A Day of Fan-Made Trailers!
A bunch of very talented people from all across the Internet have decided to use their video-editing skills for the good of mankind, and have produced a couple of really neat fan-made movie trailers! And seeing as how it’s Thursday, I thought I’d share.
Here we’ve got Captain America: Civil War by Alex Luthor.
Luthor then also graces us with his take on a Black Panther trailer.
And finally, a fella going by Prox added a darker, possibly cooler soundtrack to Avengers: Age of Ultron.

6 Superheroes With Football in Their Veins
The Big Game is this Sunday, and I’m not quite sure if an innocent little geek blogger like myself is allowed to use the words ‘Super Bowl’. Uh oh! I just said it! Ah well, hopefully this week’s List of Six can get the NFL on my side and there won’t be any lawsuits. Let’s talk about some football!
More fights should be decided by football
Specifically, let’s talk about superheroes with a penchant for football! That’s more my style anyway. But there’s one problem: there aren’t many sports-themed superheroes! When I tried to do a sports-themed list last year, I had to resort to skateboarders and a guy who throws javelins in order to reach six entries! But this year I went outside my wheelhouse and did some real digging!
So join me after the jump for six superheroes known for tossing around the pigskin!
Behold the First Teaser Trailer for the New Fantastic 4!
Usually movies have to wait for a sequel before they start replacing letters with numbers, but the new Fantastic 4 movie doesn’t have time to waste. So behold, the first teaser trailer for Fant4stic!
I know fandom is prepared to hate this movie, and I’d like to think I’m going to approach this with open eyes, but the trailer doesn’t do much for me yet. The movie looks slick, that’s for sure, but this trailer is a little too moody for my tastes right now. It doesn’t say ‘get excited for the new Fantastic 4 movie’, it says ‘there’s going to be a new Fantastic 4 movie, and here’s a glimpse of what it looks like’. Though I do like the angle that this is a sci-fi movie with a Fantastic 4 twist. And how there is zero attempt to connect to the previous films.
I guess FOX is just hoping that nobody cares enough to remember those other films, and that they’ll embrace this brand new attempt instead.
I’ll definitely go see the movie, and heck, maybe it will even be good, but it has an uphill battle ahead of it this year. Once Age of Ultron hits theaters, nobody is going to care about Fant4stic.
Jeez. It pains me to type that. At any rate, the movie comes out on Aug. 7.

Doctor Who Joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Now that’s a misleading title, isn’t it? But I’m trying my hand at Internet headline trickery today with the news that David Tennant has been cast as the Purple Man in the upcoming Jessica Jones show on Netflix.
I wonder if they’ll paint his skin
I’m a big David Tennant fan, so I’m sure he’ll be particularly awesome in the role. I never read the original Alias story for Jessica Jones, but the Purple Man is particularly evil. He’s got the super-power to control other people like puppets with nothing but his mind…and those kinds of powers get pretty intense and evil in an R-rated story. We’ll see how far Marvel and Netflix want to go with Jessica Jones.

A Big Football Thing is Coming Up!
Look, I assume we’re mostly geeks here, but there’s no reason we can’t bridge the gap with the jocks of the world. That Super Bowly thing is coming up this Sunday, and we can be the force that unites these two warring groups! Let’s start with some quality Internet comedy!
With the help of Bad Lip Reading, I know we can all make this world a better place, whether you’re rooting for the Seapats or the Hawkriots this Sunday!
