This Week In The News (8/2-9/15)
Hello everyone and welcome back to another 'This Week in the News'! HOLY CRAP there were a ton of stories this week. Now I know for a fact that I didn't cover them all like some other D23 stuff and the Star Wars Entertainment Weekly article so if you want to talk about it, please leave it in the comments below, now I'm just going to go rapid fire on all these stories and just give my thoughts in a short sentence or two, so here we go!
Mario Maker Amiibo: You can use every amiibo you own except for the Mii fighters in Mario Maker as costumes for Mario. This is crazy so now I can Sonic in a Mario game!!! Whoo!!
Constantine on Arrow: John Constantine from the canceled NBC show is joining Arrow. This is really interesting because all that magic stuff in Constantine means that it's also in the Arrow universe, cool!
Flash First Look: Here we get a first look at Jay Garrick as the Flash. I gotta say, it looks nice because it keeps the original look but with some updated things here and there.
Black Panther: Here we see pictures of Black Panther on the set of Captain America Civil War, now it does look a bit weird right now because they'll probably touch it up a bit with CGI but it looks really nice and it looks just like the concept art!
Luke Skywalker: Here we get a first look of what Luke is going to look like in Star Wars Episode VII and honestly, it's exactly what I expected, why are people calling this a spoiler? You already knew he was going to be in the movie!!
Lego Star Wars: Now I bet all of you have already seen the sets because they have been cluttering up your Flickr feed, but if you haven't, here are some official images for the Star Wars the Force Awakens sets: www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews... Now I'm going to have to see the movie before I get any of these sets because I don't really know any of the characters, but one thing I know for sure is I really want the Kylo Ren figure!
Doctor Strange: So at D23, Marvel showed off some concept art for Doctor Strange THAT THEY HAVEN'T EVEN RELEASED TO US that shows the feel of the movie. here is a description of the images:
"Images in the concept art reel reveal the classic origin story: a wounded surgeon seeking alternate ways to heal his destroyed hands finds his way to a mystical Eastern sanctuary that leads him to an order that holds the keys to another dimension. [We see] cars levitated into the air; buildings turning over Inception-style, Benedict Cumberbatch in the red cape. Tilda and Chiewetel in costume, bizarre otherworldly dimensions. Insane colors. No creatures, alas. But there will be. Final shot of [concept art shows]: Strange [with gray temples] doing energy blasts from his hands. grey temples. Also of note, the art for The Ancient One was an old asian dude. Pre-Swinton casting or are we getting something weird?"
All of this sounds really cool and really upped my excitement for this film, now if only they showed to us online...
Captain America Civil War: Like the Doctor strange concept art, Marvel showed off a FULL TRAILER to Captain America Civil War! Here, if you want to read a description of the trailer, read it here: www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews... Oh man, this trailer sounds really cool JUST RELEASE IT ALREADY MARVEL!!!
The Jungle Book: Like the Civil War trailer, Disney released a trailer for their live action Jungle Book movie and from what I've heard, it sounds incredible!! I'm really hyped for this movie and it might be one of my most anticipated movies of 2016!
Rogue One: At the end of the D23 Live-action panel, Disney went full Star Wars. They first started off by showing a full cast pic of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I gotta say, I'm liking it, it's very dark which is very appropriate because the time that this movie takes place (between episodes III and IV) is a very dark time! I can't wait to see more from this movie!
The Force Awakens: The next thing they showed off is the first official poster for Episode VII! Fun fact, it's drawn by the sam guy who drew has drawn all of the past Star Wars posters! It looks really nice and... oh my god, Finn has a lightsaber!! I was really wondering who was going to be a Jedi between him, Rey, and Po Dameron, but I guess it's him so that's amazing!
Star Wars Land: Finally, Disney came out and announced that there will be a 14 acre Star Wars Land in both Disney Land California and Disney World Orlando!!! Oh man, this is crazy! I'm a huge Disney Land and World guy so this is great news and I can't wait to go there!
Well that’s all for this week, tune in next time for more interesting stories in ‘This Week in the News’! If I missed any stories, please leave them in the comments below and we can talk about them!
