More Pacific Rim: Black, If That’s Your Thing

Did you know that Netflix has a cartoon set in the Pacific Rim universe? They do! And the first season was pretty good, if I remember correctly. Definitely worth a watch. Especially since a second season is coming.

I definitely remember enjoying the first season. The animation on the Jaegers is definitely cool. Though there’s zero connection to the movies. This might even take place years after the movies? I don’t quite remember. But a trailer is a trailer, especially on a Monday like this one.

Pacific Rim: Black returns for season 2 on April 19.

There’s a Bob’s Burgers Movie Coming

I am still shocked at how long-lived network cartoons are these days. I guess because The Simpsons is never ending, every single follow-up cartoon with some success will also last forever. They’re still making new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad and, of course, Bob’s Burgers. But only one of those three is getting a theatrical film!

I watched Bob’s Burgers way back in the beginning, but I haven’t seen an episode in years. Same with Family Guy and American Dad. I just moved away from those cartoons. But people love it, and a movie is coming, and it looks pretty good. Here’s hoping for the best!

The Bob’s Burgers Movie arrives in theaters on May 27.

I’ve Only Just Learned of the Awesomeness that is Pibby

So April Fool’s Day came and went this past Friday, and apparently Adult Swim did this whole thing where they have their shows invaded by a dangerous black static. It’s a crazy zombie horror thing, and is a fun way to do April Fool’s.

But in learning about this gag, I also learned about this little short for a show called Come and Learn with Pibby. It debuted last Halloween and I totally missed it! And I’m sad I did, because this looks rad as hell!

This looks awesome! Is there going to be a real Come and Learn with Pibby show? That would be bloody brilliant. Anyway, now that I know about Pibby, I’m very happy to share knowledge of Pibby with you, too.

And you can watch the entire block of Adult Swim glitch stuff right here.

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!
