Will this darn week ever end? Maybe with some trailers
Man, this week. I’ve had a busy year and summer already, but this week takes the cake! But I’ve mostly made it through, and finally have something to post and share! Trailers! Movie and TV show trailers! I love trailers, I love having new things to watch, and I love sharing them with you lovely people who read this blog still.
First up is the first look at Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to that mostly bland Mortal Kombat movie from a few years ago.
All I can mostly say is…they seem to be leaning into the Mortal Kombat of it all just like the original Mortal Kombat sequel, Annihilation. That would be pretty wild. Mostly, I’m excited that they’ve brought back actor Josh Lawson as Kano. He was the only good character from the first film, and it was a damn travesty that they killed him off. Let us hope he has a big role in this sequel.
Mortal Kombat II comes to theaters on Oct. 24.
Next up is Tron: Ares, a movie I don’t care about, but looks very good.
I’ve never cared about the Tron franchise, and I don’t have any particular interest or anticipation for Tron: Ares. But some people might, so I’m sharing. And, honestly, that trailer looks fascinating. I love the visuals. I love the computery Tron stuff placed up against a real world city. So I might actually watch this in theaters.
Tron: Ares comes to theaters on Oct. 10.
How about Hoppers, the next Pixar film.
I haven’t seen Elio, but I probably will when it comes to Disney+. Pixar just isn’t the same. And, while Hoppers doesn’t strike any particular chord, I did like the idea of a human confronting the starkness of the animal kingdom. So that’s neat, at least.
Hoppers comes to theaters on March 6.
Lastly, a TV show trailer for Alien: Earth.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien franchise. I just don’t care for horror. But I’ll watch a prestige TV show when it’s good. And hopefully Alien: Earth will be good! I’ve got high hopes and can make room in my schedule.
Alien: Earth comes to FX and Hulu on Aug. 12, which is pretty darn soon.

I’m Still Into Stranger Things
It’s been a whole week since I last posted, and for that I’m sorry. That might be the longest I’ve ever gone without posting something on this silly little blog of mine. But let me tell you, it’s been a busy damn week. And with no obvious easy posts, until this trailer. I just couldn’t find the time to write my Superman review. It’s still coming. Maybe next week.
Anyway, we got a new Stranger Things trailer yesterday, so that’s something!
I’m still into Stranger Things. I’ve simply come to accept that TV shows take years between seasons. It sucks, but that’s life. And I’ve enjoyed every season of Stranger Things. I’ve got no doubt they’ll nail the landing and we’ll all have a lot of fun.
The new season starts off around Thanksgiving, then continues on Christmas and we get a big finale on New Year’s Eve and/or Day.

Eyes of Wakanda Looks Pretty Neat
Marvel has a new animated show coming out soon called Eyes of Wakanda, and we got our first teaser look last week with the end of Ironheart (which I enjoyed). And we only really get a glimpse of the animation style at this point, and that’s what looks pretty neat.
As always, I remain a staunch Marvel and MCU supporter, so I’ll definitely be giving Eyes of Wakanda a watch. I don’t think we saw any Black Panthers in that teaser, so I don’t really know what the show is actually going to be about. But a fun animated show is a fun animated show, and I’ve got nothing better to do than watch.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Aug. 27.

Ironheart is Only Two Weeks Away!
Ironheart is the next Marvel TV show on Disney+ and it comes out on June 24 — which is only two weeks away! I’m relatively excited. Nobody in the greater internet seems to have any faith in this show, but such was also the case with Agatha All Along and that was great! So I’m definitely keeping my expectations level for Ironheart.
Looks fine to me. I liked Wakanda Forever because I like pretty much all these Marvel Studios projects. I’m no hater. So I’m looking forward to Ironheart. With Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us over, I don’t have any current TV shows that I’m watching live each week. So bring on Ironheart!
I hope they establish some connection between Riri Williams and Tony Stark, even if she’s just inspired by him. Or are they just going to ignore that she’s building her own Iron Man armor and naming herself Ironheart?
