Squirrel Girl is Great! Go Read It!
For awhile now, Marvel has been doing this fun cartoon thing where Noah Sterling narrates classic Marvel stories. It’s fun. And now they’ve done a recap of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, one of my favorite comics!
So watch the cartoon and go read Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Ryan North and Erica Henderson. It’s great!

What If Iron Man and Spider-Man Were Pokemon Trainers?
Remember when the Cartoon Hooligans made a cartoon about Batman and Superman as Pokemon trainers? Well they’ve done it again!
This is good, quality Internet content. The exact sort of fun cartoon geeky silliness that I come to love and depend on. Go Internet!

Star Wars: Rebels Final Season Trailer
It probably says a lot about me that I spent the entirety of this trailer waiting for some classic Star Wars character to cameo. I didn’t care who, just somebody. Boba Fett, maybe? They do talk about Mandalore a lot.
But by the end of it, when the only Easter Egg we got was X-Wing fighters, I had to accept that the final season of Star Wars: Rebels needs to stand on its own. No more Darth Maul. No Obi-Wan Kenobi. No Boba Fett. Just let these characters tell their story to the end.
Because it will be the end, right? Ezra and Kanan can’t still be around by the time we reach Rogue One and A New Hope, right? Even if Kanan and Hera make an awesome couple. There can’t be a couple of scrub Jedi in the Rebellion when Luke Skywalker shows up.
Right? Right?!

New BoJack Horseman is Right Around the Corner!
One of my favorite television shows right now is BoJack Horseman on Netflix. It is an amazing show, both hilarious and poignant, and there’s going to be a season four in only a week or two! Just in time, almost, for my birthday.
Can’t wait! Super excited! I love how the trailer barely even includes BoJack! That’s important, trust me!

The World is Ready for an Expanded Disney Cartoon Universe
The new DuckTales reboot cartoon is all the rage. Woo-hoo! I was a huge fan as a kid, and I watched the first episode of the new reboot and quite enjoyed it. The show is fun all on its own, but it’s also clearly made with the sensibilities of a modern cartoon show. There are Easter Eggs galore and a real effort has clearly been made to create a larger, deeper mythology. All the good cartoons these days have a deep mythology.
If you haven’t seen the opening pair of episodes yet, you can check them out right now! Trust me, it’s a good show.
Now that we’re all on the same level, I hope you caught all the great Easter Eggs the first few episodes dropped. I won’t spoil them until after the jump, but I think this new series has the makings to launch a larger Disney Expanded Universe, and I’m all in favor of that!
Join me after the jump to see what I mean!
