Spider-Man is trying to navigate a world where everyone has forgotten Peter Parker, including those that he loved. Despite his efforts, a mysterious threat appears that knows who he cares about. Now Peter teams up with Frank Castle (aka The Punisher) to thwart this new threat.
This is an excellent film. I almost gave it 5 stars, except it felt a little long. It has one of those endings where the writers take an extra 15 minutes to settle a couple of story plots.
I’m a little late posting this; 12.1 dropped in the Midnight expansion last week. In Season 1, our domination continued as we achieved Ahead of the Curve for all three raids (Voidstorm, March on Quel’Danas, and the Dreamrift). We completed our goals with enough time, again, for everyone to take a little break. Given our extraordinary efforts to destroy our foes, leaving destruction in our wake, are we still the heroes? 😉
Be that as it may, the Venomous Abyss awaits us. Each head of Ula’tek should be cowering in fear as we storm the Abyss to thwart her evil plans.
Yes, I know I am a day late posting this trailer. It’s the start of the school year, and getting certain people ready for a new school and the next grade comes with its challenges. ICYMI, the teaser trailer for Ahsoka Season 2 was released at D23 this past weekend. Take a look …
I’m excited to see Hayden Christensen back as Anakin Skywalker. He hasn’t had a role outside of Star Wars since 2019. Maybe he’s decided to embrace the typecast and will live out the rest of his career as live-action Anakin. The fans would love that; I know I would.
Of course, we will not see Ray Stevenson. He joined the Force shortly before the release of the first season, and it’s a shame. However, Rory McCann has been cast in the role. McCann is known for bringing George R. R. Martin’s “The Hound” to life in the Game of Thrones HBO series. I wonder if Filoni will do something to pay homage to him in this season.
The trailer leaves me with giggles and goosebumps, and I can’t wait to see it upon its release. Will we see more about the Mortis gods in live action? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you should probably go watch The Clone Wars, specifically season three episodes 15, 16, & 17.
Season 2 will be out January 20th, 2027 on Disney+
For Action-Adventure Month in 2026, I decided to watch all eight Mission: Impossible movies. It’s been a while since I watched the first few, and I’ve never seen all of them. Actually, I haven’t seen any of them since Ghost Protocol. I feel like I was under the impression that when they added Simon Pegg to the cast, they changed the films’ mood because he’s a comedian.
I was wrong to assume that. Simon Pegg isn’t just a comedy actor; he’s great in drama and action. In fact, by the end of the eighth film, Benji becomes one of my favorite characters (Luther being my first). Obviously, Benji and Luther’s technical prowess is probably one of the qualities that endears them to me. It’s Luther’s nerdy confidence and willingness to die for his team that makes him my favorite character.
Out of the blue, the first official Avengers’ Doomsday trailer dropped. I was not expecting this. They had a few teaser trailers a few months ago featuring Thor, the X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Wakandans, and Steve Rogers. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out …
It looks pretty good. I’m excited to see more of Channing Tatum as Gambit; he was always one of my favorites from the 80s cartoons.
I wonder if this will be enough to pull the MCU out of its downward spiral. Since the Infinity Saga ended, the films have had hits and misses. More of the latter.
Last year, I did the original Superman films, so this year I decided to go back to DC. June’s selections are movies from the DCEU before James Gunn took over. I didn’t watch every film that makes up the DCEU, but I picked the majority. I left out the movies I’d seen most recently and tried to include the ones I hadn’t seen yet.
DC has been struggling to match the success the MCU had during the Infinity Saga. It seems they always struggled to keep things in sync and maintain an engaging story. It really sucks because all of these movies had the proper build-up and post-credits scenes to have something really cool. It will be interesting to see how things change with James Gunn at the helm; he’s off to a solid start.
