Come, I will conceal nothing from you. Joss Whedon is dead to me. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is not. I cannot fault Honest Trailers for tossing down some barbs on it, but… I watched the show every week, man. It was my thing.
PS: ‘Hush’ is only one of the three best episodes of BtVS. The other two are ‘The Body’ – and yes, ‘Once More, With Feeling,’ damn your eyes. I will die on this hill.

There were no survivors.
Huh. Honest Trailers didn’t actually hate BLUE BEETLE. They were just more like fatigued about the whole run of superhero movies, like most of the movie-going public these days. Go figure.

It’s not harsh, but it’s probably fairer than Bethesda would like it to be.
Apparently fans all over the world are bemused at the revelation that ONE PIECE, despite being the live-action adaptation of an anime, is not actually… bad? This is a startling development. One wonders if Netflix intended it to happen. Sure, there’s no reason for them to do it… but then: you could say the exact same thing about greenlighting the first live action version of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. Hollywood is weird, man.
I admit to being disappointed that it was not the BARBIEHEIMER Honest Trailer, but that might have taken a bit too much work. BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER really do have distinct differences in tone and outlook, and trying to make that just work would be hard. Making it funny? …Well, maybe you could do it, for a minute or two. It’s sustaining it that would be the problem.
They weren’t even that cutting, really. Honest Trailers was more… sad. Like they knew that INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY* had to be brought up, but there was no compelling reason to be needlessly cruel about it all.
*I’m continually fascinated by how highly movies can get rated on Amazon. Even MORBIUS managed a 4.1! I know it’s selection bias, but still.

Some movies, Honest Trailers tries to be objective about. SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is not one of those movies. Given that my entire family went to see it in theaters and we’re going to see the next one, too? …Well, maybe we aren’t objective about it, either.
When it comes to SECRET INVASION, I apparently chose… wisely. Honest Trailers wasn’t even overtly cruel. Then again, why bother?
Wow, that was brutal. I skipped THE FLASH; now I’m wondering whether or not to skip it completely. It does not look good.
