Darnit, I Forgot Today was April Fool’s Day!

I love April Fool’s Day. It’s a fun day. But I forgot it was coming up and didn’t plan anything special for the blog today. So all I’ve got is this Honest Trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s simple, it’s easy, and I can worry about all my other problems instead.

That was fun, right? It was a mild amusement that killed about 6 minutes of my day. Gang, you just don’t know. Sometimes your mind is just elsewhere. At least there’s a bunch of pranks and gag articles I can read on the internet today. That will get me through more than just 6 minutes. Also, Morbius this weekend. Definitely not looking forward to that.

6 Spider-Man Villains Who Don’t Deserve Their Own Movie (Just Like Morbius)

At long last, the Morbius movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters this week (barring any last second delays!). Early reviews peg this thing as a total flop, and I expected nothing less. The trailers looked bad, for one, and for two, Morbius sucks. He just plain sucks as a character.

Don’t look at me like that

Honestly, the behind-the-scenes studio meddling in the Spider-Man franchise is sometimes more interesting than the movies themselves. Sony is on this roller coaster of making good movies, then bad movies, then worse movies, then throwing Marvel a bone and making incredible movies, to getting a big head and making bad movies again. The idea that Sony is determined to make their own Spider-Man villain mini-universe of films is hilarious to me. They’re already working on a stand alone Kraven the Hunter movie. When will it end?

Hopefully before any of the following characters get their own stand alone movies! Join me after the jump for six crappy Spider-Man villains who will hopefully never get their own movies.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/5/22

Good news and bad news, everybody! The good news is I’ll be going to see The Batman today and I’m expecting to have a good time! The bad news there might not be reviews next week, as I will be out of state attending my sister’s wedding! That’s good news for her! But we’ll see if I have any time before I leave to read and review some comics.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Static: Season One #6 for an awesome, heroic finale to this first storyline. Not sure why this comic needs seasons, but this season finale was cool as heck.

One opportunity…to seize everything you wanted…

Meanwhile, I beat Pokemon Legends: Arceus and now I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to splurge on Horizon Forbidden West yet, at least not until after I get back from my sister’s wedding next weekend. So maybe I’ll take up reading for the next week? We’ll see.

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #91, Batman #121, One-Star Squadron #4, She-Hulk #2, Static: Season One #6 and X-Men #9.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/26/22

We’re one week away from The Batman movie and two weeks away from my sister’s wedding! I’m gonna have a pretty busy March. Thankfully, this week had some nice, enjoyable comics, including Spider-Man and Saga.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Strange Academy #16 for a truly heartbreaking story.

This can only end well

Meanwhile, I’m finally watching the third season of Doom Patrol and it’s pretty darn good. This series seems to have fallen off a lot of radars, but it’s still great! I’ve also entered the endgame of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Hopefully I’ll be able to entertain myself catching all the Pokemon, to stave off that desire to spend $60 on Horizon Forbidden West.

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #90, Saga #56 and Strange Academy #16.

Green Goblin Always Looks Good

The Green Goblin and I have a troubling history. I know he’s one of Spider-Man’s most famous villains, with along history. But I loved the Phil Urich Green Goblin series from the 1990s, so I will always prefer that Goblin. Still, I can appreciate all the Norman and Harry Osborn looks.

Tell It Animated remains a banger of a YouTube channel and I hope this dude is making all the money on Patreon. These videos are funny, clever and really well done. A quaint bit of pop culture enjoyment that randomly comes along every couple of months or so.

As always, if he’s reading this, I recommend Robin for his next video!
