It’s Finally Time to Play Spider-Man!
The wait is over! The day is here! The Spider-Man video game comes out for the Playstation 4 and everybody is crowing about it on the internet! High praise all around! Looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun! Thank the stars I splurged on that PS4 after all!
I’m gonna head out soon to pick up the game, but I’m no streamer, so I won’t be posting any footage on this blog here. So how about I rely on footage from other people? Like this cool launch trailer from Marvel and SONY.
Or hey, how about this long video detailing the technical and graphical achievements of the game, courtesy of digitalfoundry?
Yeah, these videos should cover everything while I spend the day playing video games.

Let’s Celebrate My Birthday With Some BoJack Horseman!
Happy Birthday to me! And what better way to celebrate than with the trailer for the new season of my favorite show, BoJack Horseman! Season 5 starts later this month!
Don’t worry about getting me anything for my birthday. The number of things I’ve written off in the past few months as a ‘birthday gift to myself’ would make you shake your head in shame at my poor money management skills. No worries, I’m likely having a blast today.

Speaking of Movie Superheroes, Here’s Captain Marvel!
The first official look at Captain Marvel has arrived, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly! And actor Brie Larson looks pretty darn awesome on the magazine cover!
I like the look! Captain Marvel looks great! The EW article talks about the plot of the movie, with Carol Danvers fighting aliens both in space and back on Earth. Nick Fury and Coulson will guest star, and I’m kind of excited for more Ronan the Accuser. I think it’d be neat to see him doing something else beyond his psychotic zealot role in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here’s a link to a couple of official pictures from the film, showing off the Skrulls and a couple more surprise characters! At least one surprise character, for sure.
Hooray, Captain Marvel!

6 Movie Superheroes I Like Better Than Their Comic Versions
I love comic books. I love superhero movies. These things are known and they shouldn’t be very surprising, considering how long I’ve been churning away at this comic book blog with little to no return! Where’s my fame, huh? Why is nobody nominating me for a Bloggie award?
Ahem, anyway, the idea popped into my head the other day that there are a couple of characters where I prefer the movie version to the comic book version.
Seems like a pretty simple idea. I’m a big comic book geek who loves some of the most obscure characters. It’s a little embarrassing when somebody who knows I loves comics asks who my favorite superhero is, and I have to honestly reply “Multiple Man”, and then explain who that even is. Thankfully, we’ve got great superhero movies now, and I can name some of these popular movie versions!
For the Third Time, Let’s Underestimate a Star Wars Cartoon
Star Wars: Resistance is happening and I bet I’ll love it. But right now, I don’t care for it. I don’t like the animation style, and everything about it seems so…I dunno. I don’t want to say ‘bland’, more like ‘manufactured’. But that’s the same thing I thought about Star Wars: Rebels, and that turned out to be a nifty show.
I’m just going to keep underestimating these Star Wars cartoons, and then keep having my doubt laughed back into my face when the shows turn out to be good.
