I Am Fully on Board With An Insane Street Fighter Movie

Late last week were The Game Awards, which I don’t watch, but they had a lot of trailers for upcoming video games and video game-related things. I should probably share some of those trailers, and I might, because I like video games. But more importantly, we got a solid teaser trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie…and it’s a hoot!

I am fully in favor of going full cartoon with a new Street Fighter movie. I’m very eager to see what they do with it. A cheesy Street Fighter was a flop in the 90s. A more serious attempt was a flop, when they focused on Chun-Li that one time. Why not have some fun with it? Why not go with totally accurate costumes and powers and smashing cars and fighting? Mortal Kombat tried to be serious and make stuff up and not even get to the tournament. The Twisted Metal TV show is going all-in on the zaniness and it was one of the best shows of the year!

The Street Fighter movie comes to theaters on…oh wow, Oct. 16. That’s a long ways away. And yet still before Grand Theft Auto VI…alas.

More Fallout is Right Around the Corner

A new, fuller trailer for the second season of Fallout randomly arrived today and I’m excited to share. The first season was a dream of awesomeness and adaptation, and I’m so excited that the world has embraced this show.

Second season looks great! New Vegas! Deathclaw! Vaulties! All sorts of goodies and goodness and character development and progression. Really good look at everything to come. And we don’t have to wait long!

Fallout returns to Amazon Prime on Dec. 17.

Holy Cow! Wolverine Video Game Trailer!

We’ve known for a few years now that Insomniac was making a Wolverine video game. They’ve done a fantastic job on all the Spider-Man games, and I’m in favor of them making all sorts of superhero games! Wolverine especially!

Looks amazing! Looks a little cut scene heavy, but what do I know? The fighting looks good too. And hopefully a lot of that is active game play. The costume looks great. The gore is on fire. This is a damn good trailer!

Wolverine has had some great video games in the past. The X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, in particular, was a wonderful time! So I can only hope we get something similar and something new and awesome out of this.

Also, they put out a behind-the-scenes segment as well! Just found this and am adding it to my original post.

For now, the Wolverine game is scheduled for next fall in 2026. We’ll see. It’s just nice knowing it’s coming out sooner rather than later at this point.

Our First Look at the New Season of Fallout!

The Fallout TV show on Amazon is pretty darn great! The first season was such a breath of fresh air, bringing that whole, wonderful, silly world to life. And instead of making us wait three years like most modern shows, Fallout is coming back in December! And we’ve got a trailer!

Looks great! All the main characters are coming back. We’re diving into both Las Vegas and New Vegas! There’s a Deathclaw. Looks like it’s going to be a blast!

Fallout returns for season two on Dec. 17.

Season 2 TV Trailer Thursday!

I don’t know about you, but there’s so much new TV coming out that I’m losing track. There’s a fourth season of The Bear to watch. A new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia just started up. And there are more new shows and new seasons coming right around the corner! In fact, I’ve got trailers for two shows I’m looking forward to watching.

First up is a proper trailer for the second season of Wednesday. I enjoyed the first season well enough.

Looks solid. Looks to have a good plot. I hope that monster boy returns. He was my favorite character in the first season. And you know who I want to see? Joel Glicker, the nerdy kid Wednesday hooked up with in Addams Family Values, played by David Krumholtz. This is a show that’s more than willing to play the nostalgia card, and he’s some kind of canon to Addams lore. Why not have that character show up in the new show? Wednesday needs to love interests!

The first half of Wednesday will come out on Aug. 6, and the second half will come out on Sept. 3, because Netflix still can’t pull the trigger on weekly releases.


Next up is a full trailer for the second season of Twisted Metal! The first season was a hoot and a half, and I can’t wait for more!

The first season of Twisted Metal was better than it had any right to be. They made a damn fun show based around the classic video game series, and it looks like season two is actually going to feature the vehicle combat battles! And it’s got Axel! We can see him in the trailer! How exciting.

Twisted Metal will come to Peacock starting on July 31.
