It's safe to say that Daredevil: Born Again is one of the biggest shows of 2025. Sure, the year hasn't long-started, but we're pretty sure we'll still be able to say that sentence come the end of the year. The Disney Plus series has acted as a revival of Netflix's Daredevil, catching us up with the main characters six years later, all while introducing some new ones and officially canonizing the events of that show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And that's before you take into account what goes down in it and the game-changing storylines it has tackled.

The MCU show is now halfway through its first season and it doesn't look like it plans on slowing down (the good news is that it won't have to as a second season is already filming). But among all the crime-fighting, campaigning, and chaos that is going down in the show,...

When it comes to impossible feats of strength, the only limit that exists for anime characters is their creators’ imagination. From summoning ancient monsters to mastering the power of every element to obliterating entire planets with a single spell or move, unbelievable supernatural abilities know no bounds in anime, their uniqueness and scope being what draws many fans to the medium.

However, some of anime’s strongest characters, surprisingly enough, don’t have to rely on the aid of magic or paranormal enhancements to achieve superhuman triumphs. While still way stronger than your average human - sometimes, to the point of far surpassing realistic human abilities — these anime characters have nothing supernatural about them.

Beijing born Hu Jin Quan, better known as King Hu, worked as an actor, scriptwriter, set decorator and assistant director after joining the Shaw Brothers Studio in 1958. Hu slowly worked his way up as the director of “Sons of the Good Earth” (1965) under the influence of director Li Han Hsiang. Besides launching the film career of its star Cheng Pei Pei, Hu’s highly acclaimed wuxia film “Come Drink with Me” (1966) would put him on the world map. After leaving Shaw, he directed “Dragon Inn” (1967) in Taiwan which became a phenomenal cult classic in Southeast Asia.

Hu continued to achieve more fame with films like “A Touch of Zen” (1971), “The Valiant Ones” (1975), “Raining in the Mountain” and “Legend of the Mountain” both in 1979.

There's no doubt that One Piece has some of the best character designs in shōnen, and among the many pirates, Chopper has had the biggest number of designs and emblematic transformations throughout the series. This reflects the nature of Chopper’s zoan-type Hito Hito devil fruit, where he develops new forms when trying to reach a bigger strength.

Chopper had several modifications from his initial concept art that shared hardly any resemblance to the cute little character later redesigned by the author Eiichiro Oda due to his stylistic drawing changes during the years. This way, either achieving them artificially thanks to the use of his Rumble balls or thanks to arduous training, each of Chopper's transformations is iconic. However, Chopper’s many forms and designs make it easy for fans to mix them up or miss some of their key details.

Ever since Roronoa Zoro’s character was introduced in One Piece, he has been working hard towards his goal of becoming the Strongest Swordsman in the world. He has trained and fought with some of the greatest swordsmen in the world, including Dracule Mihawk, who is the current holder of the Strongest Swordsman title.

As fans know, Zoro’s reason behind pursuing his dream so relentlessly is the promise that he made to his cousin and his first friend, Kuina. Kuina had a natural talent for swordsmanship, and she was one of the few characters who could beat Zoro. However, she didn’t have any confidence in herself because she was forced to believe that women could never become swordsmen in One Piece.

After her death, Zoro vowed to follow their combined dream and hasn’t stopped since. But once he does...

The swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, Roronoa Zoro, has been on his journey to become the Strongest Swordsman in the One Piece world. Ever since he was a child, he has dreamed of earning the title, and while he has changed his focus on the goals of his captain, Monkey D. Luffy, he has also been working on his personal aim in the background.

For Zoro to achieve his goal, he will have to defeat Dracule Mihawk, who is the current strongest swordsman in the One Piece world. Considering Mihawk’s strength and swordsman skills, Zoro’s journey is still quite long, and while he works towards his goal, fans have been wondering what will happen when he becomes the strongest swordsman in One Piece.

These questions have led to the development of multiple theories about how Zoro’s goal would...

Stylish sword-fighting actions scenes and lush production values populate the trailer for “The Swordsman” starring Jang Hyuk, which also sees Indonesian action star Joe Taslim make his first appearance in a Korean film.

Synopsis

After the dethronement of Gwanghaegun, the country’s best swordsman Tae-yool vanishes. Joseon itself is in chaos due to the conflict between Qing and Ming Dynasty. Gurutai is a member of the imperial family of Qing. He makes unreasonable demands upon Joseon. Under this situation, Tae-yool’s daughter Tae-ok is taken by Gurutai’s subordinates. Tae-yool picks up his sword again to save his daughter.

Jang Hyuk (“The Flu”) stars as Tae-yool while Joe Taslim (“The Night Comes for Us”) takes up the role of Gurutai. Accompanying them are Kim Hyun-soo (“Silenced”) and Jung Man-sik (“Beasts Clawing at Straws”). It is pencilled in for a September 23rd, 2020 release in South Korea.

Sci-fi adventure Space Sweepers, Disney’s Mulan and Marvel title The New Mutants have all been pushed back.

South Korea’s recent spike in Covid-19 cases has led to distributors pushing back the release dates of films such as the much-anticipated sci-fi adventure Space Sweepers, starring Song Joong-ki and Kim Tae-ri; Disney’s live-action Mulan; and Marvel superhero film The New Mutants.

Local distributor Merry Christmas and production company Bidangil Pictures announced that Space Sweepers, directed by Jo Sung-hee, has been “temporarily” postponed from its originally scheduled date of September 23. They did not give a new date but expressed hope...
