The Top 6 Big Animal People in Comics
Animals are a popular, reoccurring theme in superhero comics. Batman and Spider-Man are two of the most popular fictional characters ever. And they’re just at the tippy top! We’ve also got Ant-Man, Blue Beetle, the Porcupine, Robin, and a host of many, many others.
Then there’s the special class of animal-themed characters who are basically just a giant, humanoid version of an animal! This list is about them!
Honorable Mention
Sometimes it’s a normal person in a big, themed costume. And sometimes it’s a normal person transformed into a beastly monster animal. Either way, giant humanoid animal characters are all over comics! Most of the times they’re villains. As if big humanoid animal people can’t be heroes! Either way, I’ve ranked them and put together a list of the best ones! For fun and profit!

Oh For the Love Of…Another Movie Trailer! Mortal Engines!
I didn’t think Ocean’s 8 was that big of a release this weekend, but we’re getting a bajillion movie trailers this week! Or maybe they’re all preparing to go in front of The Incredibles 2 next week? Or Jurassic World in a few weeks? I dunno!
But here’s the first full trailer for Mortal Engines!
Man, that sucked!
Way to kill all the excitement engineered from the first teaser trailer.
I don’t know anything about Mortal Engines. I don’t know if it’s from a book, a comic or the fevered brain of Peter Jackson directly. All I know is that the teaser trailer was insanely cool! Giant motorized cities cruising around the apocalypse having mobile war? It looked amazing! I’d never seen anything like it!
But you know what I have seen before? About 95% of this dumb new trailer.
Are you kidding me with this? You have this crazy original visual to play with and show off, but your trailer is standard stock sequences of Hugo Weaving and vaguely attractive young people standing around in metal hallways debating blah blah blah?!
I realize the movie doesn’t come out until December, and therefore a lot of the CGI probably isn’t finished, but show us something! This movie will live or die on its awesome visuals, and after this trailer, it looks pretty dead to me!
Mortal Engines, show us what you got!

The first LEGO Movie 2 Trailer Has Landed!
Here is the real trailer I wanted to share today! The first trailer/look at The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part! And it looks great!
The first The LEGO Movie was a true masterpiece, as far as I’m concerned. That movie reached me in ways most movies and entertainment don’t anymore. The LEGO Movie touched me.
So I am very, very excited for the sequel! The movie looks nifty. The Mad Max-style stuff looks great, and it appears we’re going into outer space to meet another sub-brand of LEGO! Should be fun.
It’ll hit theaters in February 2019!

So They Really Went and Made a Bumblebee Spin-Off
I never saw the last Transformers movie, the one with the King Arthur stuff. I loved the first movie, but every other one has been trash. I thought we all knew this. Of course, we also knew that they still made a lot of money.
So here’s a spin-off starring Bumblebee! It’s really going to exist!
Looks fine to me. Weird coming of age story starring Bumblebee. If that’s the movie you want to make, more power to you!

The New Trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2 Kind of Wrecks My Interest in the Film
I’m still going to see Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 opening weekend. There’s no doubt or hesitation. But the new trailer released today kind of…I dunno…annoyed me?
See for yourself:
So yeah, the only search result for a website that is “really intense” and “super nuts” is Disney’s own website? And then the trailer just becomes Ralph and Vanellope hanging out with Disney characters and making really obvious Disney Princess jokes?
Does the movie Wreck-It Ralph not exist in this universe? All these Disney characters can exist on the Internet, but but Wreck-It Ralph doesn’t exist as a movie?
I dunno. The trailer just bugged me. It was all self-referential Disney nonsense.
And I get the joke poking fun at itself for the movie name…but it still went with the wrong movie name. “Break the Internet” is not a famous enough phrase to not use “Ralph Wrecks the Internet”, no matter how “kewl” the blue lady was designed to be.
