The 20-year anniversary of Doomsday is driving a wave of nostalgia and rewatch activity across the fandom; anniversary moments are the highest-engagement windows for a fan app

Value is anchored to discrete anniversary spikes (Doomsday 20th in June 2026); without a continuous content pipeline covering new releases and ongoing arcs, usage will decay sharply post-event.
