SDCC Misc. Trifecta: Marvel TV, Voltron Movie, Dr. Horrible 2
 |
?? This Game of Thrones pedicab is not part of the trifecta; it’s just a great idea and a great picture, and deserved to be recognized as such. (Via Warming Glow)
? Marvel is making a shit-ton of live-action TV series and cartoons. The full rundown includes: The Incredible Hulk, Alias, Cloak and Dagger for ABC Family, and Mockingbird as some kind of spy drama (all live-action); and new cartoons of Ultimate Spider-Man, which we all knew about, and something called Hulk and the Agents of Smash which stars Hulk, his son Skaar, Red Hulk, and a lot of other recent nonsense that just sounds odd.

? Someone announced a live-action Voltron movie. Again. We can worry about it if/when it gets any closer to completion than the last time a live-action Voltron movie was announced. (Via CBR)
? Joss Whedon says he’s going to make Dr. Horrible 2. As you’ll recall, I actually hate Dr. Horrible, so I remain unmoved, but you guys can feel free to freak out if you’re so inclined. (Via IGN)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
