Toon Trailer Tuesday
It’s a Tuesday. I’ve got some cartoon trailers, some leftover from Comic-Con, so I feel like sharing. First up is the trailer for the next season of Solar Opposites, which is still good.
The new voice is normal now, and Solar Opposites remains a fun, weird show. And to double up on them, how about a trailer specifically for the next chapter of The Wall saga?!
Yeah, that’s a good way to spend a Tuesday. Solar Opposites returns to Hulu on Aug. 12! So next week! Neat.
Then we’ve got the Comic-Con trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. How sad that this show is coming to and end. This is MY Star Trek show! These are MY Star Trek characters! I will follow them wherever they go! Hopefully a sequel series, or a live action something…
Star Trek: Lower Decks returns to Paramount+ on Oct. 24, so very far in the future.

Live Action Animated Wolverine!
Tell It Animated is back with Wolverine! Deadpool & Wolverine is still making box office money, so this still fits! And it’s a fun little video, tracing all the live action Wolverine costumes through the movies. Shame he couldn’t include the animated Wolverines as well.
Wolverine’s black leather outfits weren’t so bad. I like the gold lining they had, and the stripes here and there. And the new yellow outfit totally works. Has anyone photoshopped what the new movie outfit would look like if he kept the shoulder pads while going sleeveless? I’m sure they thought about it while making the movie and it looked dumb, but I’d still enjoy.
Anyway, as always, should he ever read these posts, my suggestion for a new one is Robin! Not that there’s any Robin content coming out anytime soon…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/3/24
Another week, another pile of comics, and life moves on nicely. This was one of those weird Fifth Wednesdays, so not as many comics, but we do have some important ones like the end of Power Rangers and the start of X-Force.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ultimate Spider-Man #7 because I liked it the best out of the comics I read this week.
Meanwhile, the Kickstarter is up and running for the second issue of the Cloakroom, the short story anthology for students in Scott Snyder’s Comic Writing 101 class. Snyder has a ton of stuff going on these days, and I haven’t even really dug into much of it yet, but I’m happy to support my classmates! I was featured in the first issue, and hope to see many more issues to come! So go support up-and-coming comic writers!
Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1, Ultimate Spider-Man #7 and X-Force #1.

Riki Lindhome is one half of the comedy music duo Garfunkel & Oates and she appears to have come out with her own, original solo single, called “Don’t Google Mommy.” I don’t know anything about the current status of the band, and Google didn’t tell me anything (damn, I Googled her!), but the song and video are pretty darn funny, so I’m sharing.
I hope this brightens everyone’s Friday as much as it does mine. If Kate Micucci makes her own solo single one of these days, someone let me know so I can check it out as well!

6 Thoughts on Deadpool & Wolverine (Review)
The Marvel Universe is back, baby! Is what I would say if I were into saying silly things like that. At the very least, Deadpool and Wolverine are back, and that’s good enough. I’m a big fan of the first two Deadpool movies, I’m a lukewarm fan of all those Fox X-Men movies, and I’m a huge fan of the MCU movies, so I went into Deadpool & Wolverine very excited. The movie only sort of disappointed.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
Yep, I’m one of those people who didn’t completely and absolutely love Deadpool & Wolverine. I’ll obviously explain why in the thoughts below, but mostly the abundance of cameos/Easter Eggs did not outweigh the crummy story/plot. I thought the performances were great and had fun with the cameos, but they alone do not make a movie — especially since some were either already spoiled for me months ago or some were just predictable.
A surprise cameo just isn’t very fun when my reaction is, “Oh OK, so they went with him/her, gotcha.”
At any rate, let’s get this review underway! Join me after the jump for my full review and thoughts on Deadpool & Wolverine. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie and all the cameos/Easter Eggs. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
