Masters of the Universe: Revolution Looks Badass!
For reasons that I think are dumb, a lot of the internet turned against the Kevin Smith He-Man revival on Netflix a year or two ago. But that show kicked ass, and I’m excited to see it come back for a second season! Masters of the Universe: Revolution looks freakin’ awesome in this new trailer!
I loved the first season, and this new season looks even cooler somehow! Action, bitchin’ 80s tunes, and a lot of intrigue and dramatic character growth! I have nothing but high hopes and unshakeable faith in this new season and I can’t wait to watch!
Also, exciting for me, my favorite Masters of the Universe character makes a quick cameo in that trailer! It’s Snout Spout! You can see him at 1:25 in the trailer. Why is Snout Spout my favorite? Because he’s the one random He-Man action figure I had as a kid! I had others, like He-Man and Ram-Man, but Snout Spout was the one weird, random character in my collection. So he’s my favorite! And he’s gonna make an appearance this season! I’m very excited.
Masters of the Universe: Revolution comes to Netflix on Jan. 25.
(P.S. While searching for the date in the trailer, I paused on a screen that shows Gwildor, the Orko stand-in from the live action movie. Holy heck. That is madness. My hopes for this show just rose tenfold!)

What Happened in Halo Season 1?
I know I watched the first season of the Halo TV show, and I know I liked it. I’m no game purist, so the show was fine. But I can’t really remember too much. I have vague memories of Master Chief’s storyline…and there was a big battle against the aliens in the final episode. But did the first season how the Fall of Reach? I don’t remember that…
Anyway, the new trailer for season 2 sure does seem to think we’ve already seen the Fall of Reach.
So for those who don’t know, Reach is a human planet and the evil aliens destroy it…I think. There’s at least one video game about it specifically, which I’m pretty sure I played a million years ago. Maybe the Fall of Reach happens at the start of this new season? I dunno. The trailer looks pretty good to me. Looks like more of the same. Wait, did Kwan Ha appear in that trailer at all? I don’t remember seeing any young Asian women…is that original character from season 1 coming back?!
Jeez, my memory is terrible these days. Though I do remember that the trailer said Halo season 2 will arrive on Paramount+ on Feb. 8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/13/24
Another week, more comics, the world keeps spinning around and around. Some pretty good and enjoyable comics this week, like Transformers and the first issue of the hotly anticipated Ultimate Spider-Man #1.
Comic Book of the Week is Sensational She-Hulk for an excellent issue of superheroes being normal people, which I love.
Meanwhile, I watched Echo this past week and I enjoyed it. Definitely nothing special or outstanding, but it’s a solid corner of the MCU that could be further explored in the future. I wouldn’t mind seeing her interact with other heroes and actually play a role. Beyond that, my interest in Project Zomboid is definitely beginning to wane after a few unfortunate deaths. I just wanna play the game and not have to keep restarting! Stupid zombies.
Comic Reviews: Sensational She-Hulk #4, Transformers #4 and Ultimate Spider-Man #1.
Read the rest of this entryMr. & Mrs. Smith Looks Great!
It’s a new year, so we’ve got new television to watch! And the new Mr. & Mrs. Smith show on Amazon Prime is starting to look really great. It’s not going to be a remake of that Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie movie, it has it’s own plot. And that works for me.
As anyone could have predicted, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine look like they’re going to be amazing together! My interest in this show exists purely on the strength of their awesomeness, and this trailer shows that off perfectly. I’m totally on board and can’t wait to watch!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith comes to Amazon Prime starting on Feb. 2.

Anybody Still Watching Walking Dead Stuff?
Like everybody else, I was a big fan of the Walking Dead TV show. I’ve read most of the comic book series and enjoyed that as well, but the show was really cool…until it wasn’t. I dropped off before the last two seasons, haven’t watched most of any of the spin-offs, but it’s still a quiet January and this new trailer is at least a little interesting.
It’s the first trailer for The Ones Who Live spin-off, featuring Rick Grimes and Michonne.
I’m probably not going to watch this show. But I’m still a little interested to see what becomes of Rick and Michonne. They kept him alive for some reason, and here’s that reason. This show. It was supposed to be a movie or two, but now it’s…wait…is it a show or is it a movie? I didn’t even look into it all that deeply. But it’s still coming out, and this story will still be told…but will it really matter unless we get a full Walking Dead reunion when all is said and done?
