One Piece's Final Villains

Blackbeard and his crew will very likely be the final villains in One Piece's epic saga. They have been absent from the scenes for a while, with fans speculating about their next action, but the best-selling manga has teased that the Blackbeard Pirates have finally made their move, which will have enormous consequences for the world of One Piece. Fans speculated that Marshal D. Teach's next objective would be the Road Poneglyph owned by Big Mom and kept in her base on Whole Cake Island. With the Empress away to fight alongside Kaido on Wano Island with some of her most powerful children, and her kingdom still reeling from the Straw Hat Pirates' recent blitz to save Sanji, this would be the best time for Blackbeard to invade Whole Cake and steal the Poneglyph. This would put him one step closer to reaching Laugh Tale and becoming the Pirate King. The latest series of One Piece's cover stories (supplemental stories told through the cover pages of select chapters) is set on Whole Cake Island, as it depicts the aftermath of Sanji's escape and the fate of two of his brothers who are being held captive there. The cover story of chapter #1046, A Pair of Intruders on Pudding's Turf, teased fans in a big way, seemingly proving their theories to be true. It shows the denizens of Chocolat Town, one of the cities in Big Mom's kingdom, running away from two shadowy figures, of whom just the feet are being shown.

One Piece's creator Eiichiro Oda could be saving the appearance of the Blackbeard pirates - which will have major repercussions for the rest of the series - for one of the next chapters, when the current fight between Luffy and Kaido, also a major event, will finally come to its epic conclusion. Fans are also trying to corroborate this theory by pointing out similarities between the silhouette shown in the cover story and some members of Blackbeard's crew. Others have brought up inconsistencies in the behavior of Oven, one of Big Mom's sons, throughout the cover stories, which could mean he has been replaced by Catarina Devon, who possesses a Devil Fruit that allows her to mimic other people's appearance. This could have happened after part 7 of the cover story (chapter #1043), where a group of shadowy figures could be (barely) seen in the distance, waiting for Oven as if to ambush him.

The fact that chapter #1047 did not feature a cover story could be a major hint that Oda is waiting for the perfect moment for this big reveal. It is very likely that, towards the end of the manga, Luffy and Blackbeard will be racing towards Laugh Tale and the One Piece treasure waiting there. While the series still has quite a bit left to go, One Piece is undoubtedly reaching its endgame, especially given developments like Luffy unlocking his Gear 5 powers and several big mysteries getting solved. Given all this, it only makes sense for the series to finally hint at a confrontation between Luffy and Blackbeard. The current cover story could have teased the appearance of One Piece's final villains and thus the beginning of the endgame for the best-selling manga in history.

It’s a big week for returning shows across the streaming platforms. We have a Season 2, a Season 4, and a Season 9 revving up for release in the coming days, ranging from an A-list workplace comedy to a period-based awards favorite. There’s also a new series filled to the brim with creative talent, and some small movies from the past year that are just begging to be watched.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
