Movie Trailer Monday
We’re back at the start of a new week, to share a couple of movie trailers I missed sharing this past week. There were probably more than these two, but these are apparently the two I bookmarked to share. I’m fun like that.
First up is a trailer for the new, animated Garfield cartoon, where Garfield is voiced by Chris Pratt. Man, everything about this trailer is soul crushing.
What are we doing as a society anymore? I guess we can all be happy for Chris Pratt that he’s still getting work. That’s a good thing, right? Do we still like Chris Pratt? He wasn’t that great as Mario…and, frankly, he doesn’t seem to be trying too hard as Garfield. I’m no Garfield apologist, but…eh?
The Garfield cartoon comes to theaters on May 24.
Next up is Inside Out 2, a sequel to a Pixar movie that didn’t require a sequel. But the world is as the world is.
I like the general idea. A bunch of new emotions that come with puberty? Sure! Granted, we didn’t see any of these other emotions when we peered into the heads of adults in the first film, but why let a little thing like continuity get in the way of a Pixar sequel? Gotta right this ship somehow.
Inside Out 2 comes to theaters in June.

Marvel Trailer Thursday
Look, I don’t run the world. I didn’t decide that two trailers for Marvel projects would come out yesterday, even if one was only Marvel adjacent. I like to share trailers. Here are some neat trailers. What am I supposed to do about it, other than share them?!
First up is the good trailer, for the second season of What If…?
Looks great to me! Avengers circa 1980s MCU? Heck yeah! Everybody on the Collector’s planet doing deadly stock car racing? Heck yeah! There’s supposed to be a Christmas episode. And a 1602 episode. So I’m fully on board with more of this cartoon. It’s gonna come out daily at Christmas, which is a neat idea. Let’s see how that works!
Next up is the trailer, and our first real look, at Madame Web. This is gonna be a dumpster fire.
I have always thought this movie would be a trainwreck, and this trailer confirms it. Man, what a mess. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening, but it does not look good. Madame Web is the worst possible choice Sony could have made for another attempted Spider-Man adjacent movie, and they have done nothing with the character. Throw in a bunch of other female Spider characters from Marvel, and it just gets worse.
This is gonna be a big disaster than Morbius. Madame Web comes out for Valentine’s Day.

TV Trailer Tuesday
Yesterday was all about sharing movie trailers. Today is all about sharing TV show trailers. Makes sense, right? Movies on Monday, TV shows on Tuesday. Keep up. Anyway, a couple really good TV show trailers came out in the past week, and I wanna share. It’s what I do.
First up is Masters of the Universe: Revolution. I really, really enjoyed Revelation and can’t wait for more in this series.
We don’t see too much in that trailer, but we’ve got more Skeletor, Motherboard and now Hordak. Will we get She-Ra? If only. I can hope. And I can also hope that my favorite character, Snout Spout, shows up. He’s the one I had an action figure of, and I want him in the show!
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is coming to Netflix in January.
Next up is the full trailer for Reacher season 2.
I really enjoyed the first season of Reacher. It was a solid, enjoyable action show, and Alan Ritchson is a cool guy. So by all means, enjoy more of your hit show! Make it just as good as season 1. Do it right.
Reacher season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 15.
Finally, our first look at Dead Boy Detectives, the spin-off from Doom Patrol and Sandman.
I never read the comics, but any season created by Neil Gaiman is going to be a hoot! And I’m going to be fully on board. Looks like a fun, spooky show and I’m sure it will be.
Dead Boy Detectives is coming to Netflix soon.

Live Action Last Airbender Looks Fantastic!
I was as skeptical as anyone else when Netflix announced they were making a live action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It was tried once before to ill effect. And it’s going to be a massive undertaking. But hot damn, this first trailer looks great.
Everything looks so darn good! It looks big, it looks dramatic, all the characters look great. Will the show get into the really silly, cartoony stuff? I suppose we’ll find out. Maybe it’ll be just the dramatic stuff. Maybe it’ll just be a few episodes from the first first of the cartoon? I have no idea, I just know that things are looking really cool.
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to Netflix on Feb. 22.

The Scott Pilgrim Anime Looks Sweet
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a month away and it looks pretty sweet. I love the movie, I enjoyed the comics well enough, and if Netflix wants to spend their money making a full-sized, movie cast-voiced Scott Pilgrim anime, I’m all for it. Should be a fun watch.
Some scenes are recognizable, but a lot of this trailer looks new and crazy. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World did a lot to capture the zaniness of the comic, but this anime is really going hard with it. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off should be a blast next month!
The anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.
