Two Jyn Pops and The Flash Returns for Season 3

The Flash and Two Jyns
Photo-A-Day #4193

Have you seen the new Season 2 teaser trailer for Voltron? It is pretty great. I am excited for the second season to drop on Netflix. There are a few things I’m apprehensive about but for the most part it is going to be awesome. I’m slightly worried about what will happen to Shiro because he’s my favorite character and he’s voiced by Josh Keaton. When I met Josh Keaton at DreamWorks Animation Studios earlier this year he was really cool and one of the people that I had been hoping to meet. See for yourself but there seems to be some foreshadowing going on in this trailer.

I’ve been seeing some great new Rogue One toys hitting the stores. Today I found a two pack of Hot Wheels character cars. This one was a Storm Trooper and a Death Trooper. I’ve also been picking up the Funko Pops for Rogue One and I found a second Jyn Erso character. This one is not the one with the helmet. This one is different than the Target exclusive one. This new one has a brown coat and a blaster instead of the black uniform with the energy batons on the back.

When the Star Wars toys dropped on #ForceFriday there were some that were not for Rogue One. There is a new figure for Sabine Wren and this time her helmet can be removed. There is also a Kanan Jarrus figure in a stormtrooper uniform. They look great, but what I’m the most excited about is that the Star Wars Rebels characters are coming out as Funko Pops, that will be awesome!

Speaking of the Funko Pops, I picked up The Flash Pop a while back and unboxed it today because of tonight’s Season 3 premiere. Having the episodes picking back up is so cool. This season the show is doing Flashpoint, which was a major storyline in the comic books. Barry is back and he has changed the past. Now his new life is starting to unravel as the timeline is trying to correct itself. I put my thoughts at the end of today’s vlog.

Also in Today’s vlog I talked about my upcoming trip to California to meet with the cast of DOCTOR STRANGE. I don’t know exactly who I’ll be interviewing but I do hope that it will be Benedict Cumberbatch and Benedict Wong. I’m wondering if anyone who is reading this would like to send me some questions that they would want me to ask on their behalf? Leave the questions in the comments below.

My Thoughts on Luke Cage on Netflix #StreamTeam

I am a Netflix #StreamTeam and as such receive compensation from Netflix. I feel that I must disclose this when I talk about Netflix shows and what I think about them. Opinions are 100% my own.

This isn’t even a particular #StreamTeam post that I have to do as part of the team, I just really enjoyed Marvel’s Luke Cage. Luke Cage is the latest in the various Marvel shows on Netflix. Each show is 13 episodes packed with so much action, drama and Marvel Easter Eggs.

Luke Cage came out on September 30th with all 13 episodes. I dove right in and binged all of season 1. I have been reading many Marvel titles on the Marvel Unlimited app. Reading though all the Marvel Civil War and then New Avengers and so many other titles I’ve gotten to know the story of Luke Cage and the character from the comic books. This show was so well done and I couldn’t put all of my thoughts into that one minute vlog. I cannot believe that I said Donald Faison when I meant Frankie Faison. I thought that one of the breakout stars of the show was Simone Missick as Misty Knight. She had such character. I just loved her scenes. There was s much to enjoy about this series. Mike Colter made an excellent Luke Cage. He just got that character down. I loved the Easter eggs like the Tiara and the yellow blouse. That was great! Now I have to wait to see the next series which would be Iron Fist and then The Defenders unless there is another Daredevil or Jessica Jones before that.

There are plenty of action scenes in this show but it is the moments where the characters speak to each other that are the most compelling. The relationship between Luke Cage and Misty Knight has depth and complexity. They play off each other very well. Later another character shows up and she and Luke come together in a different way. Their relationship is also complex but through it we learn even more. I need to watch the last 10 minutes of episode 13 again because of all the little things that are teased for the future. I cannot wait for it, I think I’ll have to watch all the shows again, this time with Allison. Here’s what I said in my vlog today.

I also teased a few things that I’ll be featuring on the vlog this coming week.
