The main characters of Digimon Tamers are the first in the Digimon anime franchise to not be DigiDestined. Instead, Takato, Henry, Rika, and the rest of their friends are designated as Tamers. They aren't special children chosen for a special purpose, but kids who happen to bond individually and become partners with Digimon in various ways.

The heroes of Digimon Tamers are the best written in the franchise. This applies to the main kids, their Digimon, and their various allies. Nearly all of them are fully fleshed out and well-developed, with their stories directly tied to the dark and mature narrative of the season.

Overwatch 2 is returning to the world of anime with a crossover event themed around the beloved My Hero Academia franchise. As a part of the competitive shooter's attempt to better engage with its audience, Overwatch 2 has begun dipping its toes into the world of IP collaboration, a move that has resulted in some fun character designs but has also managed to irk the player base. Much like the Cowboy Bebop crossover, the My Hero Academia skins can only be purchased with premium currency, alienating the free-to-play community.

Per an official trailer on YouTube, Overwatch 2 announced that five legendary skins based on characters from My Hero Academia will be available from October 17 to October 30.

The transformed characters included Reaper as Tomura Shigaraki, Juno as Uravity, Tracer as Deku, Reinhardt as All Might, and Kiriko as Himiko Toga. All of the skins are locked behind a premium paywall but players who aren't...

The limited event is set to run from October 17-30, and will feature exclusive legendary skins based on heroes and villains from Kohei Horikoshi's series. The collab has Tracer taking on Deku, Juno as Uravity and Reinhardt as All Might. On the villain side, Kiriko gets decked out like Himiko Toga and Reaper becomes Tomura Shigaraki. All of the skins can be collected in one fell swoop with the Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia Mega Bundle , which includes the five skins and additional cosmetics.

Darkseid is. Not only that, but he's back like never before. As DC rolls out its Absolute Universe, it seems like Darkseid is going to have more of an impact than just as a Justice League space villain. In a recent glimpse of what's to come, Darkseid has taken a new form that cements him as the greatest foe in DC history.

As part of DC's All In initiative, fans will get to see two distinct versions of the Justice League with parallel stories entirely their own. But there's only one Darkseid - and it seems he's given himself a new edge to win this time around. Darkseid debuts a new costume in unlettered preview pages by Daniel Sampere and Alejandro Snchez for DC All In Special #1 by Joshua Williamson, Scott Snyder, Sampere, Snches, Wes Craig, and Mike Spicer.

After unlocking Retainers in Final Fantasy Xiv, players can freely choose or reset the classes for their newfound helpers, assuming they also have accessed the same class. However, if a player wishes to upgrade their Retainer's class to a particular job or change their class to a "classless job," the process becomes slightly more complex. For example, if a player becomes an Astrologian in Final Fantasy Xiv, they may wonder why there are no options in the Retainer menu to likewise make them an Astrologian.

Classless jobs such as the Astrologian or jobs upgraded from a class like White Mage can only be applied to a Retainer after the player has purchased a copy of Modern Vocation. This unique item enables Retainers to equip job-specific equipment in Final Fantasy Xiv, granting them far superior stats than before. Changing a Retainer's job also allows players to provide a Retainer with unique...

Xbox has come a long way and has established itself as a major brand in the gaming industry. It has acquired several studios over the years, both developers and publishers, to strengthen its place in the industry and compete with other brands like Sony and Nintendo.

Sega, one of the most popular developers in the industry, hasn’t had the best time in business and has recorded big losses. Fans are now asking Microsoft to purchase the company to save it from further losses and also bring new games in the popular franchises of the publisher to players.

When Riot Games first announced Valorant, the gaming community went wild with excitement. The prospect of a new tactical shooter from the League of Legends developers was enough to pique the interest of gamers worldwide. However, as more details about the game emerged, many began to draw comparisons between Valorant and Blizzard’s popular hero shooter, Overwatch.

Let’s just say that the similarities were hard to ignore. From the colorful cast of characters to each agent’s unique abilities, Valorant seemed to be borrowing heavily from Overwatch‘s playbook. This led to a barrage of criticism, with many accusing Riot of creating nothing more than an Overwatch knockoff.

Now, with Valorant gearing up for its highly anticipated console debut, the comparisons between the two games have once again become a hot topic of discussion among their respective fanbases.

When we talk about the greatest anime of all time, one of the most common names among the audience is Tite Kubo’s magnum opus Bleach. If you are familiar with the story, you will realize that it can easily compete for that title. Filled with numerous captivating concepts such as Soul Reaper, Quincies, and a power system that is easy to understand, Bleach is truly a work of art.

Bleach managed to captivate the audience with its wide array of characters, each of whom was given in-depth development for the fans. The characters were meticulously crafted and made sure that none of their potential ever went to waste. In a Shonen Jump interview in 2006, Tite Kubo revealed that he loved the characters as if they were real. This connection between the creator and the characters became the reason for the series’ surreal success.

Having made its debut in the original game, The Reaper returns in Persona 3 Reload and is as difficult an opponent as ever. While the Reaper may not seem like an official boss fight, this is undoubtedly one of the most challenging enemies players have the opportunity to face off against and should proceed with caution.

It's important to note that the Reaper is not a mandatory fight. Players can complete the game without encountering the Reaper if they choose to. However, achievements are linked to it, which can be a great way to determine whether you're ready for the powerful end-game bosses.

There are a lot of generic action thrillers out there, and Land of Bad has all the qualities of one of them, except you have Russell Crowe, who commands such presence that keeps you interested for a brief moment. That is enough to see Land of Bad through, and the action is not bad enough to take you out of the film. The story is pretty straightforward, but it’s the emotional quotient brought in by the fact that the Hemsworth brothers, Luke and Liam, are in the film together in a life-threatening situation, plus there’s an intense Russell Crowe trying to save them while sitting in his station far away. It all culminates in a riveting thriller, which isn’t too bad considering the beginning is so dull and dreary.

A newbie soldier, Sergeant J.J. Kinney, aka Playboy,...

Plot: When an Army Oda team is ambushed, their only hope lies with an Air Force Jtac (Liam Hemsworth) and a drone pilot (Russell Crowe) to guide them through a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.

Review: No matter the small changes, it’s incredible how much war movies tend to be the same. The tale of a battalion going into a warzone, only for everything to go wrong, could be described as the plot of several films. So if you’re well-versed in the genre, Land of Bad will feel like going on a familiar ride. It can even be a bit frustrating with how stereotypical the story beats get. But if you’re going into this hoping for some intense action, there are several scenes to satiate that need.

The Sulu Sea is a body of water in the southwestern area of the Philippines, and as the opening crawl of Land of Bad tells us, home to some of the most violent extremists in Asia. It’s also where Master Sergeant John “Sugar” Sweet and his team, Sergeant Abell and Sergeant Bishop are being deployed.

Joining them is Air Force Sergeant J.J. Kinney a rookie Jtac. He’s not qualified to go out with these guys, but he was the only one available to act as their link with drone operators Reaper and Nia back in the US.

A Delta Force extraction team with a novice communications officer relies on a stalwart drone pilot when their top-secret mission becomes compromised. Land of Bad is a taut and harrowing military thriller that viscerally captures the real-time stakes of bloody combat. There are no foolish heroics or snappy catchphrases as a ruthless enemy exacts merciless revenge. Swift coordination becomes the key to survival in a dire, constantly evolving situation. A sobering narrative depicts the fortitude, professionalism, and lethal expertise needed by soldiers and command in the unexpected, worst-case scenario.

In the Southeastern Philippines, Sergeant JJ "Playboy" Kinney (Liam Hemsworth), a young Air Force Tacp (Tactical Air Control Party) officer, steadies himself for a dangerous assignment. A Jsoc (Joint Special Operations Command) operative has been captured by a Russian mercenary. Master Sergeant John "Sugar" Sweet (Milo Ventimiglia) will lead a black ops unit to recover the valuable asset. Sugar asks the...

Directed by William Eubank from a script written by David Frigerio and Eubank, action thriller Land of Bad combines the talents of an all-star cast including Liam Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, one-time Batman hopeful Milo Ventimiglia, Ricky Whittle and Luke Hemsworth. The result is a non-stop smorgasbord of anxiety-ridden scenes, drone warfare, hand-to-hand combat, and the type of explosions that will make Michael Bay up the ante for his next movie.

The film follows a team of Delta Force operatives -- Sugar (Ventimiglia), Bishop (Whittle), Abel (Luke Hemsworth) and rookie Kinney (Liam Hemsworth) -- who are sent to the Philippines to retrieve a CIA asset. The mission takes a turn for the worse as most of the team is presumed killed in action. Kinney is left on his own, needing to find a way off the island while avoiding the enemy on his heels. The only assistance he has is from...

Liam Hemsworth teams up with Gladiator star Russell Crowe in a new project from William Eubank, Land of Bad. The film, which also stars Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, and Milo Ventimiglia, follows Kinney (Hemsworth) and his team of soldiers as Reaper (Crowe) helps them survive the jungle after a mission went awry.

Land of Bad

It is the typical visual feast for fans of ‘90s Hollywood action films which aims to honor and revisit the genre that made a lot of action stars globally popular. Hence, fans can expect a lot of gunshots, explosions, and hard-hitting scenes.

It’s a customary cliché to say that certain actors are so compelling, a viewer might pay to watch them read the phone book. Land Of Bad, despite its hilariously simplistic title, isn’t quite that on the nose, but...

There’s a particularly intense scene early on in the new war movie Land of Bad. A young soldier is faced with a difficult choice when it comes to breakfast: Fruit Loops or Frosted Flakes. He stares at the two boxes intently, turning them over to compare their nutritional content (or lack thereof). It’s practically a metaphor for the choices facing moviegoers at their local multiplex these days.

A prime example would be William Eubank’s action-thriller, which feels like a Michael Bay film if he faced budgetary restraints. But for all its familiar aspects, Land of Bad does have a few things going for it, namely the presence of not one but two Hemsworth brothers (sadly, though, Chris isn’t one of them) and Russell Crowe, who spends most of the movie sitting in a chair staring at a screen and manages to completely steal it anyway.

Season two of The Terminal List is shaping up. It was recently announced that Umbrella Academy‘s Tom Hopper is joining the cast for this adaptation. Hopper is reportedly set to play Raife Hastings in Terminal List: Dark Wolf, who is described as “a hunter, protector, guardian and Navy Seal.” Now Deadline has revealed that Westworld‘s Luke Hemsworth will now also be joining the fight in this season of The Terminal List. Hemsworth is on board to play Jules Landry, who is said to be “a self-obsessed CIA contractor who hides a dangerously volatile personality beneath his muscled veneer.” The two join the series’ stars Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch.

The development of the season is picking up steam after the production was unable to move forward with the writers’ and actors’ strikes taking place last summer. While promoting The Equalizer 3, executive producer and director Antoine Fuqua would...

Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth star in director William Eubank’s action thriller, Land Of Bad. Here’s an intense, shooty red band trailer.

Russell Crowe arguably gets the cosier end of the deal in the upcoming action thriller, Land Of Bad. While Liam Hemsworth wades through water, gets shot at, and seemingly gets involved in Fight Club-style fisticuffs, Crowe sits in a gamer’s chair and barking advice in an air conditioned military building.

Land Of Bad is the latest film from director William Eubank (who also co-writes with David Frigerio) – a filmmaker who broke through with the low-budget yet ambitious sci-fi Love in 2011. He later made sci-fi thriller The Signal (2014), the actually-pretty-good ocean bottom sci-fi horror Underwater (2020), and chiller sequel Paranormal Activity: Next Of Kin (2021).

Ghost Reaper Girl resumes after a year-plus hiatus, with new characters inspired by Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The new Cthulhu-inspired characters in chapter #36 of Ghost Reaper Girl only loosely resemble their original counterparts, but some previous characters closely resemble Lovecraft's creations. Ghost Reaper Girl introduces Bastet, an Egyptian goddess, and connects her to the Lovecraftian character Nyarlathotep, adding depth to the story's mythology.

Warning: Spoilers for Ghost Reaper Girl chapter #36The Lovecraftian Shonen Jump+ manga Ghost Reaper Girl has finally resumed after a year-plus hiatus that was announced officially in late May 2022. The latest installment picks up with a bang right where chapter #35 left off on May 2 with three of four new characters sharing the same names as Hp Lovecraft's Great Old Ones from the Cthulhu mythos.

The Reapers, memorable villains from the Blade movie trilogy, have made their impactful debut in the comics, appearing in Blade #4. Blade teams up with Doctor Strange to steal the sword of Lucifer from Hamilton Achilles, a wealthy and sophisticated vampire who is also a Reaper. The introduction of Achilles showcases that the Reapers are deadlier than ever before, with the potential to be the most dangerous vampires Blade has ever faced.

Warning: Spoilers for Blade #4!The memorable brand of vampire - The Reapers - from the Blade movie trilogy have just made an impactful return in the comics.

Los Angeles, Sep 14 (Ians) Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), car company Tesla and the private space agency Space X , has posted on X a picture of his ex-girlfriend actress Amber Heard cosplaying as Mercy, a character from the popular multiplayer-shooter game ‘Overwatch’.

The Tesla billionaire, 52, had dated the ‘Aquaman’ actress, 37 back in 2015, where she did a cosplay of Mercy, after Musk had told her that she reminded him of the ‘Overwatch’ character.

This trivia was part of his new biography titled ‘Elon Musk,’ Daily Mail reported. The biography: ‘He told her that she reminded him of Mercy, his favorite character in the video game Overwatch.

The Criminal Minds episode where Hotch's former wife Haley is killed by UnSub George Foyet, aka the Reaper, is one of the show's most memorable to date. Criminal Minds debuted in 2005 and set itself apart from other law-enforcement dramas of the time by putting a focus on a team of FBI agents profiling serial killers. This psychological angle saw the show attract a fanbase, and it rarely shied away from the darkness inherent in the subject matter. The darker side of Criminal Minds is exemplified by its range of fictional serial killers and criminals, but no other UnSub is quite as famous as The Reaper on Criminal Minds — thanks in no small part to the Criminal Minds episode where Hotch's ex-wife died.

Criminal Minds has plenty of fan-favorite characters, from Matthew Gray Gubler's Spencer Reid to Kirsten Vangsness' Garcia or Shemar Moore's Morgan. The interplay and chemistry between...
