New Detective Pikachu Trailer Threatens My Sanity
I have been a fan of pokemon since Red/Blue, when I randomly decided to get the game for my old school original Game Boy after reading a magazine article. I’ve played every main generation…though I completely avoided the card game, all spin-off video games and barely watched the anime. So maybe I’m not the world’s biggest fan.
But the very existence of the Detective Pikachu movie is blowing my freakin’ mind!
This is pure madness. How else do you explain this trailer? All those realistic looking pokemon! All those surprises! And I love that song! That this movie exists, and could be amazing, and could kick off a whole new franchise of realistic live action pokemon movies, is just the sweetest idea ever.
Though I don’t really like Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu.
Also, somebody ask me about my Master Six pokemon fan fiction. I’ve been sitting on those ideas since I was a teenager writing fan fiction.

A Couple Fun Movie Trailers!
I’m a big movie buff. And while I’m the sort of sucker that loves every single Marvel movie, I also like smaller independent stuff. As such, I came across a couple trailers for smaller independent stuff this weekend and thought I’d share.
First up is Yesterday, with a truly phenomenal premise. I won’t spoil it for you. Just watch the trailer!
I can’t wait to see that one! Looks marvelous!
Next up is Long Shot, starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen. It looks neat!
Yesterday comes out on June 28 and Long Shot comes out on May 3. Hopefully they’ll be playing in theaters near me because I’d like to give them a watch. And hopefully, now, you do too!

But Where is Magic Carpet?
For reasons that are probably insane, my favorite character in Aladdin was Magic Carpet. I like sidekicks and supporting characters, especially sentient vehicle sidekicks. We can blame Benny the Cab for that.
But where is he in the new Aladdin live action trailer?
Everybody’s talking about Will Smith as the blue Genie, but he looks and acts exactly like Will Smith as a blue Genie. I want more Magic Carpet!
Oh wait, I just re-watched the trailer before posting this. We do see him in the background in the Genie reveal scene. Alright then, I’m satisfied. Go about your business.

Let’s Enjoy Some Radical Star Wars Animated Bits!
These have been popping up as part of a project for Star Wars Kids and/or Galaxy of Adventures. Something like that. Suffice to say, they are radical as all heck!
Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader
Yoda vs. Count Dooku
Here’s hoping we get a bunch more of these. They’re just plain neat.

Super Bowl Teases Avengers: Endgame and Captain Mavel
Thank the universe that we live in a world where all Super Bowl ads show up online almost immediately, so that I don’t have to watch the Super Bowl to get my fix of Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel teaser spots.
Both are pretty good!
Captain Marvel comes out at the beginning of March and Avengers: Endgame comes out at the end of April. I like how the Endgame trailers aren’t revealing too much about the plot. Everybody gets together, there are some dire warnings and concerns, but we have no clue yet what’s actually going to happen. I like that.
Also, I think I’ve asked this before, but is anybody seeing the Captain Marvel trailers in front of movies? I go to the movies a lot, especially superhero movies, but I haven’t seen the Captain Marvel trailers play in front of anything. Not Aquaman. Not Into the Spider-Verse. What is going on? Why is nobody playing that trailer?
