Some Honest Trailers for this Honest Friday
Since I no longer have comics to talk about, it’s a good thing I’ve saved up a couple of good YouTube videos to use on lazy Fridays like this one. Arguably, I should have plenty of time to write up some original pieces for this blog, but I have not yet transitioned out of the ‘lay on my couch staring at my ceiling’ phase of quarantine.
So how about the Honest Trailer of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
Ha, yeah. The movie was all those things. In time, I’m probably going to feel the same way about The Rise of Skywalker as I do the other new Star Wars movies. Which is that it’s fine, but I just don’t care.
How about the Honest Trailer for Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey?
Also a movie I enjoyed. I’m sad it wasn’t a success and we probably won’t get a sequel of any kind. But at least we’ve got parody videos!

Only Leigh Makes Her Triumphant Return to Battle Coronavirus!
I am a huge fan of creator Leigh Lahav and her various cartoons on YouTube. She’s spent the past few years working on some outside projects, but now that quarantine is here, she’s found time to put out another parody video!
I need to hurry up and let coronavirus quarantine fuel my own creative adventures…
Anyway, Only Leigh is great, I love her videos, and now that I’m reminded of her Patreon, I need to seriously consider getting in on that. There are a lot of creators I really enjoy who could use as much support as they can get during this virus crisis.

Some Honest Trailers to Enjoy on This Nice Friday
This strikes me as a very casual week, so lets cap it off with a couple of Honest Trailers I haven’t gotten around to sharing. I love me a good Honest Trailer, and I’ve got a couple of doozies today!
Like the Honest Trailer for the hit film Knives Out, one of my favorites from last year!
Knives Out was a great movie! And it’s on DVD, so feel free to go out and rent it if you haven’t seen it yet!
Meanwhile, how about an Honest Trailer for Frozen 2?
I liked Frozen 2, though obviously it wasn’t t he runaway hit that the first one was. I’m ready for Frozen 3. I’m also ready for Disney to reveal that Elsa is gay. That’s a drum I’m ready to just keep beating!
I saved the most boring for last! Terminator: Dark Fate!
Let us hope this is the end of the Terminator franchise for a nice, long time.

How The Rise of Skywalker Should Have Ended
We are several months removed from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and my opinion hasn’t really changed. It was fine, probably. It wasn’t a big deal. I think the sequel trilogy, on the whole, is a big failure of potential. And now none of that potential will ever come to fruition, unless Disney+ puts out an entire new animated series that tells the stories of Rey, Finn and Poe between the movies. That could definitely be a thing!
Until then, How It Should Have Ended tackles The Rise of Skywalker!
And they do a really good job! Lots of funny gags and bits throughout the video. When they don’t focus on their own in-jokes, they put out good material. Kudos all around!

Sad News: DBZ Abridged is Over
Sad news, everybody! The amazing YouTube show Dragonball Z Abridged is over. The creators have decided to call it quits after more than a decade of possibly the greatest parody/homage show of all time.
Seriously. Dragonball Z Abridged is better than Dragonball Z.
I’ve been a fan of the fan-made show for almost all of these 10 years, and it’s sad to see it come to an end. But honestly, the end has come righteously. You can really feel the sadness in the two guys as they explain what happened. They created a masterpiece to be proud of, and to take it this far, that’s a real achievement. So my hat will always be off to them!
Here’s hoping the rest of the Team Four Star output is good! I enjoyed their Let’s Play of Fallout 4 a couple years ago! So at least there’s that.
Also, be sure to binge watch the entirety of DBZA whenever you want!
