The biggest news out of Comic-Con, from 'South Park' to 'Peacemaker'
Love movies? Live for TV? USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter has all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids. No Marvel? No problem. The Avengers and their cinematic universe skipped Comic-Con this year – they're off fighting Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in the UK or something. But John Cena was there, dressed as his DC superhero Peacemaker. Ryan Gosling was there, giving us a taste of his alien bestie Rocky in "Project Hail Mary." Even "South Park" guys Trey Parker and Matt Stone were there, a day after lampooning the sitting president of the United States. The San Diego pop-culture fest didn't have the same heat as last year or in previous editions. The grand stage of Hall H was full but not crazy-packed, and without any big "event" panels, many movies and TV series were able to show their newest wares to their own fandoms but also to newcomers giving things a try. I'm not an "NCIS" guy by any means, yet it was cool to see how into "Tony & Ziva" their die-hards are. With my 14th Comic-Con officially in the books, here are my favorite things from this year's iteration: 'South Park' creators play it cool with mainstream controversy It didn't take too long during their appearance at Comic-Con for "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to weigh in on the kerfuffle of their Season 27 premiere, which drew ire from the White House. (Depicting President Donald Trump nude with Satan will do that.) Their response was true to form: "We're terribly sorry," Parker said, tongue fully in cheek. But that animation panel, which also featured "Beavis and Butthead" honcho Mike Judge and "Digman!" creator Andy Samberg, was a fascinating mutual admiration society. Parker and Stone told Judge how much his show meant to them in college, and the "South Park" guys were very honest about having to now compete with talented kids on TikTok when it comes to topical comedy. "We have a great gig but I'm jealous," Stone said. Superman who? John Cena's 'Peacemaker' takes DC's superhero baton James Gunn got a victory lap of sorts at Comic-Con, getting a standing ovation for how much of a hit the new "Superman" has been. But if you dig that movie, then gird your loins for "Peacemaker." The second season hits Aug. 21, and a new Comic-Con trailer gave us a look at the show's humor, insanity and, yes, even some emotion – all set to a lot of catchy sleaze metal. What makes the show special is John Cena's portrayal of a complex antihero with a traumatic past who can save the day (barely) but can't get out of his own way. It's the one role that has really let Cena's talents shine. When Gunn says Cena's performance in the new season is "really something to see," best believe him. Ryan Gosling's astronaut Everyman fuels 'Project Hail Mary' The best thing about the long wait until Ryan Gosling's sci-fi epic "Project Hail Mary"? You have some time to read Andy Weir's brilliant book before going on this epic space adventure. With so many franchises taking up space at Comic-Con, the "Hail Mary" panel delivered refreshing humor and stunning visuals to a psyched Hall H crowd. Gosling plays a middle-school teacher launched into space – very reluctantly – in a last-ditch effort to find a new home for mankind. Everything they've shown so far is top notch, including the first five minutes where Gosling's character is an amnesiac mess who gradually figures out he's alone in the middle of space. He does find a friend, and a first look at the alien Rocky, just showing his little rock hands, was the most adorable thing outside of the Hello Kitty booth. Get ready, because "Project Hail Mary" is going to be a thing in 2026. 'It: Welcome to Derry' is a best bet to be your Halloween obsession It's a huge year for Stephen King movies and TV shows, and the freakiest of the bunch looks to be "It: Welcome to Derry." A prequel to the hit "It" movies, the series mines more of King's seminal horror novel and its first season is set in 1962. Jovan Adepo and Taylour Paige star as a couple who've moved their family to the cursed Maine town of Derry and soon learn that things ain't right. At all. Bill Skarsgård is back as Pennywise, which is scary enough, but a Comic-Con peek at the opening of "Derry" hints at so much more chilling stuff than just an evil clown who comes back every 27 years. A woman giving birth in a car, rather graphically, to a demon baby with wings and two heads who then goes bat-nuts crazy in said vehicle? October can't come soon enough. Even more Comic-Con goodness to check out! Got thoughts, questions, ideas, concerns, compliments or maybe even some recs for me?

‘South Park' Season 27 Media Reactions To The Donald Trump Episode
"South Park." South Park's Season 27 premiere episode — where creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take on President Donald Trump — has media outlets buzzing. While there aren't enough episodes for critics to release a season review for South Park Season 27 plenty of online outlets are sharing their observations of Episode 1, called Sermon on the 'Mount. After the series' premiere was delayed two weeks over Skydance's pending acquisition of Paramount Global — as well as Paramount Global's negotiations with Parker and Stone to bring South Park to its Paramount+ streaming platform — Episode 1 finally premiered on Comedy Central on Wednesday. Paramount Global and Stone and Parker finally reached a deal early Wednesday that is worth $1.5 billion over five years, and Season 27 Episode 1 premiered on Paramount+ early Thursday morning — along with South Park's first 26 seasons. The logline for South Park Season 27 Episode 1 reads, 'When the residents of South Park face their possible demise, Jesus returns to give them an important message.' However, upon Jesus' visit to South Park Elementary, it sets off a chain of events that extends to the White House, where Parker and Stone go hard after President Donald Trump with scenes involving Satan and lots of nudity — South Park animation-style and via a live-action deepfake. In addition, the episode works in pointed observations about Paramount's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump and even manages to work in a reference to 'Epstein's list.' In her take on the Season 27 premiere, Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence wrote that 'creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone did a lot, but perhaps the most important thing they did was remember what punching up looks like. 'Taking aim at President Trump in a way that seems actively tailored to piss the current administration off, Sermon on the 'Mount plays like a direct dare to Paramount to cancel the show, or for our government to make Parker and Stone's lives very unpleasant the next time they try to go through airport security,' Miller added. 'And by doing so, the pair have created a piece of subversive political art that feels like a true reflection of today.' SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 24: (L-R) Matt Stone and Trey Parker attend Paramount+'s South Park In ... More San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, 2025 in San Diego, California. (Photo byfor Paramount+) What Did Other Outlets Say About The 'South Park' Season 27 Premiere? Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone also lauded Trey Parker and Matt Stone's gutsy episode, even if their criticism was leveled by using South Park brand humor. 'At precarious moments like this, certain things need to be said out loud, even if they're being packaged with juvenile d--- jokes,' Sepinwall wrote in Rolling Stone. 'When so many of their peers are too scared to offer even a mealy-mouthed version of criticism, Parker, Stone, and South Park just went for it. Motivations don't matter.' While President Donald Trump and conservatives were at the center of Episode 1's mockery, Parker and Stone have been known to be an equal opportunity offenders. As such, Sepinwall wrote that viewers shouldn't be surprised if a future episode lampoons the left. 'Desperate times mean you can't afford to interrogate the credentials of everyone who takes your side, even if it's only temporary,' Sepinwall writes in Rolling Stone. 'Parker and Stone can be so politically elusive that it wouldn't be shocking if the next episode had a subplot about AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] in a bikini contest, so the duo can once again insist that their chief goal is to play devil's advocate to whatever the conventional wisdom of the moment is.' In his assessment of the South Park Season 27 premiere for The Guardian in the U.K., Stuart Heritage wrote that there could be greater implications for Paramount. 'Sermon on the 'Mount is a grand dare. If Trump could get $16 million by suing Paramount over an editorially acceptable edit on a news [program], then it stands to reason that he will try to go after a cartoon that depicts him trying to insert his microscopic p---- into Satan," Heritage wrote in The Guardian. 'And if he does sue, will Paramount risk destroying its already damaged reputation by capitulating yet again?' While media outlets celebrated the South Park Season 27 premiere, it managed to attract one major criticism — from the White House. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to media outlets (via Variety). 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' South Park Season 27 is available on streaming on Paramount+ along with Seasons 1-26.

South Park is back in the news, this time for making fun of President Donald Trump. The long-running animated show was just renewed for 50 more episodes. The makers, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, recently reached a $1.5 billion deal to stream all episodes of the satirical show on Paramount+.

South Park's Season 27 premiered after a two-and-a-half-year break, featuring President Donald Trump in bed with Satan.(@SouthPark/X, (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)) Co-creator Trey Parker responded to the White House's criticism of the show at San Diego's Comic-Con International. He replied, 'We're terribly sorry,' adding a comic stare to the camera and fans. But Season 27 is not the first time South Park has made fun of Trump. Here are all the times the show took potshots at the US President. Also Read: South Park co-creator hits back with three-word response after White House slams Trump depiction Season 27 Episode 1 - Sermon on the Mount The latest installment of South Park took shots at Trump and his settlement with Paramount. It also referenced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's late-night show. The episode is a jaw-dropping takedown of Trump and his policies and even shows him in bed with Satan and with comically small genitals. The episode references Trump's alleged closeness to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as well. 'It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,' Satan tells the character about the Epstein case, as per CNN. Season 19 Episode 2 - Where My Country Gone? The episode was a takedown of Trump's immigration policies. The show parodied Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and his rhetoric around building a wall on the US-Mexico border to control illegal immigration. According to IMDb, the episode sees Garrison decide he wants to build a wall to keep undocumented immigrants out of South Park. Garrison's slogan, "Where My Country Gone?" and his baseball cap are a nod to "Make America Great Again.' Season 20 Episode 1 - Member Berries The show was centered around Donald Trump and the controversy about NFL player Colin Kaepernick taking the knee. South Park did not hesitate to skewer Trump again, with Garrison's dialogue recalling Trump's repeated promises to deport all undocumented immigrants. Garrison or Giant Douche is running in an election and later seemingly figures out he has no idea how to run a country if he wins. In the end, he decides to help his opponent win, Deadline reported. Season 20 Episode - 7 Oh, Jeez This episode was originally titled The Very First Gentleman, on the assumption that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election. The showrunners made last moment changes to Donald Trump's victory in the election. The episode was centered around Denmark's war against online trolls, but the sub-plot about Garrison's victory and the Gentleman's Club made it a hit.

Garrison returns to South Park with revenge on his mind. The show's homage to Darth Vader and an off-key rendition of The Imperial March added a hilarious touch to the plot. The plot was all about how the backlash to political correctness helped fuel Trump's rise, IGN reported. Interestingly, Elon Musk had a cameo in this episode as well. Season 20 Episode 9 - Not Funny The episode sees Garrison focus on launching a nuclear strike on Denmark, due to pressure from Mr. Slave. The duo shared a phone call, with Slave's profanity-laden insults a medium for South Park to go all-out against Trump, Rolling Stone reported. Season 20 Episode 10- The End of Serialization as We Know It The plot centers around troll culture. The End of Serialization as We Know It also uses an equation, Trevor's axiom, to explain Donald Trump's rise to power. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the equation shows that the aim behind trolling is not to hurt an individual but to annoy a larger group, which then picks a fight with another set of individuals who don't agree with them, setting off a chain of hate and anger. Garrison replies, 'That sorta sounds like how I got elected.' Season 21 Episode 2 - Put It Down This episode of South Park shows Garrison aggressively tweeting against North Korea, mimicking Trump's behavior post the 2016 election. FAQs: What is South Park? It is a long-running animated satirical series. What is the controversy around South Park's new season? The season 27 premiere took potshots at Donald Trump, drawing the attention of the White House.
