Zack Snyder’s Justice League Continues to Look Worse and Worse
All opinions are my own. Zack Snyder’s version of the Justice League movie — now a 4-hour movie — is only a month or so away and it looks terrible. The first full, official trailer was released on Valentine’s Day and it’s…oh jeez. It’s a beast of a monstrosity.
This isn’t satire. This isn’t parody. This is real. This is…jeez, what is this? Slow, melodramatic, so full of itself…at least he didn’t re-use Hallelujah again! This thing looks like madness, and every trailer is worse than the last. I’m a huge fan of movie trailers, but this looks so unappealing.
I’m probably still gonna watch it! Zack Snyder’s Justice League comes to HBO Max on March 13!

The Nevers Looks to be a Pretty Cool Joss Whedon Show!
Joss Whedon is a controversial character these days for reasons I’m not going to go into. This isn’t the sort of blog that does that. But say what you will, the man made some pretty awesome television back in the day! And he’s got a new show coming out on HBO Max: The Nevers. I believe it’s about people with super-powers in Victorian-era England?
I think it looks pretty cool. Some of my favorite TV, movie and comic book writing comes from Whedon, so I’m a fan, in spite of the controversy. It’s a shame he’s already left The Nevers.
Also, this sounds an awful lot like the plot of Whedon’s stint on the Runaways comic. Remember that? He sent the team back in time to early 20th century America, where they met a whole bunch of people with super-powers. I didn’t particularly like that story at the time…but perhaps Whedon has decided to give the idea its own proper home? We’ll see!
The Nevers comes out in April.

Wonder Woman 1984 is Right Around the Corner!
So Warner Bros. recently made the very bold decision that all of their major 2021 movies are going to release simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. The first up is Wonder Woman 1984, which is coming out on Christmas Day. I can’t wait!
Personally, I’m kind of excited about this HBO Max thing. For one, it means I’ll get to see movies again, because I doubt theaters in my area will get to open anytime soon. For another…I dunno! I’m excited to see how it changes the upcoming movie landscape? I’m excited to see how it changes the world? I guess we’ll find out!
Meanwhile, early social media reactions to Wonder Woman 1984 have been very positive…but then those are usually overwhelmingly positive. But we have no reason to doubt them. The first Wonder Woman movie was good, and surely the filmmakers have grown and learned since then.

We’ve Had a Live Action Starfire This Whole Time!
The third season of the TV show Titans is due out…I think any year now…on HBO Max! We’ve already seen the live action Red Hood costume, and now they’ve revealed the new, more comics-accurate Starfire costume!
Here’s actor Anna Diop in the flashy purple Starfire costume!
I think it looks neat! It also looks a little awkward, but then a proper comic book Starfire costume was probably always going to look awkward. At least she’s not being made to wear a purple metal bikini on national TV…or HBO Max.
I still need to watch the second season of Titans.

There’s Gonna Be Even More Adventure Time!
Adventure Time may be over, but apparently HBO Max is all about adding a few more adventures with their Distant Lands sequels. I still haven’t watched the BMO movie, but here’s one starring Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum!
Distant Lands: Obsidian will start airing on Nov. 19 and it should be fun in that we can actually enjoy the Marceline/Bubblegum romance instead of it just being something that happened at the end of the show. Depending on how many of these Distant Lands bits we get, I’ll definitely have to binge them all in a weekend some day.
