New Trailers for Supergirl and Masters of the Universe Sure Are Neat!
Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.

The He-Man Movie is Just Going For It, Baby!
I watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe back in the day and had several of the toys. I was an ’80s kid. I barely remember the first movie attempt, also in the 80s. And I’ve enjoyed all of the various reboots I’ve seen over the years (haven’t seen them all). And now Hollywood is trying again with a Masters of the Universe movie. We haven’t seen too much of the film so far…so brace yourselves for this first trailer.
Hooboy, they’re just going for it. Like, they’re slowing down a little bit by having Prince Adam start on Earth, but when they show all the Eternia stuff, it’s just…damn. They’re not holding back! We’ve got Cringer for real. We’ve got Skeletor looking more Skeletor than he’s possibly ever looked! Idris Elba is Man-At-Arms! Fisto is in this!
The age of black leather costumes is past. Now is the age of embracing the insanity and letting it all hang out! And I am here for it! Hopefully we get Ram Man.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution Looks Badass!
For reasons that I think are dumb, a lot of the internet turned against the Kevin Smith He-Man revival on Netflix a year or two ago. But that show kicked ass, and I’m excited to see it come back for a second season! Masters of the Universe: Revolution looks freakin’ awesome in this new trailer!
I loved the first season, and this new season looks even cooler somehow! Action, bitchin’ 80s tunes, and a lot of intrigue and dramatic character growth! I have nothing but high hopes and unshakeable faith in this new season and I can’t wait to watch!
Also, exciting for me, my favorite Masters of the Universe character makes a quick cameo in that trailer! It’s Snout Spout! You can see him at 1:25 in the trailer. Why is Snout Spout my favorite? Because he’s the one random He-Man action figure I had as a kid! I had others, like He-Man and Ram-Man, but Snout Spout was the one weird, random character in my collection. So he’s my favorite! And he’s gonna make an appearance this season! I’m very excited.
Masters of the Universe: Revolution comes to Netflix on Jan. 25.
(P.S. While searching for the date in the trailer, I paused on a screen that shows Gwildor, the Orko stand-in from the live action movie. Holy heck. That is madness. My hopes for this show just rose tenfold!)

TV Trailer Tuesday
Yesterday was all about sharing movie trailers. Today is all about sharing TV show trailers. Makes sense, right? Movies on Monday, TV shows on Tuesday. Keep up. Anyway, a couple really good TV show trailers came out in the past week, and I wanna share. It’s what I do.
First up is Masters of the Universe: Revolution. I really, really enjoyed Revelation and can’t wait for more in this series.
We don’t see too much in that trailer, but we’ve got more Skeletor, Motherboard and now Hordak. Will we get She-Ra? If only. I can hope. And I can also hope that my favorite character, Snout Spout, shows up. He’s the one I had an action figure of, and I want him in the show!
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is coming to Netflix in January.
Next up is the full trailer for Reacher season 2.
I really enjoyed the first season of Reacher. It was a solid, enjoyable action show, and Alan Ritchson is a cool guy. So by all means, enjoy more of your hit show! Make it just as good as season 1. Do it right.
Reacher season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 15.
Finally, our first look at Dead Boy Detectives, the spin-off from Doom Patrol and Sandman.
I never read the comics, but any season created by Neil Gaiman is going to be a hoot! And I’m going to be fully on board. Looks like a fun, spooky show and I’m sure it will be.
Dead Boy Detectives is coming to Netflix soon.

Centaurworld and He-Man Are Coming Back!
I am a big fan of cartoons. And we live in a day and age where there are just a metric ton of fun new cartoons coming out every day. I recently finished the first season of Inside Job on Netflix. Have you heard of that one? I’m pretty sure it flew entirely under the radar. But I watched both that and Chicago Party Aunt this fall, both of which are pretty watchable. We are surely living in a post-Rick and Morty cartoon world.
At any rate, all of this build up is to share two fun trailers for upcoming second seasons. First up is Masters of the Universe: Revelations, the follow up to that apparently controversial first season, because the internet breeds nothing but contempt. I liked the first season, and I look forward to the second.
For one thing, that trailer had an appropriate amount of Ram-Man. Season 2 arrives on Nov. 23, so basically a week from now. That’s pretty cool!
Second, we’ve got the trailer for the second season of Centaurworld, which is great, because I didn’t know it was getting a second season. Centaurworld flew so far under the radar that I was really excited about watching it…and yet I still forgot it existed for at least two months. But then I did watch it and I did enjoy it!
Centaurworld season 2 arrives on Dec. 7! So you’ve got plenty of time to watch the first season to be all caught up. We’ve got some great cartoons and shows ahead of us through the end of the year!
