We’re massive fans of the How To Train Your Dragon movies around these parts. So much so that Darryn even calls me Toothless occasionally (I’d like to think it’s because I’m also the unholy offspring of lightning and death, and not because he’s making some stereotypical joke about me being a coloured guy from Cape Town). So it should come …
So yesterday a new trailer for Terminator: Genisys dropped. It was exhilirating, action packed and full of fantastic character moments that stoked my excitement to crazy high levels.

And add one Olivia Munn to that cast, as she’ll be wielding a psychic knife as the improbably-named Psylocke in that sequel. Which …
Well this is a revolting development. Despite being the most popular and arguably most well known female superhero of all time, Wonder Woman gets none of Hollywood attention that her peers Batman and Superman get. While they’re allowed to make a bunch of horrible movies that nobody wants to acknowledge exists in retrospect, Wonder Woman couldn’t even get a single …
Superhero comic books can be immensely diverse. Just because your lead character is decked out in primary coloured spandex doesn’t mean you should be pigeonholed to only telling one type of story catering to prepubescent boys.
