The New Mutants trailer 2 - Jan 6

Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks. In this particular instance, it is because I got sick, apparently, and this makes real life worse, for the obvious reasons. (Man, I hate common cold). Therefore, I look around, and what do I find but the trailer for this year’s ‘New Mutants’ movie. And?

And nothing – the trailer for the ‘New Mutants-2020’ film is a dark, horrific mess, with ‘horrific’ showing the genre – the ‘New Mutants-2020’ is shaping to be a horror film, so far. Belay that – it is a horror film, it looks like.

Well, FOX’S mutant movies were always a mixed bag – for every ‘Deadpool’ or ‘Logan’ we got ‘Dark Phoenix-2019’, for example. That said, we’re talking not about quality here, but genre, and my statement stands – for every traditional superhero movie we got something atypical, whether it was the very first ‘X-Men’ film, or ‘Logan’, or even ‘Deadpool’. It brings Illyana Rasputina, aka ‘Magik’, who is also the sister of Colossus, which had appeared in both ‘Deadpool’ movies up to date, so who knows? Maybe we will get some sort of a reference. It brings Wolfsbane/Rahne Sinclair, who might have been around the earlier X-Men films – I am not so sure. It brings Sam Guthrie/Cannonball, (ditto), and a new incarnation of Roberto da Costa, (Sunspot, who was in earlier X-Men movies, I am sure), and Danielle Moonstar/Mirage, (people claim that she appeared in the past X-Men films). They will be dealing with an incarnation of a mutant doctor named Cecilia Reyes, (who also might have appeared in the past films) and an entity named the Demon Bear, which is a giant demon bear, (duh), and who is certainly a new villain in the Marvel movies, regardless of genre, universe and whoever is making them. What is next?

…I am actually looking up to this movie, that is what. SW9 proved to be as bad as it was supposed to, and the crew blaming it on the fans, (aka ‘fan service’) did not do any wonders to the movie. Yes, it went down the collective throat, but again, you have to be ‘Cats-2019’ level bad to fail at this achievement. SW9 was not, and so it went down and out. Yay. Now does anyone have any idea as to where Disney/SW will go next, or will it just fizzle out instead? My money’s on the latter – as far as movies go, SW9 was broken and reset once too many times. Anything else?

Sadly – no. Real life sucks. I feel rotten. Ricky Gervais made a ‘roast’ at the Golden Globes awards – really? Does anyone care anymore? Probably not, but did I mention already that real life sucks? If not, here is another reminder.

This is it for now. See you all soon!
