There’s no connection between Marvel’s Scarlet Witch and Stranger Things‘ Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink) as far as I know. Nevertheless, this mash-up by janus.arte works better than you’d think, doesn’t it? I’m not sure what it is. Maybe it’s those piercing eyes? The red hair? I suppose it’s a combination of a different elements.
Either way, the image grabs your attention. Plus, Sadie Sink would make a good superhero. Or perhaps a supervillain…?

A butt-load of trailers dropped at San Diego Comic Con this weekend.
Let’s talk about some, shall we?
Aquaman:
Yes, this looks pretty in an Avatar sort of way. But I’m not super optimistic about this one. Aquaman as a dude bro didn’t work for me in Justice League, and it certainly doesn’t work as its own movie. I see people rejecting this movie, much as they rejected Green Lantern. So it’s fitting in that sense that I can’t look at Jason Momoa without seeing Roman Reigns…
SHAZAM!
Kinda wish they’d gone a little younger with Billy Batson. But other than that, I can’t bring myself to complain about much here. SHAZAM! looks like it might be fun. And if these DC movies have been lacking one thing above all else, it’s that. Plus, Zachary Levi is a good choice.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
In the first one, they overhyped Bryan Cranston’s role in the movie to the point that it looked like Godzilla vs. Walter White. Then they got rid of Cranston in the first act. This one looks like Godzilla vs. Eleven. So if it’s anything like last time, we’ll see Millie Bobbie Brown about as much as we saw Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.
This trailer only served to remind me that we have to wait another year for the next season of Stranger Things…
The Walking Dead, Season 9:
It’s fashionable to crap on The Walking Dead nowadays. And in all fairness, the bloom is indeed off this undead rose. But I’m still into it. Especially Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan.
So with Andrew Lincoln (Rick) and Lauren Cohan (Maggie) both leaving the show, The Walking Dead season 9 has the unenviable task of writing out two major characters. The downside there is rather obvious. But the upside is that the show is going to look markedly different than the comics from here on out. From a predictability standpoint, that’s a great thing.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald:
“What Mr. Scamander fears above everything else is…”
“Having to work in an office, sir.”
Join the club, kid.
Mrs. Primary Ignition will end up taking me to see this.But honestly, I’m having trouble caring. Call me when they start covering what happens after Deathly Hallows.
