaver’s return feels more draining than thrilling. Ellen Ripley is an iconic character, and Sigourney Weaver is a fantastic actress, but the *Alien* franchise needs to move forward and leave Ripley behind.

That Time The Twilight Cast Surprised Breaking Dawn’s Director With A Choreographed Dance On Set

Director Condon has a new movie coming out in 2025 – a musical called *Kiss of the Spider Woman* starring Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna. Although the *Twilight* films were quite different, he remembered working on this musical while filming the large battle scene at the end of the final *Twilight* movie. He shared this memory at the New York City premiere.

DC Removes Peacemaker Character from Official Social Media Profile Following Season 2 Finale Backlash

DC Studios has switched the animal featured in its profile pictures on YouTube and Instagram. Previously, the images showed Eagly, the bird from *Peacemaker*, sporting sunglasses and headphones with the DC logo. Now, they’ve been updated to feature Krypto the Superdog from *Superman*. This change happened around August 20th, shortly after the first episode of *Peacemaker* Season 2 was released.

Ethan Hawke Opens Up About Losing The Oscar Race For Training Day (And What Denzel Washington Was ‘Right’ About)

Ethan Hawke received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 74th Academy Awards, competing against well-known actors like Ben Kingsley, Ian McKellen, Jim Broadbent, and Jon Voight. Jim Broadbent eventually won the award for his role in *Iris*. You might expect Hawke to have been disappointed by the loss, but he shared on Variety’s *Awards Circuit Podcast* that a thoughtful comment from a colleague helped him see things differently.

Anthony Hopkins & Ryan Gosling Stole the Show in This Overlooked Mystery Gem

Anthony Hopkins truly became a legendary villain thanks to his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in films like *The Silence of the Lambs*, *Hannibal*, and *Red Dragon*. He perfectly captured the character’s chilling nature, intelligence, and captivating personality, creating some of the most memorable moments in thriller history, particularly alongside Jodie Foster. His intense on-screen presence is unforgettable. Five years after last playing the cannibalistic killer, Hopkins returned to the thriller genre with a lesser-known, but excellent, 2007 film. While more of a courtroom drama than a typical mystery, this gem – featuring Ryan Gosling – is a hidden classic that any fan of the genre, and especially fans of Hopkins’ iconic role, should definitely watch.
