As we near the end of the year, it’s hard not to be surprised by exactly how much was packed into the last 12 months. With theaters open, we got big budget movies at a remarkable clip. There were also a number of big time corporate shake ups, Elon Musk buying/ruining Twitter, the loss of some beloved stars, and even an Avatar movie.
That’s right, it may have taken 13 years, but we actually finally got to see Avatar 2! We also got a new Batman film, more Marvel movies than we can count, an upcoming relaunch of the DC movies universe, and huge creative changes at WWE.
