Nobody Likes Dazzler
Let’s start this morning with a bit of humor. Website extraordinaire Dorkly have done it again with a hilarious video game parody. This time it’s X-Men The Arcade Game, and how nobody – not even Magneto – liked Dazzler. This is funny stuff people.
For Some Reason, Japan Gets a Much Cooler Avengers Trailer
What the heck, Hollywood? The Avengers is going to be the biggest movie ever, but for some reason you let Japan have an even cooler trailer than what we saw in America? This new trailer has amazing new footage of all the heroes, as well as an unbelievable look at the Helicarrier! The real, full-sized helicarrier!
Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer! And don’t worry, all of the movie scenes are in English. Only the general trailer narration is in Japanese.
Hopefully this will make up for that crappy Superman vs. the Elite trailer I posted earlier.
Superman vs. The Elite Trailer Arrives!
I don’t know if that video will successfully embed or not. I still haven’t figured out how to get something other than a Youtube video to embed. Either way, it will provide a link for you to visit. I know, what a hassle, right?
Or maybe this will work:
Anyway, I said a lot about this movie in a previous post that you can read here.
I think this is a stupid idea for an animated movie, and the trailer doesn’t help. While it shows plenty of action, and some drama for the Man of Steel, the trailer barely mentions the fact that the Elite are supposed to be a new kind of brutal superhero. That trailer makes them out to be super-villains, which misses the nuance of the story. Oh well.
Legend of Korra Debuts on April 14!
Hold on to your butts, Avatar fans! The new series, the Legend of Korra, will debut on Nickelodeon at 11 a.m. on April 14! New cartoon! New adventures! Holy hell this is going to be awesome! Avatar: The Last Airbender was brilliant cartooning, and I have no doubt that Legend of Korra is going to be equally as fantasmagorical!
Enjoy the latest trailer:
Review: Scarlet Spider #3
Scarlet Spider continues to make me happy. I was worried about a third issue slump of some kind, but I’m pleased to say it did not happen. The quick introduction is over, and Scarlet Spider does not disappointed now that we’re into the meat of the series. It looks like it will stand on its own two legs now. After this issue, I have a lot more faith in writer Christopher Yost to give us a great series.
Scarlet Spider #3
It helps that Scarlet Spider is pretty damn badass in this issue.
Comic rating: 4/5: Good!
Oddly though, he still doesn’t have his ‘name’. Nobody calls him Scarlet Spider, especially not himself. That’s not a problem, just a little weird. But then ‘Scarlet Spider’ is definitely a more marketable comic book title than ‘Kaine’. Yost has a lot of fun building up the supporting cast this issue, and giving Kaine a new sort of spin on being a superhero – he’s not hiding his identity. All the friends he’s made so far know where he lives, know his name and know that he’s the Scarlet Spider. It’s kind of neat, actually, and used to great effect.
How exciting is it that the Scarlet Spider comic book is actually really good?
