Scott Pilgrim Anime Coming in Hot!
I love the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie, and I’ve always been disappointed that it is not this grand, beloved hit film. That thing is great! The comics are good too, though I think they got a little lost in the weeds towards the end. So I’m almost fully on board with Netflix making a Scott Pilgrim cartoon/anime that seems to…just recreate the movie? Or maybe it’s gonna focus more on the comic? Or have some original stuff? I can’t really tell.
Whatever this thing is going to be, I’m sure it will be fun! Looks very hectic, very cool and the animation looks stellar. Bringing back the movie actors to be the voice cast in a choice and I hope it works out for them. I didn’t need the cast to come back. I’m sure voice actors need work too. But I’m on board to see how this whole thing goes.
Scott Pilgrim the anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

How About a Second Season of The Wheel of Time?
I’m back home from my trip to New York City, recovering from all the new bruises I got from being outside my comfort zone. Ow. Anyway, it’s a Tuesday, there’s not a lot going on, I missed yesterday; how about a trailer for a second season of The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime?
I barely remember the first season. I know I liked it, definitely liked it more than I guess the general consensus. Something about a chosen one? If you haven’t seen the first season, the trailer gives away which character is the chosen one. But I think I only recognized some of the actors in that trailer, and only a little bit of the plot. Oh well. I’ll probably watch a recap video on YouTube and then dive into season 2 at some point.
The Wheel of Time season 2 comes out on Sept. 1.

The Continental Doesn’t Look Half Bad
I still think it’s a little bit of a stretch to make a TV show about the hotel from John Wick. But Hollywood can spend their money on whatever they want, I’ll probably watch. This trailer looks pretty cool as an action, gunfire sort of show set in the 1970s. That’s a solid premise.
I’ll try to give The Continental a watch. I wonder if it’s gonna end with a baby John Wick coming into the hotel. We’ll see. Again, it looks like a perfectly fun action show. And it’s only 3 episodes long. That works for me.
The Continental comes to Peacock on Sept. 22.

Huh, There’s Still More Disenchantment
I have not particularly enjoyed the Disenchantment series on Netflix. I love me some Matt Groening shows, and am looking forward to that new season of Futurama that’s out, but Disenchantment just kinda isn’t good. But hey, it’s a Friday, I need content, and here’s a big trailer for the next and final season.
I don’t remember what happened in the last season. I don’t remember if I even watched it. When did it come out? I don’t even have the energy to look that up. It’s Friday morning, I gotta get to work, and all we can really do is enjoy a nice cartoon trailer. There is so much stuff coming out these days.
The new Disenchantment season comes to Netflix on Sept. 1.

6 Thoughts on Secret Invasion (Review)
Longtime readers of my blog will know that I’m a big Marvel Cinematic Universe apologist. I’m not ashamed of it. I enjoyed both Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I have enjoyed all of Phase 4 and everything we’ve seen so far in Phase 5. I am not someone who is ringing the bell that Marvel is dead. But even I can’t work up too much energy for Secret Invasion now that it’s over.
TV Show Rating: 5/10 – Alright
I loved the trailers. I had high hopes for the series. But ultimately, I don’t think Secret Invasion was anything special or all that memorable. I don’t think it was a bad show. It’s going to take a lot for me to say any Marvel Studios project is actively bad. I watched every episode. I thought they were all largely fine. It started stronger than it ended. But, overall, it was a big nothing of a show. Just fine. Just alright. Now let us never mention it again.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of Secret Invasion. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
