How Far is the Paper Girls TV Show Gonna Go?
Paper Dolls is becoming a TV show on Amazon Prime later this month! It’s a really cool comic, but it’s also a really wild and weird comic. Writer Brian K. Vaughn and artist Cliff Chiang go balls to the wall in terms of crazy time travel and sci-fi shenanigans.
Will the show be able to match that stuff?
We had a teaser trailer last week, and this full trailer doesn’t fill me with too much confidence. It grounds the whole thing in the part where young Erin meets adult Erin, because that’s understandable. But that stuff is only a small part of the madness to come. Will we get that madness? Are they saving it for a season 2, in the hopes that they get a season 2? I guess we’ll find out! But this first full trailer plays things a little too safe for my tastes.
Paper Girls arrives on Amazon Prime on July 29!

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is Going to Be a Thing!
There’s going to be a Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur cartoon! Neat! Apparently Lawrence Fishburne is producing, which bully for him. He decided to give us a first look at some of the animation last week.
I never read the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur cartoon, so I don’t know what to expect. But I’m all for new Marvel projects! Especially if it’s going to be a cool, stand alone piece with a lot of creativity put into it. The show is coming to the Disney Channel next year. Let’s hope it’s good!

The Paper Girls TV Show is Coming!
Have you ever read the comic Paper Girls by Brian K. Vaughn and Cliff Chiang? I have, and that thing is a trip! It’s a weird time-traveling, reality-bending adventure for a crew of four paper delivery girls from the 1980s. And it’s getting a TV show on Amazon Prime!
This teaser only hints at the insanity to come from this story, and I hope the show really does it all justice. Though a lot of comic book adaptations these days change a lot of the story, so we’ll see. I have no doubt that TV CGI effects can handle everything the Paper Girls comic has to offer. So we’ll see! I’m excited and can’t wait to watch.
Paper Girls comes to Prime on July 29.

6 Thoughts on Obi-Wan Kenobi (Review)
I wasn’t as super-hyped about the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show as other Star Wars fans seemed to be. I was just never a big Obi-Wan fan in general. But I still love Star Wars and I’m going to watch whatever shows they put out. More power to them. Now that Obi-Wan has come and gone, I felt it was all just generally fine. Nothing particularly special, as far as I’m concerned.
TV Show Rating: 7/10 – Good
In the end, I feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi was just a simple, straight forward adventure that this hermit Jedi gets to go on. It doesn’t really alter anything we know about the character or the era of the Star Wars timeline. I actually think it adds some unneeded complications that will need smoothing over in all our minds. But I was never bored, and there were definitely some cool moments. It’s definitely not a bad show. I just don’t think it was anything special.
Join me after the jump for my review and all my thoughts on the first(?) season of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

It’s Friday. The weekend is almost upon us. Sometimes you just wanna be able to be calm and ease into not having to do anything. So with that in mind, how about some simple yet enjoyable TV show trailers?
Solar Opposites is a fun cartoon. All those aliens having wacky adventures and being irreverent. I know I enjoy the show.
Solar Opposites is coming back to Hulu on July 13.
Then we’ve got What We Do In The Shadows, which is always funny and always enjoyable. Last season left off with some pretty great cliffhangers, so we’ll see how those play out.
What We Do In The Shadows returns to FX on July 12.
