6 Empire That Could Use Some Tales
Tales of the Empire came out on May the Fourth this past weekend and it really stunk up the place. Maybe one out of the six episodes — each about 15 minutes long — was any good. I’m really disappointed in this show. I enjoyed Tales of the Jedi last year, but man, Tales of the Empire was a real stinker.
Still, I don’t think the format is a bad thing. Not every single character in Star Wars can get their own full length movie or TV show, so why not throw them some mini-sodes in this little show? There are plenty of characters who could use some fleshing out, who could use a bit more backstory. It’s a shame they went with Morgan Elsbeth this time around, because her backstory is not interesting. Barriss Offee had more potential, but then they wouldn’t commit. Tales of the Empire indeed.
Anyway, in case Star Wars ever does this again, I’ve got some suggestions for better characters to tell stories about.

6 Potential Futures for the BOOM! Power Rangers Comics
We got the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news this week that BOOM! Studios is bringing an end to their 8 years of awesome Power Rangers comics. I was a big fan of the Power Rangers when I was a kid, and I think this has been one of the most consistently entertaining comic books of the past decade. It rarely wavered in greatness. So it’s sad to see the whole thing come to an end.
If it really is the end. Personally, I don’t think that’s the case. All we’ve gotten so far about this ending comes from solicitations, and that stuff is specifically written to be teasing and advertisy. And the announcement came paired with a promise of bigger announcements in the future. So something is happening and I highly doubt it’s a full cancellation of all things Power Rangers at BOOM! So I’ve put my speculator hat on and have come up with six possibilities for what’s next for Power Rangers comics!
Join me after the jump to see what I think is going to happen to the Power Rangers in the funny books.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Fallout
Like many people, I had my doubts about a Fallout TV show. Video game adaptations have a bad reputation, even though I still have faith in most of them. And I love Fallout as much as the next gamer. So could they pull it off? Could they make it work? Apparently, they can knock it out of the goddam park!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was a little worried after seeing the first teaser trailer for the Fallout show, but the second trailer was awesome and I was fully on board. I don’t think Amazon Prime should have released the whole show in one day, I think Fallout could have benefited from a weekly release, but those choices aren’t mine to make. I managed to finally watch all the episodes this week so it’s now review time!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the first season of Fallout. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

6 Brightest Sun-Themed Comic Book Characters
Monday was the total solar eclipse and you best believe I left work to go watch that magic happen! I live in Upstate New York and was in the path of totality! I set up a chair in my friend’s yard and had a good time staring at the sun. It was freaky deaky! And to celebrate, we’re doing a sun-themed superhero list!
There are plenty of superheroes out there with fire and heat-based powers, so I tried to narrow this list down to characters with a specific Sun theme. Maybe they just have fire powers, or maybe they have a ray gun that shoots a blinding flash of sunlight. Either way, they make this list if they a tied to the sun! And one of these days, I’ll have to do a moon list. The moon played a big role in the eclipse too! I’ll get around to it one of these days.

6 Classic Godzilla Monsters I Want to See in the Modern Films
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes out this week and promises some brand new monster action — and a pink Godzilla, which I’m totally fine with. We’ve already seen the new orangutan monster in the trailers, and there are hints of even more beasties for the new film. And while I’m in favor of creating new monsters, there are still plenty of classic beasts we’ve yet to see in the new franchise.
I’m an old-school Godzilla fan from the silly ’80s period. And my favorite films were the ones where Godzilla teams up with other good monsters to fight the bad guys. The new movies have featured a lot of classic monsters, from Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan to a surprise appearance from Mechagodzilla. But I want more! Hopefully this new film is another hit and we can keep getting these sequels over and over again, with more and more monsters!
Join me after the jump for six classic Godzilla beasties that I want to see in the new films!
