    The Daniels have turned Jennifer Coolidge into a sentai-slaying supervillain.

    Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Daniels and The White Lotus’ Jennifer Coolidge are all in the midst of major moments right now that have many people wondering what their next big projects are going to be.

    But rather than going literally big in a new photo spread for W Magazine, the blockbuster co-directing duo opted for a more stripped down, apocalypse-chic vibe with a visual story framing Coolidge as the ultimate destroyer of sentai teams and giant tokusatsu monsters alike.

    Please let Jonathan Majors explain how Creed III has the heart of shonen anime.

    Creed III director Michael B. Jordan has been and continues to be a big-ol anime nerd, and in a new Polygon interview, he gets into how Naruto inspired one of the pivotal fights in his new film.

    But while Jordan may be quick to wax poetic about the nuances between Dragon Ball Z and My Hero Academia, his co-star Jonathan Majors has come to understand something about shonen stories that we should all take to heart: they’re derivative.

    The Pokémon anime’s new professor is a man about town.

    Pokémon Scarlet and Violet both have their own version-specific Professors who become important parts of the games’ stories.

    But the new upcoming Pokémon anime set to debut this year will introduce a third — Friede, a man partnered with a Pikachu wearing a captain’s hat — who will join the series’ protagonists on their adventures, and maybe have something to do with how the group manages to travel around the entire Pokémon world.
