Ryan O’Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided’s CubbiesCrib. Whether it’s taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what’s going on. Outside of entertainment, he’s a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor’s in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.After HBO Max purged most of its Cartoon Network titles over the past couple years, Tubi has stepped in of late to play host to the banner’s animated classics. Earlier this year, the free ad-supported streaming platform picked up the rights to over 100 shows from the Warner Bros. vaults as part of its “cartoon era,” from Justice League to Dexter’s Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and much more. The move came after the platform found a massive audience for animation upon saving the Looney Tunes library last year, and ever since, the deals have kept coming. Its biggest splash came in March, however, when it greenlit Yokoso Scooby-Doo!, the first-ever Scooby-Doo anime series produced by WB that will take the titular Great Dane and his best pal, Shaggy, on a foodie adventure for the ages in Japan. Frank Welker and Matthew Lillard are even back to lend their voices to the Tubi exclusive.
Until that series arrives, the streamer still has more of the classics to dole out. While Batman: The Brave And The Bold, Krypto the Superdog, Pinky And The Brain, and more will be cycling out of Tubi’s catalog soon, a third wave is coming, starting August 1, to fill that hole. Among those is a former Cartoon Network staple that is now notoriously difficult to stream, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, as well as its holiday special, Billy & Mandy Save Christmas. It’ll be accompanied by another forgotten gem of the era, ¡Mucha Lucha!, and the short-lived but fondly-remembered Freakazoid!, created by the accomplished duo of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
Most of the programs arriving come from the Kids WB block and were previously announced as part of the massive collection acquired by Tubi. However, this wave also included the animated ***Beetlejuice ***series, which capitalized on the success of the Tim Burton classic to become a megahit on Fox Kids following the Deetz family and the Ghost with the Most himself. Ahead of HBO Max’s new Lanterns series, the streamer is also giving viewers a chance to catch up on Green Lantern: The Animated Series, which came from some of the same voices behind the classic Batman and Superman: The Animated Series. Also included are the Looney Tunes: 3D Shorts and Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation Z.E.R.O. to round out the selection.
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
