Some year that was.
While 2020 was not everything we initially expected, we did have some pretty special moments this year. From TheDirect.com officially launching, to The Mandalorian crushing its sophomore season, to a new villain announced to return for Tom Holland's Spider-Man 3 just about every week, we have a lot to look back fondly on.
