My 6 Favorite Time Travelers
Happy Bill & Ted Week! Actually, it was really only Bill & Ted Day on Tuesday (June 9…6/9…excellent!), what with that new movie trailer and everything. But I felt that was a good excuse to celebrate time travelers! There are so many time travelers in fiction, and I like a bunch of them!
Obviously, this list is going to be time traveler specific. I’m not just talking about any character who has traveled through time. The movie Avengers have done that, and the comic Avengers have done it countless times. Nope, I’m talking about characters whose thing is traveling through time, or at least it’s a major part of their whole deal. I’m fun like that!
Join me after the jump for my favorite time travelers. And feel free to share your own favorites in the comments.

No sooner do I make a post about a new Bill & Ted: Face the Music poster than we end up getting the first trailer after all. Fancy that. I should have just been more patient.
Anyway, here’s the trailer. It’s fine.
Nothing really blows me away about the trailer. Both actors are definitely showing their age. Nice to see the Grim Reaper coming back, same actor there as well.
It all looks fine and I remain cautiously optimistic.
Bill & Ted: Face the Music is scheduled to come out on Aug. 21. Fingers crossed that actually ahppens.

Sweet Bill & Ted Poster
Bill & Ted 3: Face the Music is still scheduled to hit theaters sometime this summer, so it’s time for the marketing to get to work. The movie has declared today “Bill & Ted Day” and have debuted this first poster for the film. Looks pretty sweet.
Obviously the rumor is that we might even get the first trailer later today. If we do, you best believe I’ll be sharing it here, so feel free to come back throughout the day.
I’m guarded about Bill & Ted 3. I love the original two movies, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. As far as I am concerned, they are theatrical masterpieces. Both of them. So the idea that we’ve come back for a third film all these decades later is very daunting. It is not often that this style of sequel making ever works.
But we’ll see. I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m also somewhat disappointed that the plot of this upcoming film is that Bill & Ted did not go on to bring about world peace like they were supposed to at the end of the first two films.

Tenet is Still Scheduled for Next Month in Theaters!
This trailer is a couple weeks old. I’ve been sitting on it waiting for a day where I didn’t have much else to post about. It’s a trailer for the next big Christopher Nolan movie, Tenet. And it’s the movie that could determine the future of the film industry.
Tenet is scheduled for release in movie theaters on July 17. If it holds to that date, it will be the first major movie to come out in theaters since the pandemic started. That’s a big deal. If it actually opens in theaters, it will be a strong sign that movie theaters could go back to normal and other big movies will follow, like Mulan and Wonder Woman 84.
But if Warner Bros. balks and delays Tenet because of the virus, all other upcoming movies will also likely be delayed. And we might not get new movies in theaters until the end of the year…if ever. Who will know at that point?
Basically, keep your eyes on Tenet if you want to know what the future holds.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/6/20
Welcome back to another week of quarantine comics! New issues are trickling out here and there, and big changes are coming to everything. DC has cut ties with Diamond! What does that mean? I don’t know, I’m not a business guy. All I know is I enjoyed the comics I read this week.
I got two of my favorite comics: Force Works 2020 and Far Sector! I think Force Works is my favorite thing Matthew Rosenberg has written, and it was my favorite of the two this week.
Meanwhile, life goes on and the world continues to fall apart. I had a bit of a fever scare earlier this week after a doctor’s appointment, but I pulled through without any sickness. I’ve started playing Star Wars: Battlefront 2 because it was free on Playstation, and I just finished the third season of Killing Eve. Both are pretty good.
And, obviously, #BlackLivesMatter.
Comic Reviews: Far Sector #6 and Force Works 2020 #3.
