First Look at Godzilla Battling Mechagodzilla GODZILLA MINUS ONE Themed Ride — GeekTyrant
Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki is working on this attraction, and there's no doubt that fans are hoping this sets up a face off in the Godzilla Minus One sequel.
Here's what the ride's early tease had to say: 'While there are few specifics about the content of the new attraction, the plan is for the scope and scale to surpass that of the original acclaimed theme park experience, offering fans once again an experience unlike anything they've ever witnessed featuring the King of the Monsters.'
No specifics have been shared on this version of Mechagodzilla's origin story, but we know it's entirely Yamazaki's creation. And if it's anything like Minus One, we're in for something intense, grounded, and terrifying. The director himself shared his excitement about this unique Mecha debut:
'I'm thrilled to return to Godzilla's world from the passenger seat. What powerful foes will emerge? Where will this ride take us next? As a ride enthusiast myself, I can't wait for my first spin—and I'm working day and night with our team to make this the most terrifying ride in the world.'
Mechagodzilla, of course, has a deep history in the franchise, starting with 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla , where he was originally an alien weapon. Since then, the mechanical menace has taken on many forms, including the Apex Cybernetics version in Godzilla vs. Kong .
There's no release date yet for the Godzilla Minus One sequel, but production is underway. Between this Mechagodzilla tease, the booming MonsterVerse content from Legendary, and Toho gearing up for its next move, the kaiju arena is about to get a lot more crowded… and a lot more metal.

These are the wildest Pokédex entries I found that you never knew were canon
We've had so many Pokémon games over the years that I think we can lose sight of just how weird these monsters are. We play as kids carrying around super-powered wild animals at the end of the day, but have just come to accept it. The Pokédex has been our tool across all the Pokémon games to catalog every monster we encounter, but it also includes a little snippet of information about them. With over 1,000 Pokémon in the Dex so far, there are a lot of entries to sift through, but a few have stuck out to the community over the years as being strange, surprising, frightening, and just plain bizarre for a kids' game. I've filled out and read through the complete Pokédex to pull out the most unbelievable entries. Magcargo's body temperature is higher than the sun With a name that combines magma and escargo, this lava snail Pokémon looks exactly like you would expect. Coming from Gen 2, this was a decent Fire/Rock type that is the evolution of Slugma. But if you check out the entry for this second form, you will learn that it has an internal body temperature of over 18,000°F (10,000 °C). Those numbers are probably too high to mean anything, so here's some context: lava can reach temperatures of up to 2,200 °F, so it's already orders of magnitude hotter than that. What about the surface of the sun? That measures at around 10,000 degrees, which is still not as hot as this Pokémon's body. The implications of this thing even existing on Earth are astounding. Spoink will die if it stops bouncing I wasn't too familiar with Spoink before checking its entry, but now I don't think I'll ever forget it. This is a pig-like Pokémon that has a pink ball on its head and uses its curly tail to bounce around. And it can never stop bouncing. According to its Pokédex entry, Spoink's bouncing is what keeps its heart beating, meaning it can never stop or it will die. It even keeps bouncing in its sleep. What a cursed existence that would be. Primeape will die of anger We all know the ball of fur and rage that is Primeape, but I bet you didn't know how angry this monkey could get if pushed to the limit. This is another entry that gets overlooked since it is an evolution, but it paints a picture of an animal that has more than a few anger issues. Besides getting pissed and ready to fight for even a stray glance in its direction, it has been known to die from sheer rage. Apparently, this is the only time a Primeape looks calm and peaceful, which makes the whole thing kind of sad. Gardevoir can make a black hole Stop being weird about Gardevoir! Okay, with that out of the way, time to get weird about Gardevoir. According to the entry from Sapphire, Gardevoir has the power to create a small black hole if it feels it or its trainer is threatened enough. Look, I'm no astrophysicist, but I don't think it matters how 'small' a black hole is if it is on Earth. That's apocalyptic power right there and no one seems to care. Alakazam is way smarter than humans One of my favorite evolution lines in the original Pokémon games was Abra, Kedabra, and Alakazam. Little did I know that Alakazam wasn't just psychic, but also a genius the likes of which the world has never known. According to the Dex, an Alakazam has an IQ that can go above 5,000. As of 2025, the highest recorded IQ is 276, which is…quite a bit lower. That kind of makes the whole relationship of using it to fight wild animals feel kind of weird, doesn't it? Shouldn't these Pokémon be running the country or something instead of shooting psychic beams at electric rats for fun? Yveltal will kill us all one day Forget the fact that Magcargo and Gardevoir are planet-ending Pokémon already because Yveltal is the literal end times waiting to happen. This Legendary Pokémon was introduced in Gen 6 and was the mascot for Pokémon Y. The first red flag in the Pokédex entry is that Yveltal can absorb life energy just by spreading its wings and feathers to power itself up. Okay, scary, but not too bad. When a Yveltal is about to die, though, it will steal the life of everything around it to create a cocoon to sleep in. It doesn't say how far this range is, but based on how fast and loose other entries play with scale, I'm going to assume the worst.

Netflix Renews 'One Piece' for Season 3 Before Season 2 Even Drops
Netflix's blockbuster live-action adaptation of One Piece is officially getting a third season before Season 2 has even premiered. The streamer announced the early renewal during the annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, delivering both fresh casting news and a significant behind-the-scenes shift in leadership. The announcement confirmed that Ian Stokes, who served as co-executive producer on Season 1, will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner for Season 3. Stokes' promotion comes after a revolving door of showrunner changes in the series' brief but turbulent history. Production for the third season is slated to begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa. Season 2 Sets Sail in 2026 While Netflix did not drop an exact release date, One Piece Season 2 is officially slated for 2026 under the title 'One Piece: Into the Grand Line.' The streamer also revealed a set of first-look images, teasing the grand scale and treacherous beauty of the next chapter in Luffy's pirate odyssey. According to the official synopsis, Season 2 promises 'fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet' as the Straw Hat crew enters the mythical Grand Line, a stretch of ocean famed for bizarre islands, unpredictable seas, and notorious enemies. 'As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world's greatest treasure, they'll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies,' the description reads. Returning cast members include: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro Emily Rudd as Nami Jacob Romero as Usopp Taz Skylar as Sanji They will be joined by Vincent Regan, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Langley Kirkwood, Jeff Ward, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, McKinley Belcher III, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Ward, and Chioma Umeala. Season 2 will also welcome a slate of high-profile newcomers: David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, and Joe Manganiello as the infamous Mr. 0. A Tumultuous Journey Behind the Camera The live-action One Piece has navigated as much drama off-screen as its characters face on the high seas. The series was originally developed by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda, who co-showran Season 1. Ahead of Season 2, Maeda stepped away, with Joe Tracz stepping into the role of co-showrunner. Owens remained for Season 2 but later confirmed his departure after production wrapped. Season 3 will now be helmed by Tracz and Stokes, marking the third major showrunner reshuffle since the series' inception. A Global Collaboration Anchored by Oda The show is produced in partnership with One Piece's original publisher Shueisha, Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner), and Netflix. Season 2's creative team includes Owens and Tracz as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners, alongside One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda in his role as executive producer. Additional executive producers include Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements for Tomorrow Studios, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe, and Maeda. With Season 2's massive expansion into the Grand Line and Season 3 already on the horizon, Netflix appears fully committed to making One Piece one of its flagship global franchises, even as the series continues to weather waves of creative change behind the scenes.
