How Dark Knight Rises Should Have Ended
This greatness of ‘How It Should Have Ended…’ is back, baby!
Love the animation, love…most of the jokes. These people continue to produce some of the best stuff on the Internet. But if I’m being completely honest, I think they’ve lost touch with their original mantra. These videos usually now just make fun of various parts of the movie rather than focusing on creating an ‘alternate’ ending to show how a movie really should have ended.
And they are obsessed with their Superman and Batman sitting in a cafe gag! It’s like they spend more time coming up with jokes for those scenes than on actually riffing the movie. If you watch that video, when they finally get to the end of Dark Knight Rises and show what should have happened when Alfred was looking on Bruce and Selina…they just fall back on their Superman character rather than telling us how the movie really should have ended
Oh well, that’s just my pathetic two cents. Still a great web series.
Zubatman: The Animated Series
That this exists is a testament to the power and majesty of the human spirit. I am speechless in its awesomeness.
A Zubat, of course, is a pokemon, in case you couldn’t tell. Brought to us by Terminal Montage, who deserves some kind of trophy for winning the Internet.
Robot Chicken DC Superhero Special Looks Awesome
The Robot Chicken Star Wars specials were brilliant, and it looks like the DC Special is going to be just as awesome! This stuff is hilarious!
The Special premieres on Sept. 9 on Adult Swim. Should be fantastic.
Review: Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise, Part 2
I am terrible at keeping up with this series. Part 2 came out all the way at the end of May, and only now did I think to look into it and get myself a copy for review. Someone remind me to look for Part 3 in September. Though after reading The Promise, Part 2, I can’t say as how I’m too disappointed with missing out. This series – an in-canon continuation of the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon – takes a noticeable step down in both quality and excitement with the second chapter, much to my displeasure.
The Promise, Part 2
Roughly about 90% of this comic is just filler material, and bad filler material at that. Nickelodeon and writer Gene Luen Yang clearly knew where they wanted the story to be at the end of Part 2, but it seems like they ran out of interesting stuff to do following the cliffhanger for Part 1.
Comic rating: 3/5: Alright.
I don’t even know if I can call this an entertaining comic. It’s not funny, the action is boring, it’s painfully predictable, and nothing of note happens to any of the main characters. The only thing Part 2 has going for it is that it looks and feels like an Avatar cartoon. Most of our favorite characters are back, and they talk and act like we remember them. The art is also exactly like the old cartoon. Plus the spirit of Avatar: The Last Airbender is in this comic. It feels like I could be watching a real episode. So I guess that’s a plus, and it should make fans happy. But if you were looking for a real, interesting look at life after the cartoon, Part 2 does not deliver.
Still, the overall story has me interested enough to return for Part 3 in September. As long as someone reminds me to pick it up.
Join me after the jump for a full synopsis and more review.
All-Winners Squad is Amazing!
Marvel Comics is a place that’s willing to make fun of themselves, and this video is a great indication. I guess it’s the first episode of a new ongoing series about 7 lamewad Marvel characters forming the new All-Winners Squad! I assure you, non comic readers, all of these characters are real and have appeared in multiple comics.
You can read more about this series here. I’ll do my best to keep bringing you funny episodes!
