Marvel Has Animated Movies Coming Out As Well!
For some reason, Marvel continues to try and compete with DC at animated movies. I never watched that Iron Man/Hulk team-up, but I understand it was an abomination fit only for stupid children. Welp, Marvel is trying again with the laboriously named Marvel’s Avengers Confidential: Black Widow and Punisher.
It looks maybe OK. I like the anime idea, maybe. It’s hard to say at this point. The trailer doesn’t really show much. The story is that Punisher gets taken into SHIELD custody after he interferes in a mission. From there, Punisher and Black Widow get sent on a new mission to take down some bad guys named Leviathan. It sounds about as cheesy as that Iron Man/Hulk team-up. And clearly it’s not based on any existing comic book. So really…what the heck is Marvel thinking?
Batman and Son is the Next DC Animated Movie
They found the absolute worst voice actor for Damian. Jeez. But I will admit that Damian grew on me in the comics after awhile, mostly because of his time serving as Dick Grayson’s sidekick. They made an amazing team. And considering this movie is marginally about Robin, I’ll definitely pick it up to watch. Though I’m rather lukewarm on DC’s animated movies these days. I wonder if they really do make a lot of money. What else would justify their existence?
What do you henchmen and henchwomen think? Are you still digging these movies?
New 300 2 Trailer Does Nothing For Me
I don’t know about you, but I keep getting less and less interested in 300: Rise of an Empire – which, for some reason, isn’t called 300 2, like it should be.
What was up with the Black Sabbath song suddenly cutting into the middle of the trailer? That didn’t work at all. I kinda hope somebody got fired for that suggestion.
I May Have Been the Only Person in the World Who Liked Dragonball: Evolution
Though I don’t remember what I liked about it. Or, at least, what I didn’t hate about it.
Good times with Honest Trailers at Screen Junkies! I want them to do Space Jam so badly.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/18/14
Holy cow, you guys, the Blob is back! The Blob! Not the Age of Apocalypse Blob, or skinny Blob, or powerless Blob, but the real, regular, normal, 616 Blob is back in all his glory in this week’s issue of Uncanny X-Men! With no explanation whatsoever, Brian Michael Bendis just brings back one of my all-time favorite comic book super-villains! And he’s great! Oh man, I hope Bendis has some fun plans for the character!
But the return of the Blob does not win Uncanny X-Men Comic Book of the Week on its own. No sir. Uncanny X-Men wins that title for an absolutely amazing Magneto story, which catapults him to maybe the most badass mutant on the planet these days. If his upcoming solo series is anywhere near as good as this issue, then we’re all in for a treat.
Fortunately, we’ve also got good issues of Thor: God of Thunder, Superior Spider-Man and some other titles this week. I even picked up Skyman #1 by Dark Horse!
But man, I’m so excited for the Blob!
I love the Hawaiian shirt, the sunglasses and the goatee; I love’em!
Comic Reviews: Amazing X-Men #3, Green Lantern Corps #27, Skyman #1, Superior Spider-Man #25, Superman/Wonder Woman #4, Thor: God of Thunder #17 and Uncanny X-Men #16.
