San Diego Comic-Con Trailer Round-Up — Day 4

by Ashley Hobley

San Diego Comic-Con is done and a bunch of trailers for a heap of nerdy properties have dropped. Unfortunately, we can’t do our regular reacts this week, which you can normally see live on Twitch or later on YouTube. But check out my thoughts on some of the big trailers from Day 4 of Comic-Con below, as well as a few I may have missed.

Riverdale — Season 3

Play

Not a lot to go on with this one. A lot of Season 2 footage, which you have to expect—they’ve only shot a couple of new episodes. There aren’t many clues as to what’s going to happen in Season 3 other than that Archie is going to get out of jail. There is that final shot of Betty’s niece and nephew being held over a fire like some sort of fire-cult sacrifice that could be interesting.

Roswell, New Mexico

Play

This does nothing for me. It looks like a generic CW drama—but with aliens.

Rating: 👎👎

Deadly Class

Play

I’ve read the first volume of the series and know enough to be interested, but this trailer didn’t get me more hyped for the series. The concept is good, but this didn’t really showcase it.

Rating: 👍👎

Marvel Rising: Initiation

Play

This looks alright. The cast of characters seems interesting—Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Spider-Gwen are all current fan favourites. As a Young Avengers fan, it’s cool to see Patriot in this, though I doubt he’ll have a similar story arc as the comics. Probably not going to check this out, but I’m happy it’s out there.

The Purge (TV Series)

Play

Nope. I have no interest in this other than how they’re going to have a 10-episode season around one night. I’ll admit that some of the imagery is eye-catching, but I’d rather not spend my free time on this.

The Dragon Prince

Play

Another teaser that gives us pretty much nothing. Not in love with the animation style, but I’m not sure exactly why. The ties to Avatar: The Last Airbender mean this has my attention, and the last shot of the dragon looked great.

Rating: 👍👎

Alita: Battle Angel

Play

Looks better than the last trailer they released. Don’t know if the eyes look better or I just expected them this time around. This looks like it’ll be a bit of fun.
