Loot Drops from SDCC: Film Trailers

Hey there, Gamelings!

SDCC has been insane this year and we're going to cover the news that drops in our new news  series: Loot Drops!

This one is dedicated to the movie excitement that has been generated with all of the film trailers that have been released so far!

First up we have "Godzilla: King of the Monsters"!!!!

This has generated the most buzz this year! This is due, in part, to the phenomenal trailer and extensive star power! There's no doubt that the combination of nostalgia, for the older audience, and popular stars, for the younger audience, has shot this monster movie to the top of everyone's list. 

For those of us in the mid-range age-wise, I'm sure we're just hoping not to have another 1998 fiasco on our hands...

Please...PLEASE....

Next up, garnering less buzz than our friend Godzilla but still kicking up quite a fuss, is Aquaman!

Fans have shied away from DC live action for a while now. Marvel seems to rule those waters, these days. I know that I, personally, have had issues staying true to even my favourite DC hero, Batman. This film, however, is showing the DC Film Universe turning with the tide. This promises to be a noteworthy experience in the very least!

Potterheads rejoice!

The trailer for Fantastic Beast: The Crimes of Grindelwald has dropped!!

Who is ready to fly back into the magical potterverse?! I certainly am and I cannot wait to see what this adventure holds for Newt Scamander!
Also, Who has the same fear as Newt? Working in an office? Just me? Show of hands.

Next up: Shazam!

Deadpool ushered in the age of the anti-hero. Not exactly a hero... But not exactly a villain either. In a world that, these days, feels more and more divided society leans on the Anti-hero that seems to thrive on Chaotic Neutral energy and a sense of humour.

Shazam seems to continue these trends in the best way and channels every kid's desire to be a superhero. Verdict: Relate-able AF.

Rounding out the movie trailers released so far is Glass!

The star power in this film is incredible and it continues the superhero/supervillain theme! I am personally extremely excited about this one! While the buzz about it has been kept mostly to a dull murmuring, I have no doubt that this movie will blow people away! Also, I am hoping for at least one "motherfucker"....

That's all we have for now!

Check back soon for more Loot Drops! 

Until next time,

Kiss My Ass-cot! The Tale of Scooby Apocalypse

There comes a time in everyone's life when they realize that the world as they knew it has changed.

For kids who grew up watching Scooby Doo (much like myself and my children) that day is the day that they realize that DC made a comic book series starring everyone's favorite meddling kids and their wonderful pup named Scooby Doo.

The series is titled "Scooby Apocalypse" and it thrusts our favorite mystery solving gang into a post-apocalyptic setting. You will follow the post-apocalyptic teens as they battle mutated creatures and people as well as a virus that amplifies your fears and basic instincts.

The classic characters get a re-imagining in a big way for this apocalyptic nightmare world:

Scoobert "Scooby" Doo is the runt of a litter of "Smart Dog" prototypes that had a microchip implanted into their brains and cybernetic enhancements which, through connection with the chip, allowed the dogs to communicate with humans.

Norville "Shaggy" Rogers was a dog handler at the lab that created the "Smart Dog" prototypes. It is there that he met, and saved, Scooby Doo. The two would, as the story always goes, become inseparable.

Velma Dinkley was the lead scientist at the lab that created the, you guessed it, "Smart Dog" prototypes! 

Daphne Blake is a reporter and the host of the show "Daphne Blake's Mysterious Mysteries".

Fred Jones is the camera man for "Daphne Blake's Mysterious Mysteries" and will occasionally act as Daphne's moral compass.

This wonderful idea was part of a much larger Hanna-Barbera comic book universe project which includes other Saturday morning cartoon staples such as The Flintstones, Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, Birdman, and more! 

If you are a fan of nostalgia, mysteries, and monster hunting, head on over to DC Comics and purchase these comics quick, fast,and in a hurry! 

Until next time, gamelings,
