DC Brings Even More Movie Trailers – Shazam! and Aquaman!
Just when I thought I could stop posting new movie trailers from San Diego Comic-Con, DC and Warner Bros. hit us with the trailers for their next big superhero movies: Shazam! and Aquaman! Seeing as how I’m a sucker for superhero movies, you’re darn right I’m posting these two trailers!
Shazam! looks pretty good, even though I still can’t get past seeing Zachary Levi as anything other than Zachary Levi.
But I definitely like the trailer. It looks neat and has a nice gimmick.
However, the Aquaman trailer looks cheesy and messy and a little too crazy.
I don’t care for that trailer. It leans way too hard on the big CGI nonsense of Atlantis than on anything I might be interested in. And while I still like Jason Momoa in the role, he’s really only in this trailer to deliver one-liners when they cut to him. And they’re not even good ones.
Mera jumps out of a plane without a parachute, and the only thing the writers could come up with was a crack about redheads? Really? Is there that little creativity put into this film?
Of course, you’re darn right I’m going to see it when it comes out!

So Many Flippin’ Movie Trailers!
I am definitely losing the battle for posting fun stuff from San Diego Comic-Con. There’s been a ton of really neat trailers, and I’m way behind on sharing them, let alone the cool comic book news. But it’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m ready to drop some cool movie trailers on your henchies!
We’ve got Godzilla: King of the Monsers.
Looks darn cool! Bring on all the monsters! I liked the first one, so you best believe I’m excited for this one.
Then we’ve got Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Yeah, totally, more Wizarding World movies! I’m way in favor of those. I’m sure this one will be a blast. Remind me before this movie comes out to tell you all about how Newt Scamander doesn’t actually do anything in the first film in the series.
Then how about the trailer for Glass.
I loved Unbreakable, just like everybody else. I haven’t seen Split yet, but I’m sure it’s fine. And bringing them together sounds good to me! Let’s do it!
I think that’s all the movie trailers I have to share right now. And I know I’m missing some others that debuted. But I’m only one man on only one blog!
I’ll share some TV trailers tomorrow!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/21/18
Holy cow! San Diego Comic-Con is in full effect, with so much comic book news spiraling out that I haven’t had time to keep track of it all! Grant Morrison on a police procedural Green Lantern? Sign me up! G. Willow Wilson on Wonder Woman! Kelly Sue DeConnick on Aquaman! Christos Gage on Superior Octopus! These are gonna be some fun comics!
I skipped a couple of my regular comics this week because I was pretty busy, but I made sure to grab my favorites, like Batman, Power Rangers and Runaways. Comic Book of the Week goes to the second issue of Tony Stark – Iron Man, because I am loving this series!
You’re embarrassing him in front of the wizards
Meanwhile, there was another courtroom scene in this week’s batch of comics, in Tom King’s Batman. Only this time, I didn’t have any problems with it whatsoever! Unlike that Squirrel Girl issue last week, for which I got especially nitpicky. This week’s Batman handles the courtroom scene quite well, from my experience.
Comic Reviews: Batman #51, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #29, Runaways #11, Thor #3 and Tony Stark – Iron Man #2.
There Gets to Be Some Peace on The Walking Dead!
SDCC has revealed a big trailer for the new season of The Walking Dead — which I am watching, without regret. I still enjoy the show.
MAJOR COMIC BOOK SPOILERS BELOW THIS VIDEO.
SPOILERS
I am excited for this new season. I like the characters on The Walking Dead and I want them to have some happiness. So I’m very pleased to see that the new season will take after the comics.
In the comics, there is a 2-year time jump following the defeat of Negan, and Rick Grimes and his pals rebuild a little society. All the communities are working together. There’s peace. It’s awesome! I hope we get to see a lot of that in the new season, though clearly the show has some drama and conflict planned. I can live with that.
And the end of the trailer reveals that the next big threat, The Whisperers, are right around the corner. Not sure how the show will deal with them with Rick and Carl gone. But I have faith.

More SDCC Trailers Give Us Doctor Who and a Really Bad Ninja Turtles
I am just one man, blogging, while also at my day job. There’s a very good chance I won’t get to everything that comes out this weekend from San Diego Comic-Con. But I can post a new trailer like anybody’s business! And these are a bunch that arrived last night!
First up, a proper teaser trailer for the new season of Doctor Who, starring Jodie Whittaker. I like this much better than the quickie we got earlier in the week. We get some actual Doctor in this one, some real personality.
Next up is a story trailer for the Spider-Man game coming to Playstation 4 on Sept. 7. Now that I actually own a Playtation 4, I’m actually very excited about this game. So any new look at what we’re going to get is exciting.
Even if it still runs the risk of being a bad game. We’ll see.
Another trailer we got is a look at the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I quite enjoyed that cartoon, and I guess enough fans did as well that Disney is bringing it back for another batch of brand new episodes!
Anything that gives us more Ahsoka Tano is good news to me! Even if the ultimate Ahsoka/Darth Vader showdown already exists.
Finally, we got another look at that new Ninja Turtles cartoon, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This first look also provides a couple minutes of actual episode. And I can honestly say I won’t be having anything to do with this show. It looks terrible.
That’s not to say I’m one of those bitter fans complaining about how this new show is killing my childhood. Not at all. I’m simply recognizing that this show is not meant for me, and therefore I won’t take part. The animation, the comedy, the entire style of the show is just not for me. But I wish everybody involved the best of luck and I hope their take on the Turtles is successful.
Be sure to keep returning to my blog today as I dutifully attempt to upload all of the trailers and news that I either can or care about.
