So I’mma Gonna Go See The Predator
The Predator is out in theaters today and I’mma gonna go see it. It’s important that you readers know my Friday evening plans. To prepare you, here’s the Honest Trailer for the original Predator!
I’m not a huge fan of the monster or the franchise. I saw the original and it was good. I never saw the sequel. I just like going to new movies. Here’s hoping The Predator is good!

Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors Looks OK
This Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors cartoon is moving forward, and I support anything that will give us an animated Squirrel Girl. Granted, I think they should just make Ryan North’s Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comic into a 1-1 adaptation, but that might just be me.
I’m mostly surprised at the continued use of Inferno, the Inhuman. How is that guy still a thing? Not only was he front and center on that failure to turn the Inhumans into the next big thing, but he’s got generic fire powers! Does Marvel really not have any worthwhile male teen superheroes? Isn’t Ghost Rider a teenager?
I dunno. Maybe watch, maybe don’t. We’ll see.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Iron Fist
And just like that, Iron Fist totally redeems itself! I loved the second season of Iron Fist! I haven’t been this excited about Marvel’s Netflix Defenders in what feels like a long time. The action was thrilling, the pacing was solid and the characters were full of life and good development. This was a very exciting season of television.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I did not dislike the first season of Iron Fist like most people. I didn’t love it, but I also didn’t hate it. I was largely just fine with it. But I’m very pleased to say that Marvel and Netflix took all of our criticisms to heart, brought in a new showrunner and set about fixing Iron Fist‘s problems. I would have to say that they largely succeed across the board!
First and foremost, the fights are much better choreographed and more fun to watch! This is a show about mystical martial arts, so the martial arts action should be the most important part of the darn show. Iron Fist season 2 makes that happen and is therefore better for it.
Join me after the jump for all my thoughts on the second season of Iron Fist! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season.
The New She-Ra Looks Pretty Good!
I don’t remember if I ever watched the She-Ra cartoon back in the 1980s, and I watched a lot of cartoons in the 80s. I definitely watched He-Man. I also watch a lot of cartoons these days, and the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power looks pretty good to me!
We’re in an odd place right now. There are a lot of awesome cartoons, like Steven Universe, Adventure Time and more…but some of those are ending. We’ll need new cartoons. And so many of those cartoons appear to be reboots all of a sudden, instead of original ideas.
We have the DuckTales reboot, the Voltron reboot, then there’s that Thundercats reboot, now here’s a She-Ra reboot and there’s even been an announcement of a Care Bears reboot. So much for original cartoon ideas. I hope I live long enough for the Steven Universe reboot.

Let’s Just Keep Talking About Spider-Man!
I’m definitely loving the Spider-Man video game on Playstation 4! It’s just plain great! So great, that I fear I’ve almost beaten it! This game was supposed to sustain me for a couple weeks! Why does it have to be so much fun and yet so quick?
Either way, our friends at Tell It Animated jumped on that sweet Spider-Man search engine glory and did up a video of his movie costumes!
Those are some talented animators at Tell It Animated! Somebody get them an Emmy! Or however that works…I’ve got more video games to play.
