Ohara Story

Futurama's Bender and Turanga Leela are two of the show's biggest heroes. Despite their heroic feats, they've racked up a lot of kills over the years. The world of Futurama is one where death and murder aren't just accepted aspects of life, but a casual constant. People who should by all accounts be dead can live on as heads in jars, and characters causing countless deaths across the cosmos is brushed aside. Even with this in mind, some of the show's nominally heroic characters have racked up some horrifying kill counts over the years. In one of Futurama's darkest elements, Bender and Turanga Leela have proven to be very violent over the years. Bender especially has a staggering kill count in-universe, and Leela has even turned her wrath onto her friends in an infamous non-canon tale. Here's how two of Futurama's central characters quietly became very horrifying. Futurama's Bender Is a Literal Killing Machine A long-running gag about Bender is his an...

Actress Ivanna Sakhno brings Baylan Skoll’s (Ray Stevenson) apprentice to life each week on the Disney+ series Ahsoka. And for Sakhno, she’ll never forget the first time her lightsaber blazed to life on set. Sakhno said in an interview conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike (via Star Wars): “It will always stay within me as the moment when Natasha and I saw our lightsabers ignite for the first time. And I see Natasha’s eyes. And she’s looking into my eyes. And, in that moment, we could really sense that it’s the beginning. It felt like the months of training before and what was about to come balanced each other out and kind of grounded the experience. It felt like we opened the gates into ...

Chucky is coming back with its Season 3, and this time, the story will take place inside the safest place in the United States, the White House. The third season of Syfy and USA Network’s hit cult horror series, Chucky, is finally arriving next month, and seems to be taking an equally ridiculous and horrific turn.

While Chucky's motives within the nation's highest office remain unclear, the trailer teases a reunion with familiar faces from the previous seasons.

Logan shows the difficulties of caring for people who suffer from Alzheimer's by portraying the father-son relationship of Professor X and Wolverine. When Logan came out in 2017, most fans believed they would be seeing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the last time. Because of this, the movie showed a new side of two of the most famous X-Men characters -- Logan and Professor Xavier. Logan beautifully portrays the strong bond between Wolverine and Professor Xavier, highlighting the sacrifices made in caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's disease. By presenting the mental and physical decline of Professor X, Logan opens up a discussion about the struggles of those who suffer from Alzheimer's and their caregivers. The X-Men movies showcased Professor X as a caring figure to all of his students. In Logan, that favor was returned as Wolverine was shown to deeply care for Professor X. He kept him alive and spared him the knowledge of how his uncontrolled powers killed most of h...

An intruguing couple in One Piece has been considered the top candidates as Mihawk's parents, and the evidence points toward this theory being true. Despite being syndicated for over 25 years, One Piece still presents many questions that demand answers. Among its many narrative threads, there are countless events that need to be explored. While Will of D., the lineage of Shanks, and the identity of Rocks D. Xebec are but a few of these mysteries, they speak to the show's interest in the lineage of One Piece's cast. The anime explores this recurring theme time and time against. As the series approaches its long-awaited final saga, there are still several major characters whose backstories and lineage are completely unknown. Arguably, the most noteworthy of these individuals is none other than Dracule Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman. Since his first appearance in the Baratie Arc, Dracule Mihawk’s origins have been shrouded in mystery. One Piece states the swordsma...

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly that was conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike, Jeffries discussed how her portrayal of Annabeth Chase would differ from the one in Rick Riodan's Percy Jackson novels. "I'm playing a character that is a different person, different hair color, different skin tones, and all that. That's what the prototype was," Jeffries says. "Just to hear that I'm playing her different was like, 'Wow, I'm now gonna be an inspiration to other girls.'" The actor added, "My experience filming the series has been phenomenal and unbelievable." Jeffries joined the cast of Percy Jackso...

Mortal Kombat 1's story mode is filled with twists and turns, action and tragedy, and a ton of drama that sets up another game-changing chapter. As Mortal Kombat 1's story mode unfolds, it's perfectly clear this isn't the MK of old. Apart from Liu Kang tinkering with the main timeline, somewhat improving what Raiden attempted in the past, the franchise drops a massive bombshell regarding the Multiverse. The victory over Kronika in MK11 actually spawned infinite realities where other Titans and Time Gods emerged apart from Liu Kang. It's what drives Shang Tsung, who won in an alternate MK11 reality, to seek out and crush all timelines, beginning with this one. Luckily, Liu Kang becomes the Fire God and Keeper of Time once more, seeking out allies from other worlds to create a Multiversal alliance. But while he stops Shang Tsung, or at least this version of the shape-shifting sorcerer, MK1 sets up quite a few paths for a sequel. Mortal Kombat 2 Sets Up a Bloody Ninja ...

Star Wars: Dark Droids has made Darth Vader dangerous for a whole new reason, and it could have major implications for the franchise's future.

Unfortunately for him, that hasn't kept Vader from being targeted by enemies of every ilk. Now, Star Wars: Dark Droids has set a new nemesis upon Vader that he wasn't aware of to begin with. And, even if Vader escapes the clutches of the Scourge, the precedent set by their encounter could still cast a dark shadow over the Galaxy Far, Far Away for years to come.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer surpasses its final box office milestone, as it begins the billion-dollar quest.

The 3-hour-long epic World War 2 drama has officially reached the "Trinity Test" stage of its epic box office run since it managed to cross the pivotal $900 million mark from its Friday performance. While this figure is already more than double what was needed to turn a profit, as well as the early estimations, the film, performing like a major superhero film at this point, has evidently started to chase a few more milestones, beginning with the $1 billion mark. As of Friday, the estimated total stands at $903 million, with a major share of $586 million contributed by international markets. With Sunday's weekend numbers factored in, industry experts project the glo...

The Charlie’s Angels star defends her decision to bring her talk show back on-air despite the WGA strike. Drew Barrymore has faced a lot of backlash over her recent decision to bring her talk show back on air amid the WGA strike. The Drew Barrymore show was unique when it first started because, unlike many other daytime talk shows, the writer’s staff was largely union. Now, Barrymore has chosen to bring her show back, despite criticism from fans and her own WGA writers.

The DC Universe is set to avoid the mistakes of the DC Extended Universe, and following the Conjuring Universe's template is the best way to do so. Created by James Wan, the Conjuring Universe is easily one of the most successful shared universes in the past decade. In that, several other attempts at cinematic universes have come and gone, but these horror movies (based loosely on the real-life cases of demonologist couple Ed and Lorraine Warren) have remained a firm fixture at spooky season and at the box office. Ironically, the Warner Bros. films might offer the best way to handle another franchise from WB. The rebooted DC Universe begins in 2025 with Superman: Legacy, and the goal is to succeed where the previous DC Extended Universe failed. The most obvious source of successful inspiration is Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe, but trying to emulate these movies only doomed the DCEU. Instead, the new DCU might be better served by sticking close to the formula of the ...

Lost Mine of Phandelver is a perfect adventure for first-time players and DMs. However, there are some things you should know before running it. When starting out, the task of running a game of Dungeons & Dragons can be intimidating. This leads many novice Dungeon Masters to choose a pre-written adventure for their first campaign. A premade D&D 5e module can reduce prep time and the mental overhead involved in DMing and still be customized to suit the table's tastes. Lost Mine of Phandelver is no longer the go-to introduction, having been replaced with Dragon of Stormwreck Isle in the new starter set. Nonetheless, it's worthy of consideration for a group's first adventure. Lost Mine of Phandelver is a single adventure spanning levels one through four and split into four chapters. It goes from a simple job escorting cargo, to clashes against local goblins and ruffians, to plunging through the fabled Wave Echo Cave against a sinister mastermind. Lost Mine of Phandelve...
