My Thoughts on the D23 Trailers for Marvel and Star Wars
D23 was this past weekend, which is the Disney-specific convention where Disney shows off all their good stuff. We got official announcements of X-Men castings, all of which I approve. We got some theme park news. Some Incredibles 3 and Frozen 3 news. Various things. The biggest, best stuff was three new trailers for upcoming Star Wars and Marvel properties, which I’m here to share and discuss!
If you haven’t seen these yet, and come to my blog for cool trailers, then universe bless you, my friend.
First up, let’s go big with Avengers: Doomsday.
Looks good to me! Personally, I think RDJ sounds a little too subdued as Doctor Doom, but the lines are cool as heck. This trailer does a great job of building up Doom as imposing. I can get behind that. Love Pedro Pascal’s anger. I’m very much looking forward to Doomsday and can’t wait for it to arrive!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.
Next up, sticking with Marvel, it’s our first look at VisionQuest.
Personally, it’s too cerebral for my tastes. But that’s just an initial reaction to the trailer. I have no doubt that Paul Bettany and James Spader will kill it! WandaVision was great, Agatha All Along was great, so I’ve no doubt that VisionQuest will also be pretty darn great. I believe in greatness. I trust in this creative team.
VisionQuest will come to Disney+ starting on Oct. 14.
Last but not least is our first look at the second season of Ahsoka!
Personally, I was underwhelmed with the first season of Ahsoka. I like the character. I like Rosario Dawson’s portrayal. But I didn’t like where the season ended up. So I’m a bit hesitant. But I think that trailer looks amazing! A TV show is going to have that level of space battle?! Hells yes! I’m also a big fan of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, so I hope their storyline really goes somewhere fun this season, even with the actor change. So this trailer did it’s job and got me excited for season two. I’m gonna keep my hopes up.
Ahsoka returns to Disney+ on Jan. 20, so it’s a ways off.

Here We Go: Avengers: Doomsday Trailer!
I was at work in a courtroom yesterday morning, followed by watching the 3-hour The Odyssey movie, so when this Avengers: Doomsday trailer randomly dropped on a Monday morning, I was in no position to post it. So I waited until today. That’s good enough.
I like it, but I’d say I’m not too hyped. I’m at a plateau of hype for most Marvel projects these days. I have enjoyed every single one — with the exception of Secret Invasion — so I fully expect Doomsday to be good. I fully expect to enjoy it. Bring it on. Let’s have a good movie where everybody shows up and teams up and Doctor Doom is awesome. Should be a hoot. Should be a good time. Cameos just don’t wow me at this point in my jaded life. So I’ll just have to wait and see the movie and enjoy it.
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.

These Avengers: Doomsday Teasers Keep Winning Me Over
I’m not ashamed of the fact that I’m a Marvel Zombie. I love Marvel. I’ve loved pretty much every project they’ve put out since Endgame. I’m definitely looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday in December. And these trailers are proving to be a winning strategy.
That’s just fun. Seeing characters interact is going to be one of the great joys of Doomsday, and here we get a taste of it. And it’s a great taste! Bring on the fun character interactions! Bring on more of these teasers!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters next December.

Here There Be X-Men
Alright, I’m fully on board with these Avengers: Doomsday teasers. They’re short and sweet and the new one is pretty cool. It’s the X-Men! The classic Fox X-Men!
Personally, I’m over the Fox X-Men. I’m ready for Marvel to reboot that franchise into their own MCU characters. But we’re here anyway, and I’m probably going to have fun with it, so who am I to stop them? There’s no denying that Ian McKellen is the best there is, so why not let him and his buddy Patrick Stewart have another go? And that Cyclops badassery is choice.
Avengers Doomsday is now less than a year away, next December.

Now We’ve Got a Thor-Based Teaser for Avengers: Doomsday
Alright, I see what’s happening here. We got a Captain America teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday last week. Now we’ve got one for Thor. Check it out. It’s brief and doesn’t spoil anything…other than Thor being in Avengers: Doomsday.
So both trailers end with XXXX will return in Avengers: Doomsday, playing on that familiar coda from a lot of Marvel movies that declared so-and-so character would return. So perhaps we’re going to get a whole series of these short teasers? Teasing a bunch of characters showing up? Now that I can get behind! I was very lukewarm about the Cap trailer last week, and this Thor one doesn’t build much hype for the movie. But a series of ‘Will Return’ trailers could be pretty fun!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters a year from now on Dec. 18.
