Dragon Ball, and the follow-up Dragon Ball Z, are two of the most popular anime of all-time, having reached Western audiences and worldwide appeal. The shows ran years ago, but still have new material coming out today, like the feature film Dragon Ball Super: Broly, that just released in 2018. With mass appeal comes an influx of fan-art. There have been hundreds of thousands of pieces of art to circulate based on the shows and with numbers like that, many are bound to be hilarious....

Spider-Man has come home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we’ve finally got our first look at him in the second full trailer for Captain America: Civil War. A cursory glance seems to have been met with approval from fans. But there are loads of little details that could easily be missed unless you take a closer look. A much closer look. We noticed ten particulars that speak volumes about Marvel’s take on a cinematic Spider-Man....

We’ve followed mild-mannered Elliot Anderson (Rami Malek) since he’s worked for cybersecurity firm Allsafe, since he discovered the presence of hacktivist group F-Society, and since he made startling discoveries about his family’s past that drove him deeper into the clandestine world of hacking. The world Elliot and the other members of F-Society inhabit is a world that exists on the other side of our laptops, tablets, and smart devices. With a single keystroke, hackers can use their knowledge and power over intricate security systems, operating systems, and software for good or for nefarious ends....

For many, the WWE is the highest form of art. It features showmanship, athleticism, and a whole lot of drama. The drama, in particular, is what pulls us in and keeps us invested in the carnage – especially the weird and wonderful characters on display. Of course there are superstars who possess the personality of a pet rock, but there are also those who have the gift to make us love or hate them passionately – regardless of who they are in their personal lives....

Despite decades of demeaning jokes about the hero, Aquaman, a.k.a. Arthur Curry, stands as one of the most iconic heroes in the DC universe, even if it’s not always for the right reasons. While many viewers know Aquaman from his Super Friends days, he also makes many other appearances in comics and animated movies and TV series. Thanks to the amazing writers over at DC, Aquaman has even been “rebooted” into one of the most badass characters the comics giant has at their disposal....

Casting can make or break a young adult or YA franchise. With so many adaptations following a similar premise – usually a group of hormonal, diverse teenagers banding together to fight an oppressive government or supernatural evil – the interest lies not within the plot, but in who the studio casts as supporting characters to surround their primary cast of newcomers. Harry Potter, for instance, perfected this, filling Hogwarts’ walls with British thespians to balance the shaky, earlier performances of Daniel Radcliffe and co....

When it comes to video games, challenging the boss found at the end of each stage is what every gamer strives for. Whether it is part of regular gameplay or discovering a secret boss, there is no greater thrill worthy of testing one’s skills as a gamer. Some bosses are made so powerful and near godlike that even expert players are left pulling their hair out of frustration. In these cases, these types of bosses require players to come up with complex strategies to beat them....

Marvel Studios has unfailingly managed to entertain us comic nerds with blockbuster after blockbuster of a superhero film – from 2008’s Iron Man to this year’s controversial Infinity War. Each movie expands on the Marvel world with the introduction of exciting new characters – whether they’re floating psychedelic head named Dormammu or a ragtag group of anti-heroes known as the Guardians of the Galaxy. What keeps us on the edge of our seats with each film is the universe that entwines all of them together – widely known among Marvel fans as the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

When you think of intimidating comic book villains, Harley Quinn probably isn’t someone that springs to mind. She doesn’t have super strength, super speed, enhanced ability to regenerate from wounds, the ability to fly, or really anything else that separates her from an ordinary human. Sure, the Joker doesn’t typically have super powers either, but his insanity makes him so violent, unpredictable, and cunning that his mind is as dangerous as a superpower in its own right....

If you’re a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and come on, you’ve got to be), there’s probably a lot you already know about her. You know that she’s the Chosen One; the Slayer. You know that two actresses have played her: Kristy Swanson in the movie and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the TV series. You know she lives in Sunnydale, California, on the Hellmouth, with a sister who magically appeared out of nowhere....

While many people may say they would love to be in a relationship with a famous movie or television star, those same people would likely admit that they wouldn’t be fond of their famous partner having to kiss or do steamy scenes with others for the world to see. Yet that is exactly the life that the partners of many television stars choose to live. While there are certainly some people who are fine with their TV-star significant other smooching or sharing romantic scenes with their co-stars, other have a tougher time with it....

When one thinks of the Dragon Ball franchise, the first thing that comes to mind, aside from intense bouts of screaming, extended power-ups, enormous energy beams erupting from people’s hands, claims of “five minutes” lasting well over an hour, or people turning into apes, is hardcore martial arts action. The last thing that comes to mind would be romance in any shape or form. This isn’t to say that romance hasn’t been featured in the multiple series in some capacity, however minor, with Goku and Chi-Chi, Trunks and Mai, Vegeta and Bulma, and Gohan and Videl, along with others, it’s simply never been a focus, and certainly has never been fleshed out....

Before all else, the movie business is just that: a business. Hollywood has spent over a century trying to figure out the best way to lure people into movie theaters, and given the amount of money it’s generated, it has done a fairly good job. But a lucrative movie is not the same thing as a good one. Some of the most influential, memorable films of all time have been minor successes (or even failures) at the box office....

The 2019 Pokémon VGC rules were first revealed in August 2018, and they promised a shifting format that would take three different forms, starting in September 2018 and running through till August 2019. The new VGC rules are split into three different series, the Sun series, which started in September and will end in January, the Moon series, which will run from January till April, and the Ultra series, which will run from April to August...

For Star Wars fans across the galaxy, the anticipation for any news related to Episode IX has been off the charts. So far, Lucasfilm has officially confirmed that the upcoming film will be the final installment of the Skywalker saga and is slated to take place a year after the events in The Last Jedi. Up next, the Mouse House has been hard at work with a new addition to Disneyland (summer 2019) and Disney World (fall 2019)....

A few failed subplots are a given on any big television series that spans many seasons. The Vampire Diaries especially has so many weaving storylines and characters that it’s natural to have weaker parts dotting the plot. There were many aspects of the show that needed to be expanded upon to get us invested in them, and other storylines that weren’t necessary at all. With so many supernatural talents and mystical elements, sometimes the writers seemingly got carried away and ended up in narrative cul-de-sac....

While it suffered a slow, wobbly start, with its delay due to the 2008 writer’s strike and its disconnected, messy first few episodes, NBC’s Grimm quickly picked up the pace and took off only like many great series with shaky pilots have done, earning it a devout fan following and a reputation as one of the best fantasy shows on television. Once we got past the initial exposition and a bit of confusion, Nick Burkhardt found his footing and impressed us by balancing his role as a Grimm and a cop who had to toe the line between the law and the monster....

When it comes to horror movies, everybody has something different that scares them. Maybe that something is evil dolls, ghosts, or even possessed children. There are already decades worth of horror movie, but filmmakers continue to pump out flicks that make people’s spines tingle. Even though people are scared by different elements in horror movies, many people agree that The Exorcist is one of the scariest movies ever made. The Exorcist focuses on a girl named Regan MacNeil who is possessed by a demon and whose only hope is in the hands of an exorcist and a priest....
