A Cool Looking New Movie: Captive State
Check this out! It’s a trailer for the upcoming movie Captive State, which I’d never heard of before this trailer suddenly popped up on my Internets. And since I have this blog platform, I’mma gonna share it with you good people.
It’s about a growing rebellion several years after the aliens arrived and took over.
Looks neat! It’s definitely on my radar for next year.

My 6 Favorite Alternate Spider-People
This week sees the release of the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and I am super excited! All word of mouth and reviews paint this as a possible masterpiece! The trailers are excellent. The cast is top notch. We could be looking at a game-changer here!
And if that’s not enough hype, how about a listicle of my favorite alternate Spider-Men?
So many good Spider-things
There have been a bajillion different Spider-Men and Spider-Women over the years, many of whom show up in the new movie. There have even been two very recent comic book crossover stories about Spider-Man teaming up with an untold number of alternate reality versions of him. And there are movie, video game and cartoon versions on top of that. There are so many different Spider-People in comics!
And these six are my favorite! They’re not all alternate reality versions of Peter Parker. Nor are they all Spider-Man. This is just a list of all the knock-off, clone, alternate and sometimes completely unrelated additional Spider-People that I love in comics!
The Avengers: Endgame Trailer as an Anime Opening
The Internet is a wonderful, magical place in which really creative people produce really weird things. For example, YouTuber MisterArkham re-edited the Avengers: Endgame trailer so that it looked like the opening credits to an anime!
That’s just plain neat. Solid work all around. It’s almost a better trailer! Though it’s missing an Ant-Man stinger at the end to be really great.

Godzilla is King of All Dem Monsters!
There’s a new trailer for the Godzilla sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters! Fancy that!
Looks pretty neat. We can some fleeting glimpses of the other big monsters, Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah, as well as more of the big man himself. The glimpses are a touch too fleeting, I feel, and I want to see more right now! But I must be patient.
I enjoyed the first Godzilla film and didn’t mind that he was used sparingly. This sequel looks like it’s taking that criticism to heart and just giving us a ton of giant monsters doing giant monster things. We’ll see if it pays off!
And somehow Godzilla vs. King Kong is supposed to top this…

Have You Seen The Outer Worlds?
A new game from the makers of Fallout: New Vegas was revealed at some video game awards last weeks. It’s called The Outer Worlds, and it looks amazing!
The Outer Worlds looks to be based around the Fallout: New Vegas system. There’s actually a pretty funny story behind this, if I recall correctly. Basically, the makers of the original Fallout games, with their irreverent wit, eventually got fired from the company they worked for and went on to regroup and form Obsidian Entertainment, while the rights to the Fallout games were sold to Bethesda.
Bethesda has made some good Fallout games (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4), but they’re right in the middle of a big stinker that is Fallout 76. I don’t know, because I haven’t played it yet, because of all the negative response.
But the true gem of the modern Fallout games was Fallout: New Vegas. Bethesda hired Obsidian to make New Vegas, which is what sets it apart from Fallouts 3 and 4. I played New Vegas through completely at least three times. I loved that game! But then Bethesda didn’t bring Obsidian back to make Fallout 4 or Fallout 76.
So rather than rest on their laurels, it seems the fine folks at Obsidian have just made their own Fallout game, without Fallout! It’s got the same sense of humor, the same first-person style, the same dialogue choices, the same feel. The Outer Worlds looks great! Can’t wait to play it!
