Billion-Dollar Sci-Fi Blockbuster You Never Got Around To Watching Is Now On Disney+
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

Very few movies can earn over a billion dollars, say #1 at the box office for weeks, and still be considered a disappointment. James Cameron’s Avatar franchise has been so successful, with only two movies, that Avatar: Fire and Ash was considered a step back with only $1.5 billion worldwide. Now that it’s available on Disney+ and removed from box office watchers, Avatar: Fire and Ash is about to find a new audience, with no 3D IMAX theater needed.
The Fire Nation Attacked

Avatar: Fire and Ash does for 3D fire effects what Way of Water did for water, and while there’s no denying it looks fantastic, a lot of the impact is lost when it comes to home viewing. That’s where the other part of the franchise comes in. The first Avatar is derided for being Ferngully or Dances with Wolves, but the last two, with more of an emphasis on Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri’s (Zoe Saldana) family, have more in common with the old-school sci-fi of the 80s.
The Na’vi on Pandora were at peace until the Fire Nation attacked. Wait, wrong Avatar, no wait, that’s actually the right Avatar except this time the leader is Varang (Oona Chaplain), giving us our first outright evil Na’vi. She’s “hardened” and willing to go to extreme lengths for her people, but when the end result is joining forces with the humans and accepting a gift of guns from Quaritch (Stephen Lang), it’s evil, not pragmatic.
Varang is the standout of Fire and Ash with Oona Chaplain’s performance electrifying the screen every time she’s in a scene. The rest of the film focuses more heavily on Spider (JAke Champion), Quaritch’s son adopted by Jake Sully, and his growing relationship with Kiri (Sigourney Weaver). Kiri is experiencing some growth and changes herself thanks to an inability to connect with Eywa, Pandora’s version of Gaia. Getting cut off by the God your entire species worships does a number on the teenager’s self-esteem.
Oh, and it all ends with a giant CGI battle that looked amazing on the big screen, and still looks great streaming over Disney+.
What’s Next For Avatar?

Avatar: Fire and Ash isn’t as great as the second film, and it lacks the sense of wonder from the first, but this is James Cameron’s series arriving as a true sci-fi franchise. With three films, it’s no longer a one-off curiosity or the butt of jokes about lacking cultural impact, it’s grand sci-fi with its roots in the family-friendly adventures of 80s Spielberg and Disney. The critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, only 60 percent, makes it the worst of the franchise but the audience score, of 90 percent, is what really matters. With Avatar, by now, you know what you’re getting.
The fourth and fifth movies are currently planned, with, allegedly, the fifth taking the battle for Pandora all the way back to Earth. Avatar 4 is currently planned for December 2029 while Avatar 5 is planned for 2031, which sounds like a made up number and not five years away. You have plenty of time to find three hours to set aside for Avatar: Fire and Ash between now and 2029. If nothing else, it’s worth the watch to experience Varang for yourself.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is now available on Disney+.

How Motherhood ‘Changed’ Brittany Mahomes’ Life
Brittany Mahomes is reflecting on how life has changed since becoming a mom of three to her and husband Patrick Mahomes’ children.
“Being a mom changed so many things in my life and changed how I looked at so many things,” Brittany, 30, told Yahoo Entertainment in an article published on Wednesday, June 24. “It really reshaped and redefined a lot of things in my life.”
She continued, “It’s made me more intentional, more purposeful and, honestly, more motivated to keep going and keep showing my kids that there are no boundaries in front of you. You can achieve anything. You can be a part of anything that you want to. You need to dream big and understand that you have to work hard and do the hard things to do the fun things.”
Brittany explained that she’s now striving to align herself with things that connect to her values and the example she wants to set for her three children.
“I think when you become a mom, you learn to say no to things that aren’t as important and focus on what’s best for your life and your family,” she said.
Brittany and Patrick, 30, became parents when they welcomed daughter Sterling in 2021. The high school sweethearts have since welcomed son Bronze and daughter Golden in 2022 and 2025, respectively.
The pair have since given glimpses of parenthood — and how they balance work with raising their children.
“At the end of the day, my kids are watching me, and I want them to know that I’m working hard,” she told Yahoo!Life in February 2024. “I’m out here doing things as well, because they noticed their dad’s gone all the time. And he’s working hard and doing stuff that he loves. So, I want them to see both of us going out and conquering the world.”
The NFL player, who tied the knot with Brittany in 2022, has also been candid about navigating his career with parenthood.
“Everybody sees the game days. They don’t see the day-to-day grind. They don’t see how you have to manage playing football and being a dad and being a husband,” Patrick confessed during a 2023 episode of Netflix’s Quarterback docuseries, which documented the 2022 NFL season.
While reflecting on one of his team’s losses, Patrick shared that the game isn’t what’s paramount in his life.
“It’s football. You’re gonna have highs. You’re gonna have the lows,” he said at the time. “You put so much into this that you want to win, you want to succeed. And you want to win that Super Bowl at the end of the year. But I have to be a dad too. I have to be a husband.”

Jason Momoa Demands A Raunchy, R-Rated Solo Lobo Film
By Jennifer Asencio
| Published

Even though the movie hasn’t been released yet, the buzz around Supergirl is not positive. Part of this may be the behavior of Milly Alcock during the press tour for the movie, in which she has insulted almost every major demographic that would have been interested with outrageous comments and assertions. Part of it might also be that people who’ve seen advanced screenings claim it bears a lot of similarity in plot to Guardians of the Galaxy. Part of it might just be superhero movie fatigue after decades of being swamped by the X-Men, Avengers, and Justice League universes.
One thing that has been universally acclaimed, even by the naysayers, is the appearance of Jason Momoa as Lobo, the anti-hero mercenary bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia. Not only does the actor perfectly look the part, but his delivery reflects the comic book character extremely well. Momoa recently said in interviews that he and the heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, have met to discuss the character’s future in the cinematic universe.
Three Cheers For Quality Control!!!

“I do not have any interest in making a Lobo PG-13 movie,” Momoa reportedly said. He added that he’d appear as a supporting role in any other DC movie, but a Lobo stand-alone film has to be rated R, according to the actor.
Given that Lobo was originally a villain, and then re-purposed in the 1990s to be a parody of ultra-violent, vigilante Marvel characters like Wolverine and The Punisher, it would be difficult to make a Lobo movie that is rated PG-13, anyway. Lobo bears a lot in common with his comic book mirror, Deadpool (who was likewise originally a villain in his original 1991 introduction), in that he is irreverent, destructive, and rebellious. He is full of sarcastic lines and crude humor that would be too much for a PG-13 movie and trying to tone him down to meet that rating would make the character bland and cartoonish, a pale shade of who he really is.

Momoa’s insistence on an R-rated stand-alone film is therefore a defense of the brand and shows a good understanding of the character he has taken on. It also doesn’t mean we’ll never see Lobo on-screen again. The actor is willing to play the character in any other movie, as long as it doesn’t center around Lobo. It’s understandable why studios may not have wanted Supergirl or other more family-oriented characters to have movies with an R rating, since they are meant as much for the kids as the adults. But Lobo’s appeal is strictly for those kids who grew up reading comics under the shadow of true crusaders like Superman and Batman and, as adults, want a little more flavor to their heroes.
Could Be DC’s Answer To Deadpool
Although Lobo was originally intended to be a parody of the rugged anti-hero, he wound up becoming embraced by fans after his redesign in the 1990s gave him a more biker-oriented look. He became so popular that he was competitor Stan Lee’s favorite DC hero, and while Marvel parodied the character a few times, the comic company never openly mocked him. A Lobo stand-alone film might seem a bit cliché in the wake of so many other characters of his type, but Lobo is the “OG” and Momoa seems ready to carry the character on-screen in a wide variety of projects.

The fact that Momoa seems so perfect for the role is what would elevate a potential Lobo movie into the same popularity as its Marvel rival, the Deadpool franchise. A Lobo movie has all the ingredients that made the Deadpool franchise such a success, offering audiences a welcome reprieve from the sanitized mainstream superhero movies Supergirl seems to be promising. Momoa has the same passion for Lobo that Ryan Reynolds has for Deadpool, and that is reflected in what he is willing to do with the character for the DCU.
If Momoa just tanked any possibility of a stand-alone Lobo movie by insisting that it be rated R, he also did a good thing for audiences. It’s better to not get anything at all than to get a version of Lobo that isn’t true to his wild, rebellious, and violent nature in his own movie. Let him do all that PG-13 stuff for PG-13 superheroes, but let Lobo be Lobo in his own film.

Inside the Hidden Science Behind Partner Smell and Compatibility
More couples are discovering that scent compatibility plays a bigger role in attraction and long-term connection than they realized, with researchers pointing to evolutionary, emotional and even genetic reasons why a partner’s smell can make or break a bond.
Why Does Scent Matter So Much in Romantic Relationships?
Scent matters because it can signal physical health, emotional safety and biological compatibility between partners, according to researchers writing for Psychology Today and Healthline.
In an article for Psychology Today, Ainsley Hawthorn, Ph.D., explained that humans may be wired to read smell as a clue about a potential mate’s well-being. “From an evolutionary perspective, we may be primed to respond to scent because of its role as an indicator of physical health,” she wrote. Hawthorn noted that poor diet and disease can produce foul smells, so being turned off by a partner’s body odor may help steer people away from an unhealthy match. “In the end, disliking a partner’s scent may signal a loss of compatibility and spell trouble for a relationship,” she added.
Can a Partner’s Scent Change How You Feel About Them Over Time?
Yes. Researchers say a partner’s scent can shift from a source of comfort to a source of stress as the relationship itself changes.
In a separate Psychology Today piece, Julieta Zemla pointed to research showing that smelling a romantic partner’s worn clothing can reduce stress responses (Hofer et al., 2018). “Over time, a partner’s scent can become encoded as a signal of safety. But this encoding can change,” Zemla wrote. “If a partner becomes critical, distant, or unreliable, their scent may begin to cue tension rather than comfort.” In other words, the same smell that once felt soothing can start to feel off-putting once trust or closeness erodes.
Is Scent Attraction Influenced by Genetics?
Yes. Genetics help shape how someone smells and how appealing that smell is to a potential partner, on top of personal hygiene.
Writing for Healthline, Dorian Smith-Garcia explained that “current research has shown that humans are influenced by their partner’s scent when determining attractiveness and compatibility.” Smith-Garcia noted that people with the ABCC11 gene, which controls underarm odor and ear wax, “produce chemicals that scent-producing bacteria can feed on.” The takeaway, she wrote, is that “learning that body odor, or the lack of it, is genetically influenced and can also tip the scales during partner selection is an intriguing thought.”
Personal hygiene still plays a major role, but biology may quietly sway who you find irresistible and who you do not.

The Most Violent Dark Fantasy Anime Of The 90s Is Impossible To Stream Today
By Jonathan Klotz
| Updated

30 years ago anime wasn’t mainstream. Malls weren’t filled with stores selling wall scrolls and figurines, and if it wasn’t for Cartoon Network’s Toonami, most people wouldn’t know a Gundam from a Zord. In 1997, no one importing tapes from Japan knew that the greatest dark fantasy anime of all time was found on those tapes. The 25-episode run of Berserk, adapting only one arc from the long-running blockbuster manga, holds up to this day as the pinnacle of the genre, even if we have to rely on physical media to watch it. The 1997 version of Berserk isn’t streaming anywhere after it was replaced by the Golden Age arc films in 2013.
In The Grim Darkness Of Midland There Is Only War

Berserk (1997) starts off with Guts the Black Swordsman taking down a corrupt, very demonic Baron with his impossibly large sword and a cannon hidden in his arm. It’s a very grimdark episode that we learn is set in the present, and the rest of the series is a flashback to Guts time alongside the Band of the Hawk, and its charismatic leader, Griffith. Unlike the first episode, there’s bright colors, traditional fantasy music over scenes of swordsmen, and it’s enough to make you forget that first episode. Until the necklace that Guts ripped off the Baron makes a reappearance, and you realize, this isn’t going to end well.
And it doesn’t. In fact, the series ends on a cliffhanger that wasn’t resolved, in anime anyways, for over 20 years. The Berserk 2016 series picks up where the 1997 series ended with the end of the “Golden Age” arc, but even with all of the advances in animation, it’s inferior to the original run and even the 2013 Golden Age movies. Taking one of the most detailed manga ever and reducing it to a 3D CGI experience that leaves out as much detail as possible was an insult to long-time fans of Guts the Black Swordsman.
The Best Version Of The Blockbuster Manga Epic

Kentaro Miura was the talented creator of the original Berserk manga which started back in 1989. Tragically, he passed away in 2021, leaving his epic story unfinished, and while his childhood friend and talented manga artist Koji Mori has promised to finish the tale according to Miura’s original plans, it’s not the same. Between the modern Berserk series failing to reach the heights of the original, and Miura’s passing, the original 1997 anime will remain the best adaptation of his life’s work.
Which is why it’s especially tragic that Berserk (1997) isn’t available for easy streaming anywhere. Crunchyroll has both the Golden Age films and the 2016 series, but not the 1997 series. The best option to watch one of the 90s greatest anime series remains purchasing the Blu-Ray collection. While the 2013 Golden Age films tell the same story as the 1997 anime, it’s condensed, leaves out both character beats and narrative moments, and there’s something about the grimy animation of the original that perfectly captures the spirit of Guts, Casca, and Griffith none of the modern versions can match.
The Berserk manga has sold over 60 million copies, but it’s a tragedy no one can easily watch the best adaptation of the megaselling blockbuster fantasy epic.
