Voltron Trailer Seeks to Reclaim My Childhood
Voltron was one of my favorite cartoons as a child…but I don’t remember anything about it. Obviously I remember the basic premise and stuff, but I can’t recall any episodes or storylines or when I watched it or what I liked about it. But hey, Netflix is bringing it back for a Voltron revival!
Looks like fun, I’ll probably watch. I’ve watched all the other attempts to revive Voltron, either via cartoon or comic book. And I’m a big fan of Netflix binging, so count me in! Hopefully they do justice to the Princess Allura storyline in the beginning. It looks like they might be trying to make it a surprise.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil
Like many comic book fans, I spent this past weekend binge-watching the new season of Daredevil. Once again, Marvel dominates entertainment. This show is everything we comic fans could possibly want from a Daredevil adaptation. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s charming, it’s exciting; this is damn fine television, and fits perfectly with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I also love the Netflix delivery system. I like being able to binge-watch an entire season in a few sittings, getting the whole story in one big go, rather than waiting week to week. It keeps me in the moment, it allows the writers to really dig deep into the material, and create a big tapestry of a story. I loved almost every episode, I loved every storyline, the new characters were great; Daredevil Season 2 was another huge success for Marvel!
Join me after the jump to hear my specific thoughts on the season. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS for the whole season, so read at your own risk.
Daredevil Season 2 Arrives Today!
I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
As far as I’ve seen, all early reviews are very positive! It looks like the quality of Season 1 is going to carry over, and we’re all going to have a great time! Just gotta get through work first…

Finn Jones Has Become Unto a Thing of Iron!
Marvel and Netflix have finally cast their Iron Fist, and it’s Finn Jones, the guy who played Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones. Sounds like a pretty solid choice to me.
For the love of all that is holy, Marvel, please use the modern costume
I’m pretty sure Jones was fine in Game of Thrones, I don’t really remember. Hopefully he can live up to Danny Rand’s potential. He’s got to be fun and make a good team with Michael Colter as Luke Cage. I’m more than willing to give him a chance. Marvel has not failed in the casting department yet.
Iron Fist will come out…some day. But more importantly, the new season of Daredevil arrives next month! Woot!
