Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman reports that a new movie is in early development at Paramount. Another source, @Jinsakuu, indicates that it will be a complete reboot, unrelated to the previous Netflix project in any way. The Power Rangers film franchise attempted a revival in 2017, but that vision did not succeed. Shortly thereafter, Hasbro partnered with Netflix and Paramount to create a Power Rangers cinematic universe involving both TV and film, but nothing materialized from that effort. While no story details are available, Power Rangers fans know what to expect. Hopefully, this time the studios will engage a strong creative team that understands how to handle the franchise. A Power Rangers film franchise has the potential to be massive, but the studio must capture the tone and spirit of the classic action-adventure series and craft a story that resonates with fans and audiences alike.

Seasons - 2 Genre - Sports Episodes - 24 Rating - 8.2 In one word - Striker Available on Crunchyroll (Season 1,2) Available on Netflix (Season 1) In episode 12 of Season 2 of Blue Lock, Barou showcases an incredible goal that truly exemplifies his skill and determination. The build-up to the goal is intense, demonstrating his ability to read the game and position himself perfectly. When he receives the ball, his ego drives through, and he executes a brilliant shot with precision. The fluidity of his movement and the way he navigates through defenders highlight his amazing weapon. Although Blue Lock is amazing, fans may see a potential drop off in the quality of animation compared so season 1, even so there is no reason for alarm. On the other hand, Season 1's art and animation was often compared to the art of the manga, and some fans identify a glaring gap with the manga on a prestigious pedestal. Is it possible that Blue Lock's orginal art might be challenging to adapt while still mainatining the unique nuances? Conclusion Overall, this Blue Lock episode was fantastic.

The 'TEEN TITANS' movie is reportedly going with the line up from the animated series (Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg). The live-action movie will reportedly begin filming in late 2025 and will be part of James Gunns DCU.

(Christopher Reeves to current) Christopher Reeves - The Hope 1978 - 1987 This legend is arguably the most iconic Superman of all time. His superman glistens with optimism and positive energy.  Reeve’s played an excellent Clark Kent. If you look closely at his version of the reporter, you wouldn’t find a hulking man-mountain underneath the classes and tie. You would find a very clumsy, bumbling and mild mannered man (the perfect disguise).  Best; Legacy Music   Dean Cain - The Clark/The Reporter  1993 - 1997  Dean Cain starred in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. What stood out to me was not his Superman, but his Clark Kent. When I think about his show, I remember interesting episodes that required a lot Clark Kent footwork. I really enjoyed the small ways he used his powers during his investigations and in his day-to-day life. It made us Animenians wonder - How would you use your superpowers at work?  Cain gave us a great look into Superman’s life as a reporter and though I don’t remember many of his villains, I definitely remember his Clark’s investigative reporting.  Dean Cain, your friendly neighborhood Superman.  Best : Investigative Reporter lifestyle Tom Welling - The Brave/The Farmboy 2001 - 2011 Tom Welling’s Smallville may be the most beloved Superman live-action content beside Christopher Reeves' Superman.  We have titled this Superman as ‘The Brave’. This is our choice because most of Smallville was focused on the teenage years of Clark Kent, and as a young man he faced endless challenges even before donning the cape and boots. It was inspiring to see a teenager accept the truth about himself and confront endless adversaires. The back drop of Smallville brings the countryside vybz to the screen. Tom Welling embodies the farmboy energy really well. Out of all the Superman actors, he felt like a genuine countryside fellow that appreciated the simple things in life. It was also interesting to see how his feelings developed from Lana Lang to Lois Lane to give us the legendary duo. Best: Opening theme (somebody saaaaaaaaveee meeee....) Lex Villans Stories Supporting Heroes (other than Henry Cavill) Brandon Routh - The Dead Plant/The Art 2006 - 2019 Brandon's Superman may have the smallest reputation on the list so it might be easier to look at his Superman turned out this way: Weaknesses Superman Returns was written to be a sequel to Reeves's Superman IV, detailing his return from deep space and the continuation of his adventures on Earth. I believe this limited the the grandure of the film as it was set in a Christopher Reeve's time period which was basically old-school. It almost looks and feels like a Film Noir. The lack of physical challenges for Routh's Superman contributed to a film not being a big enough spectacle even though the technical capabilites were there in 2006. Strengths I think Brandon Routh has the best flight scenes of all time. Great Suit Aesthetically, Superman Returns in crisp and beatuful. Colour tone wise, it may be a mix of Zak Snyder's DC and the (anticipated) brighter look of James Gunn DC. Best; - Flight scenes Henry Cavill - The Bold / The Alien 2013 - 2022 Henry Cavill descended from the stars to give us the most recent era of Superman. After years of Superman content to learn from, his superman was well-rounded as Clark and Supes. He did not have the same aura of hope as his predecessors and this brings us to the reason why - The Alien (the other title we have bestowed). Henry's Superman was set in a real-world Earth and Superman's appearances felt like something from a Sci-Fi epic. This does not take away from Cavill's Superman at all and infact makes his iteration more unique as a true alien. I could see him being called Kal-El all throught his time as the man in Blue. The Bold is the other title we (The Animenains) chose because something about him felt like he was feeling himself post Man of Steel. He had an aura of supreme confidence anytime he appeared as superman. Reember that Steppenwolf moment? "Not impressed smh." Best: Action scenes Suit Justice League Tyler Hoechlin - The Man 2016 - 2024 Tyler Hoechlin's Superman had the most unique personal setting compared to all his predecessors. His story is set after the golden years of Superman and Lois and they are well known across the world as famous reporters. They now even have teenage sons and have moved back to Smallville. We gave this Superman the title 'The Man' because he gave the most outside of the suit. He was nuturing father, a loving husband and a loyal friend. He gives considerable depth to Superman, who we often regard as unfallable. He may be the most humble and nerdy Superman of all time, his interactions with people bring out his humanity. David Conrenswet - The New 2025 - onwards From interviews with James Gunn, I expect the hope of Reeves', the Clark of Tyler Hoechil and the The Bold of Henry Cavill.

Picture a scenario where Ninjas are a recognized branch of the Japanese government, akin to the CIA in the US or MI6 in the UK. In this context, the Ninja might be a withering organization, yet they continue to be respected worldwide.  The MC and Key Characters The anime centers around Kuro Kumogakure, a young Shinoi on a mission that appears minor but has significant consequences for Ninja, Japan, and the world. Kuro is a laid-back character who will surprise you with various facets of his personality. He can be dangerous, funny, and compassionate all within a single episode.

Episodes - 8 Genre - Thriller, Drama Rating - 7.9/10 In one word - Gripping Themes A compelling story of a black man in the spotlight whose life spirals downward after being in the wrong place at the wrong time. As his fortune dwindles and his situation worsens, we witness his rapid descent from having everything to losing it all within days. Despite his innocence, he sees his world crumble, affecting others and leaving him with a sense of guilt. This show also highlighted the importance of a black man's mental health, as I deeply empathized with the main character's struggles and felt powerless. As his circumstances deteriorate, he perseveres, demonstrating the resilience of men who continue to push forward even in the darkest times because they have no other choice.   Insight The only downside I see with the show is its title. With just one episode remaining, I hope the name will somehow connect everything in the end. Right now, it feels like just another Netflix thriller. Given the storyline, I believe they could have chosen a more fitting name, as the current one seems too generic. If you've watched the show, here are some alternative titles I came up with that I think would suit it better:   - Wrong place wrong time - Sudden Endeavours - Framed - Supremacy (this is my favourite one) - 180 Degrees   Final Thoughts I really enjoy the acting of the main character, Colman Domingo, and I’d love to see him in more projects, especially in roles where he plays a more streetwise character. The storyline is captivating, and each episode leaves you wanting more. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series, and my opinion on whether there should be a season 2 will depend on how it ends, regardless of the outcome. I’m eager to watch the last episode and will return with another review to share my thoughts on the ending.

Chapters - 162 Genre - Shonen, Comedy  Rating - 7.5  Vybz Themes Imagine - Harry Potter, Black Clover, One Punch Man and a soundtrack full of 808 beats (in the anime) all combined to make one manga. I would call this one an action-comedy. Heavy on the action and heavy on the comedy. Gym-goers should definitely pick this one up or download asap. Series Overview   This isn’t one of those 300+ chaptered manga that run for almost a decade with new villains and sagas every season. Mashle is a bingable 162 chapters and you will definitely feel satisfied upon completion. You won’t be left asking for a different ending or looking for answers to unanswered questions.  The MC & Other Key Characters  Mash Burnedead is an extremely likable m.c. His genuineness has a warm appeal and he can most definitely scrap like no other. Mashle will get stronger through the series but he certainly does not start off as an Osamu (World Trigger) or Deku (MHA). He can hold his own from chapter 1. Mash’s adversaries are entertaining. They are also built for the villain life and will entertain you with their exploits.  Pacing  The pacing of the manga is excellent. You go through intense battles, slice-of-life and training arcs.  The series climaxes at a point when you still retain a lot of enthusiasm as a reader. The stakes are global and at the same time you will be treated with magic, muscles and hilarious comedy. Mashle is most definitely a child of this generation. It has references to modern-day culture and the anime’s music is a vybz. It’s been a while since any manga or anime made me ‘Lol’ and Mashle has fantastic humour in every chapter. Art & Animation The manga has great detail and the character designs are pleasure to perceive. The anime is produced by A-1 Pictures and their staff have really brought this cultured series to life with vibrant colour, strong action sequences and a soundtrack to vybe to. Conclusion Read it! Watch it!

Written by SNI 6.9/10 rating I'm not sure why they gave us this show but they did so here we are, this is basically a spinoff show off a spin off show. In all honesty, I was never interested in Agatha’s character so I didn’t understand why she was getting her own show but the MCU continues to struggle so I guess shows like this are inevitable.  It starts off kind of similar to WandaVision (probably for the viewers to feel comfortable and know what to expect). But by the end of episode 1, all of that is shifted to one side and they let you know it’s gonna be a bit different this time.  It then goes down the comedy/horror route which I guess is ok, but I only watched because I thought they were going to teach me more about Agatha's character. I did learn a tad about her character but the origin story didn’t really entice me so I lost interest all over again. For 8 episodes the pacing is actually quite good. My favourite concept within this show would’ve been the continuity of the character ‘Lilia’. How they portrayed her in the second episode and showed her POV later in the episode was brilliant and was really fun to watch! It made you feel like the previous episodes were not a waste, this also explained her character’s abilities, struggles and allowed us to connect with the character more. I did NOT enjoy the singing within the show, I felt it was leaning too much towards a musical and us Marvel fans didn’t sign up for that. We didn't even sign up for this series so please don’t make it worse. The plot twist at the end is also really good for the storyline. Basically, Billy is just like his mother (Wanda) and essentially created the witch's road the same way Wanda took over the small town called West View. The ending with Billy and Agatha heading out to embark on a different journey only opens more doors for the MCU to plant them anywhere they like, so I'm sure we will be seeing more of this team-up. Maybe there’ll be a season two? Or maybe we'll see them in a big blockbuster MCU film? Who knows? At least they have been given an origin and a quest for now. Personally, I'm going to give Agatha about 6/10. This show wasn't really needed but they had some really good concepts and the storytelling was good. The whole show doesn't make that much of a difference to the MCU as a whole, whereas a show like Loki for example has a big impact on the whole MCU which is what the fans want to see. I feel like all Marvel fans think like this when a new series comes out from the MCU - “How does this show impact the upcoming Marvel movies? Because that's the only reason I'm here. If it doesn't have an impact, then it’s no good to us." Sorry MCU, I believe you can do better.

Naruto Live-Action Dreamers! Have we found our Sasuke?  Intro Tanner Emmanuel Buchanan is well-known for his role as Robbie in Cobra Kai. This is where I saw the performance that gave me Sasuke vybz. He was able to show aggression, inner conflict, ambition and good physical capabilities for the taijutsu smoke.  Performance in Cobra Kai Tanner is a very engaging actor (similarly to Sasuke), his character Robbie goes through a few of his own personal arcs and sways in his emotions (that makes me think, maybe I agree that Sasuke is a Emo). The troubled youth, prodigal athlete, competing with his nemesis, then, rival to dream-team tag-team (with Xolo Mariduena’s Miguel character). He has demonstrated different energy. Physical Capabilities.  I definitely believe Tannner would be capable of more intense martial arts brought to us by our revered Taijutsu. Even though the action in Cobra Kai isn't Ip Man style realism, you can plainly see his physical capabilities. I'm no martial expert but I've seen him do turning back kicks, 360s and some stuff in the latest episode that reminded me of Lions Barrage! Naruto or Naruto Shippuuden?  This is when we have to be more critical of the idea. Tanner is 25 years old and may be in the final tears of a teenage look. It may be difficult to have him as a 12 year-old Sasuke but I can definitely see him as a slightly more mature Sasuke in Shippuden. Conclusion Tanner has charisma and athleticism which very key to playing Sasuke. If he was ever able to get the role somehow, I believe he would do it justice.

Spoiler Alert Pacing & Raising The Stakes Some storylines enable writers to have several peaks in their story that allows viewer's emotions to go up and down. Bleach has been able to do this well with its three seasons. This episode, we find ourselves in Yhwach’s final lair and another cool stage has been set for more exciting fights. Only the Elite Remain  Renji vs Uryuu This was a majestic roaring fight (even though it was'n the longest). Episode 7 allowed both parties to show the best of themselves with a little back-and-forth. The animation was clean, the dialogue was just right and there a good mix of technical fighting, splashed with explosive tsunamis of energy attacks. Uryu has behaved in his role with intensity. We understand he has chosen his style but he still shows glimmers of inner conflict. Has he shown restraint? The Captains and Vice-Captains Am I the only one enjoying seeing the top ranking officers operate in these small units? A saw a little Naruto vybz (small powerful squads). It’s so satisfying seeing all the most popular and powerful shinigami manoeuvre shoulder-to-shoulder. Every time I saw Urahara with the Gotei 13, I was smiling. There were many wholesome moments as he interacted with his former comrades.   Allies Episode 7 has given fans Nel and Grimmjow! Two more of the many allies we have seen this season that previously appeared in the series. Imagine Ulquiorra was here! The interactions felt natural under the circumstances. I would like to know more about the state of Hueco Mundo post-Aizen. Spiritual Pressure Let’s talk about spiritual pressure. The anime on a whole looks great but the reishi really stands out to me. I especially appreciate the texture, glow and minuscule dense particles flowing through. This was a heart-racing episode and there is even more greatness to come
