Cool Tomb Raider Anime On the Way
Hollywood has been trying to make Tomb Raider a thing for a long time now. I’m not the biggest Tomb Raider fan in the world. I barely ever played those original games, and only played two of three of the modern reboot. I’m not sure why I didn’t play through that last one even though I very much enjoyed the first two…
Anyway, the people who brought the truly awesome Castlevania cartoon are now making a Tomb Raider one!
I loved that Castlevania show. And while Tomb Raider is not on my List of Six of other games that could use a cool, R-rated cartoon, it’s still a solid option. Everybody loves Lara Croft and all sorts of cartoon magic could happen if you put your mind to it, things that the most recent movie reboot couldn’t get right for whatever reason.
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is coming to Netflix on Oct. 10.

The Only Thing I’m Apparently Posting This Week is Trailers for The Bear
I didn’t plan it this way. I’ve given myself permission to not have to post something every single day, and I enjoy that freedom. But I still want to share trailers for stuff I like, and any other random stuff I find and want to share. But I didn’t have a List of Six for this week, and don’t really have any comics to review this week. And, well…the only trailers I’m finding to share this week are a teaser for the third season of The Bear, and now a full trailer for the third season of The Bear.
Don’t watch this trailer if you’re not fully caught up on The Bear.
Sure looks like another season of The Bear! Like I mentioned the other day, it’s an amazing show that easily lives up to all the hype it has accrued. I’m confident season 3 will be super fun.
Maybe Friday will bring yet another trailer for The Bear?! Anything could happen this week.
The Bear returns to Hulu on June 27.

Notice: Season 3 of The Bear Coming Soon
The Bear is one of the best TV shows coming out right now. Believe me when I say that it lives up to all the hype. Had I watched the second season when it came out last year, it would have been my favorite show of the year with ease. I plan on watching season 3 when it comes out on time next month.
Some spoilers in this little trailer, so don’t watch if you aren’t caught up.
Season 3 should be a hoot! Plenty of places to go, plenty of drama and comedy to be had. I can’t wait!
The Bear returns to Hulu on June 27.

6 Things I Want To See in the Second Season of X-Men ’97
The first season of X-Men ’97 was a masterpiece. It was perfect from beginning to end. And one of the best parts of the series was how it took multiple storylines from the comics and condensed and reworked them to fit the show’s own, largely original storyline. It was brilliantly done. I gave the show a perfect 10/10 score in my review last week. Loved it!
So what about season 2?
X-Men ’97 has already been confirmed for a second and third season. In fact, season 2 is already in production. Showrunner Beau DeMayo has been fired by Marvel for reasons that have not yet been revealed, but he wrote a lot of the scripts for season 2, so there should be some quality assured. But aside from Apocalypse being a main focus, season 2 could feature pretty much anything and anyone. Season 1 was also filled to the brim with cameos and Easter Egg character appearances. Anyone could appear from anywhere in the franchise.
I did a List of Six years ago about characters and concepts I hoped to see in X-Men ’97. Nothing on that list came to pass. Now that we know what we can expect from this show, I’ve put together a new list specifically for what I’d like to see in season 2! And expect FULL SPOILERS for season 1 in this list as I discuss what I’d like to see happen next!

6 Thoughts on the First Season of X-Men ’97
I mean, jeez louis, people. What an intense and amazing two months this has been. My expectations were very tempered when this show was first announced, and then we go those first few trailers. But from episode one, I have been hooked and completely on board with this insane idea that worked far, far better than it had any right to work.
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic
I was a huge fan of the original X-Men Animated Series when it came out in the 1990s. I was the perfect age for it and was already solidly versed with the comics — though not the comics that were current at the time. The show introduced me to characters like Gambit, Rogue and Jubilee, and then so much more beyond them. The original show was everything. And now this new continuation is everything again. It’s so damn good. They did everything right and then some. X-Men ’97 is so good, I wonder if it will affect the MCU plans for the X-Men going forward…
Anyway, the finale aired yesterday and I’m ready to talk about the show! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. Seriously! DO NOT READ THIS LIST if you haven’t watched X-Men ’97! But if you have, join me after the jump for my thoughts! And please feel free to share your thoughts and review in the comments below!
