I think there's something really cool about these peopl...

Bulma takes center stage in a collection of '80s promotional artwork by manga artist Gaku Miyao originally geared toward Dragon Ball's female fans. Dragon Ball has unveiled a series of retro illustrations spotlighting Goku's beloved companion since the series' earliest conception, Bulma. X (formerly Twitter) user Todd Blankenship (@Herms98) recently showcased a series of vibrant promotional pics from the franchise's early years. According to the post, these pictures were not drawn by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama but by another manga artist named Gaku Miyao, who is now known for their Kazan series. However, the illustrations adorned the covers of Showa's line of Dragon Ball-themed notebooks, which were designed to appeal to the franchise's female fans. Therefore, Miyao made Bulma a centerpiece of the campaign, including her in every illustration alongside Son Goku.

The team behind Marvel's Loki considered making a major He Who Remains change that would have made the show's wildest Kang the Conqueror theory true. Loki season 1 could have had He Who Remains as the variant of another major Marvel Cinematic Universe character, not Kang the Conqueror, making Loki's wildest Kang theory true. Jonathan Majors first debuted as He Who Remains in Loki, then played Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but things could have been very different. Speaking with Den of Geek, Loki producer Kevin Wright revealed that the team behind the series considered making He Who Remains a Loki variant. Check out the full quote below: “We just thought [He Who Remains] would be a great title for the last man standing in the multiversal war. In the writers’ room, all ideas are on the table, and there were conversations about what if Loki was He Who Remains. Those conversations didn’t get very far; I don’t think it even got to Tom [Hiddleston] because while ther...

Netflix's latest horror series has staged a reunion between two key cast members of Reacher, who won't be returning for season 2 of Amazon's show. Netflix's new horror miniseries The Fall of the House of Usher stages the Reacher union that Amazon's series has denied viewers. While the Tom Cruise duology of Jack Reacher movies may have been a financial success, the casting of the actor himself was - and remains - controversial among fans of the books. Amazon's Reacher found its perfect embodiment of the titular avenger in Alan Ritchson, who had both the stoic humor, charm and physique to bring the hulking character to life. Perfect as Ritchson was, his co-stars in the first season deserve equal praise. Reacher season 1 cast Willa Fitzgerald as Roscoe and Malcolm Goodwin as Finlay, and adapted the first novel in Lee Child's series Killing Floor. Roscoe fan Finlay help Reacher investigate the murder of Reacher's brother, which thus uncovers a criminal consp...

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...
