It’s Not Gonna Get More Epic than This Trailer for Season 2 of X-Men ’97
I loved the first season of X-Men ’97! Holy cow that was an amazing show! And we got word this week that they’re already working on season four, so we should have plenty to love for a long time. But first, we gotta dive into season two, which looks suitably epic.
Jeez louise, people! What an epic trailer! The music, the grandeur, the glimpses of X-Men and mutants and characters and time periods of just so much everything else! So much to love! So much to get exited about!
We already know the season will feature more Multiple Man and Strong Guy, so that makes me personally happy. But we haven’t seen hide nor hair of Iceman. That’s a bummer. Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens!
X-Men ’97 will return to Disney+ on July 1.

We’re Definitely Getting More Live Action Avatar: The Last Airbender
I did not watch that leak of the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender movie. I’m no enemy of piracy, but I’m also not so indulgent as to engage with something like that. I’ll wait until it comes out in theaters. That’s fine by me. But in other Avatar news, there’s a new trailer for the second season of the live action show on Netflix!
Not a well-made trailer, but it works. I think I was very lukewarm on the first season. It was fine. Nothing spectacular. Nothing to justify its existence in live action. But I’m not going to begrudge Netflix making more. Let the people work! Let the franchise continue in whatever form is deemed appropriate. We can have mediocre things!
Season two arrives on Netflix on June 25, so in about a month.

They Were Sure to Add Some Green to the New Lanterns Trailer
Allow me to say, right off the bat, that I didn’t need green in the previous Lanterns trailer. I don’t need to have a trailer or a TV show or whatever hold my hand and reassure me that the new show is going to be accurate and solidly adapted. I have faith. I have willingness to watch. I’m cool. I’m down.
And honestly, this new trailer trades substance for green.
Still looks like a mighty fine show. Still not sure what it’s actually going to be about, other than Hal Jordan and John Stewart solving a mystery in a ranch town…but that’s fine. I have faith. I have trust. I’m sure they’re going to make a fine show, and it’s going to have some neat ties into the larger DCU and it’s going to really set up the Green Lanterns as something cool and interesting.
I have faith. Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
We do now live in a world where the Daredevil show on Netflix was fully revived into a new show that’s just as good. The world is not such a dark and horrible place…no wait, it definitely still is. But we can now cling to our little pop culture shows and movies had games to find some joy to be had in all the darkness — and finding joy in darkness is maybe one of the themes of Daredevil: Born Again? I dunno.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
So yeah, season two of Daredevil: Born Again has arrived only a year after the first season, which is a miracle in this day and age. And they’re already working on season three. I watched the episodes week-by-week because I wanted to be part of the zeitgeist, and now I’m doing my roundup review. Am I late to the party? Probably. But I’m not famous enough to get screeners in advance. It’s just little old me, plugging away on this blog still.
Regardless, join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryI’ll Probably Watch Ted Lasso Season 4
I enjoyed Ted Lasso, just like everybody else. But I was definitely over it by season 3. The show became too much about sniffing its own farts, if I’m using that phrase correctly. Everybody that made the first season so amazing dipped out to make Shrinking (which is amazing!), and season 3 just wasn’t all that good. But you can’t keep a good Ted Lasso down…
I’ll watch it. Whatever. I don’t need to be cynical. If they make it, I’ll watch it. This isn’t like the Scrubs revival, some 20 years later. Considering how many years pass between TV seasons nowadays, it’s not even that weird that Ted Lasso season 4 is three years after season 3. And I like the idea of Ted spearheading a female team. I always expected that one girl in his neighborhood to do something eventually. I hope it’s that same girl.
Ted Lasso season 4 arrives on AppleTV on August 5.
