The Dark Kingdom arc is the first Sailor Moon arc, whose base storyline is canon in the manga series, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, in the '90s original anime, and in the reboot anime, Sailor Moon Crystal. The '90s Sailor Moon anime was purposefully extended by studios with several filler arcs. The thought was to make the '90s anime as interesting and engaging as possible to a wide audience. One of the main added filler arcs is the Seven Great Youma mini-arc.

Crystals are a key component in Sailor Moon, and the Seven Great Youma each carry one of the Seven Rainbow Crystals. These Great Youma were key warriors who fought on the side of Queen Beryl and Queen Metalia, helping to topple the Moon Kingdom. When the Seven Great Youma fell, Queen Serenity imprisoned them in crystals and sent them to Earth to be reborn as gifted and virtuous humans.

The Seven Great Youma is a mini-arc that begins in the second half of Sailor Moon's first season. While the Seven Great Youma are an important part of Queen Beryl and Queen Metalia's plans in the Dark Kingdom arc, the subplot only exists in the original '90s anime and doesn't come from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon manga canon. These Great Youma are meant to be the Dark Kingdom's strongest warriors, also called the Seven Shadows.

The Seven Shadows fought against Queen Serenity and the Moon Kingdom until they were defeated and scattered on Earth. They're then reborn as humans who the Dark Kingdom must find and activate. They each carry one of seven Rainbow Crystals, an invention of the '90s anime only, which have a precarious connection to the Serenity line's greatest tool, the Silver Crystal.

The Seven Shadows Were Key Players During the Fall of the...

Invincible Season 3 was not the first time that Steven Yeun and Jeffery Dean Morgan found themselves on opposing sides. The last time these two had a face-off, funnily enough, was also in a show that owed its origins to Robert Kirkman.

Negan (Morgan) and Glenn (Yeun) in The Walking Dead had a brutal encounter where the former crushed the skull of the latter, in what was considered one of the most horrific and shocking deaths of the series. This moment, with an ironic twist, came full circle as Jeffery Dean Morgan’s Conquest made landfall on Earth to fight it out with Steven Yeun’s Invincible.

Claire and Holden shared a martini and some banter on the March 11 episode of The Young and the Restless. In real life, people meet random people every day…and it doesn’t mean anything. In a soap opera, everything means something. So what does Holden mean by being so attentive to Claire? We think we know. And it’s not the obvious!

Love Strikes

The obvious assumption is that Claire (Hayley Erin) and Holden (Nate Owens) are being set up as a new couple. Kyle (Michael Mealor) certainly reacted like he thought it might be a possibility.

Holden was certainly being flirty. Even Claire was being flirty, and she claims to have been so sheltered that she never even saw a James Bond movie. Kyle is the first guy she slept with. So, of course, she thinks she’s in love with him. But Kyle is a whiny, petulant, spoiled child.

Superman director James Gunn took to social media to share a new behind-the-scenes photo of María Gabriela de Faría (Deadly Class) as The Engineer. You can check out the new photo below!

In the caption, Gunn wrote: “Happy Anniversary to the Engineer, created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, who you can see played to sinister perfection by puppy in human form Gaby de Faria in #Superman this July!“

The behind-the-scenes photo isn’t particularly revealing, but it does give us another look at the Engineer’s costume. The location is the same one we saw in the teaser trailer, in which Superman is battling a different black-suited character. Speaking of that teaser, it became the most viewed and talked about trailer in the history of DC of Warner Bros. when it was viewed over 250 million times in the first 24 hours after its release.

When Hope Calls season 2 [Image @greatamericanfamily on Instagram]

It has been a while since When Hope Calls, the sequel to the popular When Calls the Heart, first premiered on Hallmark on Hallmark Movies Now (now Hallmark+) in 2019.

With its change of streaming platform to Great American Family, fans never realized how long it would take for season 2 to arrive.

However, fans can now celebrate as the second season is set to premiere in April 2025. What can fans expect from season 2?

Dragon Balland Hunter X Hunter may both be battle Shonen anime, but they're vastly different in any other way. At their cores, Dragon Ball is an action-comedy that never takes itself too seriously, and features clear good guys & bad guys. Hunter X Hunter is a bleak, depressing, and cerebral story where traditional heroes are nearly non-existent. The difference has never been more prominent than right now, as Dragon Ball Super just concluded its light and breezy High School Saga, while Hunter X Hunter's Succession Contest Arc has abandoned all pretense of being a battle Shonen, and consistently finds new ways to shock fans.

The High School Saga and Succession Contest Arc couldn't be less alike, yet they've coincidentally drawn a parallel between their respective manga. Dragon Ball Super has recently introduced fans to Clean God, a hero with ties to Hunter X Hunter's Phantom Troupe. The Phantom Troupe themselves...

Humanity has been sharing stories about horrific monsters since time immemorial, and some of these tales have become so ingrained in culture that they end up outlasting the societies that created them. That’s why we still see movies based on mythic figures like Hercules and the Minotaur over two thousand years after the end of the Hellenistic period.

And with even Christopher Nolan borrowing from Greek Mythology in his upcoming Odyssey adaptation, we’ve decided to compile a list celebrating six of the scariest depictions of ancient Greek monsters in film. After all, an epic quest is only as thrilling as the strange beasts that our heroes encounter along the way.

In an effort to keep things varied, we’ll only be including one entry per monster. That being said, don’t forget to comment below with your own mythic favorites if you think we missed a particularly spooky example.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 is a well-welcomed one-shot nearly one year after the series' hiatus following the late, great Akira Toriyama's passing. While many fans wanted to see Goku and Vegeta finally face off against Black Frieza, the Dragon Ball Super manga instead focuses on Goten and Trunk's origin stories as Saiyamen X-1 and X-2.

Inspired by the heroic actions of Clean God (a superhero like the Great Saiyaman), Trunks, and Goten become Saiyamen X-1 and X-2, fighting crime and keeping their bodies fit and trained for battle. The reveal of who the heroic Clean God is left many excited and reassured that this Z-Fighter hasn't stopped training, despite what other material may suggest. Gohan's dedication to training is a testament to his character development and his commitment to protecting Earth.

While many fans wanted to see Goku and Vegeta finally face off against Black Frieza, the Dragon Ball Super manga instead puts the focus on Goten and Trunk's origin stories as Saiyamen X-1 and X-2.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 features Trunks visiting a Museum of Earth's Heroes. There, a hall of statues displaying various characters are shown, including familiar faces like Master Roshi's master Mutaito, the Great Saiyaman, Mr. Satan, and even Goku (whose identity remains unknown as he never revealed his identity to the public). Curiously, there's one character that has a blink, and you'll miss it the moment: Olibu, one of the main fighters from Dragon Ball Z...

February is an excellent month for Dragon Ball Super fans, as the manga, which has long been on hiatus, is returning to publication with a brand-new chapter. However, the release date for Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 might suggest a disappointing future for the series.

Nearly a week after the official Dragon Ball website shared the pencil drafts for the new Dragon Ball Super chapter, which will go by the title of Chapter 104, the release date for the new Dragon Ball Super manga collection leaked online. This information was provided in the April 2025 edition of V Jump magazine, whose cover has now been officially revealed. In his standard adult form, Goku takes center stage on the magazine’s cover, while Trunks, Goten and Clean God are shown at the bottom left.

The Dragon Ball Z anime is the main source of the Dragon Ballfranchise's popularity. However, there are many ways in which the original Dragon Ball manga is superior to its animated counterpart. The biggest advantage the manga has over the anime is the legendary artwork of the late Akira Toriyama. The Dragon Ball manga isn't as popular as the iconic Dragon Ball Z anime, but Akira Toriyama's illustrations make it unquestionably the visually superior work.

More so than his writing, Toriyama's varying art styles, superb line-work, and mastery over paneling in action scenes set him apart from every mangaka to come before and after him. The result of Toriyama's artistic genius is a large selection of manga panels with more emotion behind them than the anime could ever muster.

The adventures in Dragon Ball are marked by the advent of many powerful supervillains and Goku’s eventual subjugation of them. Among these antagonists, Majin Buu is one of the fan-favorites despite years having passed since his role in the series. However, Akira Toriyama was not too keen on debuting the character.

The reason behind his motive is more shocking that Majin Buu’s character itself. In an interview, the mangaka revealed that he loved the slice-of-life characteristics of Dragon Ball so much before the advent of Buu that he was least interested in creating another antagonist.

A new 30-second TV spot for James Gunn’s Superman was released yesterday, showing off some fresh footage from the highly anticipated movie. However, the final shot of the teaser has come under fire. In it, Superman does a barrel roll as he avoids some rocks, with the camera focusing on the character’s face as he flies towards us. Some feel that it looks a little “goofy” and have blamed the lack of facial movement on poor VFX, but Gunn has defended the shot on Threads.

“There is absolutely zero CG in his face,” Gunn said. “People’s faces can look different when you put a wide angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real, as is David.“

Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with the shot from the Superman TV spot. A little more expression may have done the trick, but we also don...

Choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett, who taught Kevin Bacon acrobatic dance moves for his starring turn in Footloose and received two Tony nominations for her efforts on Swing!, has died. She was 78.

Taylor-Corbett died Jan. 12 of breast cancer in Rockville Centre, New York, her son, Shaun Taylor-Corbett, told The New York Times.

A onetime dancer with Alvin Ailey’s dance company, Taylor-Corbett also served as a Broadway choreographer for 1981’s Shakespeare’s Cabaret, 1985’s The Boys of Winter, 1988’s Chess, 1994’s Sally Marr … and Her Escorts, 1997-99’s Titanic, 1997-98’s Jackie and 1999-2001’s Swing!, which she also wrote songs for and directed.

With Monster Hunter Wilds releasing in just over a month, there's plenty for long-time fans of the series to be excited about. While Monster Hunter Wilds' roster continues to grow since it was first announced, there's still plenty of room to surprise players with some iconic monsters returning when the game fully releases. Given that only a third of the monsters revealed so far are making their return from previous entries, there are more than a few slots to fill with some fan-favorite monsters.

The second beta test could also be an excellent opportunity for Capcom to introduce a surprise monster for players to encounter, much like how Rey Dau was a secret option to discover in-game. While it's more likely that a new monster will make its way into the second beta as a secret encounter rather than a returning one, it would be a fantastic surprise for long-time fans.

There is perhaps no Dragon Ball character with a worse reputation than Yamcha. One of the most classic characters in the franchise, Yamcha is branded a loser by fans for his perceived weakness, his lack of victories in fights, and his embarrassing personality. While he's by no means one of the series' greatest or strongest heroes, the desert bandit turned Z-Warrior has more going for him than one might think.

Yamcha has been the butt of jokes for decades, but Dragon Ball Z's biggest punchline doesn't deserve the disrespect. He's one of the anime's original main characters, he's immensely powerful, he's indirectly saved both Goku and the world, and he has an all-around impressive life going for him.

The spinoff series When Hope Calls has had a long and complicated path to the small screen, and here's everything to know about the show's season 2 return. Spinning off from the Hallmark Channel series When Calls the Heart, When Hope Calls concerns two sisters living in a Western Canadian town in the 1910s. While trying to rebuild their relationship, the orphaned sisters must also try to build bonds within the rugged frontier city of Brookfield. Rife with soft romance and Hallmark's family-friendly drama, When Hope Calls is the perfect extension of the Janette Oke novels that inspired the franchise.

Season 1 of When Hope Calls was a hit in 2019, and it was renewed for a second season. However, it would be more than two years before season 2 arrived, and a two-part Christmas special set the stage for what was to be the sophomore outing. More than three years have passed...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has successfully adapted the film franchise into game form, receiving plenty of praise for its attention to detail and atmosphere. While there's no official sales information, The Great Circle was already one of the most-played games released in December, only falling just short of the massive release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. While The Great Circle's fantastic visual fidelity and fantastic voice actors are a large part of its success, The Great Circle's immersive Indiana Jones experience is a key selling point.

While The Great Circle isn't the only Indiana Jones game worth playing, it's by far the best of the bunch, benefiting greatly from a mix of classic exploration gameplay combined with modern improvements. Following Indiana Jones on his journey across the globe, they'll learn about his past while forging new connections with interesting characters, providing a standalone adventure worthy of the film franchise.

People like to celebrate the New Year with a bang, something the Peanuts also like to do. Just like Peanuts shows holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas in its comic strips - including some truly classic stories - New Years is also shown annually.

Despite some of these comics being over 60 years old, these New Year's comics remain relatable to readers, whether it be Charlie Brown and Lucy not getting invited to New Year's parties, resolutions, or party fouls. The New Year's comics manage to differ from one another year after year despite the strip's fifty-year duration, while still establishing hilarious running gags. Similar to how Halloween has the running gag of the Great Pumpkin or how winter has the gag of Snoopy being someone's skating partner, Peanuts' New Year's comics have their own share of ongoing jokes.

Nostalgia can often be a double-edged sword for long-running franchises, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle provides a perfect example of how it can be wielded effectively. The most recent entry in the Indiana Jones franchise was the subject of much hype and ballyhoo during its three years in development, and now that the finished product is in players' hands, people have been largely pleased with it. The mass appeal of the game is certainly due in no small part to the recognizable name and image of Dr. Jones himself, as well as the classic movies he's associated with.

For millions of people all over the world, the Indiana Jones movies are the pinnacle of the adventure genre, full of moments that left an indelible mark on the fabric of pop culture. Being able to work with such a recognizable license affords many opportunities to The Great Circle, but...

While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was released too late to be considered for the The Game Awards 2024, the newest entry in the iconic action-adventure franchise is a hit with fans. The Xbox exclusive is the final major release of 2024 and has, so far, lived up to the excitement many had for a major Indiana Jones Aaa video game.

On the gaming subreddit, Redditor goldenboy2191 expressed their amazement at the game and how much fun it has been — even forgetting its title in their excitement. This sparked a conversation between players about what they liked, loved, and disliked about the game. However, most criticisms were presented as quirks that didn't stand in the way of enjoying Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Developed by MachineGames, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the first Indiana Jones game to be released since 2009's Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.

Even though its era of publication has come and gone, Peanuts continues to endear itself to readers decades later. Charles Schulz' characters are as lovable as they've ever been despite the passage of time, which is a true testament to the care that was poured into each comic they star in. Snoopy is among the standouts of the cast, and he earns plenty of laughs in the entries on this list.

These 10 Peanuts comics from November 1994 just celebrated their thirtieth birthday, and each of them is still as hilarious as ever. Some deal with the aftermath of Linus' fruitless search for the Great Pumpkin, while others feature the charming bond shared by Snoopy and Woodstock. Plenty of fan-favorite characters get their moment to shine in these laugh-out-loud comic strips. Without further ado, here are the funniest Peanuts comics that just turned 30.

The new Dcu’s Man of Steel takes flight in the first teaser trailer for Superman, revealed on Thursday morning and embedded above.

Written/directed by DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn and due to swoop into theaters on July 11, 2025, Superman (fka Superman: Legacy) stars David Corenswet (of TV’s The Politician and Lady in the Lake) as the titular Kal-El aka Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent. Emmy winner Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) plays intrepid Daily Planet journo Lois Lane, while Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones) fills the role of Jimmy Olsen and Wendell Pierce (Elsbeth) plays boss man Perry White.

This article contains spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is full of J.R.R. Tolkien Easter eggs. The movie, released in December 2024, is based on "The House of Eorl," a short story in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings. It does not follow its source material to the letter but does drop intriguing references to the rest of The Lord of the Rings and the wider legendarium. The movie enjoys referring to Peter Jackson's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies with smart callbacks, making its deep myth and legend known.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim movie is directed by anime legend Kenji Kamiyama, who also worked on Ghost in the Shell. It was about time Tolkien's high fantasy masterpiece was united with Japan's ancient animated art form.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has done a fantastic job of replicating the spirit of the movies in video game form, receiving acclaim from fans and critics alike.

With Harrison Ford’s portrayal of the iconic archaeologist definitively concluded, is Indy’s story officially over? Not necessarily. With the release and positive reception of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, the video game industry might be the next frontier for our favorite archaeologist’s stories.

Dial of Destiny was a bittersweet farewell to Harrison Ford as the iconic archaeologist. Director James Mangold recently talked to Deadline about how audiences were hesitant to embrace an older version of the character.

Dragon Ball Daima's first nine episodes have been a rollercoaster ride, introducing fans to a whole new side of the Dragon Ball universe while bringing back many elements from the original Dragon Ball and the early days of Dragon Ball Z. While fans predicted some of these returns before the show started to air, the ninth episode of Dragon Ball Daima featured a return that no one saw coming, the reintroduction of the Saibamen, Dragon Ball Z's weakest and most forgotten villains.

In the episode's final act, viewers return to Dr. Arinsu and Great Witch Marba. The pair are standing near the cauldron Arinsu added Buu's essence to during the last episode. After Arinsu notes that the green bubbling mixture "looks ready," Marba tips a green seed out of a jar. As she does, she mumbles, "Oh dear," before adding, "I used to have enough Saibamen seeds I could sell them to outsiders,...

Earlier this year, James Gunn suggested that Superman wouldn’t need any reshoots, but it appears the cameras will be rolling once again. THR’s Heat Vision Newsletter states that “the movie will be doing a few days of additional shooting in Los Angeles in the near term” after recent test screenings.

For a film as big as Superman, a few extra days of reshoots are pretty minor, unlike some other comic-book movies I could mention. When Gunn was asked about possible Superman reshoots this summer, he said he’s “done a total of one day of reshoots on my past two films combined.“

I’m looking forward to seeing more from the film; hopefully, we may even see the first teaser trailer by the end of the year.

Two Point Museum is the third title coming from Sega's Two Point Studios, following Two Point Campus and Two Point Hospital. The chaotic and whimsical games are best known for their humor while providing players with a relaxed and cheerful take on the management sim genre. In Two Point Museum, players will find themselves taking on the role of an aspiring curator who is running not just one museum, but several, while also sending out teams to find exhibits to display and managing staff and guest expectations.

Screen Rant's hands-on preview of Two Point Museum found that the game "retains a lot of the core traits that made other Two Point titles so beloved while simultaneously iterating on ideas in interesting ways." Although Campus was met with some mixed receptions, developers seem to have taken feedback from that game to make Two Point Museum something that will work for everyone.

Introduced in the very first arc of Dragon Ball, the Great Ape is an iconic transformation that turns a Saiyan into a giant monkey-like creature when in the presence of a full moon. Turning into a Great Ape increases the Saiyan's already formidable strength by 10. Using this form, the Saiyans could vanquish and take over many planets in the galaxy.

Series creator Akira Toriyama created the Great Ape to further parody the monkey-king Sun Wukong that served as Goku's transformation. While at first, the form was exclusive to Goku and made him more like a werewolf-like character, the form soon became a staple of Saiyan's biology. However, after the Saiyan Saga, the Great Ape transformation became far rarer because of Saiyans losing their tails.

The power of The Lord of the Rings as a story is heavily tied up in the concepts of fate and free will, prompting the question of whether anyone is actually responsible for their actions. The story is hung on the tension between a supportive goodness that sometimes seems inherent in Middle-earth and the danger, uncertainty, and seeming hopelessness of the road ahead. This tension creates the drama and suspense that makes the story tragic and sets up what Tolkien coined as eucatastrophe - the last-minute aversion of an apparently inevitable catastrophe. Eucatastrophe hit as the Great Eagles arrived, out of the blue, to rescue Frodo and Sam from the slopes of Mordor's Mount Doom.

If it was always clear to readers that all disasters in the story were meant to happen and were somehow ultimately good, while major travesties weren't possible due to a divine plan, some of the...

The Simpsons is one of the most recognizable TV shows in the world, causing billions of viewers to fall in love with this absurd yellow family. With 36 seasons under its belt, this show has managed to stand the test of time and still manages to display an accurate portrayal of modern family life. As such, it's clear that this animated powerhouse has inspired many other shows to follow in its footsteps.

Though this sitcom now stands at the forefront of modern comedy, it started off as a humble segment on The Tracey Ullman Show. Packed full of other variety acts, it seemed strange that this show would go on to be such a success. Yet, some fans believe that the Tracey Ullman shorts show The Simpsons at their best.

The world of The Lord of the Rings features some of the most interesting characters in both cinematic and literary history. Frodo is one of the most iconic heroes of all time, and his legacy was only further secured by Elijah Wood's masterful portrayal of him in Peter Jackson's films. Viggo Mortensen's take on Aragorn has the world convinced that the casting directors managed to pull him directly from the pages of the book.

However, for every remarkable figure who made it to the screen, there are countless who were lost in the journey from page to screen. After all, Tolkien's legendarium is so vast that there are so many stories that might forever go untold. One of those features one of the greatest archers to ever walk through Middle-earth.

Peanuts has a tried and true Halloween tradition with its comic strips and animated special about the Great Pumpkin, which comes with the other Halloween tradition of Linus being disappointed about the Great Pumpkin's no-show every single year. The Great Pumpkin debuted in October 1959, and not one year since its inception has it appeared to Linus by the time the strip came to its end in 2000.

Linus tends to not take the lack of appearance from his mythological gourd well at all, and he is usually mired in disappointment and, eventually, anger and sadness. Linus has come close to completely giving up hope and belief in the Great Pumpkin. However, he cannot ever seem to just give up once and for all and always ends up believing again. While Linus may have never been able to enjoy a fun night of trick or treating, his way of celebrating Halloween is good enough for him.
