One Piece has taken a big step with the massive turn of events at the Egghead Island. While Monkey D. Luffy was battling against the Five Elders, Dr. Vegapunk was trying his level best to broadcast the true history of the World Government to the entire planet. With the scientist perishing at the hands of the Elders, he managed to fulfill his last mission and revealed everything he knew to the world.
During the live broadcast, fans caught a particular moment when Vegapunk mentioned a certain mysterious character in his speech. Fans believe that it is none other than the World Ruler, Imu Sama. Even though it was a vague hint, the reaction by Saint Jaygarcia Saturn made it more believable to the fans that it is another foreshadowing by Eiichiro Oda.

Gege Akutami’s approach toward storytelling has been one that managed to turn heads ever since Jujutsu Kaisen first started serializing. There has always been a range provided in the manga as well as the anime, one that brings it both praise and criticism. In the way the story is written, there is a flow that can disappoint yet excite fans at the same time.

Such is the case with pacing, character understanding, and the direction in which the story is going. For Jujutsu Kaisen, the tail was already set in stone before it began. Itadori’s fate was decided and with it, everything else that came with his journey. Akutami’s editor noticed this too, loving the way the story blends two different groups together.

Eiichiro Oda has always been one to take inspiration from other sources and inspire others at the same time. Starting One Piece decades ago, he has seen the advantage of witnessing eras change and evolve with time. There are many famous mangakas who are openly giddy about the ideas that have come to fruition because of Oda’s contributions to the anime and manga industry.

Many of those include Gege Akutami (Jujutsu Kaisen), Yuki Tabata (Black Clover), and Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia). In this widespread range, there was one particular comment made by Takehiko Inoue that struck Oda in the best way possible. So much so that it became an inspiring moment in return, making him want to write and draw more of One Piece.

Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley manage to inspire celebrities to this day. For several different reasons, some fans see Lana Del Rey as Priscilla’s modern equivalent. Here’s why that’s the case — and why Del Rey didn’t write a tune for the soundtrack of Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla.
Lana Del Rey wasn’t able to pen a song for ‘Priscilla’
Del Rey’s haircuts and outfits from her early career are very reminiscent of Priscilla’s style from the 1960s. On top of that, Del Rey has referenced the “Blue Suede Shoes” singer throughout her career. For example, her songs “Million Dollar Man,” “American,” and “Body Electric” all allude to Elvis or his songs, while Elvis is a character in Del Rey’s Tropico alongside Adam, Eve, Jesus Christ, and the Virgin Mary. Del Rey’s “The Greatest” also has some instrumental similarities with “Can’t Help Falling in Love.

Whenever Godzilla attacks a vast metropolis in one of his movies, there's usually something majestic and even graceful about the way he demolishes the various bridges, vehicles, and buildings in his path. In the case of King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World's city-leveling antics are typically painted in either a tragic light -- as is the case in his solo outings -- or as something awe-inspiring, like in his crossovers with Godzilla. And then, on the opposing end of the giant monster movie spectrum, there's "Clover," the quasi-official nickname of the creature that lays ruin to New York City in director Matt Reeves' 2008 hit "Cloverfield."
Much like the Muppets, when Clover takes Manhattan, it's with all the elegance and finesse of a panicked cat whose human owners have only just caught them snooping in their kitchen pantry. As the U.S. military reigns fire down upon them, the creature wildly flails its limbs,...

Warning: contains major spoilers for the Magpie Murders finale.
With Magpie Murders, you get double bubble – one investigation in the ‘real’ world as literary editor Susan Ryeland sleuths her way around modern-day Suffolk after the death of one of her authors, plus a 1950s-set dramatisation of that author’s latest detective novel. Both stories are told side by side on screen as actors play dual roles, and Anthony Horowitz’s adaptation of his own novel keeps multiple plates spinning. All that, plus a truly lovely wardrobe worn by the impeccably dressed Lesley Manville in the lead role of Ryeland, and a new instant favourite detective in Tim McMullan’s Poirot-tinged Atticus Pünd. What more could cosy crime fans ask for?
Another series is one thing – a wish that’s already been granted. Expect Moonflower Murders to start filming in Dublin later this year, ready to debut on the BBC...

The Final Girl trope defined characteristics of the last character left alive to confront the killer in horror films, particularly in slasher films. The rise of feminism in the 1970s became a milestone in the genre as the damsel in distress did not need a man to rescue her anymore. Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in the Alien franchise and Jess Bradford (Olivia Hussey) from Black Christmas all portrayed strong female characters who all fought back against their assailant.
