Deadly Class trailer

One of the best trailers to hit SDCC this year was Deadly Class, based on the graphic novel and produced by the Russo Brothers, a show about teens who go to an academy to learn how to be pro assassins. I’d definitely watch it, it looks entertaining and has some dark comedy. I’ll be keeping an eye out and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mario Kart 64

I needed a little break from covering trailers from this year’s San Diego Comic Con and I remembered seeing something about a N64 classic on Facebook and being thrilled with just the idea. The N64 was my first game system ever.Mario Kart was pretty much a staple for anyone who had the system: Mario and his friends race on go karts through a huge list of tracks with various hazards or you and your friends can battle on Vs mode.

For characters we get Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Bowser, Toad, Yoshi, and Peach; Bowser was always my favorite. I have to give some of the maps a lot of credit for being tricky and innovative, especially for the times. There was a slick ice map where you could easily slide into the water, a haunted dock where you had to evade ghosts, a highway dodging cars, and the Rainbow Road- my absolute favorite track- had who twisting and turning on a rainbow through space while being attacked by huge chomping wrecking ball things ( my friend Violet would know what they are I’m sure.) To make things interesting, you can pick up power ups, whether its banana peels, a mushroom for turbo, turtle shells to blast the competition or the coveted star that makes you faster, invulnerable, and generally kicks ass. And if you ain’t in the mood for a race, have a vs fight on one of four original maps. Each player has a number of balloons tied to them and the last player with balloons left wins.

Mario Kart is an awesome classic that’s simple as hell but fun as can be and deserves a good play. May the gaming gods bring you glory and beware the blue turtle shells.

Legends of Tomorrow season 4 trailer

Legends was a show I pretty desperately wanted to get into. From the most of season 1 I saw, I felt it was hit or miss. I’m glad most of the characters have stayed and I’m glad we got Constantine in this season as well as returning heroes like Canary, Atom, Firestorm, and Heatwave. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alita Battle Angel

So I’m really wondering where the hell the hype is for this movie. Seriously, every trailer I see for this, I think it looks stunning and the anime/ CGI/ art style is really well done. The action looks kick ass and there’s heavy star power behind the camera. So where’s the hype? I’m pretty pumped for this after the trailers I’ve seen. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Black Lightning season 2 trailer

I was intrigued by the show when it first came out, the idea of a retired superhero coming back out wasn’t a bad idea for the CW’s lineup of DC heroes. I haven’t heard much about the show but season 2 looks promising as a family drama. The effects aren’t bad for TV either. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Supergirl season 4 trailer

I have to admit I haven’t watched more than a episode or 2 during lunch breaks at my non- Saviorgaming job so as for for what the hell is going on, that’s beyond me. What I can say is because of Injustice 2 (2nd opinion) I do want to learn a bit more about Superman’s cousin and I really like the opening narration to the trailer. I do plan on getting into it but for now it looks like fans of the series won’t be disappointed. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Riverdale season 3 trailer

So who would have thought the trailer that made me stop and say WTF would be a live action Archie trailer? Seriously, I read Archie Vs Predator and I thought that was a weird ass story, but as this trailer goes on I kept wondering how weird it was going to get. Amazingly, I want to give the show a shot now. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Arrow season 7 trailer

I have to say I’m weirdly impressed Arrow has gotten so far. I briefly covered the first 3 seasons I’ve seen in Arrow (summary review) I’ve been meaning to catch up but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I like the darker tone and I’m curious how Oliver Queen landed himself in jail. It was a good trailer; may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fantastic Beasts 2 trailer

So here we get to a weird place for me. I loved the Harry Potter movies but never saw Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them . Learning this was a grand prequel, I became invested. From what I’m gathering, this next installment follows the building darkness surrounding Grindenwald, the greatest dark wizard before Voldemort would come. I’m kinda curious how this series will play out and I do want to see them. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer 1

We finally got a trailer to the long anticipated sequel to 2014’s Godzilla and the 3rd entry in Legendary’s Monster-verse. This time with Godzilla, we are getting the debut of fan favorites Mothra, Rhodan, and King Ghihdorha. First, not being a huge fan of the old films but liking the previous film, this film looks to be cranking up the scale and majesty. I can tell this definitely going to be a theater film; in theater it’s going to be mind blowing for sure. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
