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.
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.

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.

The Boys Presents: Diabolical Is Available Now!
The third season of The Boys is still a couple of months away, so the showrunners and Amazon decided to fill that time with a crazy, violent, anthology cartoon series called The Boys Presents: Diabolical. Here’s the trailer.
I think I heard in an interview that this is supposed to be like the Animatrix. It’s a bunch of shorts that further flesh out the world of The Boys, and all the violent and crude superhero stuff that happens. I haven’t seen it yet, because I’m posting this in the morning and need to get to work. But it’s definitely on my slate for this weekend!

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Peacemaker
Welp, here we are. After all the movies, all the drama, all the weird plans and random spin-offs. After all the acting controversies and reboots and new directions. After all that stuff, we finally have the best thing to come out of the DC Expanded Universe, and it’s a TV show about Peacemaker. How did this even happen?
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
I’ll be frank, I’m not the biggest fan of the DCEU. I don’t particularly like Zack Snyder’s various Justice League movies, and I endlessly chortle at DC’s failure to ape the winning formula of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But I’ve watched it all, because I’m a sucker for superheroes, and I can confidently declare that Peacemaker is as good as it gets. There’s even a very strong chance that I’ve enjoyed Peacemaker more than every Marvel TV show so far. Blasphemy, I know, but Peacemaker is that damn good (I’ll probably walk back that claim pretty quickly in the long run). Peacemaker is damn fine TV and I’m so glad more seasons have already been ordered.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of the first season of Peacemaker. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the series as a whole. And feel free to share your own thoughts/review in the comments!
