Jenny, from Palm Springs, California, was introduced in season 1 in 2019 when she moved to India to be with Sumit, who was 30 years younger than her. Jenny had met Sumit on Facebook when he tried to catfish her almost a decade ago. Jenny was lied to by Sumit because he already had a wife in India. His family didn't approve of Jenny being so old. Even now, after it'd been three years since their wedding, Sumit's family don't consider Jenny their own.

As a Dark Lord of the Sith, he took the moniker Darth Tyranus. While this name was an obvious reference to his importance to the Separatists and the oppression he spread throughout the galaxy, the origin of his real name, Dooku, was a much more fitting title for such a villain.

Invincible has continued its rather interesting title trend for its episodes since season 2 began.

Even though the show was ostensibly focused on the nerdy Leonard’s attempts to romance his glamorous neighbor, Penny, Sheldon was central to the appeal of The Big Bang Theory. Jim Parsons established himself as a scene-stealing superstar early on in the show’s run and, by the time The Big Bang Theory ended, his character even got a spinoff prequel. Sheldon’s popularity meant that it would have been impossible to imagine the series without him.

While Luke is only one of the Star Wars original trilogy’s heroes, his journey from farmer to rebel pilot to Jedi Knight makes him the trilogy’s main protagonist for many viewers. Given his importance to the Star Wars saga, it is crucial to get Luke Skywalker’s characterization right; while some tales are controversial, one short story in the current Star Wars canon undoubtedly portrays Luke correctly.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was an essential aspect of what made Harry's story so exciting, with its magical secrets around every corner. By Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hogwarts felt like a second home to fans, and this made Fantastic Beasts' setting in the adult wizarding world a significant disappointment. Future spinoffs would be wise to return to that core concept of a magical school, but with Hogwarts so thoroughly explored, it may be time for a new institution to take center stage.

While the Caped Crusader usually has a reputation for questionable parenting in comic books, the Prime Video original is an interesting take on Bruce and Damian Wayne’s turbulent father-son relationship. Set in a crime-free Gotham, the story occurs one Christmas when Batman is unexpectedly called into action and Damian is left alone at Wayne Manor. Transforming into “Little Batman”, the movie offers a Home Alone-like moment for this cardboard mask-wearing youngster who aspires to be a superhero like his father.

Margaret has always been one of the most compelling characters in The Crown. Her status as the second-born daughter of George VI meant that she had at least a bit more freedom to pursue her desires than her sister, even as she also had to contend with the repressive realities of being in such close proximity to the reigning monarch.

The success of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comes at a difficult time for Disney. The studio giant has seen a disappointing Disney 100th anniversary amid a string of big-budget box office disappointments. From the legacy sequel Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, a lot of seemingly bankable IP failed to connect with audiences in 2023.

Their childlike charm is a reliable source of nostalgia, and although their stories vary, they almost always focus on the importance of kindness and togetherness.

The How to Train Your Dragon franchise has become one of DreamWorks Animation's most popular film series, and now it's the first of them to warrant a live-action remake. The first movie, based on the books by Cressida Cowell, follows a Viking boy named Hiccup, who befriends the injured dragon Toothless and sets out to convince his tribe that dragons aren't the evil and destructive creatures they seem. The live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie will presumably retell that initial animated feature's plot.

The art style is reminiscent of 2010s Cartoon Network and is as hilarious as it is nostalgic, harkening back to Roth’s time on Regular Show.

First appearing in BOOM! Studios’ Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #9, Lord Drakkon was at the center of some of the most popular Power Rangers sagas of recent years. While Drakkon has yet to debut in live-action, Power Rangers’ multiverse stories mean the character could easily be incorporated into the TV shows, particularly in a reboot.

Gandalf the Gray had fallen in Moria while fighting the Balrog but had been resurrected as Gandalf the White. When he was reunited with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas, he seemed not to remember, for a time, that his name was Gandalf and stated instead that he was Saruman "as he should have been." Since Gandalf's death and resurrection were only subtly explained in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the wizard's identity has become a topic of confusion.

It's difficult to tell in the movie since audiences don't have the benefit of Coriolanus' inner dialogue as they do in the book. The story starts out with it being in the Capitol boy's best interest to care for Lucy Gray, but he admits that his feelings extend much further than this by the end. We know from The Hunger Games that President Snow is a despicable dictator who seems entirely incapable of love, and the events of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes don't seem to completely negate this.
