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.

Invincible Season 2 is Gonna Rock
I’ve read the entire Invincible comic book series, and it’s all pretty great. So I have high hopes that the cartoon on Amazon is going to make it all the way through the series. Keep hopes high! I already have faith after they took the opening chapters and turned them into that excellent first season.
A full trailer for season 2 was released at New York Comic-Con this past weekend.
Looks great to me! I recognize some of the new characters, though not all. I recognized some of the moments, though not all. So it should still be something of a surprise for me. Looking forward to this one, for sure!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.

I Don’t Like Anything About Wish
It’s one of those Mondays where I don’t have anything to share, but I want to post something, so I’m digging up this trailer from a week or two ago for the upcoming animated Disney movie Wish. I don’t like Wish. I don’t like these trailers. I don’t like the characters, the jokes or, especially, the talking goat. Alan Tudyk is a national treasure…but man, I hate his talking goat.
The premise seems OK…but also really crummy. Gah. I don’t like how I hate everything about this trailer. The main character, Asha, seems like she was written by committee looking to make the human equivalent of ‘plucky’. The villain seems pretty dull. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening in the story. And the talking goat is such a ‘talking animal sidekick’ cliche to the max, and I hate the talking animal sidekick cliche with a passion.
But it’s Monday, and I wanted to share something, so mission accomplished. Wish is coming to theaters sometime around Thanksgiving.
