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.

Shazam trailer 1

If you caught my post of 5 great stories from DC new 52 , you’d notice volume 1 of Shazam there. So far from the trailer, it’s almost shot for shot from the book which is freaking awesome. I’m going to say Shazam is the most surprising trailer I’ve seen at SDCC so far. It’s funny, light hearted and looks like a fun time and I’m invested so far. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Aquaman trailer 1

The trailer I’ve been heavily anticipating for a long time has arrived and I’m glad to say it looks amazing. The blend of sci-fi and fantasy I love in the comics is prevalent. We got a sweet look at Ocean Master and Black Manta, and I’m glad to say they look awesome. Jason Mamoa’s personality makes the character pop and makes me really excited for it. The only grip I have, the CGI at the Aquarium scene looks a bit meh, but can be buffed out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

DragonBall Super movie: Broly trailer

Broly: the Legendary Super Saiyan, one of DBZ’s most terrifying villains that wasn’t even canon, until now. The old story of Broly is being retold in the new movie for DragonBall Super with a new origin and all. I see a light and a dark to this. The positive, we get to see Broly square off against the awesomeness of Super Saiyan God and such; also, I always wanted to watch Broly and  Frieza fight, which we get. The negative- it’s Broly, not an unknown Saiyan, not some new character. He may look different, his story maybe different, but at the end of the day, fans are excited for the Broly we knew. I hope he’s not a totally new character in a skin. In the end, I want to see the movie but I’m cautiously optimistic. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Marvel Spider-man SDCC trailer

If you love Marvel, chances are you love Spider-man and if you’re a fan, you know he always hasn’t had the best games. But, I think this trailer and others we’ve gotten make me rest easier on the matter. First, I love the character designs and roster we know so far. I’m assuming we may be able to expect Goblin as our final boss if that’s Peter talking with Norman Osborn. I like MJ and Miles play a heavy role in the game. As far as story, it seems solid and the graphics are beautiful. I’m pretty excited and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Glass trailer 1

 

So, this may sound weird as hell to a lot of people, but Glass is one of my most anticipated films of 2019. Let me start by saying I’m not a expert on Shyamalan’s work. I know Last Airbender sucked and I’m sorry but I wasn’t into the Sixth Sense or Signs. I never saw Unbreakable but I loved Split . Glass is a sequel to both, the third in the trilogy. I may not like much of work, but I do have a lot of respect for Shyamalan and how he tries to tell different kind of stories. Glass is no exception. I think its a damn good trailer for a different kind of superhero movie. I love the actors involved; James McAvoy has some creepy moments already and the premise is cool. I seriously can’t wait, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Titans live action trailer

Teen Titans is my second favorite Dc animated show of all time; nothing is ever beating Batman: the animated series for me. And For all those wondering, Go can kiss my ass and call it ice cream. Well, this show can kiss my ass too. 99% of the time, I’m able to overlook bad trailers and drastic changes but the first trailer for live action Titans show pissed me off. Here’s why, because I don’t make this statement lightly.

First, DC hasn’t learned from one of it’s biggest mistakes in the overly dark tone of Batman Vs Superman , repeating it here in a series that sure as hell didn’t need it. The Titans have some dark stories but they aren’t this level dark, which having Robin say “Fuck Batman” isn’t dark, it makes him look like a emo brat. With the exception of Robin, the characters range from meh to damn right crappy. The effects aren’t great compared to things I’ve seen on the CW. What pisses me off so much is the Titans could make a good live action series or a movie, and the show proved it can serious but fun, not this. May the gaming gods bring you glory, and remember the real Titans.

Batman: Year One

batman year 1

There have been many upon many retelling of the origin of Batman and one of the most iconic is Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, which helped inspire Batman Begins. Year One as far as story is pretty self explanatory. Gotham is a crime infested hellhole full of crooked cops and mainly controlled by mob families. Young Detective Jim Gordon transferred willingly here with his budding family in search of money and a new start but quickly learns Gotham is no place for a good man. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne returns after nearly a decade abroad, prepared to seek vengance on the crime that took the life of his parents. At first, dressed in black he attacks the small time crooks to no avail. Using his fear of bats, his natural intellect, and the skills he learned across the globe, he chooses a new identity, something to scare the wicked. Gordon and the newly emerged Batman of Gotham are fighting for justice, but can they work together?

I admire the book for it’s intamcy in regards to Gordon and Wayne’s thoughts and stories. I enjoyed how Batman’s origin wasn’t tied to a specific super villian but fighting the crime families of Gotham. It was cool to see the thought processes behind Batman’s transform, as well the impact he makes on others. There’s an iconic scene where he engages the family heads directly that always stuck with me. I found it weird Catwoman started off as hooker in this and didn’t really think she needed to be there. I did see the animated film which was adapted really damn well and I recommend seeing in conjunction with the book or just on it’s own. If you want a cool origin and a good crime drama, this is well worth the read. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Overlord trailer 1

The last few days I heard a lot about a movie called Overlord that I never heard of. Weirdly enough, I’ve gotten to a point where I expect to know something about every damn movie I come in contact with. This time I went in blind and I was gladly surprised. After Star trek (reboot) and Star Trek: Into Darkness as well as The Force Awakens I’m excited to see a R rated J.J Abrams movie. This trailer is awesome and I can’t wait to get something a little different this year. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
