There are a few shows or movies that set a standard and a template for a whole genre. HBO’s 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers not only did that for war dramas but also launched and boosted many acting careers. The series, created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, presented real-life events of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division throughout World War II.

The ensemble cast of Band of Brothers is one of the main reasons people still remember the show. Apart from playing the roles of soldiers, actors like Scott Grimes as Donald Malarkey, Kirk Acevedo as Joe Toye, and Damian Lewis as Richard Winters made the audience empathize with their losses and wins and connect with their camaraderie. Now, after more than two decades since its premiere, let’s catch up with some of these talented cast members and see what they are up to.

The animated world of Avatar: The Last Airbenderand The Legend of Korra features the awesome power of the Avatar state as the ultimate expression of elemental bending and spiritual power. Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra were often seen going into the Avatar State either by instinct or on purpose, and the power of the Avatar State could usually save the day. Interestingly, however, the Avatar State was often as terrifying as it was heroic.

Each Avatar, from Wan to Korra, bore an immense responsibility to use the Avatar State wisely and not abuse it, and most of all, the Avatar is most vunerable while using the Avatar State's powers. It is often scary when Aang or Korra use the power of the Avatar State, since each of them almost ended the Avatar Cycle by accident while in that mode. In other cases, Aang and Korra were scary because of what...

Nickelodeon's hit cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender had some iconic moments during its three-season run that defined the show. Avatar: The Last Airbender is not just another kids' cartoon of the 2000s; it has expanded into a large franchise that includes a spinoff, The Legend of Korra, multiple novels, and comics that take place after Avatar: The Last Airbender ends. The show that started it all is so widely beloved because of how The Last Airbender transformed poignant themes about friendship, war, and colonialism into a show for children that resonates with them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender's likable cast of characters is another reason the show is beloved. Zuko has one of the best redemption arcs on television, while Katara's strength and Aang's perseverance also inspire viewers. Avatar: The Last Airbender also has many iconic moments, including Mai standing up to Azula with "You miscalculated; I love...

The incredible adventure of Avatar: The Last Airbender illustrates Aang's coming-of-age journey to master the power of the four natural elements through bending. The Avatar holds the traditional honor of maintaining the balance between the world's four nations, historically defining the role as that of a warrior and protector of humanity. Aang fulfills the destiny of his role by traveling the world to master the four elements, and he meets numerous other benders that showcase the power of talented bending at its finest.

The best fight sequences in Book One: Water of Avatar: The Last Airbender stand out because of their choreography, battle stakes, sentimental weight, and much more. Although many of the most important fights this early in the series feature Aang, plenty of other characters deliver memorable bending performances in their fights. Several characters participate in excellent fights in the first book of the series, further developing the...

Six new images from the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender show the reimagined versions of familiar characters. The images provide a detailed look at characters like Aang, Suki, June, Gran Gran, The Mechanist, Jet, and Yukari. The upcoming Netflix show follows Aang, the Avatar, who must bring peace to a world under siege by the Fire Nation.

Six new Avatar: The Last Airbender images reveal the show's live-action take on a variety of familiar faces. The upcoming Netflix show is a reimagining of the iconic animated Nickelodeon show of the same name. It follows airbender Aang (Gordon Cormier), waterbender Katara (Kiawentiio), and Katara's brother Sokka (Ian Ousley) in a world where many people have the ability to "bend" one of the elements: fire, water, earth, or air. Aang is the Avatar, a reincarnated being who can bend all four elements and must bring peace to the world, which is under siege by the Fire Nation.

Pusha T made a surprise appearance at Phoenix’s set at Paris’ We Love Green festival on Saturday, June 3, to debut a new verse to “All Eyes on Me,” a track off last year’s Alpha Zulu.

The special cameo came at the end of a Phoenix medley that interpolated “If I Ever Feel Better” and the part “Funky Squaredance” that’s reminiscent of the crushing chord progression from Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar.” From there, the band transitioned into “All Eyes on Me,” and Pusha T took the stage.

General Iroh had a far stronger connection to the spirit world than most of the other characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the series leaves many of the details around this unclear. The physical world and the spirit world often overlap and influence one another in the show, with the Avatar often stepping in to restore the balance between them. Most of the characters have stopped taking the spirits seriously in the century since the Avatar’s disappearance, but Iroh remains extremely devout.

Though he doesn’t have the power to influence the spirits the same way the Avatar does, Iroh is so in tune with them that it sets him apart from his peers. General Zhao’s mistreatment of the moon spirit causes Iroh to show real anger for the first time in the series, leading him to turn on the Fire Nation in order to help Yue save the moon spirit.

Just when you thought you’d be in serious Wicca withdrawal all winter long, Netflix has some “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” news that is sure to brighten your Winter Solstice: a two-season renewal.

Less than a week after dropping that surprise holiday special, the streamer has ordered 16 additional episodes of its Kiernan Shipka-led dark take on the Archie Comics teen witch, which will begin production in 2019 and launch in two batches, Parts 3 and 4. No word yet on when the new installments will drop or how the sixteen episodes will be divided among the two parts.

And yes, TheWrap has confirmed Netflix is going with “parts” instead of “seasons” when it comes to “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” As all you witches know, Part 1 debuted back in October and Part 2 received an April 5, 2019 launch date last month.
