A Reminder That Sweet Tooth is a Show, and It’s Good

There are so many TV shows to watch these days that I lose track and forget a few of them. And nobody talks about the smaller shows, so they come and go and I miss them. I was two months late to the second season of that new Masters of the Universe cartoon and it was awesome! I almost missed the second season of Velma!

Fortunately, I do randomly catch the occasional trailer, like this one for the third and final season of Sweet Tooth. I really enjoy this show, though I forget it exists when I’m not actively watching it.

Sweet Tooth is a great show! As I understand, it’s very different from the comic, but only because it’s sweeter and nicer than the apparently gruesome comic. This is a fun show with fun characters, and I’m definitely looking forward to season 3.

Too bad it doesn’t come to Netflix until June 6, so I’ll probably forget it exists.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Fallout

Like many people, I had my doubts about a Fallout TV show. Video game adaptations have a bad reputation, even though I still have faith in most of them. And I love Fallout as much as the next gamer. So could they pull it off? Could they make it work? Apparently, they can knock it out of the goddam park!

TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great

I was a little worried after seeing the first teaser trailer for the Fallout show, but the second trailer was awesome and I was fully on board. I don’t think Amazon Prime should have released the whole show in one day, I think Fallout could have benefited from a weekly release, but those choices aren’t mine to make. I managed to finally watch all the episodes this week so it’s now review time!

Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the first season of Fallout. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Random Tidbit Tuesday

Man, I got nothing this week. No good movie trailers are coming out. No new casting news. Nothing random going on. I was worried I wouldn’t have anything to even post for three days in a row! But I’ve gathered some random stuff I found from the past few days to share, just so I can appear alive. If I’m not posting on this blog, do I even exist?

Anyway, Marvel shared this new artwork of the Human Torch back on 4/4 day, April 4. I think it looks great!

Everybody clued in quickly to the futuristic city in the background, lending further credence to the idea that Fantastic Four takes place in an alternate reality. That’s disappointing to me. But I have loved everything we’ve seen so far about this retro-futuristic concept, so perhaps I’ll get over it. I just don’t like the idea of the F4 existing in an alternate reality and coming into the MCU proper universe. Why not just figure out a way to have them exist in the right reality from the beginning? Ah well.

Also, in case it needs to be stated again, I’m totally fine with Julia Garner as Silver Surfer. I think the movie is just going to do a Silver Surfer origin where Shalla-Bal saves Zenn-La instead of Norrin Radd, and that’s fine by me. I’ve loved Silver Surfer since I was a kid, and I have no problem with this gender swapped take on the character. Bring it on!

The other tidbit I randomly found is that the Fallout TV show is coming two days early. All 8 episodes will debut on Amazon Prime on Wednesday evening, April 10. So tomorrow!

Looks like those are my end-of-week/weekend plans! That show looks great and I have high hopes! But then, of course, I’m also a guy who liked the Halo TV show, so what do I know?

Anyway, I’m gonna go try to find more content to post…

Tales of the Empire Trailer!

Honestly, I forgot that Tales of the Jedi existed, even though I really enjoyed it. Tales of the Jedi came out a year and a half ago, and told parallel stories about Ahsoka Tano and a young Count Dooku. It had some great chapters and some very interesting character and lore moments.

Welp, apparently it wasn’t a one-off, because now we’re getting Tales of the Empire! It’s going to come out in May and tell parallel stories about Barriss Offee and a young Morgan Elsbeth.

Looks great! I’m confident both of those characters have some good and interesting stories in them. Barriss becoming an Inquisitor should be a neat story. And perhaps Morgan Elsbeth was interesting once upon a time. This could be some good, animated Star Wars content. And I’m content with that.

All of the six shorts of Tales of the Empire will come to Disney+ on May the Fourth.

Let’s Take Another New Look at the Wild New Season of Doctor Who!

The next season of Doctor Who is promising to be a wild one. New Doctor! Returning showrunner! Something of a fresh start, now on Disney+, with Disney money backing all of the special effects! It’s gonna be so much fun, so let’s look at another trailer they released over the weekend.

This all looks good to me. There’s so much going on in this trailer, so much zaniness, and I think that’s for the best. This is gonna be a season of fun and adventure, which we all love! There are some dramatic bits too, and we’ll see how new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa handles the dramatic stuff.

Anyway, it looks like fun! The new season kicks off on May 10.
