This year three series reach milestones in their existences. My Little Pony turns 30, Doctor Who turns 50, and Superman turns 75... are you satisfied yet with what your getting?
My Little Pony
Admit it, the Entertainment Weekly 2nd trailer for Equestria Girls changed your opinion on it didn't it. First off the movie has a purpose now, retrieving the big crown thingy Element of Magic from new antagonist Sunset Shimmer, lest the Elements of Harmony become useless without Twilight' s element. Second it's a Twilight and Spike team up as Spike dog turns out to actually be Spike (Cathy Wesluck), talking and everything. Third it looks like we may get homages to Star Trek IV The Voyage Home with Twilight struggling in a whole new world, in a whole new form... did I mention we get a break from Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle? All we need is Vice Principal Luna, David Tennant cameo as the Doctor (he appears at the Fall formal, behind the CMCs), Princess Celestia confronting her former pupil Sunset Shimmer, and Derpy/Ditzy and were all set.
Oh, and the year ends with Season 4 sporting a full season continuing where last season left off. Very nice.
Doctor Who
While the BBC is being slammed with a triple whammy (no Christopher E 9th Doctor or classic Doctors in the 50th Anniversary, then Matt Smith leaving the role at the end of 2013) you can still get some proper 50th Anniversary goodness on both sides of the Atlantic with a big Big Finish event with both classic Doctors and new recasts of the first three Doctors, as well as IDWs Doctor Who Prisoners of Time maxi series.
Could we stand for more, especially from IDW? Sure. Will we get more? Probably not... but you never know. Stay tuned.
Superman
Movie? Check. New batch of Superman titles? Check. Toys and statues and stuff? Check. If anything at least Superman feels fulfilling for its 75th Anniversary. At least there is that.
This won't be the last of this, especially in regards to Equestria Girls which is the first topic coming up... stay tuned.
