There’s something about football movies that just hits harder in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. Whether they’re about underdogs, broken teams, impossible comebacks, or the weight of expectation, these films tap into the emotion behind the sport in ways real games sometimes can’t. Some are inspirational, some are messy, and some are more Hollywood than football, but all of them understand why the game matters. With kickoff approaching, these are the football movies worth revisiting, ranked by how well they capture the heart, drama, and spirit of the sport.

Nobody stays dead forever in comic books. Nobody but Karen Page, apparently. Page died in a 1999 issue of Daredevil (written by Kevin Smith) and she’s stayed that way, as nobody cares enough about poor Karen to resurrect her. Deborah Ann Woll, who portrayed Karen Page for three seasons on the Netflix series Daredevil, had the opposite problem. She cared too much about Karen. She cared so much, in fact, that when Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane approached her about reprising her role in the MCU, she initially turned it down.

During a Daredevil panel at the Rhode Island Comic Con, Woll admitted that, unlike her fellow panelists and castmates Wilson Bethel and Vincent D’Onofrio, she wasn’t so quick to agree to return for Born Again. “I have a lot of loyalty to this character and this story,” she explained, before adding, “on a personal level… I was a little bit hurt to have not been included the first time around.” That is, until Scardapane laid out his vision.

First introduced alongside Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson in 1964’s Daredevil #1, by Bill Everett and Stan Lee, Karen Page was a key part of the character’s supporting cast. However, by the time she had died in 1999, Karen was a fairly minor character in the series, and one not treated very well by writers.

In contrast, Page was an integral part of the Netflix series. First introduced as a secretary who gets caught in Wilson’s Fisk’s machinations, and later an employee of Nelson and Murdock, Page soon becomes a more complicated character who has her own storylines, separate from the title superhero. Much of the character’s success owes to Woll’s portrayal of Karen as a person who works through her past issues and, crucially, knows how to walk away from Matt’s self-destructive behavior.

Woll and her co-star Elden Henson made Karen and Foggy into fan-favorites. Yet, the original version of Daredevil: Born Again did not include those characters, one of many decisions that worried fans and stars Charlie Cox and D’Onofrio. When the show retooled midway through production and Scardapane came aboard as show runner, Karen and Foggy were reintegrated into the show… as long as Woll agreed.

“Darrio had some great ideas, and he really sold me on the story,” Woll recalled, which brought back her initial interest in Karen. “Even when I first got the job back in 2014, I needed to know who this character is,” she told the panel attendees. “Because if she’s just going to be someone’s girlfriend, I don’t want to do it.”

In the case of Born Again, Woll learned that Karen would indeed be absent from much of the middle part of the series, as Scardapane and directors Justin Benson and Aaron Scott Moorhead needed to use footage that was already shot for the show. However, she would be a key part in the first episode, in which Bullseye kills Foggy, driving Matt to run from his friends and his duties as Daredevil. Further, Karen would be an important character in the final episodes, helping Matt as he resumes his vigilante identity.

With Woll back for Daredevil: Born Again season 2, which Scardapane gets to produce without any of the previous showrunners’ baggage, Karen will likely have even more to do. This second season follows Matt and Karen as they put together a resistance against Mayor Fisk, who has instituted martial law on New York City.

Things may not be going great for Matt and Karen, but for herself, Woll is optimistic. “I’m glad to be back, it all worked out,” she concluded. And even if that means more suffering for Karen, at least it also means that somebody cares about her.

There was a time when bad CGI could completely pull you out of a movie. You might have been invested in the story, the characters, even the performances, until a digital creature showed up that looked like a video game cutscene from five years ago. These are the films where the plot actually had something going for it, but the visual effects aged fast, missed the mark, or overwhelmed the story in the worst way. Great ideas, decent scripts, and then CGI that made you question every creative decision on screen.

Every time a show gets cancelled, the internet reacts as if something sacred was taken away. Petitions pop up, cast reunions are demanded, and fans insist the series was misunderstood or ahead of its time. Sometimes that’s true. But other times, the obsession lasts far longer than the show ever deserved. Not every cancellation is a tragedy, and not every unfinished story needs revival. These are the cancelled shows that fans are still clinging to years later, even though the hype has far outlived what the series actually delivered.

There is strange merchandise, and then there is merch that makes you stop and ask, “who approved this?” Over the years, movies, celebrities, brands, and franchises have all pushed products that felt too weird, too specific, or too unnecessary to ever succeed. And yet, somehow, they did. Whether it was fueled by fandom, irony, or pure curiosity, these items found buyers despite making absolutely no sense on paper. This list looks at the merch that should never have worked, but sold anyway.

Nobody stays dead forever in comic books. Nobody but Karen Page, apparently. Page died in a 1999 issue of Daredevil (written by Kevin Smith) and she’s stayed that way, as nobody cares enough about poor Karen to resurrect her. Deborah Ann Woll, who portrayed Karen Page for three seasons on the Netflix series Daredevil, had the opposite problem. She cared too much about Karen. She cared so much, in fact, that when Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane approached her about reprising her role in the MCU, she initially turned it down.

During a Daredevil panel at the Rhode Island Comic Con, Woll admitted that, unlike her fellow panelists and castmates Wilson Bethel and Vincent D’Onofrio, she wasn’t so quick to agree to return for Born Again. “I have a lot of loyalty to this character and this story,” she explained, before adding, “on a personal level… I was a little bit hurt to have not been included the first time around.” That is, until Scardapane laid out his vision.

First introduced alongside Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson in 1964’s Daredevil #1, by Bill Everett and Stan Lee, Karen Page was a key part of the character’s supporting cast. However, by the time she had died in 1999, Karen was a fairly minor character in the series, and one not treated very well by writers.

In contrast, Page was an integral part of the Netflix series. First introduced as a secretary who gets caught in Wilson’s Fisk’s machinations, and later an employee of Nelson and Murdock, Page soon becomes a more complicated character who has her own storylines, separate from the title superhero. Much of the character’s success owes to Woll’s portrayal of Karen as a person who works through her past issues and, crucially, knows how to walk away from Matt’s self-destructive behavior.

Woll and her co-star Elden Henson made Karen and Foggy into fan-favorites. Yet, the original version of Daredevil: Born Again did not include those characters, one of many decisions that worried fans and stars Charlie Cox and D’Onofrio. When the show retooled midway through production and Scardapane came aboard as show runner, Karen and Foggy were reintegrated into the show… as long as Woll agreed.

“Darrio had some great ideas, and he really sold me on the story,” Woll recalled, which brought back her initial interest in Karen. “Even when I first got the job back in 2014, I needed to know who this character is,” she told the panel attendees. “Because if she’s just going to be someone’s girlfriend, I don’t want to do it.”

In the case of Born Again, Woll learned that Karen would indeed be absent from much of the middle part of the series, as Scardapane and directors Justin Benson and Aaron Scott Moorhead needed to use footage that was already shot for the show. However, she would be a key part in the first episode, in which Bullseye kills Foggy, driving Matt to run from his friends and his duties as Daredevil. Further, Karen would be an important character in the final episodes, helping Matt as he resumes his vigilante identity.

With Woll back for Daredevil: Born Again season 2, which Scardapane gets to produce without any of the previous showrunners’ baggage, Karen will likely have even more to do. This second season follows Matt and Karen as they put together a resistance against Mayor Fisk, who has instituted martial law on New York City.

Things may not be going great for Matt and Karen, but for herself, Woll is optimistic. “I’m glad to be back, it all worked out,” she concluded. And even if that means more suffering for Karen, at least it also means that somebody cares about her.

Daredevil: Born Again season two streams on Disney+ on March 24, 2026.
