During Comic-Con International 2010, Capcom has been announcing new characters for its upcoming fighting game, Marvel vs Capcom 3. So far the roster has been pretty standard, with one major exception: there’s a big white wolf god on the list.

But it Was Better Than Alien vs Predator: Requiem, Right?
Though Predators still felt like a “mixed bag” movie to me. It did some things right, a lot of things just okay, but thankfully, it never really went in the wrong direction at any point in time. And this is coming from a guy who was an Aliens and Predator fanatic when he was younger.
More Dragons and Hot Girls for Jay Baruchel
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice stars Nicolas Cage, so it’s going to be a crap shoot in terms of quality. Lovejoy and Corvi have two different takes on the Summer magic flick.
Twilight Saga isn’t Creepy-Awesome Yet, Still Just Dumb
It’s hard to believe that a movie about a teenage girl trying to bone half the cast of Universal Studios’ Monsters could be pretentious, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t try! From the first lines of Bella reading Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” to the numerous statements on morality, Eclipse manages to be preachy about a subject that is not an issue for 100% of the universe: fucking vampires.
This is Somehow Worse Than The Happening
The Last Airbender is a pointless movie. Who remakes a TV series into a film? Plenty of people have used film to extend the stories of cancelled shows. And other people use movies to adapt written word to a visual medium. But Avatar: The Last Airbender is already a visual medium, with a finished story that doesn’t benefit from a white kid with leukemia and that Indian guy from The Daily Show.
Putting Away the Toys
Toy Story 3 tries to do something pretty brave: it attempts to age in real time, with as much time passing in-universe since the previous film as has passed in real life. Something similar was tried with the Harry Potter books, but while that mostly resulted in the books getting overlong and less well edited, with Toy Story 3, it actually succeeds.
