TV Trailer Tuesday
This is the most stubborn cold I think I’ve ever had! It just won’t leave my head! I just want my brain back! Thankfully, I can take things a bit easier on this Tuesday, and just share some TV trailers that came around in the past week! I love trailers and I love easy Tuesdays.
First up is a big trailer for the new season of Doctor Who, with the new Doctor.
Looks alright to me! I liked the guy well enough in that Christmas special we saw, so I’m definitely down for watching the new season. I still haven’t watched Jodie Whittaker’s final season and specials. But this is supposed to be a fresh start, and I’m down with that, so we’ll see how it goes!
The new season is coming to Disney+ starting on May 10.
Next up is a great trailer for The Penguin TV show!
That was a great trailer! Granted, it’s basically just a trailer for a crime drama, then breaks that immersion when it reveals the title to be “The Penguin” at the end. Heh. Not very much, or anything at all, in this trailer makes one think Batman vs. Penguin. So I guess we’ll see. I’m all for a new, gritty crime drama, which maybe Batman hiding in the wings? We’ll see!
The Penguin comes to Max in the fall.

Surprise Star Wars Characters Show Up in Bad Batch Season 3
The third and final season of The Bad Batch is coming to Disney+ soon, and it promises to be full of Star Wars action and Star Wars characters. That’s always fun. Personally, I still haven’t seen the second season, but thankfully this trailer doens’t reveal anything too crazy that I missed.
Of course, the big reveal of this trailer is that returning character at the end. No spoilers. I’ve always been a fan of the character, and I’m perfectly happy to see her come back for some awesome action scenes. Why not? Nobody’s ever really gone in Star Wars. As long as the episodes and the action is entertaining.
The third season of The Bad Batch comes to Disney+ on February 21!

6 Thoughts on Echo
Consider me among the people who wasn’t sure if an Echo spin-off series as a great idea. I enjoyed the Hawkeye TV show probably more than most people, and Echo was a fine antagonist in that series, but she wasn’t exactly a showstealer. And her character isn’t exactly all that popular or well known in the comics. But Marvel do what Marvel do, and we got ourselves an Echo TV show!
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
In a change from the normal Marvel show on Disney+, all five episodes of Echo were released on the same day. Ultimately, this was a great idea, because those episodes were not meaty enough to warrant week-by-week release. I was able to binge the whole thing over a few nights and I can say I’m pleased with the final product. It’s not as bad as I feared, though it also didn’t do much to warrant existing. Still, there’s more good than bad in the first season of Echo and I wouldn’t mind seeing more — especially guest starring elsewhere.
Join me after the jump for my review and full thoughts on the Echo TV show! Expect SOME SPOILERS for the show, and feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryFriendly Reminder: New Marvel What If…? Starts Today!
The new season of Marvel’s What If…? cartoon starts today! It’s available on Disney+ as we speak! I really enjoyed the first season, and I have high hopes for this second season. Marvel is still good to me and I’m happy to watch. I’ll probably binge some of the episodes this weekend when I head out of town to visit family for Christmas.
Here’s a very brief trailer/ad that came out yesterday about today’s debut.
Yeah, that trailer heavily implies that What If…? will start “tomorrow”, but I assure you, that trailer came out yesterday. What If…? starts today! So go watch.
I’m most excited to see the new, 1980s era Avengers. I even bought the Goliath Marvel Legends action figure because I think it’s neat that he gets to exist in cartoon and toy form only. So we’ll see how that episode goes.

Marvel Trailer Thursday
Look, I don’t run the world. I didn’t decide that two trailers for Marvel projects would come out yesterday, even if one was only Marvel adjacent. I like to share trailers. Here are some neat trailers. What am I supposed to do about it, other than share them?!
First up is the good trailer, for the second season of What If…?
Looks great to me! Avengers circa 1980s MCU? Heck yeah! Everybody on the Collector’s planet doing deadly stock car racing? Heck yeah! There’s supposed to be a Christmas episode. And a 1602 episode. So I’m fully on board with more of this cartoon. It’s gonna come out daily at Christmas, which is a neat idea. Let’s see how that works!
Next up is the trailer, and our first real look, at Madame Web. This is gonna be a dumpster fire.
I have always thought this movie would be a trainwreck, and this trailer confirms it. Man, what a mess. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening, but it does not look good. Madame Web is the worst possible choice Sony could have made for another attempted Spider-Man adjacent movie, and they have done nothing with the character. Throw in a bunch of other female Spider characters from Marvel, and it just gets worse.
This is gonna be a big disaster than Morbius. Madame Web comes out for Valentine’s Day.
