The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Comes Out With a New Trailer Just in Time

All trailers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have been fun. And with only a few days left until the first episode airs, we’ve got one last trailer to enjoy. If you don’t want to watch because you don’t want anything spoiled, I totally understand. I don’t watch pre-release clips for the same reason. But this trailer is the same as all the others. No major spoilers.

Looks great! This looks to be a really fun buddy action comedy, bringing big movie spectacle to the small screen. The leads are fun, the storylines sound interesting and I’m confident Marvel will have another hit! Just gotta wait until Friday to watch!

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Comes Out With a Better Trailer Just in Time!

Zack Snyder’s Justice League arrives on HBO Max on Thursday, possibly changing all of time and space in ways we cannot imagine. Will the world ever be the same again? Will Hollywood? Will this movie mark the true end of the pandemic, in place of the vaccine? I guess we’re about to find out!

Behold a new trailer!

What really strikes me is how heavily this trailer features Darkseid. Because we all know that, of the reshoots Zack Snyder was able to do, there’s no way he filmed an entirely new fight scene where any of the Justice League take on Darkseid. We all know that this movie will still just be the Justice League fighting Steppenwolf, possibly the worst decision in superhero movies in the past decade.

But hey, we’ll find out on Thursday. I’m gonna watch this at some point.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/13/21

Welcome to new comic book reviews! It’s a nice Saturday, with temperatures finally starting to break. And…yeah. It’s March! New comics including Mighty Morphin, X-Factor, Wonder Woman and more!

To shake things up a bit, I’m going to award Comic Book of the Week to Children of the Atom #1! As much as I enjoyed the new issue of Mighty Morphin, it’s time to diversify my favorites. Children of the Atom brought us something new and interesting.

Meanwhile, I recently found out that the movie theater in the next town over has reopened! It sounds like a very dangerous adventure, but it’s something I might risk to see Godzilla vs. Kong on the big screen in a couple weeks. Also, I’ve started playing Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. It’s fine so far, but feels a lot rougher than previous games.

Comic Reviews: Children of the Atom #1, The Green Lantern: Season Two #12, Mighty Morphin #5, Strange Academy #9, Wonder Woman #770 and X-Factor #8.

Infinity Train is Getting One Final Season

Does anybody else watch Infinity Train? This show is great! It’s jumped from Cartoon Network to HBO Max, which is fine by me, because that allowed for another season or two. The fourth season is coming up in mid-April. And, as always, it stars a new cast.

Looks good to me! I love this show. I’ve loved it since it only existed as a singular “pilot” on YouTube. It’s smart, funny, creative and just plain neat. If you have HBO Max, I highly recommend Infinity Train. It’s a great show!

Maggott is Back to Full Slugs!

As many of you comic book fans know, Maggott is one of the coolest X-Men ever. It’s a simple matter of facts. He’s one of my favorites, and a new milestone was reached this week in Children of the Atom #1! Granted, it may not have been reached this week…but this is the week I first noticed. Maggott has finally been reunited with both of his slugs! Eany and Meany are back, baby!

I hope Maggott gets elected to the X-Men!

What am I talking about? It’s simple!

Once upon a time, Maggott “died” in the pages of Weapon X, when he was sent off to the Neverland Ranch. We never saw him die, but it was definitely implied. Before Maggott died, he left one of his slugs with a kid he’d met.

Remember Weapon X?

The last we saw of that slug it was in a tank in Mister Sinister’s lab. No idea what happened to the kid.

How do I know this stuff? Because I paid really close attention to Maggott during this time period. Maggott is a cool guy!

At any rate, Maggott was brought back during Necrosha years later, but he was down to just one slug. This continued for a while as Maggott made random background appearances here at there. At one point, they turned him into a hipster.

How do people not love Maggott?

And that’s a brief history of Maggott! Bringing us to this week’s Children of the Atom #1, in which Maggott has both of his slugs back.

I love that Maggott is popular enough that random civilians know his whole deal!

Eany and Meany are back and everything is great now. Also, how did he get the second slug back? Probably died again and got resurrected with both of them back. I’m just gonna go with that for my head canon.
