The reactions from the Masters Bangkok participants who got an early peek at Agent 28 suggest we’re not just getting another entry fragger—we’re potentially witnessing the birth of a meta-destroying monster.

One of the biggest questions in battle shonen anime like Bleach is: how strong should the protagonist be? If the hero is not strong enough, then they cannot win any fights without serious contrivances, and their weakness may annoy the audience. Being too strong means the action star won't struggle in battle, and their victories won't feel earned or inspiring. Now, Bleach fans are encouraged to assess where Ichigo Kurosaki falls on that scale.

In many ways, the power scaling of Bleach was handled well, with the power levels of the Agent of the Shinigami arc giving way to shikai and bankai, followed by world-ending threats like Yhwach and the Schutzstaffel. Ichigo kept pace with all that power scaling in exciting and fun ways, but more and more, it became clear Ichigo had a little too much power, and Bleach resorted to weird ways to deal with that.

Ichigo's Inner...

While some actors take on many roles out of passion for their craft, others occasionally accept projects simply as part of the job. Hugo Weaving, known for playing some of the most unforgettable characters in Hollywood, has always been praised for bringing power and depth to his performances.

His intense screen presence and deep voice have made him a natural fit for playing villains. That is exactly why he was chosen to voice Megatron in Michael Bay’s Transformers films.

Fans loved his portrayal of the Decepticon leader, believing that his menacing voice gave the character a unique presence. However, Weaving himself felt very differently about the role.

Was Hugo Weaving really uninterested in playing Megatron?

Remember how, as recently as the end of last week’s Paradise episodes, we all thought Billy Pace was actually a stone cold killer? Well he is. But this week’s episode makes it clear that he’s not the presidential assassin we were led to believe killed Cal Bradford. He’s just a regular assassin. Good thing that air got cleared, eh? Because by the end of the hour, he’s dead.

Just in case you thought this show was done throwing twists at us, it lobs a tiny-but-fatal one at viewers — and poor Billy — in the episode’s final moments.

Mark Harmon revealed a fun fact about the very early days of NCIS: his character almost had a totally different name.

If you don’t know, the 72-year-old actor starred as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the CBS fan favorite for 19 seasons before exiting the long-running series in 2021.

Mark recently opened up about what initially intrigued him about the television role and how the series creator almost changed his character’s name to something very different.

“I read ‘Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ and thought, ‘Huh, I like that name,’” he told Et of what got his interest. “And then for a brief second when I decided that I liked the idea of the project, the name changed.”

Netflix has recently canceled five original TV shows, including two live-action and three animated shows, sparking complaints from subscribers. Most of the canceled shows only made it to one season, which has been a consistent trend with Netflix's cancellations. The streaming service may be risking the potential growth of its shows by canceling them too soon, as many successful TV series took time to find their footing in later seasons.

Netflix has canceled a grand total of five original TV shows in one fell swoop, and it doubles down on one of the biggest complaints from the streaming service’s subscriber base. The streamer has canceled two live-action shows, Glamorous and Shadow and Bone, as well as three animated shows: Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall. Shadow and Bone is a fantasy series based on the Y.A. books by Leigh Bardugo; it made it to two seasons before being canceled ahead of a third.

Netflix has pulled the plug on five shows at once, including two live-action shows and three adult animated comedies.

Per Deadline, Netflix has canceled Shadow and Bone, Glamorous, Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall. Of the five shows to be canceled, only Shadow and Bone had reached its second season, and it won't be getting a third. The television show massacre follows major delays with writing and filming because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which are said to have contributed to the cancelations. The report also noted that more cancelations across the board from different networks and streamers are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, given how the release schedules are still under examination after the strikes.

Joss Whedon's decision to create Agents of Shield explains why its connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was doomed from the beginning. Marvel Studios never wanted Agents of Shield to happen and preferred Whedon to focus on Avengers 2. The lack of reference to Agents of Shield in the main franchise confirms that it is not part of the Sacred Timeline, but still exists in an alternate reality.

The Avengers' director Joss Whedon's decision to make Agents of Shield explains why its connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was doomed from the beginning. Long before the debut of Disney+, which now exclusively houses Marvel Studios small screen projects, the Marvel TV branch existed. The idea was that shows like Agents of Shield and Agent Carter, both airing on ABC, expanded the storytelling that the franchise was doing on the big screen. However, while the series routinely referred to the events of their movie counterparts,...

In a recent episode of Loki season 2, Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes travel to 1863 Chicago. There, they find a young boy and give him a Tva handbook written by Ke Huy Quan’s Tva technician, Ouroboros. The next time we see that boy in 1893, he’s a man going by the name of Victor Timely who has studied the details of that book and is now able to invent the contraptions inside it, including the temporal loom that will become the center of the Tva.

This, of course, raises a question. Who really started the Tva? We’ve been told that the Tva was founded by He Who Remains, the man who Victor Timely will become. But now Loki shows that Victor/Hwr got the idea for the Tva from Ob’s book. How can He Who Remains be both the inspiration and be inspired?

The answer, of course, is time travel.

Many fans know Flash Thompson as Peter Parker's primary bully, but his time as Agent Venom is so memorable it's still being cosplayed. Flash's character shifted once more when he became Anti-Venom, adding to Marvel's broad symbiote lore. Despite Agent Venom's general absence from recent Marvel Comics events, he is still a very popular symbiote iteration.

While Eugene "Flash" Thompson debuted at the same time as Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, his time as Venom began much later.

Appearing as Venom in 2011 in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #654, it didn't take long for Flash to become a fan-favorite symbiote. Nonetheless, he would leave his role as Agent Venom and become Anti-Venom/Agent Anti-Venom in 2017.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in the middle of its television golden age thanks to Disney+ series like Moon Knight, WandaVision, and Loki, which is about to begin airing its second season. However, many fans are familiar with an age of Marvel television long ago that featured often-forgotten series like ABC's Agent Carter.

The former ABC president believes Agent Carter would have worked better today. Before Disney+'s current Marvel Cinematic Universe shows, there was the original Marvel TV era. From 2010 up until 2019, Marvel television hosted several shows across ABC, Netflix, and Hulu. But Marvel TV was ultimately absorbed into Marvel Studios as part of Kevin Feige's responsibilities.

Agent Carter was one of ABC's few Marvel TV shows that lasted for only two seasons. However, former ABC president Paul Lee believes it would have done better today. In a new interview with The Wrap, Lee expressed his optimism for Agent Carter if it existed today. Because of how interconnected MCU films and shows are now, Lee shared the following:

Look, structurally, don’t forget, it was at a time when Marvel movies and Marvel TV were separated. So I think one of the reasons it would do better today is that the platform is used to it.

One of The Night Agent's biggest twists was in the reveal of Diane Farr's function as the mole, which begs the question as to why she really hired Peter Sutherland for the Night Action program in the first place. Gabriel Basso's Peter Sutherland does indeed retain the attributes for the ideal agent to cover top-secret, high-level government initiatives. His knack for heroism is proven with his dedication to the protection of crime witness Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), and his loyalty to upholding the constructs of justice shines throughout the events of the Netflix action thriller series.

Peter's devotion to maintaining the morally good leads him to the lap of mole Diane Farr (Hong Chau) shortly after the incident of the Metro bombing. In season 1, episode 3 "The Zookeeper," Farr enlists Sutherland to man the Night Action line with the proposed intention of hiring someone hardworking, trustworthy, and loyal, and...

Spoilers for "The Night Agent" follow.

"The Night Agent" proved to be a success for Netflix, so it's no surprise the platform has renewed the political thriller for a second season. Adapted from a novel by Matthew Quirk, "The Night Agent" follows FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso). He works in the White House's basement, and every shift, he sits next to a phone, waiting for calls from "Night Action" agents in case of an emergency. Peter's first call comes from Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), a niece of two Night Action agents. Rose narrowly escaped a home invasion that claimed her aunt and uncle's lives; she and Peter get thrown into a conspiracy that goes up to the Oval Office.

Quirk's novel was a standalone story, but the series had a more open ending — the creators were aware more seasons were on the table. After preventing the assassination of President...

Warning: The article contains spoilers for The Night Agent season 1.The Night Agent showrunner Shawn Ryan reveals there was a lot of debate about how to pull off the shocking deaths in the Netflix series. A political thriller, based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk, focuses on a low-level FBI agent named Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) and how his life changes after he accepts a call that plunges him into a paranoid conspiracy that reaches the White House. That formula has led to a lot of success, including a quick renewal for The Night Agent season 2.

In an interview with TVLine, Ryan revealed there was a fair bit of debate on how to order the deaths. Ryan, who also created the hit Netflix series, said there were conversations about who should die first between Ellen (Eve Harlow) and Dale (Phoenix Raei). The showrunner mentions that there...

Why do so many child actors struggle? To be a good actor, you need self-awareness and empathy, and those are traits many children don't have. This makes Isabelle Fuhrman's performance in Jaume Collet-Serra's "Orphan" all the more exceptional.

In "Orphan," a Connecticut couple -- Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) -- is still reeling from the miscarriage of their third child. So, they decide to adopt. They're instantly charmed by a young Estonian girl named Esther (Fuhrman) and welcome her into their home.

Warning: Spoilers for The Night Agent season 1, episode 10

Serving as the culmination of multiple explosive twists, The Night Agent season 1 finale saw the villains’ masterplan finally go into motion. After several episodes of buildup, the final episode in the Netflix political thriller paid off Peter and Rose’s efforts to stop a plot by the vice president. It all came down to one last fight at Camp David, and with the president’s life at risk, the stakes were at their highest.

The events of the Night Agent season 1 amounted to a tumultuous journey for all involved, not excluding the show’s main antagonists. Efforts made by Peter, Rose, Chelsea, and Monks caused numerous kinks in the villains’ plans. The main characters suffered great losses along the way, namely Cisco and Monks, but various breakthroughs in their investigations helped them get closer and closer to finding out what the villains were planning,...

The Night Agent season 1 proved entertaining and full of twists, ending with a strong setup for season 2 – here’s what The Night Agent season 2 could be about, what’s known, and when it could seemingly reach audiences’ screens. After its Netflix release on March 23, The Night Agent garnered many new fans.

Ending with most conspirators detained, The Night Agent season 1 worked as a perfect origin story for Peter,...

Reporter Matt Belloni has asserted that The Night Agent's season 2 renewal at Netflix may have been influenced by more than just the series' impressive popularity. The Night Agent follows FBI Agent Peter Sutherland as he uncovers a conspiracy involving a mole that has reached the highest level of the US Government. Despite being released just a week ago, Netflix has already renewed The Night Agent for season 2.

In an episode of his podcast The Town, Belloni claims that The Night Agent's season 2 renewal may have been influenced by more than just the show's resounding success. He believes that a possible upcoming writer's strike may have influenced the show's quick renewal to ensure content can still be produced even after the writers go on strike. Check out what Belloni had to say below:

[The Night Agent] was just renewed by Netflix for a season 2 a week after it dropped.

When a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan considers the deadliest villain in the Tmnt’s rogues’ gallery, it is likely they think of the Shredder, though there is one other villain who has a nearly identical origin to that of the Shredder, but who proved to be far deadlier–and he was created totally by accident.

Oroku Saki aka the Shredder was the Tmnt’s first villain in terms of their publication history, which also made him their most iconic. However, in the current continuity of Idw Publishing’s Tmnt, the Shredder would have been nothing without another classic Tmnt villain backing him: Krang. Krang is an Utrom from Dimension X who brought the infamous mutagen ooze from his world to Earth, and even gave some canisters of the substance to Shredder to strengthen his army. Before their inevitable falling-out, Krang and Shredder planned to take over the world together.

Scott Pilgrim has been awarded another 1-up.

Netflix on Thursday handed a series order to Scott Pilgrim (working title), a new anime series based on the 2010 film (and the graphic novels from which it was adapted).
