The Last Jedi Trailer

The new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released. You can click here to watch it on Youtube. I am very excited for this movie.

A few things I observed when watching this trailer. 1.) Rey is very powerful and so is Kylo Ren. 2.) The character of Leia is going to be treated with amazing care. 3.) Phasma is finally going to do something. 4.) Luke is going to be a very different jedi then the one we saw in RotJ.

I am also wondering about the white wolf/fox we see in the trailer. Could this be a tribute to Dave Filoni? It would be well deserved honor. I hope that they placed this creature in The Last Jedi in honor of all of his hard work for the Star Wars galaxy.

What did you think of the trailer? Are you ready for the new Star Wars film? Please let me know in the comments below.

Who Won the Summer Superhero Title?

Summer is coming to an end and it is time to look back and decide who won the superhero crown of summer 2017. In my opinion, there are 3 strong contenders. Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (GotG2), and of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Wonder Woman was a great movie. As a father, I love the message it had for girls. She was beautiful and powerful. She was the master of her own destiny. Besides the message, DC delivered a superhero movie that was as good as any MCU film. One of the reasons I liked it so much was that it was not just a copy of a Marvel movie. It was an original story that included her origins, but did not only dwell there.

Spider-Man: Homecoming was my second favorite Spider-man film of all time. I actually liked parts of it better than Spider-Man 2. It choose not to rehash Spider-Man's origin, but instead, accept the fact that most of us know it.

GotG2 was a fun ride to take again. It did a wonderful job of recapturing most of the magic of the first one. The film picked up at the end of the other one and moved the story forward. The chemistry has only gotten stronger between this cast.

The crown ultimately goes to Wonder Woman, but just barely. All three of these movies were great.   

X-men on Fox

X-Men are coming back to TV

After FX released the eight episodes of their X-men based Legion, Fox has released their trailer for the new mutant series The Gifted. From the trailer, one can gather that this TV show is going to be a part of the bigger X-men universe even if it is not directly connected. Marvel's itself is attached to this series so we will all have to see how well it does. It does not look like the X-men universe is going to cross-over with the rest of the MCU but with such a big cast of characters the possibilities are vast for story lines. Since the X-men cartoon of the 90's, I have been hoping for a well written and live-action version of X-men to be released.

Is this that show? I guess only time will tell.

New Spider-Man Homecoming Trailer

Spider-Man with Marvel.... I am excited.

Peter Capaldi is Leaving Dr. Who

Peter Capaldi announced that season would be his last season as the Doctor. He is going to exit the series and the Christmas special in 2017 will be his last episode. This means that the new head team for the British series will be starting fresh in 2018. It will be exciting to see who replaces Capaldi and what direction the series will take. Will we finally get our first female Doctor? Will the doctor be another race? I guess it can be said that "only time will tell."

Star Wars Episode VIII gets a Title.

The title of the new Star Wars film was released. Episode VIII is going to be called "The Last Jedi". Does this refer to Luke or Rey? Is Luke the last ever or is it just a reference to the current state of affairs? In the openning crawl of The Force Awakens, Luke is  referred to as "the last Jedi". I guess we will find out December 15, 2017.
