Halo TV Show Incoming

The Halo TV show debuts on Paramount+ this week and I’m pretty excited. I know there are a lot of naysayers across the internet right now, but I think it looks good! I just want to see what they manage to pull off, with high hopes for some quality television.

I don’t see what the problem is with these trailers. I think the CGI looks good. I’ll grant you that I’m no master of the Halo games or lore, so I’m not at all bothered by the show going in their own direction storywise. I just wanna see a cool sci-fi show with the recognizable Master Chief at the center. I’m excited to see what happens.

Halo kicks off on March 25.

The First Ms. Marvel Trailer Looks Great!

I am very excited for the Ms. Marvel TV show. I love the character, I have full faith in Marvel Studios, and sometimes we do get to have nice things. The first trailer arrived earlier this week and I’m finally sharing it!

I think this looks great! It looks fun, it looks joyous, it looks youthful; I really think this show is going to do right by Kamala Khan. I’m a little disappointed that they changed her powers, but to be honest, I never really dug her stretching powers in the first place. So I have faith in the showrunners making good hay out of the changes. And new actor Iman Vellani seems perfect in the role.

Did you see her thanks video after the trailer came out? Adorable!

Very hyped and excited for this show! Ms. Marvel comes to Disney+ on June 8!

6 Things I Want to See in a Knuckles TV Show

We’re going to get a live action TV show starring Knuckles the Echidna. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one. I don’t know whether to just sit back and be gleeful about this development or question my sanity that we live in a world where this will happen. Either way, I have demands.

And I have muscle

I am a big fan of Knuckles. I can still vividly remember my childhood fandom, where my weird love of Australian marsupials crossed with my love of video games. I wasn’t allowed to have games as a kid, and that only nurtured my desperate desire to play Sonic the Hedgehog games. When I learned in a pre-internet world that there’d be a new Sonic critter based on an echidna, childhood Sean’s imagination went wild. And when Knuckles finally did show up, he was everything I could have wanted and more.

I’m already beside myself at all these Sonic 2 movie trailers showing Idris Elba’s Knuckles in all his glory. It’s going to be so weird to tune into a weekly TV show starring the character. Join me after the jump for my hopes and dreams for this Knuckles show.

The Boys Are Coming Back to Town!

That’s how those lyrics go, right? Anyway, I’m back from my trip, my sister had a lovely wedding, and now I have to go back to work. Ugh. But before that, let’s enjoy the first teaser trailer for the third season of The Boys!

Loved the comic, love this show, and The Boys only promises to get crazier and more fun as we go forward. This is a great trailer, showing just some major insanity without the need for even a shred of dialogue. Perfect!

Also, I still need to watch Diabolical…

Season 3 of The Boys arrives on June 3!

Our First Look at the Obi-Wan Kenobi Show Looks Great!

I’ll admit that I’m not very hyped for the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. I think Ewan McGregor is great and it’s cool that he’s returned…but I dunno. I’ve never been a big fan of Obi-Wan, especially not from the original trilogy. And The Book of Boba Fett was pretty lackluster.

But this first teaser trailer does look pretty darn great!

I like the feel of the trailer, that’s for sure. It feels dark and cool, and a little bit hopeless. I’ve never been big into the Inquisitors, so they don’t interest me much. But all that talk of hunting Jedi sounds pretty cool. And I’m thrilled that Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are coming back as Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, it’ll be interesting to see what they do. And, like I said, Ewan McGregor will be great!

Here’s hoping Jar Jar Binks makes a surprise appearance at some point! Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Disney+ on May 26.
