Chris Pratt as Star-Lord! This is Awesome!
Marvel has once again scored an awesome casting coup by scoring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film! If you’ve never heard of him, Pratt is spectacular and hilarious as Andy on Parks and Recreation, one of my favorite TV shows.
What a handsome guy
So I am incredibly excited by this news! I love Pratt, and I think he would be absolutely perfect for the semi-comedic role of Star-Lord. Not much has been released about what we can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy, but if Star-Lord is anything like he is in the comics, Pratt will be perfect. Even if they have to cover up his pretty mug with Star-Lord’s badass helmet.
Not quite as handsome, but he makes up for it in badassery
For those who don’t know, Star-Lord is the leader of the Guardians, and the only human on the team. He’s the smart, clever, and sarcastic one, with a great sense of human. He’s also an action star. I think this could be a real career-maker for Chris Pratt. I am very, very excited by this news. And if you aren’t watching Parks and Rec, you definitely should be.
Forgotten Characters: Miri Riam
Whatever happened to Star Sapphire Miri Riam?
How could DC comics create someone so utterly adorable and then drop her like a hot potato? Miri Riam was one of the funnest new characters to come out of the Green Lantern series in the past few years, a character with a lot of layers and a lot of potential to be a cool character. But after going to all the trouble to introduce her and build her up, DC hasn’t done squat with this manic pixie dream girl in the DCnU reboot. Why the heck not?
She’s adorable! And pink!
There are a lot of multi-colored Lanterns these days. Green Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, Red Lanterns, Orange Lanterns, and there have been a ton of new characters introduced alongside these different colors. Miri Riam was one of my favorites, but for some reason, DC doesn’t want to use her anymore, despite at least one series dedicated entirely to showcasing the various colored Lanterns. So where is Miri Riam? Why isn’t she filling our hearts with love anymore?
My Favorite Internet Video of All Time
Welcome to my 1,000th post here at Henchman-4-Hire! To celebrate this occasion, I’m going to share my absolute favorite Internet video of all time: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny!
It was animated by the people at AltF4 and the song is by Lemon Demon. It’s just such a geeky wonderland of excitement! I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading!
Star Trek Into Super Bowl
Iron Man 3 wasn’t the only big upcoming film to get a teaser at the Super Bowl. Check out the new Star Trek Into Darkness bit.
I think it was an alright piece. But honestly, these trailers could use more focus. I’d like to see a really rich story trailer to let us know what’s happening. Otherwise it’s just random scenes of violence and destruction, with Benedict Bandersnatch acting all menacing. He plays a good menacing, but it’s getting to the point where I want to see something new.
Impress me, Star Trek Into Darkness!
