GeekCypha 461 Bootleg Anime Struggles, World Cup 2026, Toxic Protagonists & Resurrecting Stan Lee Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com Description: This week on GeekCypha , we’re breaking down the upcoming World Cup 2026 and looking back at the chaotic struggle of trying to watch anime in the 90s and early 2000s. We also unpack the collective obsession with unreliable narrators, toxic protagonists, and the ongoing debate of separating the art from the artist. Shifting to film, we spotlight the underrated horror movies that are quietly making serious bank at the box office right now. To close things out, the news and rumors segment breaks down the Prime Video’s new trailer for The Boys prequel, Vought Rising , the deeply polarizing ElevenLabs AI deal bringing Stan Lee’s voice and likeness back to life, and how Sony’s upcoming PS5 superhero fighting game Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is officially crossing over to take over Marvel Comics with an aggressive rollout of special variant covers.
