Invincible Season 3 is Gonna Be Off the Chain!
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer to see more Invincible, because the next season is coming out in February! So it will have been about a year between seasons, or parts of seasons. Whatever. Who’s keeping track? Just know that we’ve got more show!
Invincible has been a real hoot and a half of a show and I very much look forward to more. I’ve read the comic so I know a lot of what to expect, but that hasn’t lessened the enjoyment of the TV show. It’s still a fun watch! It’s still off the chain! I think they’re doing a great job with the adaptation, and all plans seem to indicate they’re going to go all the way to the end. It will become a wildly different show in the future, but that can be super fun as well! Here’s hoping they can pull it all off.
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Feb. 6.

Secret Level Looks Like a Good Watch
We recently got another, fuller trailer for the upcoming video game anthology show Secret Level, from the same brilliant people who made Love, Death, Robots. I think it looks pretty neat!
I’ve always wanted the people who make those awesome, highly detailed World of Warcraft cut scenes to make a full WoW TV show. Secret Levels doesn’t have WoW, but this animation looks very similar in animation. So this is going to be close, or even the closest thing we’ll ever get. Awesome, highly detailed animation for a bunch of different video games. I’ll take it!
Secret Level comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 10, so next weekend!

I Don’t Like Keanu Reeves as the Voice of Shadow the Hedgehog
The voice just isn’t working for me. We’ve heard only snippets in a pair of trailers so far, and I just can’t put the voice and the character together in my mind. I can’t wrap my head around it. I just hear Keanu, in a rather flat, but also kinda normal for him performance. And I don’t hear Shadow, this crazy, energy-filled new villain character.
See it for yourself in this new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
The movie itself looks…like a Sonic sequel. It looks like a crazy, wild, mania-infused Sonic threequel. And that’s fine. I’ve never been the biggest fan of these films, but I’ve watched them and the Knuckles show and I’ll definitely see Sonic 3 in the theaters. And then the voice will probably work for me. I guess I just have to have faith in this crazy world we live in. Things will probably work out…with this movie.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 comes to theaters on Dec. 20, so it’s a month away.

How About Some Animated Movie Trailers to End the Week?
It’s finally Friday. The week is over. I don’t have any comic reviews coming this weekend and would rather just ease into Thanksgiving next week. To help accomplish that, how about some animated movie trailers that randomly arrived yesterday? Did all these trailers come out to go before Wicked this weekend? I dunno.
First up is a full trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, coming to Netflix next year!
Who doesn’t love Wallace & Gromit? It’s been about a decade since we had a new movie and I’m ready for more claymation fun! I don’t have much of a memory for the early films, but this is a sequel to the original Wrong Trousers movie. I should go back and watch to make sure I understand all the references!
New Wallace & Gromit comes to Netflix on Jan. 3.
Next up is a surprise trailer for The Bad Guys 2, a movie nobody knew was coming out until now.
I avoided the first Bad Guys for the longest time because I didn’t care, but then watched it last Christmas when I was hanging out with my family and they highly recommended a watch. Then we watched their new Christmas special and it was garbage. So hopefully an actual, theatrical sequel will be much better.
The Bad Guys 2 is coming to theaters on Aug. 1, so it’s a long ways away.
Lastly, we have another look at the next Pixar film, Elio, which looks neat.
I really enjoyed the first Elio trailer that came out a million years ago. This trailer seems more childish and silly, which we’ll see how that works out. But I like the premise, at least. Could be a lot of fun. Or it could be another Strange World. Hard to tell this far out.
Elio comes to theaters on June 13!

Oh Hey, Here’s a Marvel What If…? Trailer Too
This weekend delivered us some awesome Marvel movie trailers, and yesterday delivered the trailer for the third season of the What If…? cartoon show! I like What If…? It’s a fun show with neat animation. Sometimes they really have fun with it. Let’s hope they have fun with this season.
Yep, that was a really great trailer ending! They made the right choice with that inclusion. That’s what’s going to get people talking. The rest of the trailer looked fun…but I’ll be honest, heh…when it was just people’s faces and not costumes, I couldn’t tell who anybody was. I knew the cowboy was Shang-Chi because of a previous trailer with closed captions. Perhaps I should have turned closed captions on with this trailer, then I’d know who was talking.
Definitely didn’t need them for Storm talking!
The third and final season of What If…? arrives on Dec. 22 for another Christmastime marathon!
