WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for That '90s Show season 1! One of Red and Hyde’s most memorable arguments in That ‘70s Show is revived in That ‘90s Show , but Red’s perspective has now changed. Red and Hyde had one of the greatest dynamics in That ‘70s Show , as they often switched between exhibiting a caring father-and-son-type relationship to trying to purposefully anger each other and get under their skin. Because Red represented a more conservative perspective on life and Hyde symbolized the liberal counter-culture movement, the pair often engaged in hilarious arguments about politics, culture, and conspiracies, which are still relevant in That ‘90s Show .

The Last of Us episode 3 ends with Joel and Ellie finding Bill's suicide letter, something that perfectly foreshadows Joel's season 1 ending.

Thanks to his variant creating a new branch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s main timeline, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has become one of the most important characters in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, so much so that he could end up being Iron Man’s replacement, though in a tragic way. As the character who kicked off the MCU as it’s now known, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) led the Infinity Saga and the original Avengers team (with the help of Captain America), and it was only fitting that he would be the one who saved the universe by sacrificing himself in Avengers: Endgame .

A deleted scene from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever reveals how Okoye almost became queen of Wakanda. Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, and co-written by Joe Robert Cole, the sequel to 2018's Black Panther sees the Kingdom of Wakanda dealing with the aftermath of T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) death.

After Namor kidnaps Shuri and Williams, Ramonda strips Okoye of her title of general of the Dora Milaje, which leads to her becoming a Midnight Angel near the end of the film.

The ending to the 1998's The Truman Show has stood the test of time due to the fact that it is emotionally resonating. Dealing with the everyday life of its titular protagonist, The Truman Show finds him living in a gigantic set that is planted with actors and fake scenarios with Truman's very existence serving as the basis for a reality show. Tackling the obsession of people with reality television while also exploring larger notions of philosophy, the trio of director Peter Weir, writer Andrew Niccol, and leading man Jim Carrey stick the landing with an ending for the ages.

The legacy of Nog (Aron Eisenberg) on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was honored in the best way by Star Trek: Prodigy .

Warning! Contains a preview of "Black Paradise" from DC Power: A Celebration Amazing Man , the earliest Black superhero in DC Comics continuity, finally makes his triumphant, white-supremacist-punching return to the DC Universe in DC Power: A Celebration . This new take on the character shows how a 1950s Black superhero dealt with the racism of his era and reinserts this importance piece of history into DC continuity. Will Everett, the Amazing Man, has the power to absorb the physical properties of any material he touches. As a member of the All-Star Squadron, Will is a World War II-era superhero drafted to fight Nazis. Will, along with the rest of the All-Star Squadron, has fallen into obscurity overtime, especially since the New 52 reboot in 2011 erased the presence of all superheroes prior to the 21st century.

In addition to Eleven continuing to lead the series, the show’s creators have confirmed that Will Byers will be a major focus in Stranger Things season 5, thus amending the failures of sidelining his character in seasons 3 and 4.

Details on Fear the Walking Dead season 8 point to a repeat of season 6's story and a mistake it made with Morgan Jones.

Gerard Butler revealed that he almost killed co-star Hilary Swank in an incident involving a crocodile clamp while shooting a scene for their film P.S. I Love You . The romantic drama, which was released in 2007, was directed by Richard LaGravenese and based on the Cecelia Ahern novel of the same name. While it was a success at the box office and well-liked by audiences, the film garnered largely negative reviews from critics who thought that Swank was miscast in the lead role and largely panned the adaptation of Ahern's book.

Unsurprisingly, he was among the Academy Award nominees for Best Supporting Actor.

The DCU ’s final movies have essentially been rendered insignificant as proved by an update regarding Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom . The franchise has been in a constant state of flux for months now, and while James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as heads of DC Studios in December might steady the sinking ship, its future might be coming at the expense of its current slate. Henry Cavill’s out as Superman, Patti Jenkins has left Wonder Woman 3 , and Jason Momoa may be moving to a new role following Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom .

He also reprised the role in Paramount+'s Teen Wolf: The Movie , which just premiered on January 26.

Star Trek Generations featured the stunning destruction of the Enterprise-D, the beloved hero ship from Star Trek: The Next Generation , a mistake that hindered the proceeding TNG movies in both big and small ways. The Enterprise-D was the primary setting for all seven seasons of TNG , the Galaxy-class flagship of the Federation. In contrast to the brightly colored, highly stylized future military look of Captain Kirk's Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series , Captain Picard's Enterprise-D had a warmer, more welcoming aesthetic while also boasting the top of the line in weaponry and defense systems Starfleet had to offer in the mid-24th century.

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II!

Darth Vader’s redemption and subsequent death are key moments in Return of the Jedi , but the Star Wars saga would be irrevocably changed had the former Sith Lord survived. The Star Wars franchise’s two main continuities, canon and Legends, each depict different versions of the original trilogy era, providing different contexts for Darth Vader’s hypothetical survival. The two timelines and their differing iterations of the New Republic, the new generation of the Jedi Order, and the post-Endor Imperial factions, as well as the two different versions of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, would all be affected by Darth Vader’s survival in fascinating ways.

Lt. Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia) in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has a brilliant connection to Star Trek: The Original Series . Along with being a hotshot pilot who has a snappy repartee with Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Ortegas is also an irrepressible prankster. The snarky helmsman of the USS Enterprise won over audiences, and Ortegas' fans have hilariously branded her a "chaos muppet." Erica is one of the reasons why Strange New Worlds is such a hit.

The much-maligned Star Wars sequel trilogy turned out to be a fiasco for Disney, but how could the trilogy have been fixed?

Image Comics' The Walking Dead from creators Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore has become one of the most definitive representations of zombie mythology in entertainment. However, the Eisner Award-winning comic book series may not have reached the heights of its popularity without George A. Romero's highly influential Night of the Living Dead film series. Romero's cult classic films reinvigorated life into the zombie genre for modern moviegoers and introduced a variety of zombies that would continuously advance throughout several films.

Tobey Maguire is ready to keep playing Spider-Man and wants to return again after Spider-Man: No Way Home . The 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe movie managed to bring all three live-action movie Spider-Man actors together for a cinematic event. For Tobey Maguire, it marked his return to Spider-Man for the first time since 2007's Spider-Man 3 . Since Sony rebooted the web-slinger twice after that movie, it was largely thought that his days of playing the character were over. Spider-Man: No Way Home proved that Tobey Maguire could still play Peter Parker and reinvigorated interest in seeing more of him in some capacity.

In Star Trek: Picard , Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has finally found love with Laris (Orla Brady), but Jean-Luc's romance with Anij (Donna Murphy) in Star Trek: Insurrection was forgotten.

Warning: SPOILERS for Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #3 Rarely seen in battle contexts, Starfire 's most underrated power is unleashed once again in a new issue of Blue Beetle: Graduation Day .

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness reveals how the time travel featured in Avengers: Endgame altered his plans for Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the upcoming Phase 6 team-up movie.

Flora and Son is a delightful crowd-pleaser. Its characters’ lives are well-developed and, though they have their fair set of issues, John Carney’s latest feature is light and heartwarming. Eve Hewson’s performance is top-notch, and the music is fun and lively. Carney knows how to create an enjoyable experience while also maintaining a sense of humor despite a few harrowing moments. Flora and Son is energetic, easygoing, and charming. With a great cast, lovely musical numbers, and a stupendous lead performance by Hewson, Carney doesn’t disappoint.

An underrated episode of Star Trek: The Original Series featured one of Captain James T. Kirk's (William Shatner) most questionable romances. The TOS version of Kirk was very much a product of 1960s TV storytelling conventions; he was the Captain and thus, the hero of the TV series, which means Kirk gets to punch out the bad guy, and he always gets the girl (until the next week's episode). But the introduction of Lenore Karidian (Barbara Anderson), Kirk's love interest in "The Conscience of the King," was problematic in several ways.

Varya Malina has made her loyalty to her 90 Day Fiancé franchise partner Geoffrey Paschel known, but now rumors have started that she is coming up with an excuse not to see him in prison. The Russian woman has been linked to the American criminal since they appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days , which has led to her supporting him during his trial and incarceration for assault and kidnapping. However, 90 Day Fiancé fans think Varya might finally be fed up with Geoffrey.

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Night Court season 1, episode 3, "Just Tuesday." The revelation that Judge Abby Stone is a recovering alcoholic in the Night Court revival seems to parallel the real life experiences of actor John Larroquette. The Night Court episode "Just Tuesday" centered around Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) struggling to find her footing in her new position, serving in the same criminal arraignment court over which her father once presided. The episode featured a touching scene in which her father's friend, Dan Fielding (John Larroquette), offered his support, showcasing how his character found redemption following the original Night Court .

The Circle has always cast a wide range of compelling personalities, but in The Circle season 5, Raven Sutton made history as the first deaf person to compete on the Netflix reality show, and she recently opened up about the experience. Raven was teamed up with her interpreter, Paris McTizic, but Raven was in complete control of her own game. She brought a lot to The Circle , whether it was compelling strategy or an unintentional love triangle with Marvin Achi. Along the way, Raven shared her true authentic self with the audience and brought representation that The Circle had not seen before.

Following the release of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish , director Joel Crawford addresses the state of CGI-animated movies and reveals that there's one film, in particular, that marked a major shift for the entire industry. Serving as a spinoff from the Shrek franchise, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was in development, in one form or another, since 2012. Puss, voiced by Antonio Banderas, was first introduced in Shrek 2 in 2004, a role that he would later reprise for Shrek the Third in 2007 and the first Puss in Boots in 2011. The latest installment sees Puss, now on the last of his nine lives, embark on an epic adventure in an attempt to fully restore them.

Tania first appeared with her ex-husband Syngin Colchester on 90 Day Fiancé season 7, when he moved to her home state of Connecticut from South Africa so that the two could get married.

The end of the Harry Potter series saw Harry survive Voldemort's Killing Curse in the Forbidden Forest, and the reason for his survival was given away early in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book. Harry never fully understood his resiliency until his long talk with Dumbledore in the King's Cross limbo, where the headmaster's spirit explained that when Voldemort used Harry's blood to resurrect his body, he created a connection between them that death itself could not sever. Dumbledore knew this from the moment he learned of Voldemort's Regeneration potion, and he subtly gave it away.

The killing of James Bond in No Time to Die may have been a shocking revelation, but it also overshadowed another of the film’s major moments. For over fifty years, the Bond franchise has held its own, through good times and bad, building and refining what has become one of the most enduring cinematic franchises of all time. Not only has the 007 character been cemented into pop culture over the years, but the series also gave rise to a variety of recurring characters, some of which were essential to the franchise as a whole.

Johnny Depp is returning to movies with La Favorite , and while it may not be the kind of project expected from the star, it makes sense considering the actor's history. This film will be Johnny Depp's first big screen appearance since his highly publicized defamation trial and removal from the Fantastic Beasts and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises. While Depp is known for his big Hollywood projects, La Favorite diverts from past expectations.

Captain William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) saved the day in Star Trek: Lower Decks ' season 1 finale, but the show seems to have forgotten the bombshell that Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) was Riker's protégé. Riker and the USS Titan rode to the rescue of the USS Cerritos in Lower Decks ' season 1 ending, "No Small Parts," which prompted Ensign Bradward Boimler (Jack Quaid) to transfer from the Cerritos to the Titan.

Parker for a new multiversal adventure that will see them meet different Spider-Men variants — including Playstation Spider-Man.

The inevitable sequel to Top Gun: Maverick , Top Gun 3, will need to overcome a specific curse that often follows threequels to 1980s movies. The original Top Gun came out in 1986, with the sequel taking over 25 years to release. Top Gun: Maverick was released in 2022 and continued the franchise in a much-improved fashion. This was evident by the sequel's box office haul, with Top Gun: Maverick earning a worldwide total of over $1.4 billion to become the second-highest-grossing 2022 release.

On its visit to the planet Tython, The Mandalorian secretly introduced a classic Star Wars Legends location back into official canon. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm back in 2012, the House of Mouse made the difficult decision to brand the old Expanded Universe " Legends " - that is to say, non-canon. Lucasfilm wasted little time drawing some of the best concepts and characters back into canon, of course; in fact, there's abundant evidence the villain of The Mandalorian era is Grand Admiral Thrawn , an antagonist who made his debut in Legends.

A video revealing a brief look at the original fight planned for Anakin and Count Dooku’s duel in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has been recently unearthed by the movie’s stunt director, and the original lightsaber choreography highlights interesting details of Anakin’s fighting style.

MCU Phase 5 is missing several key Avengers heroes, but none are more conspicuous by their absence than Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). As the MCU has grown, it's inevitably meant longer gaps between appearances for many of the heroes, and gone are the days when someone like Iron Man could have three solo movies and an Avengers film within five years. Arguably no one better exemplifies that than Doctor Strange: the gap between his first two solo movies was longer than the time it took for the full Iron Man trilogy.

WARNING! This article contains minor SPOILERS for That '90s Show season 1! Netflix’s That ‘90s Show fails to repeat one of the most iconic aspects of That ‘70s Show , but it ultimately works in the sequel series’ favor. That ‘90s Show brings Point Place, Wisconsin to a new decade and cultural climate, as the sitcom picks up 15 years after That ‘70s Show ’s series finale. Over the course of the summer of 1995, Leia Forman, Jay Kelso, and the new generation of Point Place teens find themselves going to the same places, enjoying the same activities in the Forman basement, and coming into contact with many of the same local figures that their parents did two decades before.

Avatar: The Way of Water 's record-breaking box office run has now reached over $2 billion.

Avatar: The Way of Water sees Cameron re-teaming with his original cast including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang, in addition to franchise newcomers like Edie Falco, Jack Champion, and Kate Winslet.

In The Hunger Games books, Plutarch Heavensbee tells Katniss the nation of Panem's name comes from an old Latin phrase, which further reveals the manipulative nature of the Capitol. While the tactics of Panem's government were nothing new to Katniss, this information gave more profound meaning to the intention of the Hunger Games. It demonstrated how even the elite citizens of the Capitol were only pawns that allowed people like President Coriolanus Snow to keep power in The Hunger Games .

Jamal Menzies from 90 Day Fiancé is flaunting his fitness progress for his Instagram followers in a rare gym selfie. The 27-year-old from San Diego debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 during his mom Kim Menzies and Usman "Sojaboy" Umar's storyline. Despite his brief appearance and very few scenes, Jamal quickly became a fan favorite until he fell from grace for dating, but not committing to, Veronica Rodriguez on 90 Day: The Single Life season 3. But it looks like, in 2023, things are changing for Jamal.

In addition to being known for catapulting comedian Jim Carrey to international fame, Ace Ventura also contains a cameo from a death metal band that is actually a sweet story. The 1990s was a decade well-known for incongruous cameos in comedy movies. However, it’s still jarring to see a band like Cannibal Corpse make a random appearance in a slapstick comedy like Ace Ventura . Ace tries to act casual, but in doing so, he becomes even more conspicuous amidst the raucous sounds of the band and their enraptured fans.

When Dr. Beverly Crusher returns in Star Trek: Picard season 3, Gates McFadden's character could fall closer to Gene Roddenberry's original vision than she did in Star Trek: The Next Generation . Despite a brief absence during season 2, Beverly Crusher was a vital component of the main Enterprise crew throughout Star Trek: The Next Generation . Serving as the ship's chief medical officer, Dr. Crusher became known for her deep knowledge, empathetic heart, and wise advice, in addition to raising Wesley as a single parent and sharing a close friendship with Jean-Luc Picard. Dr. Crusher is not, however, remembered for her all-action, ass-kicking heroism.

Secret Invasion will shake up the MCU as characters are revealed to have been undercover Skrulls, but Captain Marvel may have already answered why the Skrulls are invading. As Nick Fury and his allies uncover the secretive alien operation to take over the planet, they will no doubt trace the origins of the invasion back to a key detail dating all the way back to the mid-90s, during the events of Captain Marvel . And the first encounters that Nick Fury and Carol Danvers had with the Skrulls during the events of this film may hold the key to why the alien shapeshifters are attacking Earth during the upcoming Disney+ series.

Samsung Display has shown off a new foldable display that can fold both inwards and outwards. Most foldable smartphones have the same design — a cover display and an inner flexible display that unfolds into a larger screen. However, there are a few manufacturers that have taken a different approach. An example is Huawei's Mate Xs 2, which has a single display that folds outward to serve as the cover screen and unfolds into a larger display.

Although Kim Menzies has aired a much-praised glow-up throughout her time in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, she is one of many cast members who have also aired some fashion fails on both TLC and social media. The American mother of Jamal Menzies has risen to fast fame in the franchise after appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5, and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7. While Kim has recently been making new style choices that suit her figure, she has been called out for several questionable looks since appearing in the franchise.

In Dungeons & Dragons , there are many astounding spells available for magic casters, but there are also some that are generally less useful, and could make great cantrips to allow players to still play around with them and not waste a spell slot. Many of these spells could come in handy for certain situations, but may not be seen as necessary enough when weighed against the other spells which could be prepared instead. Since cantrips have the benefit of not needing to be prepared in advance or having to take up a spell slot it makes them much easier to employ, and frees players up for more innovative uses for them.

Warning! SPOILERS for Velma season 1. HBO Max's Velma puts a new spin on the "Danger-Prone Daphne" nickname that Daphne Blake acquired in the original Scooby-Doo cartoons. Originally Daphne's primary role in the Mysteries Incorporated team was to be the damsel in distress who was captured by the villain of the week. While later Scooby-Doo series and movies made her a more capable heroine, Daphne Blake is still the Scooby-Doo character most likely to get lost or accidentally stumble upon a secret passageway or trap-door.

After seeing Julia Trubkina in Brandon Gibbs' new video, rumors are swirling that the 90 Day Fiancé star is pregnant. Fans may remember Brandon and Julia from their appearance in 90 Day Fiancé season 8. Although the couple seemed very much in love with each other, their storyline painted Brandon's parents, Ron and Betty Gibbs, as villains. After seeing Julia's explosive arguments with Betty and Ron, it was assumed the couple wouldn't get married. But Brandon and his Russian partner surprised fans by tying the knot amid the peak of the global COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.

90 Day Fiancé cast members wore the same clothes during the multi-day Tell-All for a few valid reasons.

The network gave viewers a no-limit look at the stars, showing them interacting outside the studio setting.

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Wars: Darth Vader #30! Despite his mother being Padmé Amidala , a former queen and galactic hero, there is little mention in the Star Wars saga of Luke Skywalker learning about her life, or even being interested in finding out.

Unlike the comics, however, the MCU’s Thunderbolts team features more anti-heroes than villains.

While Rick and Morty season 6 promised that Rick would finally change, most of the show's longtime viewers had no idea he would change for the worse. It is not easy for any series, let alone a show as anarchically inventive as Rick and Morty , to make its characters grow and change while still maintaining their original appeal.

As Puss In Boots 2: The Last Wish slices up the box office, a fairy tale ending for Shrek 5 begins to look inevitable.
