    King of the Hill Creator Says Animated Sitcom ‘Has a Very Good Chance of Coming Back’

    Rumors of a King of the Hill Reboot have ebbed and flowed for the last several months. And once again, one of the creators is teasing us with tantalizing hints about the possible return of the beloved sitcom.

    At San Diego Comic Con today, King of the Hill creator Mike Judge answered a fan question in his Beavis & Butt-Head panel about the potential revival, saying the show "has a very good chance of coming back."

    Reports of a revival first kicked off back in January when Judge and fellow creator Greg Daniels reunited to former their own animation company called Bandera Entertainment. At the time, the two suggested that something King of the Hill related was in the works (alongside the Beavis & Butt-Head revival that was the subject of the panel), but gave no further details.

    However, following that story, Daniels clarified that they didn't actually have a deal yet, even though they were talking about a revival set 15 years after the finale internally. Which makes Judge's remarks today a comforting reassurance for anyone who was worried things might fall through.

    On the same panel, Judge also mentioned the possibility of other spin-offs of his works, calling the ideas a "whole Beavis and Butt-Head metaverse" made possible due to Paramount.

    We also saw new clips of Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe in which the duo react to BTS and TikTok videos. The clips come ahead of the premiere on Paramount+ coming Thursday, August 4.

    There's tons of news for all your favorite shows, films, games, and more coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and we've got the full schedule to guide you through the weekend of panels, announcements, trailers, and surprises.

    New Beavis and Butt-Head Clips Show Their Reactions to BTS, TikToks

    Apparently Beavis and Butt-Head watch BTS now, but only one of them is a fan of the K-pop group.

    During a San Diego Comic-Con 2022 panel, Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge previewed some clips for the upcoming season of Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, which is returning to Paramount+ this August.

    One clip showed the duo watching a BTS video. Beavis was super into it, but hid his love for the band from Butt-Head. When Butt-Head walks out of the room, Beavis starts shaking his butt to the music. Butt-Head catches him, and says, "I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.”

    BTS isn't the only think Beavis and Butt-Head will watch in the upcoming season. The duo will also watch TikTok videos, including one clip shown of them watching the "How to Make Prison Ink” TikTok from @scconvict. Judge spoke to some of the issues that arise when securing the rights for these new types of video formats.

    “It’s actually really difficult and a lot of these people are these TikTok celebrities and YouTube stars and they’re like ‘Oh, I make a million dollars a month I don’t need to be on Beavis and Butt-Head’," Judge said. "So it’s mostly people who just want to be on the show.”

    The iconic '90s duo returned this year in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, which we called "a giggle-worthy yet juvenile romp" in an 8/10 review. A new season of the duo's sitcom will return on Paramount+ this August.

    The Last Of Us Remake Permadeath Mode Revealed Alongside a Host Of Other Improvements

    In the wake of the reveal of The Last of Us Part 1, a full remake of the original 2012 release for PlayStation 3, there were plenty of questions about how much it would actually change. But based on a new video released by Naughty Dog today, the answer is "plenty."

    The Last Of Us director Neil Druckmann was among those taking center stage to outline some of the biggest enhancements to the beloved classic, from graphical enhancements to improvements to accessibility. The team also outlined a host of new features, which include:

    • A new Permadeath Mode
    • A Speedrun Mode where players can time their runs
    • Unlockable costumes for Joel and Ellie
    • An enhanced Photo Mode
    • A Model Viewer Mode

    That's on top of big changes to AI, graphics, and controls, which aim to enhance The Last Of Us at pretty much every level. For instance, the remake will utilize the DualSense's haptics to add tension as Elllie draws a bowstring, or to enhance the tactile feel of Joel and Ellie petting a giraffe.

    Naughty Dog hopes that these changes will make The Last Of Us Remake, as Druckmann puts it, "extremely better" than the original game.

    The Last Of Us Part 1 was first confirmed back during the Summer Game Fest after several leaks, whereupon we got to see the updated version running on PS5. Criticis have wondered whether The Last Of Us needs a full remake just a decade after its original release, but Naughty Dog insists it's not just a "cash grab."

    "It's the definitive way to play The Last of Us," Druckmann says.

    We'll be able to see for ourselves just how enhanced The Last Of Us Remake is when it releases September 2 on PlayStation 5 and PC.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – All the Easter Eggs in the New Trailer – Comic-Con 2022

    San Diego Comic-Con is just getting underway, but already Paramount dropped the first trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. This new live-action movie looks to be delving deep into D&D lore, if the various Easter eggs and hidden references are any indication.

    From iconic creatures to familiar magical spells, we've broken down all the key Easter eggs to be found in this new footage. Check out the slideshow below or scroll down to learn more.

    The Creatures and Realms of Dungeons & Dragons

    This dragon breathes what seems to be black acid as opposed to fire; this could point to it being an extremely powerful, chaotic evil Ancient Black Dragon, which uses an Acid Breath attack.

    This looks to be the Underdark, a subterranean realm.

    A quick shot of a Mimic, an infamous D&D creature that disguises itself as a treasure chest.

    Two famous D&D monsters in one shot! Both a Displacer Beast and a Gelatinous Cube can be seen here.

    Though it's hard to make out the exact color of this dragon, because of the volcanic setting and its breath of fire, it's likely a Red Dragon, known for being ferocious tyrants.

    The Spells of Dungeons & Dragons

    The mage appears to be using some kind of protective spell — possibly Force Barrier — to shield the oncoming arrows.

    It looks like someone might've used the Heat Metal spell on Michelle Rodriguez's axe.

    It seems like Sophia Lillis' character could be using the Dimension Door spell here.

    The mage is casting some sort of lightning spell, which could be Witch Bolt, based on the shape.

    Based on the sounds heard here, the mage might be using Magic Missile.

    The other mage teleports via a spell — could it be a case of Misty Step?

    Sophia Lillis' Tiefling Character

    Most of the characters appear to be human, but based on her horns, Sophia Lillis' character is likely a Tiefling.

    This shows Lillis' character transforming from a horse to the much-more powerful beast, the Owlbear. However, it's worth noting that the Wild Shape ability — the class feature that allows druids to change into animals — wouldn't allow a transformation into an Owlbear, as it's technically classified as a monstrosity. This could mean the filmmakers are playing with the combat rules a bit, or a spellcaster simply cast Polymorph on her.

    The trailer dopped shortly after fans got a first look at its main characters in costume. Watch for everything else announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 as the show continues.
