Dinosaurs on a Wednesday!
It’s Wednesday, so we’re almost at the end of the week. I’ve got a dentist appointment on Friday, which kicks off a week-long vacation for me. So I’ve got a lot to look forward to! Until then, how about a fun video from Tell It Animated about dinosaurs?
I am not someone who is upset with the idea of feathered dinosaurs. I’m all about science discovering and realizing more truths about dinos. Bring on all the information!
I’m not at all interested in the new Jurassic World movie. I’m mostly upset that they’ve kept the “World” titling. This is a new iteration of the franchise. They should have come up with a new name to use. Jurassic Island? Jurassic Earth? Jurassic Knoll? I dunno. They could have come up with something new.

There Will Be More Deep Space Discounts!
Earlier this year, I posted a bunch of cartoons from YouTube artist DeepBlueInk in which he created his own original series. It was called Deep Space Discounts and it was about a space Best Buy prison. Great little show! And there’s going to be more!
So yeah, that’s great news. And I wish DeepBlueInk all the luck in the world to raise money and sell merch and make a second season! This is a creator making his dream come true, and I can definitely identify with that. More power to him!

More Animated Star Wars!
Remember Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire? Those animated shorts from the past few years, that highlighted a couple of special characters? I barely do! But they were alright. Definitely watchable. Well we’re getting more! Tales of the Underworld! Featuring a pair of really cool bounty hunter characters.
I can take or leave Cade Bane. Never been all that interested in him, for whatever reason. He’s fine. I’m far more interested in Asajj Ventress! I’ve always liked her. And I just recently finished Bad Batch, and this version of her appeared for a single episode. I’m all for having her exist as a badass ronin with a yellow lightsaber. I’m perfectly happy with that being her place in the Star Wars Universe!
We don’t have long to wait for this one. Tales of the Underworld comes out on May 4, Star Wars Day.

Severance for Introverts, by Only Leigh
One of my favorite internet cartoonists is Only Leigh, on YouTube! She does fun work, with great voice acting, but she doesn’t post often because (I hope) she’s busy on a bunch of other big projects and work! But she came out with a random video to celebrate the end of Severance the other day!
Don’t worry, there are no spoilers for the TV show Severance on AppleTV+ — which I highly recommend. It’s a great show that lives up to all the hype it gets. And the season 2 finale was excellent! Just like this cartoon.
And just like, hopefully, the rest of this week. Sigh. It’s only Tuesday.

I’m Less Interested in Elio Now
The next Pixar movie is Elio, about a boy who gets wrapped up in some alien craziness. I liked the look of the first teaser trailer. It seemed like some random boy was plucked off Earth, mistakenly believed to be Earth’s president, or something. But nah, that’s apparently not the plot at all.
Now it’s a movie about an awkward kid finding his place in the universe. Which is fine. That’s a good lesson for kids. And that eyepatch thing is very representative of kids who had to get that eyepatch thing. But this trailer really loses me. He’s a kid who wants to get abducted by aliens, that’s his quirk. And when he does, he makes an alien best friend and they gotta deal with being dorks together, and then deal with an overbearing father. It all feels very pat.
Anyway, Pixar can do whatever they like. Elio comes to theaters on June 20.
