Sometimes you have to feel sorry for old Screamer. All he wants is a little respect, but his ambition too often bypasses his common sense. And of course Megatron beating on his cerebral cortex housing constantly can’t be doing a lot for him either. Take for example he found Ore-13, the same stuff later used by MASK to operate in the IDW Hasbroverse, as we could call it now. He thought it would give him enough power to take on Megatron. As usual…he’s wrong.

Netflix continues to make nostalgic geeks happy, and of course I still can’t afford it. Now they’re doing a prequel to Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal which takes place some time after the Urskeks separated into the Skesis and Mystics. I wonder if it will remember the other prequels that came out, that told the origin of the Dark Crystal’s shattering? Brian Froud worked on both that, this, and the original movie.

The CW has release a “first look” trailer for Black Lightning, the show based on a DC black hero who was always black. It’s about time. We haven’t gotten a DC hero of color that was created as such since the DCAU’s John Stewart and Static, and it’s good that the actual heroes of color in the DC Universe are finally getting out there. Now we need a few more of the women who aren’t Supergirl and Wonder Woman. No, I don’t care about Katana on Suicide Squad because they made her a villain and it was Suicide Squad. Plus it’s based on the Suicide Squad and I never cared about that series anyway.
I tend not to bother with teasers because they don’t tell anything. This however gives us stuff to actually make decent speculations on while getting an idea of what the show will be like. So let’s take a look.
It’s no spoiler this isn’t ending well for Starscream. Waking up in the morning never ends well for Starscream.
