Arnold Schwarzenegger involved in a car crash accident, escapes unhurt
]
Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger was involved in a multi-car crash on Friday evening in Los Angeles, California, leaving one person injured. The 74-year-old actor was driving a black GMC Yukon SUV back home in Brentwood. As the Terminator star was about to turn onto a busy Sunset Boulevard, he had a head on collision with a red Prius. The impact of the car crash deployed the airbags in both the Black Yukon SUV as well as the Prius. Schwarzenegger’s SUV ended up on top of the Prius and also rolled onto a white Porsche Cayenne that was right behind. The driver in the Prius, a woman, sustained injuries. She was reportedly bleeding from her head and was rushed by an ambulance to the hospital for further diagnosis.
The law enforcement is looking into how the accident occurred, but no tickets have been issued to both parties as of now. According to some reports, Schwarzenegger allegedly tried to make a turn when the arrow was still red, which resulted in what would have been a fatal crash. Photos from the scene of the accident showed several cars being damaged, with the former Governor of California later being seen alongside fitness personality Jake Steinfeld. Onlookers claimed Schwarzenegger was unharmed and well. He was said to be showing grave concern for the injured woman and wanted to check on her well-being, while also staying throughout the dilemma until the end.
On the work front, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has headlined several global box office blockbusters in the course of his glorious career, will next be seen in the martial arts comedy film Kung Fury 2, which is scheduled to open in theatres this year. The beloved superstar’s last major big screen appearance was in 2019 in the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate.
10 Bad Anime That Get Good In Season 2
]
Across all forms of entertainment – film, TV, anime, or games – the consensus is that the original is always best. It doesn’t matter if it stems from a nostalgic standpoint or whether the first adaptations are deemed objectively better. In most cases, production veers too far away from the source material which angers the diehard fans.
RELATED: 5 Anime That Deserve A Second Season (And 5 That Didn’t)
Whatever the reason, it’s notoriously rare to find shows that fans say are better as time goes on. The beginning is the worst part. Most shows with a bad start don’t have the luxury of a second season to improve. Every now and again, an anime that started badly is graced with a chance to improve.
10 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Finally Shows New Content
There aren’t many instances where a second adaptation is as popular, if not more, than its predecessor. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the second attempt of the 2003 anime that made a mark on the world. Brotherhood held more faithful to the manga and directly followed the original events.
The beginning of Brotherhood felt weak and rushed. Almost everything in its first season was already covered in the original adaptation. When the new content gets shown, along with improved art and graphics, is when Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood stands out.
9 JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Starts Very Slowly
Everybody loves a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and this is where JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure thrives. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure shot to worldwide stardom thanks, in part, to its intense absurdity. A modern classic, the franchise has rightfully earned a dedicated following. Most fans unanimously agree that JoJo’s gets off to a slow start.

JoJo’s begins as a Victorian slice of life story, but there’s no indication as to what’s in store. Most fans agree that the Phantom Blood arc is the worst part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Jonathon Joestar is a boring, generic protagonist. The consensus is that Part 3 is where the anime hits its stride.
8 Inuyasha Seems Cliché
Inuyasha is romance-adventure anime following a fifteen-year-old who’s transported back in time. There, Kagome meets Inuyasha, a half-human-half-dog demon. Inuyasha is a relatively long series with a minimum of 150 episodes. Like most stories with a similar premise, the beginning is far from exciting.
It starts out seemingly as nothing but a cliché Isekai story where a human ends up in a world they don’t belong and befriends a local protagonist. All of this changes, however, once the action scenes start, and the romance is further explored. Most fans agree that Inuyasha Kenketsu-Hen is much better than the first season.
7 Seven Deadly Sins Felt Shallow Early On
Set in the European Middle Ages land of Britannia, Seven Deadly Sins follows the main characters – a group of knights that each represent one of the deadly sins. The team was framed for plotting a coup, and are on a mission to clear their names and to liberate the land from the Holy Knights.
Seven Deadly Sins begins sloppily, feeling shallow with a childish art style. Originally, there was nothing that made Seven Deadly Sins stand out from any other one of its genres. Seven Deadly Sins only seemed to boast overpowered main characters and useless female characters. Finally, things got serious, and the emotional and mental turmoil tormenting the characters added a much-needed depth to the show.
6 Magi: The Labyrinth Of Magic Needed Better Action Sequences
Magc: The Labyrinth Of Magic is loosely based on Arabian Nights (1001 Nights), the Arabic folktales from the Islamic Golden Age. Labyrinth Of Magic is set in a recreation of the Old World. Its different regions and nations share similarities with their real-life counterparts. It has multiple well-known stories, such as Aladdin and Sinbad The Sailor.

Fans of Labyrinth Of Magic unanimously agree that the second season, Magi: The Kingdom Of Magic is far superior to the original. This is mostly thanks to the better action sequences and a greater impact on the story as a whole.
5 Aria Was Initially Average But Became Something Magnificent
Aria is a futuristic story set in New-Venue on a terraformed Mars – now Aqua. Aria follows the main protagonist, Akari, who begins her journey of becoming a gondolier tour guide with one of the most prestigious companies in the city. Set in a slice-of-life story style, viewers get to explore the world along with Akari.
Aria, initially, was rather slow and painful to watch. Aria’s second and third season developed the anime into a highly successful series. Aria began as an average show with nothing to write home about, to something truly magnificent that has kept the franchise alive.
4 Once Steins;Gate Finds Its Footing, It Becomes One Of The Best
A sci-fi time travel show is always going to get confusing and disorientating, it’s just the nature of the genre. Fans love a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is something Steins;Gate fails at.
Initially, Steins;Gate tries too hard to be smart, almost to a pretentious level, and settles for the generic young-genius tropes. The first 10 episodes are a struggle to get through, with vapid characters, a nonexistent plot, and mediocre animation. Once Steins;Gate finds its footing, however, the story becomes one of the best, proven by its immense popularity.
3 Toradora! Began Predictable, But Became An Emotional Romance Anime For The Ages
Toradora! is coming-of-age story about a ragtag group of teenagers with conflicting personalities. Toradora! is a romantic comedy anime that mainly follows Ryuuji Takasu, a timid and gentle student with an intimidating face. The story also follows Taiga Aisaka, who is small, cute, and has a fiery personality. Toradora! takes a turn when they realize they both have a crush on each other’s best friend.
RELATED: 10 Bad Anime That Get Good By The End Of The Season
Slapstick comedy, height jokes, and boring romance tropes are the first things watchers notice about Toradora!, and it’s hard to endure. After this though, the writing improves and many dimensions are added to the characters to make Toradora! an emotional romance anime for the ages.
2 Clannad Is The Opening Act, But After Story Steals The Show
A gut-wrenching tear-jerker for the ages, Clannad is a widely known anime that touches on life’s trials and tribulations expertly. Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent with no aspirations. He ends up befriended by a young girl named Nagisa Furukawa. He finds out Nagisa’s dream is to revive the school’s drama club and decides to help her achieve this goal.
The first season of Clannad wasn’t necessarily bad, but after the release of Clannad: After Story, it becomes evident which one is superior. It feels like Clannad becomes the opening act while After Story is the showstopper.
1 Gintama Didn’t Introduce Characters Well, But Eventually Gets Into A Good Rhythm
Gintama follows aliens called “Amanto,” which have invaded Earth and have taken over feudal Japan. This lead to a ban on swords and samurais being treated as outcasts. Gintama follows eccentric samurai Gintoki Sakata as he works odd jobs around Japan with his friends to pay the bills.
Gintama has one of the most painstakingly slow beginnings of all anime, with the first two episodes being a bombardment of character introductions. It also ruins a lot of serious and dark moments by trying to make itself more ridiculous during those scenes. After the first season, Gintama becomes hilarious and explores dark and mature elements well.

The Walking Dead’s Walls of Alexandria Are Coming Down
]
The walls of the Alexandria Safe-Zone will soon fall as The Walking Dead nears the end of filming on its Final Season. Since Season 5, the Gin Property in Senoia, Georgia, has served as the walled-off community of Alexandria, the home of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group of zombie apocalypse survivors. According to Georgia newspaper The Newnan Times-Herald, the real-life housing development that has served as a live set for The Walking Dead since 2014 will be “fully restored” as all traces of the AMC zombie drama are expected to be removed by June 30.
The Walking Dead is in the last stretch of filming its final Season 11 episodes and expects to wrap on the series finale by mid-March.
The Newnan Times-Herald reports location manager Michael Riley of Walking Dead production company Stalwart Films requested, and was granted, an extension on the closure of Morgan Street through late June. The road has been closed to through traffic on each end of the Gin Property since September 2014.
Filming will be completed this spring “if all goes well and COVID doesn’t get in the way,” Riley said. The extension to keep Morgan Street closed through summer “allows us, probably, enough time to clean things up,” The Newnan Times-Herald quotes Riley saying.
Scott Tigchelaar, developer of the Gin Property, confirmed all sets are to be removed, the landscaping redone, and the development “fully restored” when The Walking Dead has finished filming its 24-episode Season 11. This includes the removal of the iconic windmill, which caught fire during a violent storm and walker invasion of Alexandria in October’s Season 11 Part 1 finale “For Blood.”
AMC Networks will restore 10 homes built on the Gin Property for the production. These houses will be put on the market by May or June, according to the Times-Herald.
Explaining the decision not to build facade “set homes,” Tigchelaar told the Times-Herald, “AMC wanted to be more environmentally conscious and leave a lasting legacy to the show by building real, permanent homes which might be sold at the end of production. As a result, fans of the show will forever be able to visit a little bit of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, drive by their favorite character’s house from the show…or perhaps even purchase and live in it.”
In-universe, a compromised Alexandria is on the verge of collapse after its devastation during The Whisperer War. The fate of Alexandria will be revealed in Parts 2 and 3 of The Walking Dead: The Final Season, continuing with eight new episodes in February and concluding with another eight later in 2022.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season Part 2 premieres Sunday, February 20 at 9:00 pm ET/8c on AMC. New episodes will continue to be available one week early beginning February 13 on AMC+.

‘Moon Knight’ Trailer Brutally Reveals Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector Vigilante
]
With another month comes another Marvel show on Disney+. After Hawkeye wrapped up teasing the superhero name of Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), fans started getting excited all over again. This time, Marvel Comics’ Moon Knight is the star, played by Oscar Isaac. While the Moon Knight trailer only gives fans a taste of what’s to come, fans already buzz with excitement. The Moon Knight release date was revealed as March 30, 2022.

Marvel’s ‘Moon Knight’ trailer revealed Oscar Isaac’s brutal vigilante coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
While many Marvel heroes pull their punches from the looks of the Moon Knight trailer, Marc Spector holds nothing back. And fans already got a peek at some elements, like Ethan Hawke’s character, “who is said to be inspired by David Koresh,” according to IGN.
Some fans have criticized the Marvel Cinematic Universe for shying away from more violent heroes nowadays, with the Netflix Daredevil Kingpin posing much less of a threat in Hawkeye. However, even the Moon Knight teaser trailer showed the vigilante wailing away on an enemy.
Oscar Isaac transforms from Marc Spector into Moon Knight with writhing bandages wrapping around his body in the trailer. Pyramids and Egyptian imagery swarm each corner, seeming to line up with Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight’s, comic origins with the god Khonshu. Between the Eternals, Khonshu, and the Black Panther god, Bast, Thor has some competition.
The Moon Knight trailer suggests that the show will dive into the split personalities that Marc Spector deals with, even switching in the middle of situations.
Who is Moon Knight in Marvel Comics?
Marvel pulls Moon Knight from comic page to Disney+, following the Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld show, Hawkeye. And the Moon Knight trailer has fans ready to know more.
In Marvel Comics, the vigilante Moon Knight was a CIA agent and Marine Marc Spector. He worked as a mercenary, but the career brought him across Raul Bushman in Egypt. In a job to raid an Egyptian archaeological site, Bushman mortally wounded the future Moon Knight.
He was taken before an idol of the Egyptian god Khonshu and nearly died. However, he struck a deal with Khonshu. The god would save his life in exchange for his services.
This led to the development of Marc Spector’s Moon Knight persona. Under the names Steven Grant and Jake Lockley, Moon Knight set up a network for funds and information as he started battling crime.
He has gone on to team up with the Avengers and Spider-Man (who often crosses paths with New York heroes, like Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home).
What story plots does the ‘Moon Knight’ trailer hint at?
The most important part of the Moon Knight trailer is whether or not it revealed any major hints at the plot to the Disney+ show. It managed to avoid any leaks, unlike a Black Panther 2 leak.
The Moon Knight trailer seems to hint at a huge Egypt connection, in addition to Marc Spector struggling with the “voices in his head.” In the comics, Moon Knight makes up just one of Marc’s personalities. The trailer alludes to him dealing with sleep troubles.

The Moon Knight trailer excited fans with its heavy topics and intense scenes. It might mark a return to the more violent levels of Marvel like the Netflix series.
And with Hawkeye taking place in New York, fans wonder if Kate Bishop or Florence Pugh’s Yelena could encounter Moon Knight. Moon Knight releases on March 30, 2022.

Spider-Man is bigger than ever, with No Way Home similarly breaking the box office to the tune of $1.6 billion. Right ahead of its success, Sony gave fans their first look at the highly anticipated Into the Spider-Verse sequel. Across the Spider-Verse Part One is coming later this year, setting the stage for one of the most epic superhero adventures yet. Enough details have emerged to piece together the plot and characters. Express.co.uk has all the details on the upcoming Marvel film.
What is the release date of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse? A sequel to Into the Spider-Verse was first confirmed in 2019, just one year after it dropped. Directors Lord and Miller shared a teaser poster of the upcoming film, then simply titled Into the Spider-Verse 2. It also confirmed the film would be hitting a 2022 premiere date, which at the time felt like a lifetime away. It’s flown by though, and now the sequel is just months away. Originally, it was aimed to drop on April 8, 2022, but it was pushed back due to the pandemic. Finally, Sony confirmed October 7, 2022 as the official release date, with no signs currently pointing to a further delay. While it was confirmed in 2019, production didn’t commence until June of 2020. As for Part Two, no concrete release date has been confirmed, though it is aiming for 2023. It is estimated to hit a late 2023 date, with October being a safe bet again. READ MORE: Kurt Cobain’s daughter opens up on her favourite Nirvana track

Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld are both reprising their roles as Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, respectively. They aren’t alone either, as Jake Johnson is also swinging back into the fold as Peter B Parker. Johnson said: “I would like to know what happens with Peter B Parker. I think the way his journey ended in the first movie was very open-ended. And so, when I got word that they were working on a deal and figuring it all out, I thought ‘I truly can’t wait to see what the writers came up with’. I’m curious to see what his home life is like.” (via. The Movie Dweeb) Mile’s mother Rio is also set to return with Luna Lauren Velez confirming her involvement last year. For now, they are the only confirmed returning cast, though it is safe to say that more members of the Spider-Family are likely to return.
Spider-Man: Gwen Stacy will return in the sequel
As for newcomers, the first is Oscar Isaac as Miguel O’Hara aka Spider-Man 2099. He was shown in the post-credits scene of the original film, though he was not involved in its plot. He will have a prominent role in the sequel but it came with one condition. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lord and Miller said: “Oscar Isaac has one condition of taking the gig: ‘Don’t make me boring.’ He’s made a really complex character out of Miguel O’Hara, and he’s definitely not boring." Finally, Insecure’s Issa Rae has also been confirmed for the cast, though her role has not been revealed. It is rumoured that she is voicing Jessica Drew – a female clone of Peter Parker.

Is there a trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Man? Yes, Sony dropped the first trailer just last month, December 2021, giving fans a glimpse of Miles’ next adventure. Chilling out in his room enjoying listening to Post Malone again, Gwen makes a surprise visit. They are both visibly older when compared to the first film, so it is likely a similar amount of time passed in-universe as it has between releases. After Gwen encourages Miles to come out with her, the trailer cuts to Spider-Man falling through a strange new world. In what looks to be an Indian-inspired megacity, he is confronted by Miguel.
