There’s a New South Park Game?
I’m a huge fan of South Park, and a huge fan of the the recent South Park video games, The Stick of Truth and the Fractured But Whole. Those were amazing role-playing games, with some great character customization and storytelling, and just a wonderful use of the whole town. Well now there’s going to be a third and it looks totally different…but also still in line with it?
I just don’t know. The switch to 3D graphics is bugging me. Why change the absolutely perfect, show-accurate art style of the first two games? And now it’s a multi-player action game? Eeeeeh. Not a fan. But I suppose we’ll see. Maybe they’ll make another great game!
South Park: Snow Day comes out in March, possibly.

6 Thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
I was all prepared to do a review/List of Six this week on the second season of Loki. It was a good season, and despite the failure of The Marvels at the box office, I remain a diehard MCU fan. But then I watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off over the weekend and I just need to tell you about it!
TV Show Review: 10/10 – Fantastic!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is now playing on Netflix, so go and watch it! The show is produced by original comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, with assistance, and it’s so damn good! I don’t want to give anything away in this opening blurb. I was always going to watch this anime, because why not? But now that I have seen it all, I’m going to sing it’s praises as much as possible, because it’s such a damn fun show! And a damn fine follow-up to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie from years ago, which I did and still do love completely. I’m not a major fan of the comics, but all the adaptations have so far been stellar!
Join me after the jump for my review/thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryDC Trailer Tuesday
Last week we had Marvel Trailer Thursday, and now we’ve got DC Trailer Tuesday. DC is not about to be undone. They’ve got their own movie and cartoon coming up. Fancy that.
First up is a new trailer for Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom.
I’m definitely looking forward to this one. I very much enjoyed the first Aquaman movie. It was a big, wild and crazy mess of a movie. And this sequel looks just as big and crazy. That should be fun, right? Will this movie defeat the superhero fatigue that killed The Marvels? I guess we’ll find out!
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comes to theaters on Dec. 22.
Next up is a delightful new standalone cartoon movie, Merry Little Batman!
We’ve been hearing about this for months now, and this trailer is our first actual look at what the end product is going to be. I think it looks delightful! Funny, silly, with great voice acting; Merry Little Batman might be the sleeper hit of the season!
Merry Little Batman comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 8.

Marvel Trailer Thursday
Look, I don’t run the world. I didn’t decide that two trailers for Marvel projects would come out yesterday, even if one was only Marvel adjacent. I like to share trailers. Here are some neat trailers. What am I supposed to do about it, other than share them?!
First up is the good trailer, for the second season of What If…?
Looks great to me! Avengers circa 1980s MCU? Heck yeah! Everybody on the Collector’s planet doing deadly stock car racing? Heck yeah! There’s supposed to be a Christmas episode. And a 1602 episode. So I’m fully on board with more of this cartoon. It’s gonna come out daily at Christmas, which is a neat idea. Let’s see how that works!
Next up is the trailer, and our first real look, at Madame Web. This is gonna be a dumpster fire.
I have always thought this movie would be a trainwreck, and this trailer confirms it. Man, what a mess. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening, but it does not look good. Madame Web is the worst possible choice Sony could have made for another attempted Spider-Man adjacent movie, and they have done nothing with the character. Throw in a bunch of other female Spider characters from Marvel, and it just gets worse.
This is gonna be a big disaster than Morbius. Madame Web comes out for Valentine’s Day.

TV Trailer Tuesday
Yesterday was all about sharing movie trailers. Today is all about sharing TV show trailers. Makes sense, right? Movies on Monday, TV shows on Tuesday. Keep up. Anyway, a couple really good TV show trailers came out in the past week, and I wanna share. It’s what I do.
First up is Masters of the Universe: Revolution. I really, really enjoyed Revelation and can’t wait for more in this series.
We don’t see too much in that trailer, but we’ve got more Skeletor, Motherboard and now Hordak. Will we get She-Ra? If only. I can hope. And I can also hope that my favorite character, Snout Spout, shows up. He’s the one I had an action figure of, and I want him in the show!
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is coming to Netflix in January.
Next up is the full trailer for Reacher season 2.
I really enjoyed the first season of Reacher. It was a solid, enjoyable action show, and Alan Ritchson is a cool guy. So by all means, enjoy more of your hit show! Make it just as good as season 1. Do it right.
Reacher season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 15.
Finally, our first look at Dead Boy Detectives, the spin-off from Doom Patrol and Sandman.
I never read the comics, but any season created by Neil Gaiman is going to be a hoot! And I’m going to be fully on board. Looks like a fun, spooky show and I’m sure it will be.
Dead Boy Detectives is coming to Netflix soon.
