(trailer review) - Raya and the Last Dragon



These guys seems to be making more quality animation that looks so so sooo good! Granted they have years to perfect animation and technology is changing daily, but not only is this looking soo good, the story looks great too.

From what I can tell, it seems to be some kind of in-fighting between families and/or tribes and the Village Raya comes from gets taken over by the person with the short hair and Raya needs to fight to get it back.  Maybe she loses the village when she is off on her quest to find the last Dragon in wich she will use in hopes to reunite the families/clans.  Also, there is a shapeshifting dragon. Maybe I should have led with the shapeshifting part first.  But having not being the only person looking for the Dragon, I'm sure this will just make the quest more difficult.
The fighting scenes look well animated and I liked the extending whip-like sword and the con-baby is cute and adorable.  Raya has a fruit ninja moment which was cool, however, I hope it isn't too cheesy. Oh, what an amazing cast as well!

Directed by Don Hall, Carlos López Estrada and starring Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Sandra Oh, Benedict Wong, Izaac Wang, Thalia Tran, Alan Tudyk 

(trailer review) - WandaVision

(Prepare Trailer)

(Extended Clip)

(Official Trailer)

I've never seen this before, or for the most part, I've never noticed it.  But this series started 2 weeks ago and they have now dropped two more trailers.  An "Prepare" trailer AND "Extended Clip".  I believe I have seen extended clips once a movie has been out, I think, but for a TV show? Maybe I've just never really taken them onboard to only notice them now.

So at first was baffled as to why, but since the first week of airring the first two episodes, the show has become divisive.  Last week's episode, the third episode, a lot of people felt as though the first 3 episodes should have been released and I'm guessing, the reason for these two trailers, maybe, is to steer people more on track.

You see, WandaVision has a lot going on and nothing is really explained at all.  The show leaves you with more questions than answers and we are only 3 episodes in.  As you can tell from the previous trailers, it seems to be all sitcom styled with laugh tracks and such, but why? It has been well written, well acted and mostly, well crafted in such a way, ultimately it looks like a departure from what we know as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or at least, not what we are used to, so, I believe this trailer intends to provide just that bit more clarity needed for the confused viewer or those who haven't enjoyed the first two episodes and have bailed on it.

These trailers show that there is more going on, more that meets the eye.  The MCU part of the show with a familiar character from the Ant-Man films.  This trailer shows a touch more of what is going on and if the first two episodes drove people away, I hope these new trailers bring people back to stick with it.  The first act is complete now, now for the bigger reveals to happen and the show to really begin.

On Disney+ now and 4th episode out today.

Directed by Matt Shakman and starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, Kat Dennings, Randall Park & Kathryn Hahn.
