I realize this isn’t comic book or Star Wars related but it’s kind of fantasy. Honestly, it’s here because I’ve enjoyed the animated films and television series. However, with that said, did we need a live-action adaptation? In my opinion, no. I don’t understand this obsession with creating live-action adaptations of animated films. Be that as it may, here is the How to Train Your Dragon trailer for the live-action adaptation.

Of course, the moment I commit to expanding my content a little bit, we get several new trailers that fall under the “geek canon” genre. DC has been stepping up their game with Superman so Marvel doubles down. First, it was the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer, then, during the Super Bowl, Marvel released the Thunderbolts trailer. Let’s have a look.
If I’m not mistaken Thunderbolts is the Marvel version of DC’s Suicide Squad; misfit anit-heros brought together to save humanity. Marvel needs a serious win right now. They have struggled since ending the Infinity Saga.
This trailer gives us some hope. The humor and dialog are very promising, I just hope they didn’t put all the funny parts in the trailer. The action looks good and engaging. I’m a little excited about it.
I am way behind on all of the series and I need to watch a couple of movies. It should be a goal to get caught up before I see any new films, including Captain America: Brave New World (which comes out this Friday). Thunderbolts* comes out May 2nd.

James Gunn’s story about the son of Krypton has its first teaser trailer. It’s not often that I post many trailers that don’t pertain to Star Wars, but maybe I should. Perhaps I will try to do more of it as long as it’s something I think is interesting and I have some thoughts to share. Without further ado, here is James Gunn’s Superman teaser trailer.
I know it’s rare for me to post a trailer for something that isn’t for a Star Wars film/series but this is a special case. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies so I was surprised to learn of a second film. I’ll admit it’s not a movie I thought needed a sequel because the other one was so great. However, after watching this trailer I’m feeling different. Check out the Gladiator 2 trailer.
It looks really good. I’m glad that Ridley Scott is back as the director. I also noticed Connie Nielsen is reprising her role as Lucilla and Paul Mescal will play her son, Lucius. The film appears to focus on Lucius several years after the death of Maximus.
It’s also exciting to see Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal are in the film. Hans Zimmer will not be back as the composter but Harry Gregson-Williams is a good choice.
What did you think of the trailer?
A bittersweet event. The last trailer before the release of Rise of Skywalker and the final trailer for the Skywalker saga, released on Carrie Fisher’s birthday. Here it is!
HOLY KENOBI OMGBBQ!!!
We were regaled with this trailer for the first time during Monday Night Football. Fortunately you didn’t have to watch the game, just half time. Much to Tom Brady’s chagrin, that is the only reason anybody tuned into the game because nobody likes watching the Patriots.
By no means is this the last Star Wars trailer, there are at least three more coming in 2022, 2024, 2026. Potentially more if the rumor mills are correct about Rian Johnson still working on a movie (or two, or three). It is the last trailer we will see for a couple of years (but we have some live action series to keep the geek fires burning).
A trailer analysis will come later.
Breathe. Just breathe. Now reach out.
So I fail again as I did not realize a new trailer for the Han Solo movie is out. I guess while I’m very cautiously optimistic about this movie, I’m avoiding hype. I have been saying often that I’m skeptical about Alden Ehrenreich’s acting abilities. Before I make any further comments, here is the latest (and probably the last) Solo movie trailer.
Perhaps It’s The Chewie and Han Dynamic
This is the best trailer yet (of course that makes sense with only 6 weeks left). I’m actually a little more excited for the movie. While I’m still not completely sold on Ehrenreich’s acting, but so far the writing seems great. I hope the dynamic between Han and Chewie in the trailer is consistent with the rest of the film. I really hate it when all the best dialog is in the trailer. If the dynamic is maintained throughout the rest of the film, and Ehrenreich’s acting is improved, this movie has a chance to be pretty good. It’s also very encouraging that Ron Howard is the director. I’ll probably have to watch this a few more times to try to glean more.
There are two items from canon that must be kept the same. 1) Han should win the Millennium Falcon from Lando in a game of sabacc. 2) Han and Chewie’s bond forms as a result of a life debt Chewie owes Han for saving his life.
