With Daniel Craig bowing out after his James Bond was blasted into the afterlife at the end of 2023's "No Time to Die," the question of who will take on the iconic role next has been following the franchise for quite some time. In 2024, as our cultural norms shift and evolve, there's no reason why the super spy couldn't be played by anybody — maybe even, dare I suggest, a woman?
Prior to the release of "No Time to Die," the internet was abuzz with rumors that British actress Lashana Lynch would be the next 007. When the film arrived, it was revealed that Lynch's character, Nomi, did indeed inherit the codename from her predecessor. Later in the film, however, she requests that the title be given back to Bond, after which she takes on the codename 005. So, we didn't get a female Bond, but we sort of did for...

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is arguably the most renowned shonen anime series in anime history, as it was a part of “The Big Three” comprising Naruto and Bleach. Ever since the first episode of the anime was aired on television, it gained immense love from the viewers and fans of the manga. Even in 2024, the anime series continues to gain more and more viewers as they continue to tell the story of Monkey D. Luffy, and his Straw Pirate crew.
The Straw Hat Pirate Crew
The series has numerous strong points like its well-written characters, storyline, well-choreographed fight scenes, and most important of all its animation. However, an AI artist claimed that they could do the job better than the animators working in the show, until José B. Rebolledo, one of the animators of One Piece silenced him on social media.

One Piece anime is currently focusing on Blackbeard Pirates and their menace against other prominent characters from the series like Trafalgar D. Law and Cracker from the Big Mom Pirates. While Blackbeard and Burgess are seen fighting against Law, a flashback shows Cracker being attacked by Van Augur and the newly appointed member of the Blackbeard Pirates: Aokiji Kuzan.

This also comes as a shock because he achieved something that even Gear 4 Luffy couldn’t do. During the Whole Cake Island arc, Luffy had a lot of trouble beating Cracker, but Van Augur...

Marshall D. Teech, popularly known as Blackbeard, is one of the most mysterious characters in One Piece. Since his debut, there have been several mysteries that have led the fans to give birth to new theories surrounding his nature. The captain of the Blackbeard Pirates has always succeeded in achieving everything that he ever wished, either by hook or crook.

Danny Elfman, one of Hollywood’s most prolific musicians and composer of “The Simpsons” theme and countless iconic movie scores, was sued for partial nonpayment of an $830,000 settlement made in 2018 by a female fellow composer who had accused him of sexual harassment the year before.
Elfman has sternly denied any wrongdoing, and characterized the relationship to Rolling Stone, which first reported the lawsuit and settlement, as a friendship and mentorship that went sideways when the 70-year-old rejected the now 35-year-old woman’s romantic advances. The Wednesday filing in Los Angeles Superior Court seeks injunctive relief for partial nonpayment to the tune of about $85,000 to a charitable organization for sexual assault victims that the woman set up after they forged the agreement five years ago.
The woman, identified by Rolling Stone as Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Nomi Abadi, accused Elfman in a 2017 police report of masturbating in front of her and...
