The Anticipation is Killing Me!
Only 8 more days until Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Thank you, random LEGO video, for helping to tide me over. Every little bit helps. And thanks to Toscano Bricks for making it in the first place.

I’m Only One Man, I Can Only Handle So Many Character Reveals
Yesterday saw the debut of the red Daredevil costume for the new Netflix series (which premiers today!). I saw the costume, loved it, and wrote a blog post about it. But then the various companies in charge of our live action superheroes went insane. There were no less than five superhero reveals, including Daredevil, and all of them are pretty neat. Are you ready to just smash our way through all of them? Let’s just go nuts!
Thing
Yellow Jacket
Archangel
Vision
I wonder how many more we’ll get today. This is the week that keeps on giving.

Hawkeye Gets It, Man
We are less than a month away from Avengers: Age of Ultron! And the awesome previews just keep coming!
Every new trailer and commercial reveals something new and amazing about this movie. And I still don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface! Can’t wait. Can. Not. Wait.

The All-New, All-Different Avengers Kind of Puts the Kibosh on that Whole Reboot Idea
The first hints of a post-Secret Wars Marvel were revealed to the Internet yesterday with the team lineup of the All-New, All-Different Avengers. This is the first official look of what the Marvel Universe will be like in the Fall, when Marvel promised a big reboot! Or Marvel promised a big change and a lot of people assumed that meant a reboot. Me? I was never convinced, and this new cover image backs up my theories.
Take a look at it and tell me what you see.
Green hands? Brown ground?
I see Ms. Marvel, Lady Thor, Sam Alexander as Nova and Sam Wilson as Captain America; otherwise known as the exact same lineup of characters in a pre-Secret Wars world. So if Marvel were actually going to go through with a reboot, wouldn’t none of these characters exist?
Granted, the addition of Miles Morales means a whole heck of a lot. But that’s something to unpack on another day.
All I’m worried about today is the fact that, when Secret Wars is over, the Marvel Universe is going to be largely the same. It’ll have the same characters in most likely the same situations. Yes, some things will be different, some characters and status quos might be switched around, but the Marvel Universe isn’t going anywhere.

Even the Avengers TV Commercials Are Amazing!
Avengers: Age of Ultron is in TV commercial mode now, with only a month and a half before it hits theaters. And apparently one of those commercials is the most amazing TV movie commercial ever produced.
Jeez louise! That was amazing! The action, the banter, the character moments, the accent; that is brilliant stuff! And that’s just a commercial! Oh man, this movie. I can’t even. I can’t even all over the place!
