What does Animal Crossing New Horizons need?

The Mandalorian Is Coming
It will be set in the time period a few years after the events of "The Return of the Jedi". The show will be located in the outer rim, far from the influence of the New Republic. It will be the story of a lone gunslinger, scoundrel, a bounty hunter.
With both Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), expectations are very high. Both of these men have proven themselves in their craft. Below is the new trailer for "The Mandalorian":

Who Is the Next Marvel Villain?
Who might be the next big Marvel baddie?
Who is going to show up to give our heroes a new treat to their peace and happiness? Who is going to wreck the happiness that they are finally feeling after the world has been set right again?
Will this villain make an appearance in a post credit scene or will we have to wait?
How much longer can we WAIT to see this movie without EXPLODING from anticipation??? (deep breaths... deep breaths...)
Soon Thanos will be gone and the world will be right again. Some of our heroes maybe forever changed, but hopefully the Thanos story is completely wrapped up. We know that the universe moves forward and so our heroes will need another antagonist. Who will burst out of the scene to cause trouble in the MCU.
I believe it is time for Kang the Conqueror.
Kang is a time traveling genius that has amazing technology at his disposal. He desire to to conqueror and rule and he believes he is entitled to do so.
Why Kang?
1. If the Avengers use some form of time travel to reverse the affects of Infinity War, then they have opened up the MCU to time travel.
2. Now that Disney owns Fox, they have access to The Fantastic Four and Kang is a great villain to introduce them to the MCU without having to deal with a baddie that is Galactus yet.
3. You need a villain that can bridge you from Thanos to the next mega bad guy, but still feel like a threat for a phase or two.
4. We are going to need time to connect to new heroes and Kang is the perfect type of villain to get us to love our new heroes.
5. Wanting to conquer and rule is a great antithesis to Thanos' desire to just balance the universe.
We all know that a new bad guy is on the horizon. The question is not "if", but rather "who" and "when".
I believe we will get a hint of the new villain without him (or her) actually being revealed at the end of Avengers: Endgame. I believe the heroes will have a moment to breath, but the universe will begin to stir as a new danger arises.
Kang sounds like a possibility to me... What do you think?

Movies of 2019
Wow what a list... I had no idea some of these movies were coming out. My most anticipated of this list are Captain Marvel (March), Marvel's Avengers: Endgame (April). Spider-Man: Far From Home (July), and of course Star Wars: Episode IX (December). Disney has a lot of movies coming out this year not just there Marvel and Star Wars movies. Pixar's Toy Story 4 has to be a must-see.
I hope you enjoy my list of 2019 movies. Which ones can you not wait to see? Please comment below.

Did Avengers Infinity War introduce S.W.O.R.D.?
Well... kind of...
If you have not seen Avenger's Infinity War I would suggest you do not read this blog.
Okay...
Everyone still here has seen the movie so I am wondering if the post credit seen was just a tease of Captain Marvel or could it also have a bigger meaning. Did we just get introduced to S.W.O.R.D.?
S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department) is a fictional counter-terrorism and intelligence agency appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Its purpose is to deal with extraterrestrial threats to world security. (From Wikipedia)
Thanos would definitely fit within their job-description and be a neat addition to the next phase of the MCU.
If it was a call to S.W.O.R.D. it does raise a few questions.
1. Where have they been?
2. Why didn't they respond to the Chitauri invasion? (or did they?)
3. What is their relationship with Shield?
4. What is Captain Marvel's role with the organization?
I am very excited for the MCU to introduce Carol Danvers. She is a game-changer and hopefully she is bringing along with her the entire might of S.W.O.R.D. to reign down fire on Thanos and help restore order to the universe.

Are You Ready for Infinity War?
Who dies?
Who is just no longer an Avenger?
With the release of the biggest movie of all time...well, at least it was the movie with the longest build up of all time...everyone is wondering who will make it out of this first movie and into the second. I believe most of our heroes will make it through, but some may suffer major damage. I think Vision is in real trouble, but I do not know if they will just kill him off. He could always return to being a computer-based AI for now. Hawkeye will probably not even appear until the next movie or the very end of this one. I believe Captain America is a good candidate for a potential loss at either the end of this film or the end of the next.
The only thing that is certain is the landscape of the MCU is about to change greatly. Who do you think is leaving? Will they all make it through?

Kim Possible movie
My daughter's favorite childhood cartoon is finally returning to Disney Channel but not as a new cartoon but as a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie). My hope is they will use the source material and make my daughter proud. We will just have to wait and see who they cast. They have to nail both Kim and Ron to make it work.

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?

X-men on Fox
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.

Are These the Droids You're Looking For?
There have already been several characters announced that will have major roles (i.e. Darth Vader, Mon Mothma) or cameos (i.e Bail Organa). There are a few more characters that are key to the end of this film that I wonder if we will see.
1. Princess Leia - At the beginning of a New Hope we know that Princess is on the run from Darth Vader with the stolen plans. When did she get those plans and from whom? Will we see some form of a lady in a white dress with her hair in buns boarding a Rebel blockade runner?
2. C-3PO - Will we see a certain golden body protocol droid that is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication? We know that he is also on the Rebel blockade runner at the beginning of A New Hope. Will Threepio show up with Bail Organa?
3. R2-D2 - One of the most important little droids to the Star Wars galaxy is C-3PO counterpart R2D2. He has been in every episodic film. He is always in trouble and definitely a part of the action. How did he get the plans? What role will he play in Rogue One?
I do not know if we will see any of these classic characters, but if I had to guess which one is most like to be a part of Rogue One, it would be R2-D2. The other 2 may make some form of a cameo, but I am beginning to think that R2-D2 may play some role in the third act of this film. What do you think? Who might we see? Will R2 play a role in Rogue One?

Rogue One: A Few Things to Know
1. Rogue One is the first stand alone movie in the new Star Wars cinematic galaxy. It will have familiar elements such as Stormtroopers, AT-AT, and ships. This movie will not have Luke, Leia, and Han. Also, it will also not have the new characters like Rey, Finn, and Poe. It will have a cast unique to the story they are telling here.
2. Rogue One is set in a time before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The story is taken directly from the first few lines of the opening crawl. ("It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.) We are getting a peak into the battle and how much it cost the rebellion to get those plans.
3. Rogue One is going have some other very familiar things. We will get to see the rebels and The Empire. We will see some characters like Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and even Darth Vader. There will be TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers, and a newly built Death Star.
4. Rogue One is not set on a familiar planet. It is being promoted as a war film. This film is supposed to be the grittiest of the Star Wars films thus far.
5. Rogue One will have a conclusion. The is a self-contained movie. There are not plans (of course you never know with Disney) to use these characters again. Do not expect Rogue Two to be announced in January of 2017.
If you still were not clear on what Rogue One was and how it fits into the Star Wars Galaxy, I hope this helps. Please feel free to share this blog with your friends who may still have questions on what the new Star Wars movie is all about. In 2017, we can talk about Episode VIII.

Are you Excited for the Jungle Book?
Do you want to revisit the world of Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and Shere Khan? Are you interested in Christopher Walken's interpretation of King Louie?
The critics have had a chance to see the movie and they are very excited. I am sure this will not last, but as of today (April 5, 2016) Jon Favreau's adaptation of Disney's The Jungle Book has a Rotten Tomatoes scores of 100%. This movie is set to hit theaters on tax day, April 15, 2016.
Are you planning on seeing the movie? Does hearing that the movie has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes make you more likely to see it in theaters?
