6 Things I Want to See in Avengers: Doomsday
We’ve got two new Avengers movies coming up starting late next year, so we’re a ways off. But I was giving Doomsday some thought the other day and realized I’d never done a List of Six on what I hope to see in the movie. I used to do these a lot for Marvel films. So here we are for my own personal hopes and dreams for Avengers: Doomsday in late 2026.
I’m still a major Marvel fan. Say what you will about me, but I’m still loving pretty much everything Marvel is putting out. I cannot fathom how anyone can say the Marvel products are “garbage”. They’re maybe not all amazing and phenomenal, but the films and TV shows are still well-made and very entertaining. I can’t wait to rewatch Thunderbolts* when it comes to Disney+, and Fantastic Four: First Steps is expected to be a highlight of the rest of my year.
So can Marvel make themselves a billion dollar movie-maker again with Doomsday and then Secret Wars? I’m more than willing to find out!

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.

Alien: Earth is Coming
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien series. I’m just not that into horror movies. But who am I to deny a franchise when it brings me a potentially interesting new TV show to watch? And for this show, they have crossed the final line and brought the Xenomorphs to Earth.
Looks good to me. But then, it doesn’t take much to impress me. I haven’t done any research on this show. I don’t know what it’s going to be about. I’m pretty sure I saw a Xenomorph in the trailer, so they’re definitely in it and the show isn’t just using the name. I wonder if Sigourney Weaver will make a cameo appearance just because it’s theoretically possible. We shall all find out one of these days!
Alien: Earth comes to FX/Hulu on Aug. 12.

Wicked: For Good is Probably Gonna Be Good
I enjoyed the first Wicked movie. I’d never seen the play, but have lived with all the hype and was looking forward to seeing an adaptation. The film was good, and I’m relatively excited for the sequel to see how it all plays out. I know some things, but not everything about how it all ends.
Solid trailer. Doesn’t tell much of the story and is mostly just glimpses of stuff, but solid glimpses of stuff. I hope Dorothy and her crew play a large part, but I suppose I don’t really know. That will be a fun, familiar angle to throw at all the characters from the first movie.
I think the title “Wicked: For Good” is a little clunky, but I guess “For Good” is the name of a popular song from the second act? And studios are so afraid to just say “Wicked 2”, even though we know it’s only going to be two parts and not a franchise. But what do I know?
Wicked: For Good comes out in November, so we got time to sit on it and think.
