I do like the logo…as modern logos go anyway. The early 2000s style is still my favorite.
I’ve been waiting for a proper trailer to finally get into this series, and one just dropped…months ago but in my defense I’ve brought up how bad my YouTube backlog is and it isn’t on any of the channels I currently follow, along with some preview footage for the new Transformers: EarthSpark, the older kids Transformer show. (I’m guessing BotBots is the little kids show, replacing the Rescue Bots sub-franchise, and I don’t know if Legacy, the current adult collectors line, is getting a show.) The show features two Earth kids bonding with a pair of Transformers and being drawn into their conflict. This is less Transformers Prime and more like Rad, Carlos, and Alexis with the Mini-Cons High Wire, Grindor, and Sureshock from Transformers: Armada.
We’ve see teasers but the following YouTube Shorts videos seems to be a better look at the series to come. The video after that features a five-minute preview of EarthSpark plus another trailer that gives us some idea about the show. So let’s a look.

“One More Day” is a storyline in which evil wins. No, that’s not a swipe as Quesada, I mean Mephisto wins, and as long as “The Deal” is in place he continues winning. It was however Joe Quesada’s idea, as he and other spider-writers wanted to get rid of the marriage to create…
…a Peter Parker that’s a hybrid of Charlie Brown and Archie Andrews. Every time someone new gets in charge at Marvel there’s talk about “will the Spider-Marriage be restored”, Marvel writers tease it knowing it will never happen like dangling a carrot to a rabbit, and yet it’s becoming more and more obvious that it can’t happen. Someday the audience wanting it will be gone either out of disgust or aging out and still it won’t happen. I’ve accepted this and opted not to read main continuity Spider-Man any more even if I start buying comics again.
I’ve discussed this to death but “Chi-Town Spidey” over at Spider-Man Crawlspace confirmed this by asking C.B. Cebulski himself at a C2E2 panel if there’s any chance to restore Peter and Mary Jane Parker…then wrote an article explaining why his answer is wrong! And his answer is so very wrong. I would add…why should I get invested in any relationship Peter gets into since we know it won’t lead anywhere. If they won’t restore the Spider-Marriage fans already want we know eventually Peter is going to break up because they’re not about to do a new Spider-Marriage if they’re reasons for splitting him from Mary Jane aren’t just a load of garbage and they don’t want to get called out on it by Peter/MJ fan. By not restoring the marriage they’re already telling me there’s no future for any love interest at all, so why should I care?

Who Are Superheroes Actually For?
There’s a lot of talk about who superheroes are for. People upset with the direction supposed superhero stories have taken, focusing more on personal drama and social propaganda than superheroics to the point that it might as well not be a superhero story, while on the other side you have people who actually like that for both good and bad reasons, have debated the issue on social media, in blogs, and in videos. Superheroes are part of the fantastic, and some would rather have the fantastic for reasons other than heroes versus villains. The argument goes…
Okay, both of you shut up! You’re both right and you’re both wrong. Once again we’re using statistics wrong and forgetting a whole group that the superhero creators of today have all but forgotten, and that’s only by a small number. I’d say “let’s end this once and for all” but considering the internet will go to global thermonuclear war over pizza toppings we know that’s not happening. Still, I’m going to try to add some common sense to this discussion. Who are superheroes for? Let’s break it down before I have a breakdown.
