I Still Think Darth Maul is Cool
There’s a new Darth Maul cartoon coming out in three weeks — Darth Maul: Shadow Lord. It’s set during the Empire, with Darth Maul fighting back because he’s angry. Maybe he’s a crime lord? I dunno. It’s Darth Maul fighting Stormtroopers to some extent. Long before he shows up in Rebels. Maybe before he shows up in Solo? Who can tell.
I think it looks cool and fun. Am I on the edge of my seat? Nah. That’s just not me anymore for anything (except maybe GTA 6). But I’ll gladly watch a new Darth Maul cartoon. I still think he’s cool. I’m still on board for new Star Wars content. And I’m definitely on board with Darth Maul taking a Jedi sidekick to cut down Stormtroopers and fight the Empire. Could be fun.
Darth Maul: Shadow Lord will have 10 episodes on Disney+, starting on April 6.

Our First Look at the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again!
To perhaps celebrate the entire first season of Wonder Man arriving on Disney+, we also got the first ever trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. I enjoyed the first season, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, and I can’t wait for this new season!
Looks good to me. Action, adventure, romance, fun music cues, the return of Jessica Jones; this season will have everything! And this season will be especially good because it’s made by the second creative team. The first season was apparently notoriously bad, and they brought in a second creative team halfway through to try to rebuild what was already filmed and add new material. Now the second season will be made completely by this second creative team. That should be a good sign.
Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.
Here’s a Nifty Trailer for Wonder Man
The next Marvel Studios project to come out will be the Wonder Man TV show at the end of this month, and I’m excited. I have not given up on the MCU and I think this show looks neat. I think it’s going in a fun, weird direction, one that is perfectly captured in this new trailer that came out this week.
Looks good to me! I like a good trailer, one with some nifty editing and real style. We get a bit more of an understanding to Simon Williams in this one, from his powers to his career to everything else. And I’m fully on board! I wanna see the MCU tackle the very idea of Hollywood superhero fatigue. And it looks quirky and funny, which I also enjoy. So I’m here for all of this!
Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ on Jan. 27.

I Am Very Excited for the Wonder Man Show
Marvel revealed the first full Wonder Man trailer at New York Comic-Con this past weekend and I am very excited. I’ve never particularly cared about the character in the comics, but I really, really love the premise of the show. The first trailer gives us a pretty good look at that premise.
So Wonder Man was an old school sci-fi movie in the MCU and it’s getting a modern movie reboot, and the main character of the show wants to play Wonder Man in the movie. That sounds really interesting and neat! I like a good meta show.
The show was created by Destin Daniel Cretton, the guy behind Shang-Chi and, I think, the next Spider-Man movie, so Marvel has a lot of faith in him. And it stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is good in everything. So I’ve got a lot of faith and hope in this one.
I just wish that trailer had given us some kind of hint as to what’s really going on. Is the actor going to get super-powers? Is the director up to something sinister? Or maybe it really is just surface level Hollywood stuff.
We’ll find out when Wonder Man comes to Disney+ on Jan. 27.

Star Wars: Visions is Coming Back!
We got a new trailer late last week for a new season of Star Wars: Visions, which is pretty darn awesome. This is the anthology show where they let a bunch of international animation studios, especially those that work on anime, do some out-of-continuity Star Wars adventures. So lightsabers and spaceships and the Empire and all that good stuff, but in short little cartoons. They’ve been a blast so far!
I couldn’t tell from the trailer, but I’ve heard that some of my favorite bits from season one are going to get sequels in this new season. That’s pretty cool! And then we’ll have more original cartoons. It’s all very fun and exciting.
Season three of Star Wars: Visions comes to Disney+ on Oct. 29.
