Netflix Terminator Zero Reveals Franchise’s Glorious Return, See The Proof

By Christopher Isaac | Published 19 seconds ago The Terminator franchise almost immediately grew into a classic for the sci-fi and action genres when the first movie debuted in 1984. The second movie, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, is arguably the pinnacle of the franchise, with many considering it even better than the first. The franchise has struggled to consistently recapture that magic since then, but now it is returning in an exciting new way with the anime Terminator Zero. This is the first time that Terminator has been adapted into an anime, and it is also one of the rare occasions that it is a series rather than a movie. Many fans enjoyed 2008’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so it is surprising it has taken so long for the franchise to take another crack at producing s...

The 90s Adult Comedy Series Being Left Behind

Mission Hill follows 24-year-old retail employee Andy French (Wallace Langham) whose life dramatically changes when he takes in his 17-year-old brother Kevin (Scott Menville) when their parents pick up and move to Wyoming. The two brothers live with Andy’s roommates Jim Kuback (Brian Posehn) and Posey Tyler (Vicki Lewis) in the city’s neighborhood that bears the name of the show. Andy’s slacker nature counters the enthusiasm and nerdish qualities of his younger brother. Kevin is socially awkward, sheltered, and a certified genius. The two continually butt heads episode after episode, with asides from the stoic Jim and the pseudo-hippie Posey’s musings often helping to resolve their issues. Source link

Star Trek: Voyager Secretly Demotes Fan-Favorite Character?

For this tale about Tuvok’s seeming demotion to make sense, we need to first recap this particular episode. “Prime Factors” takes place in Season 1, when Voyager’s plight–being stuck over 70,000 lightyears from home–was fresh on the crew’s minds. That’s why everyone gets excited to meet the Sikarians, aliens with exotic technology that lets them instantaneously transport themselves 40,000 lightyears away. Needless to say, Janeway and the rest of the command crew are very interested in obtaining this technology and using it to get them closer to home. They quickly run into a problem, though: the planet’s laws forbid them from sharing their technology with outsiders. Janeway tries to negotiate a trade with the government, but someone on the planet offers a far less official exchange. Sou...

The Fantasy Slice-of-Life Anime On Crunchyroll You Need To Watch

The show is cute and simple, making it the perfect slice-of-life to watch if that’s what you want. Mr. Villain’s Day Off isn’t a show for everyone, as it comes across as rather slow for those wanting a more action-heavy story. On My Anime List, the show has a 7.26 out of 10 for its average viewer score. Personally, I would have to say Mr. Villain’s Day Off was an alright anime. It was cute and had some interesting parts, but it didn’t do anything to make it stand out to me, even as a slice-of-life. Source link

Anime Fans Stoked Dark Comedy Fantasy Series Getting New Seasons After Long Hiatus

By Nina Phillips | Published 20 seconds ago For fans of Black Butler, 2024 was a great year. Not only was there a new season of the anime released after 10 years, but the manga also provided a pretty amazing storyline. The good news isn’t over yet, though, with Crunchyroll and CloverWorks announcing that yet another arc of the anime is set to come sometime in 2025 and will be known as the “Emerald Witch” arc.

During a panel for the Black Butler “Public School” arc at Anime Expo, it was revealed that another season is set to come out in 2025. This will be the “Emerald Witch” arc and will be available on Crunchyroll when it comes out. ...

Netflix Fantasy Reboot Of 80s Classic Series Is Better Than The Original

When it comes to the ’80s/’90s cartoons that my generation grew up with, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Many of the shows Gen-X/Millennials grew up with were nothing more than toy commercials thinly disguised as male power fantasies. Some shows, like He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, didn’t bother with the disguise. Don’t get me wrong, it was still a male power fantasy, but the show made no bones about being a platform for Mattel to hawk its cheap plastic figurines. She-Ra, a spinoff of He-Man, was no different, which is why the Netflix reboot was such a breath of fresh air. The creator, Nate Stevenson, took the original, which was ostensibly an attempt to get girls to buy action figures, and turned it into an empowering adventure tale aimed at all genders and ages. The ne...

The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Was Doomed From The First Scene

On paper, this first scene in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy has most of the elements fans have come to expect from this franchise: a lot of action, a little humor, and a high-stakes struggle between a handful of rebels and a powerful galactic empire. Why, then, do we say this scene is proof that the franchise was doomed? For one thing, the man that Poe is speaking to is never identified onscreen, something made that much more confusing by his acting like an old family friend while talking to Kylo. Sure, it’s always good to see Max von Sydow onscreen, but this scene introduces a frequent Sequel Trilogy problem: empty dialogue meant to sound mysterious and new characters shoehorned in without any explanation. Yes, this character (Lor San Tekka, if you’re curious) gets fleshed out in later boo...
