New 'Kong: Skull Island' Trailer Shows A Lot More Than The First

The 2nd official trailer for Kong: Skull Island dropped tonight and we definitely got a lot of new information. We got a lot more Kong, a lot more giant monster and a lot more plot with just a little humor sprinkled in.

The Avengers Line-Up Is Changing Post 'Age of Ultron'

So you've seen the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron right? Pretty dramatic stuff going on and such. It seems like its possible we could lose a few of our favorite Mighty Heroes before its all said and done in the battle against Ultron. If you were thinking this...you MIGHT be right. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige spoke with Buzzfeed about the upcoming Superhero Epic and had this to say about the Avengers roster...

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' 1st Trailer

So, Marvel "accidentally" leaked the Age of Ultron trailer today, and blamed it on Hydra. Nice. Watch for yourselves, I'm speechless. I can't wait to see this movie, and I think it's going to top Avengers as the biggest comic book movie ever...for now.

The evening began with a very long montage video of all the films, heroes, villains including Guardians of the Galaxy and a great look at Thanos. Kevin Feige came out and said they're focusing on 2015, which means Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-man which they began with.

Changes to Our Heroes: The Wally West Effect

A few years ago DC decided to reboot all of their titles. It was a bold move and it did increase sales. It also increased my interest in a lot of books. Along the way they made some big changes, and continue to make changes to this day. They're taking the past and making it new again. Some of us seem to take offense to this. It's a lot like when a movie studio remakes a classic film. The internet is all a flutter with rage and hate when a reboot or remake hits the theaters and besmirches your favorite film's good name. But does it really hurt the classic film?
