Movie Quicksilver Looks Like a Huge Dork
I’m not the first person on the Internet to say this, and I won’t be the last, but Quicksilver from this year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past movie looks like a huuuuge dork!
They took his name way too literally
He looks like the kind of guy who whines to Magneto whenever he calls him ‘Pietro’.
“But DaaaaAAAAaaad, my name is Quicksilver! Why don’t you ever take me seriously!?”
And I can just picture actor Evan Peters whining like that. This movie just took a big hit in credibility. I like the theory floating around the web that director Bryan Singer is purposefully trying to tank the character so that nobody takes him seriously when he shows up in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, where he’s probably going to be treated with much, much more respect. That sounds to me like exactly the sort of jerk move FOX would pull. They’re the ones who quickly found a way to squeeze Quicksilver into their X-Men movie after Joss Whedon announced he was using him for the Avengers sequel.
At least most of the other characters look good. Join me after the jump to see some of my favorites.
Capaldi Looking Classy
He’s gonna stomp those Daleks!
Check out Peter Capaldi’s official ‘uniform’ as The Doctor. I kind of like it. I’m sure we’ll have to wait to see it in motion, but it’s classy, colorful and a little badass, especially in the boots. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until the fall to see Capaldi in the new season of Doctor Who. Suffice to say, my hopes are definitely up.
Capaldi had this to say about the costume:
He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord
Rebel Time Lord? I like the sound of that.
More Bad Lip Reading
Sometimes it amazes me how many silly and funny things there are on the Internet. Take Bad Lip Reading.
Who comes up with this stuff? And why haven’t I come up with some award-winning, technically marvelous and utterly hilarious Internet thing?
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/25/14
It’s another week of trying to break my wallet, but somehow I managed to hold on, read a bunch of comics and have a generally good week over all. I’m not quite as sick as I was for the past few weeks. That’s a plus, right? But here in Central New York, we’re looking at several straight days of single-digit to sub-zero temperatures. Go winter!
At least there were enough good comics to keep me warm! We’ve got new issues of Black Widow, Harley Quinn and Origin II already, and most of them are pretty darn good! Solid comics like Hawkeye and Wonder Woman are back, and we get the over-sized, over-sad finale of FF! Why do we live in a world where FF comes to an end after only 16 issues!?
Despite all those great comics, Comic Book of the Week has to go to Wolverine and the X-Men #40 because we’re finally getting some forward movement on the Cyclops/Wolverine Schism, and it’s everything I could have asked for.
Bromance renewed? We can only hope.
Comic Reviews: Batman #27, Batwoman #27, Black Widow #2, FF #16, Hawkeye #16, Harley Quinn #2, Origin II #2, Wolverine and the X-Men #40 and Wonder Woman #27.
