I mean, could an adamantium knife pierce a mithril coat of chain mail? It's something to think about. It is that sort of thing that keeps nerds awake at night...
This Monday Grin is Stan Lee. He is, in my humble opinion, a genius. A Super Genius. He created every superhero I love. Spiderman and Thor particularly, but also Iron Man, The FF, and the X-Men. Whenever I think of him, I just think, wow, he has an amazing imagination.
I mean, dude, it was every bit as epic and amazing as I thought it would be!
I do have to say, though, the plot left a teeny tiny bit to be desired. That was a bit disappointing. But it was the only thing about the movie that was.
This visual effects were absolutely stunning. (Oscar worthy.) Asgard has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in a movie. Gondor, Rivendell, Edoras, and Lothlorien all in one. And I am not exaggerating, it was actually that cool. The sound was just awesome. Really, really awesome. The costume design was simply phenomenal. (Also Oscar worthy.) The battle senses were AMAZING, to say the least.
And the characters were...they were...really, really, really, great. I loved all of them. Odin was excellent. Frigga was lovely. the Warriors Three were awesome and a delight throughout the whole movie. Sif, I love Sif. Sif was Awe.Some. She was super cool. (But then again, I have always liked warrior maidens.) And I want her clothes.Yeah, some of my favorite parts were of Sif and the Warriors Three. They were so cool. Dude.
Eric Selvig (A friend of Jane Foster's) was very cool. I loved Darcy. She was very fun. I even like Jane Foster. I hadn't been sure if I would. She was cute, though, and not in the least was annoying. For which I am very glad. S.H.I.E.L.D Agent Coulson was neat.
Heimdall (Guardian of the Worlds) was the absolute coolest person in the whole movie. Everything about him just radiated awesomeness. Lots and lots of awesomeness.
Loki...well, lemme put it this was, Loki was seriously cool. I don't normally say that about villains, but Loki was really, really cool. Quite honestly that was the best performance in the movie. Tom Hiddleston did a very, very good job. Very impressive.
Thor was...perfect. Really. Chris Hemsworth was simply marvelous as Thor. (No pun intended.) I mean dude, he was perfect as Thor. And Thor was very, very cool. I really can't say much, spoilers and all. But he was extremely cool. If the movie was a cake, he'd be the icing.
One of my uttermost favorite things about the movie was the references to other Marvel characters. It was awesome. I would elaborate, but spoilers, you know.
I loved it, and I can hardly wait until I get to see it again.
Well...to a MARVEL Comics fan....this is embarrassing.
Last night, through an absurd twist of fate and circumstance, I found myself watching Superman. Yes, Superman. Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, 1987, Superman. Purely for it's historic and iconic value. It's what my family was watching.
I never liked Superman. I mean, what was there to like? Batman is the only DC character I like, and, well, I really never was one to go for the slick black hair and goody-two-shoes attitude.
He also had the fashion sense of a colorblind cucumber.
But even the outfit isn't what bothers me most about Superman. He is an alien. THAT bothers me. A Lot. I mean, we humans are pretty neat....when we want to be. And to me, the fact that we need an ALIEN, ET, and outsider to be our mightiest hero, it is insulting. Very much so. I mean, what business dose someone who wasn't even born on our planet have defending our ideals?!? THAT IS WHAT CAPTAIN AMERICA IS FOR. Maybe I am just racist against aliens.
Yeah. I said it, he was charming. In a weird, stupid, child-like way.
I actually kinda enjoyed the movie, 'cause, really, some parts were actually kinda neat. I think maybe three.
Well, I never thought I'd say this, but I think I may have a minuscule, teny tiny, wee little bit of respect for Superman. Like 1%. But that is more than I had.
So, last night I was frantically and desperately searching for a grin to post. It is amazing how un-smiley Star Wars people are. And I had already done all of my favorite characters (Or so I thought).
I was looking and looking. Lando smiles an awful lot, got a nice smile, too. But I would rather do somebody I like a bit more. Oh NO! Please don't make me do Luke!!! Oh good, there aren't any pictures of him smiling.
Then it same to me! Of course! One of my all-time favorite Star Wars characters, and a lovely smile, too!!!
