Kingdom Hearts Could Learn a Thing or Two from This Girl
One of my favorite things to talk about on this blog is Internet creativity. I may not have much myself, but there are people out there who do amazing works of art, or videos, or song parodies or whatever else. I randomly stumbled upon this Disney Dressphere Project by artist Alli White. These pictures are delightfully fun. They’re Disney Princesses drawn like Final Fantasy characters, specifically from Final Fantasy X-2, which starred three female protagonists and involved the ‘dressphere’, which was about them changing costumes to gain different power sets.
But I still think they work wonderfully as just general Final Fantasy costumes. And they’d be perfect for Kingdom Hearts, the video game series that already combines Disney and Final Fantasy characters.
New Avengers Cartoon Trailer!
As if I haven’t posted enough Avengers trailers over the past few months, we’ve got a new one – but this trailer is for the cartoon The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Season 2 is right around the corner!
The cartoon is a blast. It seems loosely based on the various movie versions of the characters, while adding a ton of comic-related stories and villains. It stars Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Wasp, Hawkeye, Black Panther and Ant-Man. It’s made by the sort of writers who like to seed their stories early, then let them play out.
For example, the villainous Ultron was something of a background character (and even a temporary Avenger!) before he eventually became the big bad at the end of the first season.
This new trailer is rather exciting. I see teases for the Vision, Red Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, Ms. Marvel, the Kree, the Skrulls and basically just a whole lot of awesome, comic book jibba jabba! I know I’ll be tuning in.
CGI Green Lantern No Longer Looks Like Crap
Instead, it looks like an exciting cartoon series that will feature multiple aspects of the various multi-colored Lantern Corps. This clip came out of Wondercon this weekend, and not only does it feature Hal Jordon doing his Green Lantern thing, but we’ve got Red Lanterns, Star Sapphires and Saint Walker of the Blue Lantern Corps.
Oh man oh man, does Saint Walker look absolutely zen-badass!
Batgirl Loves Burritos!
Ack! The entire first ‘mini-sode’ of Lauren Faust’s Super Best Friends Forever premiered this Saturday, and now Youtube has the fully minute-long clip in its entirety. I think it’s a travesty against nature that this cartoon is only going to be seen in about half a dozen short clips, but it is what it is. So sit back and enjoy one of the most adorable superhero cartoons ever!
And for some reason, Batgirl absolutely loves burritos. She also seems a little insane. Just saying…
Superman vs. The Elite Trailer Arrives!
I don’t know if that video will successfully embed or not. I still haven’t figured out how to get something other than a Youtube video to embed. Either way, it will provide a link for you to visit. I know, what a hassle, right?
Or maybe this will work:
Anyway, I said a lot about this movie in a previous post that you can read here.
I think this is a stupid idea for an animated movie, and the trailer doesn’t help. While it shows plenty of action, and some drama for the Man of Steel, the trailer barely mentions the fact that the Elite are supposed to be a new kind of brutal superhero. That trailer makes them out to be super-villains, which misses the nuance of the story. Oh well.
