New Spider-Man Cartoon Incoming
We’ve known about Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man for a while now and here’s our first full trailer! Not just a teaser. Not just a couple of images. It’s a full trailer for this incoming animated series. I think it looks…fine.
Looks fine. They didn’t seem to want to tease a whole lot of stuff in this trailer, like villains or whatnot. And the animation feels stiff, much like the third season of What If…? And there have been half a dozen different Spider-Man cartoons over the past few years, all aimed at children, so what sets this one apart?
I’ll tell you what sets this one apart…it might feature the Slingers!
That’s a still from some comic-con and three of the four Slingers costumes are right up front! So clearly Peter Parker is going to go through multiple costumes (sans Ricochet, for some reason). What are the chances that those leftover costumes will eventually find their way to forming the Slingers?! A fool can dream.
Anyway, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is happening and it’s coming to Disney+ on Jan. 29, so pretty soon. Neato.

Let’s Start the Week with a Fun TV Show Trailer Montage From Disney Again
A week or two ago, Disney+ put out a trailer for a bunch of upcoming Marvel shows. It was a fun watch. Late last week, they put out another trailer for upcoming Disney+ shows that aren’t Marvel…but with some Marvel? I don’t know the rules of this trailer, but we’ve got looks at Ironheart and Andor season 2, and a bunch of other stuff. Whatever the case may be, this is a good enough video to start a Monday.
And that’s our Monday, folks! Andor season 2 looks good. Ironheart still looks good to me. I’ve enjoyed everything there is to see about Skeleton Crew, also from Star Wars. And I have yet to even watch the third season of The Bear, so I’m behind there. But I’m a man who enjoys having new content to watch. It really keeps me going in these dark, horrible days.
Too bad we have to wait until 2025 for all this stuff. No, wait, Skeleton Crew comes out at the start of December. So that should be fun.

Oh Hey, Here’s a Marvel What If…? Trailer Too
This weekend delivered us some awesome Marvel movie trailers, and yesterday delivered the trailer for the third season of the What If…? cartoon show! I like What If…? It’s a fun show with neat animation. Sometimes they really have fun with it. Let’s hope they have fun with this season.
Yep, that was a really great trailer ending! They made the right choice with that inclusion. That’s what’s going to get people talking. The rest of the trailer looked fun…but I’ll be honest, heh…when it was just people’s faces and not costumes, I couldn’t tell who anybody was. I knew the cowboy was Shang-Chi because of a previous trailer with closed captions. Perhaps I should have turned closed captions on with this trailer, then I’d know who was talking.
Definitely didn’t need them for Storm talking!
The third and final season of What If…? arrives on Dec. 22 for another Christmastime marathon!

How About Another Look at Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
What a couple of weeks. Election anxiety and life anxiety are eating me alive, or at least they’re eating at the parts of me that can focus on blogging. So I haven’t posted much. But it’s Monday, I’ve got to get to work, I’m cold, and I’m finally posting this Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer from late last week. This show definitely looks fun, as far as I’m concerned.
This looks fun. A 1980’s style kids adventure flick set in the Star Wars universe? That sounds neat! Star Wars is definitely transitioning into something similar to the superhero genre, where they explore other genres within the existing framework. Sounds fine to me! We’re always going to get new Star Wars stuff, so they might as well be experimental and interesting, and, of course, good.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is coming to Disney+ starting on Dec. 3.

Agatha All Along is Actually Happening
Once upon a time, Marvel Studios felt unbeatable, and they greenlit a Wandavision spin-off about Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are amazing, but can they make a good show out of this character? The first trailer sure looks witchy and spooky enough.
I think it looks alright. And I’ll definitely be watching. I still have all sorts of faith in Marvel and will gladly watch what they put out. So bring on Agatha Harkness! Give her all sorts of spooky fun adventures. Make it a good show! We’ll find out later this year.
Agatha All Along comes to Disney+ on Sept. 18.
