What Do You Do When You’ve Already Done a Video on Michael Myers?
I’m a big fan of the Tell It Animated guy, who does quirky videos about the changing movie looks of famous movie characters. But he needs as much help with search engine optimization as I do, because even though the new Halloween movie is the talk of the town right now, he already made a Michael Myers video months ago!
So how about a Leatherface video?
I’ve never seen a single Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. And I hadn’t seen a Halloween movie until I saw this new one the other week. It was fine. I’m just not interested in slasher or horror films. But these animated videos are fun!

Check Out Spider-Man’s New Costume in this Bad Skit!
Spider-Man is going to get a new suit in his upcoming sequel, Spider-Man: Far From Home. It’s red and black instead of red and blue. I like the red and blue one better.
Anyway, there were a couple leaked photos from set that showed off the new suit, and some candid ones on Instagram. But we got our first real look of the suit in this poorly written and acted skit from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The suit looks pretty cool, but that skit is just plain bad. Jimmy Kimmel is supposed to have better writers than that. And Tom Holland, oy. Everyone involved can do better.

How Ant-Man and the Wasp Should Have Ended
The How It Should Have Ended people have finally come out with their Ant-Man and the Wasp cartoon, which should have come out on Tuesday! What the heck, guys? You gotta be quicker on the SEO draw! Anyway, watch and enjoy.
Though I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that there are valid reasons why Ant-Man and the Wasp didn’t rush off to help out at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. I mentioned them before, but you gotta remember, the alien attack on New York City lasted all of a half an hour, and then Tony Stark went missing. Then everything else happened in secret in Wakanda.
There’s no way Hank and Hope would let Scott run off chasing alien rumors, and there’s no way Scott would just take the suit and run off again without permission. So it’s perfectly reasonable that Scott and Hope didn’t rush off to help. How would they even get to New York City or Wakanda?

Have You Heard of The Kid Who Would Be King?
I hadn’t heard of this movie/book until the trailer arrived earlier this week. The Kid Who Would Be King is about some modern day ragamuffin finding Excalibur and needing to go all King Arthur on some evil death knights.
Personally, I’m a little tired of ‘chosen one’ stories, but this trailer won me over as the heroic king stuff started to include the kid’s entire class. That was neat. Also, it’s from the same writer/director of Attack the Block, Joe Cornish. Attack the Block is a brilliant take on the alien invasion movie, so I have nothing but faith in this guy. Maybe this will be good!
The Kid Who Would Be King comes out on Feb. 15.

The 6 Villains I Would Use in a Dark Avengers Movie
One of the fun bits of Marvel Cinematic Universe news to come out of New York Comic-Con was that Marvel has commissioned a script for a Dark Avengers movie. That sounds good to me! They’ve got to try new and interesting things in Phase 4, and a team-up movie about a bad guy Avengers sounds as good as anything.
None of them will be in this movie
Technically speaking, the Dark Avengers from the comics were a team of villains put together to operate as the real Avengers under the dark reign of Norman Osborn. As far as the public knew, Osborn was a good guy, and the Avengers were the Avengers, even though he had Bullseye posing as Hawkeye, Venom posing as Spider-Man, Moonstone posing as Ms. Marvel and Daken posing as Wolverine, among other notable members like Ares and Sentry. So we’ve got villains posing as classic heroes to the public.
I doubt any of that is going to happen in the MCU. None of those characters are set up and sticking to the comics would make no sense. So if we had to put together a Dark Avengers based on the existing MCU, who should we put on the team? I have some ideas!
