6 Characters I Want to See on DuckTales
The first season of the new DuckTales cartoon has come and gone, but that’s not going to stop me from wildly speculating and gesticulating about what I want to happen next. I’ve been pretty vocal about my hopes and dreams for the Expanded Disney Cartoon Universe. With today’s List of Six, I’m going to solidify those hopes and dreams even more!
Season 2 premieres Oct. 20!
The first season of the new DuckTales was chockfull of cameo characters. We had Gladstone Gander, Doofus Drake, Goldie O’Gilt and more classic characters getting new, rebooted appearances. As a fan of classic Disney and duck-related cartoons, this was a real treat…and there are so many more options for season 2!
Join me after the jump for the classic Disney and DuckTales characters I want to see in future seasons of the new show! And share your own hopes and dreams in the comments!
New Doctor Who Trailer is Glorious!
As you’ll see when you watch the trailer, I went for the easy pun there. I’m very excited for the new season of Doctor Who, and Jodie Whittaker in the lead role. The new trailer gives us a fairly good taste of what she’s going to be like as the Doctor.
I like the adventurous feeling of the trailer. The grouchy Peter Capaldi Doctor is gone (and I loved him!). Now we have a younger, more jovial, more adventurous Doctor! And I rather like the idea that she has three companions. I’m curious to see how the four of them come to traveling together. Taking one young sidekick on their adventure of their lives is one thing. How does the Doctor end up with three traveling companions longterm?
We’ll find out starting Oct. 7!

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Iron Fist
And just like that, Iron Fist totally redeems itself! I loved the second season of Iron Fist! I haven’t been this excited about Marvel’s Netflix Defenders in what feels like a long time. The action was thrilling, the pacing was solid and the characters were full of life and good development. This was a very exciting season of television.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I did not dislike the first season of Iron Fist like most people. I didn’t love it, but I also didn’t hate it. I was largely just fine with it. But I’m very pleased to say that Marvel and Netflix took all of our criticisms to heart, brought in a new showrunner and set about fixing Iron Fist‘s problems. I would have to say that they largely succeed across the board!
First and foremost, the fights are much better choreographed and more fun to watch! This is a show about mystical martial arts, so the martial arts action should be the most important part of the darn show. Iron Fist season 2 makes that happen and is therefore better for it.
Join me after the jump for all my thoughts on the second season of Iron Fist! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season.
The New She-Ra Looks Pretty Good!
I don’t remember if I ever watched the She-Ra cartoon back in the 1980s, and I watched a lot of cartoons in the 80s. I definitely watched He-Man. I also watch a lot of cartoons these days, and the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power looks pretty good to me!
We’re in an odd place right now. There are a lot of awesome cartoons, like Steven Universe, Adventure Time and more…but some of those are ending. We’ll need new cartoons. And so many of those cartoons appear to be reboots all of a sudden, instead of original ideas.
We have the DuckTales reboot, the Voltron reboot, then there’s that Thundercats reboot, now here’s a She-Ra reboot and there’s even been an announcement of a Care Bears reboot. So much for original cartoon ideas. I hope I live long enough for the Steven Universe reboot.

Let’s Celebrate My Birthday With Some BoJack Horseman!
Happy Birthday to me! And what better way to celebrate than with the trailer for the new season of my favorite show, BoJack Horseman! Season 5 starts later this month!
Don’t worry about getting me anything for my birthday. The number of things I’ve written off in the past few months as a ‘birthday gift to myself’ would make you shake your head in shame at my poor money management skills. No worries, I’m likely having a blast today.
