This week: a superhero with a large hammer, a Pyscho and his even crazier mom, and a beloved cartoon that is sadly cancelled as it prepares for its final run. Let’s have it:

Marvel seems to have done it again: The first Thor 2 trailer hit the web this week and it. looks. badass:

The sequel is actually titled Thor: The Dark World and it features explosions, Natalie Portman, and Thor’s super creepy brother Loki, played by the exceptional Tom Hiddleston. If you love Marvel, The Avengers or the original Thor, this isn’t one to miss.  It’s directed by Alan Taylor and hits theaters in November.

I’ve been wanting to write about Bates Motel since it started, but after getting completely burned by The Following (a series that really shit the bed after a stellar start), I decided to hold off until later in its run. Halfway through Season 1, Bates Motel is still creepy as hell. It zigs and zags unexpectedly, portraying the entire town of White Pine Bay, Ore. as one completely fucked up place full of locals as deranged as Norma Bates herself.

In their roles of Norman and Norma Bates, Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga are absolutely stunning. Their combined performance is a balanced see-saw of two co-dependent and mentally unraveling family members. Highmore and Farmiga go for broke week after week with performances that are so tension-filled and uneasy that they would’ve surely pleased Hitchcock himself. Grade A cast. Grade A show. I’m beyond hooked.

Bates Motel airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on A&E.

No stranger to cancellation, Matt Groening’s outlandish space cartoon Futurama has not been renewed by Comedy Central. After 14 years, seven seasons and now two cancellations, the series will begin it’s final curtain call June 19 and air its final episode September 4. Producers may or may not seek another home for the show. Said Groening to Entertainment Weekly, “It’d be a shame if we all went our separate ways [after this season]. We would love to continue. We have many more stories to tell. But if we don’t, this is a really great way to go out.”
