    First up, we have some leaked news about the Scooby-Doo and DC crossover movie that was canceled by Warner Bros. Discovery. Despite the cancellation, the movie has become available online, causing a stir among fans. We'll discuss the implications of this leak and what it could mean for the future of the franchise.

    Additionally, Yugipedia, the popular online database for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, accidentally deleted half of its primary database. We'll discuss the potential consequences of this error and how it affects the community.
    Lastly, we'll dive into Den of Geek's recent article where a Marvel director compares Fantastic Four to Star Trek. We'll examine the similarities and differences between the two franchises and whether or not this comparison holds up.
