The ludicrous can often be wildly entertaining. The following list will present ten franchises that started out with sound logic before really going off the deep end.

Dragon Ball has undoubtedly stood the test of time— the manga, at least. Toriyama’s 42 volume epic remains an incredibly important and entertaining story. It’s endlessly readable, offering fans something new with each re-read. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Dragon Ball’s anime adaptations.

The Z-arcs are still incredible in the manga, but the anime hasn’t aged well at all....

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was one of the most anticipated movies upon its release in 2008. Even though it’s been well over a decade since it hit the screens, the film still remains one of David Fincher’s greatest masterpieces, snatching three Academy Awards and countless other wins and nominations. Arguably one of the most complex and intriguing films to ever be made, the movie is full of tiny little nods and Easter eggs even the most avid fans might have missed....

A survey of 1,000 young adults Americans found that more than 10% of them had used Apple Pay to make a purchase in a retail store. This was well ahead of Google Pay at 4% and Samsung Pay’s 2%. The figure was even higher when it came to online purchases in the same 18-35 year old demographic … There Dealspotr found that the percentage there was 15%, though this is likely heavily driven by the prompt to use Apple Pay within some iOS apps....

We’re right around the corner from the season 8 premiere of the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, as the two-year wait will end on Sunday, April 14. As for whether or not it’ll end up being the best season of the show remains to be seen, but it’s certainly the most highly anticipated season since season 6, which promised to reveal the fate of the then Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch Jon Snow, who was murdered in the finale of season 5....

You’d be lying if you said that Christmas doesn’t invoke certain emotions in you: homecoming, nostalgia, and excitement. It’s that one time of the year when you truly get to relax and you know, just carry a little holiday weight, afterward (Season 7, Ross). More than most, Christmas is about the feeling of love, togetherness, family, and wholesomeness. And that’s why, despite being a religious festival, it’s celebrated with fervor worldwide....

For SMBs, email marketing remains a top method for customer acquisition (for 81% of SMBs) and retention (80%). There are many reasons why emails work so well. Effective emails are personalized, actionable, and mobile-optimized—factors that guarantee a strong return on investment. But you can’t hope to get good results if your email marketing strategy is not on-point. People get tonnes of emails daily in their inboxes. Most of them are ignored, deleted, or worse still, labelled as “spam....

On the one hand, it is certainly intended to be a work of art, but on the other, it’s an industry that is in the business of making money.

For six years we were totally enthralled in the behind-the-scenes look at Pawnee, Indiana’s government; more specifically, the Parks and Recreation Department. With Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope leading the way, fans of the show followed a whirlwind of character development, outdated portrayals of women in the workplace, and an array of some pretty outlandish jokes. Now, with many geniuses in the writing room and seven seasons on their belt, Parks and Rec....

Looney Tunes has been around for so many years that it’s been on since before the end of segregation.

One of the most prominent of these is the practice and skits based on blackface, a common Vaudeville and theater practice discriminating against people of color....

What makes a great filmmaker is vision. If you don’t have vision, then you can’t tell a story in a visual medium with any real impact. What sets apart directors like Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino is that they have a singular vision for their movies and they work tirelessly to realize that vision. However, famous directors don’t always end up directing their own scripts. Their script can be taken from them by a ruthless studio and given to someone else, or they can simply lose interest in helming a piece after putting it on paper....
