Cobra Kaiended after six seasons in February 2025, with Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence finally putting their differences aside to teach karate together. It was the perfect ending for the two characters, who’d been rivals in one form or another ever since 1984’sThe Karate Kid. However, this was the ending to a very differentCobra Kaifrom the show’s first two seasons.

However, the film is important for thefuture of the MCUin a few ways, asit sets up the franchise’s New Avengers, who will next appear inAvengers: Doomsday. Besides setting up the debut of the Fantastic Four, the New Avengers, a conflict between the team and Captain America’s Avengers, and more, I believe thatThunderboltsmight connect toSpider-Man: Brand New Dayin a huge way....

I’ll take two of each In the ’80s and ’90s, video game companies were all about appealing to kids, at least more so than they are now. What better way to get parents on board with that then by adapting bible stories into electronic entertainment? This gave rise to the company Wisdom Tree, who made a bunch of unlicensed NES and SNES games for consumers to buy and learn about the Bible with....
