I AM EXTREMELY SORRY! EXTREMELY!

YEAH ERMMMMMMMMMMMMM SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYY.............

So...... It's been eleven months... Erm............. Yeah...

But, butttttt!!! You may be happy to know that the top 100 Heroes and Villains lists will both come next month sometime. I really think you'll be enRAPTUREd by my list, I think you'll find it quite MARVELlous but I don't want us to FALLOUT if you think it's bad. Just a few clues as to who you think will be on there.
I've also decided to do a top 100 supporting characters list, on which we don't have to have main characters or heroes and villains because that's just bullshit!

Oh and please say you understood all of my shitty clues because they were pretty fucking obvious... Come on guys I even used caps!

Disney Potentially Un-fucked 'Star Wars'

Star Wars Potentially First Thing In The Universe To Regain Virginity, In A Galaxy Far Far Away...

Sorry for the small reference, but I couldn't resist. I assume most of you are going to potentially riot about this, but personally I loved The Clone Wars movie and TV series. So before you go chopping off Mickey Mouse's dick and hanging it on a flagpole, just know that Disney have un-fucked Star Wars in my opinion.

Star Wars Rebels, which premieres Autumn 2014, is the physical embodiment of Star Wars' virginity, being bestowed upon them by Disney. As concept art shows, the style will pull away drastically from the manga style of The Clone Wars and pull towards a more worn look which will hopefully give it an Original Trilogy type of feeling.

A gritty, rusted style has been patched over the original logo, and the new concept art reveals a remarkable adherence to the Episode IV concept art by Ralph McQuarrie, and his general style (which I have to say is amazing). Here is some of McQuarrie's older concept art...


Ewoks!


C'mon guys, group photo!


Damn girl...


How cute please...


Jabba... Need I Say More


Looks like Dungeons and Dragons...


The music is playing in my head...


BOOM!!!


Vader's crotchpad is the best...

Very nice series of artwork there, showcasing McQuarrie's unique art style, a very, very nice art style at that, which I'm thankful we'll be seeing more of in 2014, even though it will not be drawn up by him. No, but a set of digital brushes has been developed so as to do his artwork justice and allow the artists to closely match his style. Some of the new concept art created for the series reveals a little bit of new information about the world of Star Wars, in the form of a new ship...


Presenting, the newest addition to the Rebel fleet... 'The Ghost'
Described as a cross between a B-17 and the Millennium Falcon, the ship
certainly fits in with the timeline, as the show is set just before Episode IV. 


This piece especially shows that the artwork is aimed to look like that of Episode IV, and
displays the pleasant image of ships crashing... The artwork was unveiled at Star Wars Celebration Europe by the supervising director on The Clone Wars, Dave Filoni. 

I'm hoping everyone is excited for the new movies, Episode VII in 2015... And I'm hoping Disney have redeemed themselves from Club Penguin with Star Wars shit in it... Way to stab a franchise in the heart 100 times... Although I am looking forward to the Phineas and Ferb specials which feature Marvel and Star Wars. 

Anyway guys, stay tuned :P

Villainous! Awesome Villains!



Check out my white strip, my sexy white strip! ^

I Have Decided to Make a List of my Top 100 POP CULTURE! Villains, Because Villainy is Awesome...


So my top 100 Villains will be from the categories of Movies, Videogames, Books, Comic Books, and Music... And I will be judging Villains based on these traits...


Persistence: One thing many villains lack... Persistence... Take a page from Bowser's book and keep on going, I mean how many times has he been thwarted by small, heroic Italian plumbers, and all he wants to do is start a decent human trafficking business, but this guy never gives up, no matter how many Italian plumbers (which there seems to be an abundance of) take advantage of his weak skull problem and stomp on his head...


Influence: I do love it when Villains, no matter how hated, can say a couple of words and have your head chopped off by their guards. After all, if a Villain has nobody to control they are fairly boring, one person, they have no minions to do their bidding for them, no henchman, no pawns, no pointless carrier bags to dispose of once they're through with them. And then there are villains who take it a step further, such as The Bane in Christopher Nolan's trilogy of Dark Knight movies, who decides to gain control of Gotham and manipulate the majority of the cities inhabitants (and prisoners) into unknowingly doing his bidding.


Ambition: Increasing milk prices! You bastards! So Wonder Woman villains aren't exactly very deadly, but kidnapping princesses to unleash darkness upon the world through use of keyholes is just pure genius... If a villain wants to give me a single cheeseburger when I ask for a double (damn you McDonalds), they aren't really very ambitious, on the other hand if they're taking over the world, then that's ambitious, but possibly a little too ambitious, it all depends.


Crimes: What are our heinous villains wanted for, rape? Murder? Kidnap and ransom? We don't care for those so called villains who killed you on TF2 while you were AFK taking a shit, or those "dastardly" neighbours who trimmed "your side of the hedge". When someone murders multiple people including sidekicks of his arch nemesis... then they gain an audience...

Nemesis: If a supervillain is busy committing crimes, a bit of bank robbery here, a little bit of third degree murder there, then they aren't just going to get away with it! That would ruin just about everything contained within pop culture... Of course they aren't just going to be allowed to kill thousands of people, no, which is why almost every (if not every) villain has an enemy... someone to allow the company to milk the shit out of the franchise... no hero or villain ever wins, or at least if they do another one comes along (don't quote me on that). So one segment of the rating will be how awesome the villains nemesis or main opposing hero is. Bear in mind these aren't all comic book villains but there should be a list for those pretty soon.


Look And Style: Villains need swagger. I am not going to put someone on this list who wears no costume whatsoever without a very, very good reason (unless of course they are wearing stylish clothing, then there's a whole different matter). Awesome costumes make winners... Not just in costume contests... Wear your purple orange and green attire, and be proud!

Success: All villains have to be a teensy bit successful, because if the hero constantly thwarted the villain within two minutes of them creating their devilish plot, everything would be boring... not just Titanic... everything... The villain needs to come very close to defeating the hero, at least. The stage of almost defeating the hero, however, should not lengthen movies by an hour.

Defeats: As well as the villains highs, we need to take into account their lows. We can't credit a villain for blowing up a city, if they forgot how to drive their getaway vehicle and were caught up in the explosion. Killed by a sidekick? That will cost you dearly... Obviously all villains have defeats, but if theirs is planned (which isn't technically defeat) as part of a dastardly plot, brownie points for them... If it works out.


Attributes: If our villain is witty, or clever, or strong, or quick, they'll tally up more of those brownie points. Take The Joker for example, he makes a lot of witty and downright hilarious puns and jokes, in both the movies and comic books. Abomination, (not much of a villain), super strong... So the different segments of the attributes section will be Strength, Speed,
 Combat, Intelligence, Power, Wealth.


Powers: So not all villains have powers, but a lot of them do, and if they don't, we'll just tally up their awesome points that don't fall into other categories. Powers are awesome, usually, but some can be a pain, or just shit. We obviously have to include powers as one section, to assess everything about the villains.


Sidekick: Although sidekicks could be considered villains all on their own, if they aren't included, we'll add them in somehow. Pretty self explanatory otherwise.


Motive: A character with a dark, mysterious, hate filled background will obviously win our vote, but if a character has a random, funny background, or something to do with insanity, I'll love it.


Apologies for the oncoming hurricane of slow posts, this will probably take me about a century to get out, maybe a little more, so if you just grab a coffee, and wait for one hundred years, then I should be done... This will take me an age... I will probably publish it as lots of separate posts, maybe daily? Who knows... Probably Jean Grey...


After completing my Top 100 Villains posts, I will probably do the same thing again, but with heroes, and also, Comic Book Characters. The posting should start tomorrow if all goes to plan, and I may do the heroes list alongside the villains list.






Stay Tuned!

Coulson returns... I Shit The Bed


Coulson returns in ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

Spoiler ALERT - The Avengers

I read this and was just so so so so so so happy... Coulson is coming back... turn away now, avert your eyes, if you have never seen a hairless cat... no, but if you haven't seen Marvel's The Avengers, then seriously look away. In September 2013, a new Marvel TV show is set to air, produced by Joss Whedon (ha, he got weed on), Jed Whedon (ha, him too) and Maurissa Tancharoen . Yes, this is what it's like to have no friends folks... See, only someone who has no friends would say folks... and only someone who has no friends would bother to point that out... and that...
             So if you have friends (who am I kidding, you're on this blog), then you may not have heard that ABC has an upcoming TV show titled Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and another little detail you may have missed, Coulson is returning, despite his death, but maybe he was too strong to be killed (by a fucking God guy?). What's important is, he's back, and awesome... and he's Coulson so obviously we can expect bitches and pimps around somewhere. Anyway, aside from bitches and pimps although that topic is the only important thing in life, here are some shots of the new show.


Awesome logo!


So here are the bitches and pimps...

Here's the official summary type thing ABC put out about the show
         
Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's feature films, as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange and the unknown around the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage; Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), expert pilot and martial artist; Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer; and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
Impressive huh? But where is my Scarlett Johansson?! On top of the new Marvel show, ABC is also introducing another new show, a spin off from a previous series, the new series titled Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,  will obviously be similar to the original show except... well... set in Wonderland I'm guessing... so here is the trailer....



And here is the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. trailer...



Stay tuned for more geek news #Browns!
