Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is one of the greatest and longest-running fictional series of all time. After 22 years, Oda confirmed that only 80 per cent of the series has been completed so far.

With the Wano Country arc, the most anticipated arc in the entire series, being nearly half-way through, more interesting theories are on the rise and we certainly hope that eventually come true....

Probably not as far as Tom Holland – the king fanboy....
Netflix brought back a beloved ‘80s series in Voltron: Legendary Defender. Following a group of young paladins as they pilot spaceships that resemble lions that can come together, the series has drawn comparisons to everything from Power Rangers to Avatar: The Last Airbender. One property that it doesn’t get many comparisons to is Harry Potter. That’s likely because Voltron is so firmly in the science fiction realm, while the Harry Potter franchise is more fantasy....
If every rumored movie actually went into production and was released in theaters or on streaming, then there would be limitless content available for viewers to consume. But, as the recent cancelation of Batgirl deftly demonstrated, even major studio investments and tentpole projects sometimes get shelved. Although most movie concepts never make it past the theoretical stage, certain films have gotten pretty far into development or generated quite a lot of grassroots buzz to no avail....
Lots of movies never make it past the pre-production stages. Whether it’s by failure to secure financing or mysterious delays, some movies are just destined to remain as pipe dreams. Every so often, however, the stars align, and a movie is shot, edited, and completed, but, for one reason or another, it never sees the light of day. This most often occurs with small budget features, but, every now and again, a hot property with a big budget and an all-star cast is never released....

Perhaps it was the cynicism of the 90’s striking yet again, but the decade has a distinct fascination with crime thrillers. Indie filmmakers flooded the industry with innovation, and the genre is somewhat loosely defined, so there’s plenty to revisit. Certain films stood out in examining the filth with forthright attitudes and sharp, enduring screenplays. However, some stories move beyond even an analysis of crime or society. Many of these films dare the audience to sympathize with the anti-heroes in their stark underworld....
Facts of life: not all films are created equally. Many films are masterpieces, celebrated in their time, while others are often either forgotten or neglected. Even great movies are vulnerable to being overlooked in their day. Many films that are now considered masterpieces were, upon release, ignored. It might stun modern film buffs which films were ignored by the general populace. Some flopped upon release. Others just remained misunderstood by critics....
Friends is one of the most popular shows that has ever aired on television. It still manages to make people laugh even though it ended fifteen years ago.
