Rocky V was a huge mistake. After four successful, crowd-pleasing movies about Italian-American boxer Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone pressed his luck with a fifth one released in 1990 that everyone hated, mostly thanks to the fact that it was about Rocky training a punk kid nobody liked. (Rocky was also kind of a jerk in the movie, which undercut this charm from the first four films.) For years, that’s how the Rocky franchise sat: a perfect first movie, three beloved sequels, and one universally-despised dumpster fire. source https://www.polygon.com/creed-trilogy-leaving-netflix-action-movie-august-2026/

If you pay attention to comics communities online, there are a few dozen out-of-context scenes and panels that are in constant circulation. Every year or two, someone's just seen some joke for the first time, so they reshare it and that sends it around again, like the time Deadpool landed a Shoryuken on Kitty Pryde. One of the go-to memed scenes for fans of DC Comics is from the late Dwayne McDuffie's run on Justice League of America in the early late 2000s. Vixen (Mari McCabe) is suddenly confronted by one of the worst superheroes anyone's ever seen: the Brown Bomber , an unnamed bald white guy who can transform into a superhuman Black man by shouting the words "Black Power!" Vixen is, naturally, appalled. source https://www.polygon.com/black-lightning-leaving-netflix-superhero-sci-fi-action-series/

Quiet, contemplative moments like these keep The Dog Stars grounded and accessible throughout its sprawling post-apocalyptic story — even as director Ridley Scott piles on epic action set pieces and surreal, surprising sequences that sometimes push the film from prestige drama into absurdist spectacle. source https://www.polygon.com/the-dog-stars-review-ridley-scott/

Somewhere on your hard drive, a small, wide-eyed creature named Shade will keep standing alone in the dark, waiting on a ticking timer to go down, whether you’re there, watching as well, or not. After you download The Longing , this will be your fate (and Shade’s) for over one real-time calendar year. Shade serves an underground king who has fallen into a 400-day sleep to recover his lost strength. Shade’s only job, and his entire reason for existing, is to wake the king when the time comes. He’s a sentient alarm clock, and now, so are you. source https://www.polygon.com/the-longing-steam/

Critical Role Campaign 4 has been an emotional rollercoaster since it debuted in October 2025. There have been epic battles, incredible game-shattering moments, shenanigans involving bikinis made out of souls, and, as expected in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, plenty of death. With 13 players, a fresh West Marches-style setup, and Brennan Lee Mulligan as Dungeon Master, it’s no surprise that Critical Role’s latest campaign features many crazy and unpredictable moments. source https://www.polygon.com/critical-role-campaign-4-5-best-moments/

Star Wars returned to movie theaters in May after a six-year drought with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu , a big-screen continuation of the beloved three-season Disney Plus series . And while The Mandalorian and Grogu is currently in the top-10 highest grossing movies of 2026, it seems like legions of Star Wars fans have been content to wait for a home release . source https://www.polygon.com/star-wars-mandalorian-and-grogu-digital-release-date-4k-blu-ray/
