The X-Men: Apocalypse Trailers Just Get Bigger and Bigger
There’s a new X-Men: Apocalypse trailer today, and while we don’t get any sign of Multiple Man, a few more familiar mutants show up.
I’m definitely going to see this movie, and I’ll probably enjoy it. But I don’t think I have any excitement left for the X-Men franchise. Their movies just keep coming and coming, a never-ending barrage of general OKness. It lacks the excitement that comes from Captain America: Civil War. Just sayin’.

Looks Like the Blob is in X-Men: Apocalypse! Neat!
If you didn’t know already, the Blob is one of my favorite comic book characters. He’s definitely my favorite X-villain. There’s just something really down-to-Earth about the Blob that I like. He’s not some maniacal supervillain trying to take over the world. He’s a blue collar bad guy, a regular mutant who could have, just as easily, been a member of the X-Men. He’s as much a mutant as the rest of them. But he’s also an asshole, and he took another path. So he’s a favorite of mine, and it looks like he’ll show up in X-Men: Apocalypse! Director Bryan Singer posted this online this weekend.
So Angel defeated Blob with his wings?
That’s definitely the Blob. Note the yellow stripes on his outfit and boots. That’s his signature comics look.
So awesome! As you may or may not know, Blob appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But he could be rebooted thanks to Days of Future Past. We don’t yet really know how all of that works. But it also, hopefully, leaves the door open to a new version of Multiple Man in movie continuity! Please!

Movie Trailer Friday
I don’t know why this week has resulted in so many new movie trailers. But here’s one for Independence Day: Resurgence! Because why not?
This…does not look good. It looks big and loud and CGI. The great thrill of the first movie was that it showed the real Earth fighting against the aliens. This new, ‘future’ Earth is all fancy technology and CGI advancement. This does not look like Independence Day. This looks like any other space adventure. Poor sequel.

Movie Trailer Thursday
Movie Trailer Thursday is probably not going to become a tradition. Movie trailers come out all the time, and seeing as how I love movie trailers, I share a lot of them. It just so happens that one of these trailers came out today, Thursday, while the other one came out, like, a few days ago. I’m just slow sometimes. Still, enjoy the new trailers for Jason Bourne and Warcraft! I know I did.
Jason Bourne
I don’t know about you, but I think my favorite part of every Jason Bourne movie is when the government guy first sees images of Jason Bourne in the field and goes, ‘Oh my God, that’s Jason Bourne.”
Warcraft
I saw The Jungle Book 3D yesterday, and it was really good. They showed one of the Warcraft trailers in 3D, and it looked kind of amazing.

6 Things I Want to See in the Black Panther Movie
Captain America: Civil War is only a few weeks away, and every single time I see a new ad or clip, I get more and more excited. The reviews are through the roof. All signs are pointing to this being another amazing blockbuster. And we’ve specifically heard that not only does Spider-Man steal the show, but Black Panther’s debut is as awesome as we could hope!
The hype is for real
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until 2018 to see Black Panther’s solo movie. That’s way too long to wait to debut this character, but what do I know? Marvel isn’t paying me multi-millions of dollars to plan these things out. You’d think that a Black Panther movie would be a better follow-up to Civil War than Doctor Strange. But again, what do I know?
I know what I want to see in a Black Panther movie, that’s what! Join me after the jump for my hopes and fears about the film.
