Over the years, countless weapons have been featured across various mediums ranging from comic books to the live-action film series.

However, after the spectacle of a current generation Fallout game wore off, many realized that the game lacked the depth of story and expansive RPG elements as previous installments in the series....

Ordinarily when it comes to sequels, the rule of thumb is that they ought to come out anytime within the next 5 years for it to be expected among the audience. After that, it’s usually safe to assume that a sequel isn’t happening at all. But that’s exactly why belated sequels that are done well are so immensely satisfying. While it may be true that we currently live in a cinematic world that seems drearily empty of unique or original ideas, every now and then a gem of a sequel shines through the muck - even if the audience has to wait an unreasonable amount of time to get that sequel....

The 2002 original is widely loved for its poignant storyline and brilliant characterizations; by the time we reach the fifth film, its legendary status has become a lot more questionable.

Harry Potter is the best YA fantasy has to offer. Much of its fantastic elements are reinforced by the very lack of Muggle science and technology, particularly on the grounds of Hogwarts School itself. Hermione tells Harry that Rita Skeeter cannot “bug” Hogwarts, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, because muggle technology doesn’t work at the school. But while the books make clear what is not possible in the Wizarding World, they don’t explore what magic might be possible in the Muggle World....
