Epic Doctor Strange Trailer Leads a Bunch From the Super Bowl!
The Super Bowl came and went last night and my hopes and dreams were crushed once again. I am a lifelong Cincinnati Bengals fan, and they have never won a Super Bowl. They came within one minute of winning last night, and it was dashed. Such is life. Thankfully, I don’t care about football, and only really care about new movie and TV show trailers!
First up is a brand new, totally bonkers trailer for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness! Holy cow, this trailer is beyond crazy.
I don’t even want to begin to speculate what we’re going to see. There’s a ton of spoilers and leaks out there on the web, and I’m trying my best to avoid them. But just from that trailer around, this movie looks hella bonkers and I am 100% here for it! Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness comes to theaters on May 6.
Next up is a new, short spot for the Moon Knight TV show.
This still looks good. I’ve never been a big Moon Knight fan, so I’m not as hyped or pumped as other viewers. But I’m definitely going to watch to see what’s in store. The Moon Knight costume is slowly winning me over, step by step. Moon Knight arrives on TV on March 30.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is coming and I am hesitantly excited about this one.
I didn’t care for the first movie. It was more just generic live action cartoon cliche than it was a Sonic movie. But the sequel features both Tails and Knuckles. I have been a fan of Knuckles since I was a wee boy, and he appears to be incredibly awesome in this film. Like, it’s blowing my mind that this badass Knuckles the Echidna is showing up in a movie and everybody is excited. So we’ll see! Sonic the Hedgehog 2 arrives in theaters on April 8.
Then we’ve got Nope, the new horror film by Jordan Peele.
Looks freaky and scary, so it should be a good time. I guess it’s about an alien invasion? Nope stands for “Not of Planet Earth” maybe? Either way, should be a good time at the movies! Nope arrives on July 22.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/12/22
What a week, people! This might be one of the most joyous weeks in comics I’ve ever had. We got a new Multiple Man Marvel Unlimited comic this week, Strong Guy gets in on the action in Secret X-Men and then we’ve got the mother of all team-ups!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #88.BEY for bringing together some of my favorite obscure characters for a delightful comic! I’m so glad my obscure favorites aren’t being needlessly murdered for once! Let’s here it for Hornet and the Slingers!
Meanwhile, I’ll have a review up next week on the first season of The Book of Boba Fett. Pretty underwhelming, if you ask me, but otherwise fine. Then the week after, I want to do a review of the first season of Peacemaker, because that show is amazing! Why couldn’t James Gunn have made a Boba Fett TV show? Oh well. In other news, I’m enjoying Pokemon Legends: Arceus just fine.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #88.BEY, Batgirls #3, Mighty Morphin #16, Robins #5 and Secret X-Men #1.

I’m not much of a fan of the Jurassic World series. It’s lost all the majesty of the original Jurassic Park and is now just a generic action film with dinosaurs. But a trilogy is a trilogy, so we’re going to get Jurassic World: Dominion later this year. And while the Jeff Goldblum cameo in the last film was rather small and weak, Dominion looks to be making up for past mistakes.
It doesn’t matter to me that Alan Grant, Ellie Sadler and Ian Malcolm are coming back for Jurassic World: Dominion. It means nothing. What are they going to add to a world conquered by dinosaurs? Just some simple fan service for a property I’m not much of a fan of.
Still, it’s happening, and I’ll probably go watch it! Jurassic World: Dominion comes to theaters on June 10.

Lightyear: I Love the Song, I Hate the Cat
A new, full trailer has come out for Lightyear, the Buzz Lightyear origin movie starring Chris Evans. I liked the teaser trailer better, and I definitely still love the haunting use of David Bowie’s “Starman”. But now I really, really hate the robotic cat.
This has become a real pet peeve of mine in animated movies: useless animal sidekicks. It’s definitely going to spawn a List of Six in a couple of weeks. Sometimes you get an animal sidekick like Mushu, who actually participates in the story. Other times you get the chicken from Moana. That stupid chicken. And now we’ve got this robo-cat. We don’t yet know his role in the story of Lightyear, but my Spidey Sense is tingling that this is not good.
We’ll find out on June 17 when Lightyear comes to…theaters? It’s a Pixar movie, so Disney might just dump it on Disney+ again. We shall see!

The 6 Toughest Tiger Superheroes
Once upon a time, when I was a young boy, I picked the Cincinnati Bengals as my favorite football team. I chose them because they have the coolest helmets in the NFL, and that is a hill I will die on to this day. Of course, I have zero interest in American football and don’t actually follow the game. But now the Bengals are in the Super Bowl for the first time in more than 30 years! All my decades of general indifference have come to fruition and I can embrace my love of these tiger-striped linebackers.
And the best way to celebrate the Bengals being in the Super Bowl is a comic book List of Six! I’ve done plenty of lists about animal superheroes in the past, from lions to frogs to pigs to dogs to more. It’s a fun little game. And now I get to play it with a purpose! The Cincinnati Bengals are just plain cool. Orange with black tiger stripes? Get outta town! That’s a great design no matter how you swing it. And Some pretty great superheroes and villains have adopted the guise of the tiger over the years.
Join me after the jump for the coolest tiger-themed comic book characters!
