Star Wars is Getting a Full Anime
I still need to go back and watch the third season of Star Wars: Visions. I’m sure it’s just as quality as the first two seasons. But regardless, one storyline from the first and third seasons is getting turned into a full series anime: Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi.
Looks like it could be fun! So many of those Visions shorts could be full series, in my opinion. But I’m sure they’ve cooked up something fun with The Ninth Jedi. I’m a little worried at how closely it just apes existing Star Wars iconography — like the Darth Vader, the planet killer weapon and the little droid sidekicks — but I’m sure they’ve got something clever up their sleaves. At least I hope they do!
Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi comes to Disney+ on Aug. 5!
Also, check out my rankings of the first season and second season of Star Wars: Visions. And remind me to go watch the third season one of these days…definitely in time for Ninth Jedi.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
We do now live in a world where the Daredevil show on Netflix was fully revived into a new show that’s just as good. The world is not such a dark and horrible place…no wait, it definitely still is. But we can now cling to our little pop culture shows and movies had games to find some joy to be had in all the darkness — and finding joy in darkness is maybe one of the themes of Daredevil: Born Again? I dunno.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
So yeah, season two of Daredevil: Born Again has arrived only a year after the first season, which is a miracle in this day and age. And they’re already working on season three. I watched the episodes week-by-week because I wanted to be part of the zeitgeist, and now I’m doing my roundup review. Am I late to the party? Probably. But I’m not famous enough to get screeners in advance. It’s just little old me, plugging away on this blog still.
Regardless, join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryI 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.
