The crossover from the Karaté Kid reboot and the post-Cobra Kai seasons Karaté Kid original series nobody expected is actually shaping up nicely. Although i find the plot a tad bit weird, with legend Jackie Chan seeking Ralph Macchio for help to train a kid. I feel like the opposite would have made more sense...
The movie does look nice, so color my hyped.
I honestly just found out Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was a separate game from MultiVersus. And Nickelodeon Brawl was already out for a few months.
I mean, both games kinda looked the same to me. Big cartoony random crossover, lots of random ips that don't look good next to each other.. I didn't notice the Nickelodeon or Warner Bros-part of their titles...
Anyways, who thinks this looks just as random and bad as Warner's MultiVersus?
This is no simple fighting game. This is a fever dream.
What the heck??
The more time passes, the more those early leaks are starting to get confirmed.
Here's the brand new trailer for SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, which I just discovered this morning before going to work...
It looks... weird.. chaotic... crossover-y... like an underwhelming comic book event/take on Into the Spider-Verse.. I'm both hyped and tired by looking at it all. I dig the returning villains, but less so the crossover-plot. I like the culmination of the Sinister Six, but not these past-movies "echos". Jamie Foxx gets a better Elektro redesign, but the Green Goblin didn't bring the scrapped goblin look from Sam Raimi's concepts... I dunno.. It's both too much and not enough, if you get it?
The tipping point might be... I feel like this is either avoiding Venom or not showing him yet. And will it be the Sam Raimi Venom or the new Tom Hardy one? Or both???
Anyways, I will probably end up catching this at some point, but the film's coming up on theaters December 17.
This one is looking pretty good, tho. A strange mix of a live action Spider-Verse with a bit of Dr Strange 2 in the mix. I would have prefered a simpler more grounded Spider-Man film.. but then again, there's the Raimi films for that. So let this one be a bit more crazy over-the-top comic book-y:
DOC OCK IS BACK!!!
Let's admit it, Warner Bros. just really wanted to make another pop culture-filled Ready Player One CGi fest... with real outdated pop culture-references..
This is a very weird marketing.. and movie. People wanted to see the movie as long as it was just a rumor for decades. But with each new preview people are less and less interested in it.
By now it just looks like cringe in physical form...
The latest trailer for Shang-Chi shows us more of what we're all expecting for the film, action scenes, kung-fu, special effeHOLYMOLEY!!ISTHAT THE FRIGGIN ABOMINATION FROM THE INCREDIBLE HULK WITH EDWARD NORTON????? HE'S FIGHTING WONG??? THEY EVEN FIXED HIS DESIGN AND ADDED HIS AWESOME GARGOYLE EARS!!! FINALLY ALL IS RIGHT IN THE MCU!!!
Here's... something. I guess..?
A bunch of classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons are being revamped in a new (crossover) show - Jellystone!
I can hear the "CallArts style" detractor from miles away...
Let's just say, it doesn't look anything like classic Hanna-Barbera on-model stuff. For me? It just looks a bit too random "Teen Titans Go!"-esque, with references and all.
Here's the trailer
Expect to see Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, Boo Boo, and Huckleberry Hound, and Jabberjaw and Top Cat and Snagglepuss and El Kabong and Wally Gator and Johnny Quest and Hadji and Shag Rugg and Captain Caveman and a whole lot more on HBO Max pretty soon!
Straight Outta Nowhere, here comes the Scooby Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog crossover we never expected but always wanted:
I knew this wasn't really going to be Space Jam 2. From the previous previews, this seemed to be something closer to Wreck-it-Ralph or Ready Player One...
Warner surely want crazy with the virtual reality and WB-approved cameos on this one, heh.. Check it out, Space Jam: A New Legacy!
Jack Nicholson Joker, Jim Carrey The Mask, Burton-Catwoman, 60s-Catwoman, The Iron Giant (WB going against everything that the Iron Giant stood in his own film - putting him into big epic action scenes-cameos.. again..), The Jetson, Space Ghost and many more.. I can already imagine all the clickbait articles and videos screenshoting this trailer instead of talking about its quality... Quantity has replaced quality in this day and age.. sigh..
I'm not saying Space Jam 1 was high quality either. But it certainly had more heart, for a simple dumb movie about Michael Jordan playing basket with the Looney Tunes, despite it being a film based on a commercial...
All I'm saying is I'm gonna rewatch Back in Action this week.
Anyways, "A New Legacy" opens in theaters and HBO Max July 16.
Man, the final trailer is DOPE! It really gets me pumped for the film!
Can't wait!
Loving the colors. Really enjoying the visuals and neon lights... Still no look at the real "foe(s)" behind this Godzilla vs Kong story....!
Gremlins! GREMLINS!! GREMLINS EVERYWHERE!!
While people are getting hyped for a new Gremlns entry, the currently announced animated series, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, I would personally have preferred a new live action films featuring puppets.
Hey, but at least the show sees the return of some actors to voice on the show as well as Joe Dante supervising the whole thing.
But, hey, I do think it shouldn't cost that much to have actual puppets. Several commercials over he decades featured Gremlins and they mostly always looked on par with the films.
Here's the latest to date, for Mountain Dew. Which was made to hype the actual upcoming Secrets of the Mogwai cartoon, but is the closest thing we'll ever get to a proper Gremlins 3:
Awesome! This makes me hope we actually get the third film actually.. Even his daughter has her own mogwai in this future? I'm sold!
Here's two more fantastic classic Gremlins tie-in commercials:
I gotta say it right away, I can't not say it.
MECHAGODZILLA is in the film?? Look at 0:02-04!! That's Mecha-G's robotic face! And later at 1:41, Robot-kaiju schematics! YAY!!
I can't wait! GET PSYCHED!!
I'm honestly more hyped for Legendary's take on Mecha-G than for the Godzilla vs. King Kong rematch - true words!!
Gimme more giant monsters! MOAR!!
(And, hey Japan, give us more Japanese kaiju as well!! Where's that Shin Godzilla 2 or Smog Monster remake movie??)
Alright, enough Disney.
And here's some of the recent gaming announcements that sorta caught my eyes. Not all great, mind you.
Sephiroth is entering Smash Bros.
Enough with FFVII. I ADORE it. But you know there's other FF, Square? How about some Warriors of Light, next time? 6? 8? 9? Heck, give us Tidus in Smash, you cowards!
Microsoft randomly announced a new Perfect Dark! What?? (I would have been more impressed with a new Banjo or Conquer, to be honest.)
The "Next Mass Effect"??? Wait, what? Please. And thank you. I surely expected a new ME game sooner or later. And I even expected a sort of soft reboot to the more familiar trilogy, now coming to the new consoles soon in remastered format while ditching the Andromeda-subseries. Nice. Was that Liara??
The Callisto Protocol - Here's an intriguing new horror game, from the people behind the Dead Space series (now unrelated to EA). Looks neat. Coming 2022 to PC and Consoles.
And finally, I kept the best for last - personally.
Nobody told me there was a new Evil Dead game coming up. Wait... bad news... "Announcing Evil Dead: The Game, coming to PS5 and PS4! Take on all comers in co-op and PvP action - Come Get Some in 2021!" Aw, no. This is just some PvP game like the recent Friday the 13th game... Sigh.. call me once there's an actual new singleplayer Evil Dead title...
Man.. this takes me back to the beginnings of the internet days.
I didn't knew they update this classic song, before people used the word "Meme" on the internet.
But that's basically what it was, the dawn of the Chuck Norris jokes and self-referential humor on the web.
Check out this rockin' updated tune!
