So Many New Trailers

Comic-Con came to an end on Sunday, and while there wasn’t too much big news coming out of the last few panels, there are some snippets we can all enjoy, like trailers. Unfortunately, all the test footage from Batman v. Superman, Avengers 2, Ant-Man, Warcraft and others isn’t going to hit the web anytime soon. But there are some official trailers we can enjoy on this mind.

Trailers like…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1

Gotham

Mad Max: Fury Road

Constantine

And stay tuned later today for a possible trailer for The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies!

Arrow and Walking Dead Trailers

San Diego Comic-Con is dropping all manner of cool pop culture news on us this weekend! If I was a better blogger, and didn’t have that dentist appointment yesterday, I would be covering more of it. But cavities make fools of us all, and I’m only getting around to some of the good stuff now. But you can bet there will be even more awesomeness over the weekend, so stay tuned.

Though for now, I can share with you this cool trailer for Arrow Season 3. It’s mostly awesome. I still don’t like Amanda Waller, though.

Also, for all you Arrow fans, one of the Season 3 episodes is going to be entitled ‘Oracle’ and will reveal Felicity Smoak’s backstory. We all know what that name signifies, and we might just learn that Felicity was college classmates with one Barbara Gordon! That would be pretty darn cool. Oracle was actually on my original list of DC characters I wanted to see on Arrow!

Moving on to another comic book show, we have a trailer for The Walking Dead Season 5. This trailer looks pretty awesome.

Obviously it spoilers the cliffhanger ending of Season 4…but I think I’m OK with that. The Walking Dead still looks great.

Holy Cow, Red Arrow Looks Awesome!

Roy Harper is probably going to be called Arsenal in Arrow, but I’ve been a fan of the ‘Red Arrow’ moniker since back when he joined the Justice League, before the bad, cat-related times. I was a huge fan of Roy’s storyline in Season 2, and it looks like it’s going to get even better in Season 3!

That’s an even more badass outfit than what Oliver Queen wears! And it’s much better than the silly red hoodie he wore in the first two seasons. According to Entertainment Weekly, Roy is going to start out Episode 1 in costume, a full member of Team Arrow. That’s badass news for this big time Arrow and Arsenal fan!

Star Wars Rebels Looks Fine, I Guess

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Star Wars: Rebels cartoon, though it’s pretty much just an extended version of the last trailer. Still, it’s got Obi-Wan Kenobi in it, so that makes this trailer better by default.

I’m still very hesitant about this show. I finished watching Clone Wars a few weeks ago, and while that show was fun, it wasn’t the best thing since sliced bread. I also rewatched the original Star Wars trilogy a few weeks ago, and those movies really are surprisingly good films. I don’t think I’d seen them in years, but sitting down and watching them back-to-back was a real treat.

At any rate, this new Rebels cartoon looks to be about as cliche as you’d expect. It’s got the Luke character, it’s got the Han and Chewie characters, it’s got its own Darth Vader, and it’s even got its own R2-D2. And do they really want to put a Jedi into the Rebellion from the very beginning? Why wouldn’t you want to keep Luke Skywalker as the only Jedi in the Rebellion, who comes along at a time when they need him most? But that’s just my opinion. If you guys and gals are going ga-ga for Rebels, by all means!

3D Futurama is Glorious

Behold what the glory of the Internet has wrought!

Seriously, that’s brilliant. It’s a thing of pure beauty. The time and energy it must have taken to draw that 30 second clip is astounding! My hat goes off to Alexey Zarkharov, a Russian designer who has some more images on his website. Check them out too!
