Surprise Star Wars Characters Show Up in Bad Batch Season 3

The third and final season of The Bad Batch is coming to Disney+ soon, and it promises to be full of Star Wars action and Star Wars characters. That’s always fun. Personally, I still haven’t seen the second season, but thankfully this trailer doens’t reveal anything too crazy that I missed.

Of course, the big reveal of this trailer is that returning character at the end. No spoilers. I’ve always been a fan of the character, and I’m perfectly happy to see her come back for some awesome action scenes. Why not? Nobody’s ever really gone in Star Wars. As long as the episodes and the action is entertaining.

The third season of The Bad Batch comes to Disney+ on February 21!

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!)

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of What If…?

I had a great holiday season, seeing family, getting presents and having a good time. The whole thing was lifted by the second season of Marvel’s What If…?, a cartoon show based on the classic comic book series, tilted now towards the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think it remains a great idea for a cartoon spin-off of the MCU, and the second season did not disappoint.

TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good

I was always a big fan of the What If…? comics and read more than a few in my day. It’s just a fun idea, and it’s just as fun when applied to the MCU. That makes the episodes a little more limiting, since they don’t have access to the full Marvel comics universe. But when there’s only 10 or so episodes a season, they’ve got more than enough material to play around with.

Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of the second season of What If…? Expect SOME SPOILERS for the season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Our First Look at the Second Season of Arcane!

Arcane: League of Legends came out of nowhere a few years ago and was an awesome-as-hell show! And thankfully, the wait for a second season is almost over because, I believe, it might be coming out later this year! Woohoo! And to herald that second season, here is a short teaser of a clip.

Who is that giant monster? It’s probably Vander, the father figure character from the first batch of episodes. There were apparently hints that he might still be alive in that mad scientist’s lab, and he’d make a fearsome foe in season two. Personally, I’m not a fan of bringing him back. Let the past stay in the past and let our main characters move forward on their own. But I trust the creators to make an awesome season 2.

And like that video says, it comes out in November!

Let’s Start the New Year with the CGP Grey Flag Saga

If you don’t watch CGP Grey on YouTube, consider this a solid introduction to his content. The dude is smart and he makes smart and funny videos about a wide range of niche topics. I’m a guy who can definitely get behind passion for niche projects. Recently, he updated his flag tier video saga, so I figured I’d share the whole thing.

Basically, Grey makes a tier list of all the United States state flags, and then he released a video this holiday season ranking the Canadian province flags! Neat!

First up is the U.S. flags. It came out in April, but I’m sharing it now.

The guy makes a lot of sense. I’ve never liked the New York State flag. It’s ugly and needs a redesign!

Then, a few weeks ago, Grey announced an epilogue to his flag saga in which the state of Minnesota revealed a new flag redesign! I think they’ve picked their new design finalist — they have — but here’s Grey’s introduction to the ones in the running. I think this video turned me on to Grey’s whole flag saga.

I like the new design!

And lastly, he released the Canada video as a Christmas present, so huzzah! More CGP Grey Flag Content!

Happy New Year, everybody! Here’s to me posting more videos, movie trailers, nonsensical lists and comic reviews! I’m gonna go see Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom tomorrow, so expect a list soon of me ranking all the DCEU movies. Until then, fare thee well.
