New Logan Trailer Is OK, I Guess
Compared to the Mighty Morpin’ craziness of the Power Rangers trailer earlier, I just don’t think this new Logan trailer holds up. The tone could be interesting, but what exactly are we seeing here? Old Man Logan learns to be a softy again thanks to impressionable young girl?
At least they seem to be getting their R-ratings’ worth of swear words and blood. I suppose that counts for something to movie executives.

The Power Rangers Trailer We’ve Been Waiting For!
Remember that first trailer for the Power Rangers movie, which seemed more like a reboot of The Breakfast Club? Yeah, forget all that stuff. It’s time to see the real, full, crazy movie!
This has got everything! Morphing! Zords! Monsters! Jokes! Putties! Craziness! Zordon! Alpha! This really does look like the freakin’ Power Rangers! This is crazy, crazy stuff, and I’m more excited than ever about this movie!

6 Insane Characters Peter Dinklage Could Play Other Than Pip the Troll
Awesome actor extraordinaire Peter Dinklage was recently announced as being in talks to star in the two upcoming Avengers sequels. So I had the bright idea of doing a List of Six about the possible roles that Dinklage could play. Of course, the entire rest of the Internet had the very same idea. Clearly great minds think alike.
So much Dinklage attention!
The smart thing to do would be to cut my losses and just do another list. But then I got to thinking: why not just be lazy and make my own list anyway? I’ve never done a list about Peter Dinklage before. Why not? Besides, pretty much everybody on the Internet has pegged Dinklage for the same handful of potential characters: Pip the Troll, the Watcher, Mephisto, Adam Warlock or M.O.D.O.K. And yeah, these are all solid ideas.
But what if I opened up the awesome expanse of my geeky mind and came up with six character possibilities that no sane person would possibly consider?! Yeah, that might be fun.
Holy Robin! It’s Robin in Injustice League 2!
My interest in DC Comics video games rises and falls with whether or not Robin is involved. I’m shameless in this, and I don’t mind. So when Robin didn’t appear in Injustice: Gods Among Us, I was a little less interested in the game — though it did feature Nightwing, and Robin was involved in the tie-in comics.
Well the new trailer for Injustice 2 features Robin for reals, people! It’s Damian Wayne, to be sure, but he’s got a real Robin costume!
Robin shows up about a minute into the trailer fighting Batman. So it’s not like my dream come true of a heroic Tim Drake version is going to happen. But I will take what I can get.
Here’s a screenshot showing off the Robin costume!
Not the best interpretation of a Robin costume, not even in video games. But like I said, I’ll take what I can get. I am not 100% more interested in Injustice 2.

Marvel is Definitely Still Trolling the X-Men
We’re only 2.5 issues into Inhumans vs. X-Men, but it’s quite clear to me that Marvel is still trolling the X-Men as hard as humanly possible. I’ve written about this before, and I don’t know why I’m surprised that Inhumans vs. X-Men is continuing the trend. Of course Marvel is trolling the X-Men in favor of the Inhumans. They’ve been doing it for years, and they’re quite good at it.
My theory is this: Ever since X-Men: Schism, and definitely peak Avengers vs. X-Men, Marvel has been writing the X-Men as the clear, reasonable good guy in any situation, but they’ve been presenting the X-Men as the bad guys.
It’s a clear case of history being written by the winners.
Oh Kamala Khan, must they drag you into everything?
It happened to Cyclops in Schism. It happened to the X-Men in Avengers vs. X-Men. It happened to Cyclops again in both Uncanny X-Men and Death of X. And now that the X-Men are going up against Marvel’s beloved Inhumans, it is happening again in Inhumans vs. X-Men.
Join me after the jump to let me lay out my theory. And beware full SPOILERS for Inhumans vs. X-Men so far.
