Two of Futurama's Most Beloved Characters Have Surprisingly Wild Kill Counts

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...

How Logan Explores Themes of Elderly Care

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...

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.
