Tuesday Trailer Dump
So I haven’t been very busy posting the past few days because I’ve been busy and because we’re at the start of a heat wave here. It’s gonna be 90+ degrees farenheit where I live for a week straight. That’s insane! So I’m hoping to survive any way that I can, and that includes not worrying about posting.
But I’ve got time now to put this together, so I thought I’d just dump a bunch of trailers I’ve been saving up and talk about them all at once! Just to let you know about some upcoming shows that have me interested. I think they’re mostly shows or show-like projects.
First up, the final season of The Umbrella Academy is coming up. I very much enjoy this show and look forward to seeing it through to the end. Honestly, anything could happen, and I’m down for that.
Looks like fun! Let it be wild and end on a good note. Glad they got to finish this one.
The Umbrella Academy returns to Netflix on Aug. 8.
Next up is a trailer for the next season of Dimension 20! I’ve been a subscriber to Dropout since the very beginning, and I really should feature more of their shows and trailers. They’re becoming way more mainstream, which is awesome! Dimension 20 is their live action role playing show, and next season is Never Stop Blowing Up.
Looks to be a Jumanji situation, where a bunch of characters get sucked into a VHS tape and become new action movie characters. Sadly, there don’t appear to be any sets, but I don’t think they’re playing Dungeons & Dragons this time. I think it’s a homebrew take on Kids on Bikes. So we’ll see!
Never Stop Blowing Up comes to Dropout on June 26, so next week! How exciting.
Lastly, to take things in a complete random direction, is this trailer I saw and liked about a TV show called Sunny coming to AppleTV+. Not every show on that service is a straight up banger, like when I first started watching, but most are pretty good.
Anyway, Sunny is about Rashida Jones investigating the death of her husband with the help of one of those modern robots, in Japan. Could be neat and weird.
I like weird and neat. And I’m largely open to new shows, especially if I randomly find them myself. So this could be something fun! Or maybe nobody will ever talk about it ever again. We’ll see.
Sully comes to AppleTV+ on July 10.

Arcane Season 2 Trailer!
I didn’t know this was coming today, but heck yeah, it’s here! The first full trailer for Arcane season 2! The hit show that took everybody by storm a few years ago is coming back for more! And it looks great!
Look, simple as this: Arcane season 1 was amazing. And there’s every indication that season 2 will be just as good, if not better. So I’m getting everybody’s hopes up! Live the hype! Love the hype! Watch and enjoy!
Arcane season 2 is coming to Netflix in November.

Here’s That Ninja Turtles Trailer I Was Waiting For
On Friday, we got a trailer for the upcoming Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I was hoping to post it on Friday, but it didn’t come out until the evening and I was already busy with other stuff by then. So here it is now!
I enjoy how well they’ve captured the look and feel of Mutant Mayhem. I don’t like that it’s only going to be like 12 episodes. Everything is of so few episodes these days. And it’s weird that the focus is on splitting up the turtles, like that’s a selling point. Just weird.
Anyway, could be a fun cartoon, and it comes to Paramount+ on Aug. 9.

6 Cartoon Reboots Where I Want to See the Children As Adults
Legacy sequels are all the rage these days, especially in the movies. I’m lukewarm on this sort of thing, but there was a unique idea floating through some of these sequels that got me thinking: a legacy sequel where the child characters are all grown up! Now that I’d like to see…in some occasions.
This idea found its way into my brain when I read about the new King of the Hill legacy sequel coming out one of these days. Rather than just bring back the show as-is, the new reboot is indeed going to jump ahead to the present day as if the characters aged in real time. So Bobby Hill, in all his childhood glory, is going to be an adult man in the new series. He’s going to have a job. Maybe a family? I don’t want to spoil anything that I read, but it did give me the idea for this List of Six.
So join me after the jump for six shows/movies that starred child characters, and now they’re rebooted into grown ups for continuing adventures. And all of my ideas were for cartoons, so let’s stick to that for now. And feel free to share some of your own in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryCool 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.
