Redneck Avengers
Bad Lip Reading does it again with a hilarious send-up of the first Avengers movie! Good times with funny words, that’s what this is. Though I would have to imagine this work is painstaking. How do they do it?!

Falcon and Crossbones are Looking Pretty Fly
See what I did there? I hope so, because I’m rather proud of that pun. Either way, filming is under way for Captain America 3: Civil War, and photographic sleuths have captured the first images of Falcon and Crossbones in costume — and they look pretty great!
Falcon is sporting his full costume from the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. I like it! Falcon has had some pretty bad costumes in his comic book career, so I’m excited for this more realistic, mechanical looking suit. I’m also grateful that they did mix in some red and white.
Sadly, no Redwing…yet
Actor Anthony Mackie has been great as Sam Wilson, so I’m excited to see him return for the threequel.
Actor Frank Grillo also looks pretty intense as supervillain Crossbones, a carry over from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Remember the semi-friendly SHIELD agent who turned out to be a bad guy, Brock Rumlow? He’s back as Crossbones in the new movie.
Though I’m a little disappointed in how suited up he is. Crossbones, especially recently, usually wears standard military-esque gear with just a skull mask. This costume is full-on super-villain.
Super-villain style
And check out those gauntlets on his hands! Probably meant for punching the super soldier Captain America.
Civil War is going to be an exciting film! Too bad we have to wait a whole year! It’s a good thing we have Ant-Man to tide us over.

Everybody is a Little Bit Worthy
For some reason, this lousy cold just won’t let go of me! Every day has just been a little bit stuffy, a little bit headachey, but I think today I’m going to see the end of it. So while I head out to the store to buy some decongestants, you guys can watch this funny Avengers video from Dorkly.
Good stuff, Dorkly. Now cure me of the common cold!

A Hench-Sized Ranking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
With the whole world enjoying Avengers: Age of Ultron, I saw a lot of lists on the Internet ranking the best and worst of the Marvel movies. I will gladly go on record claiming that there isn’t a bad movie in the bunch. They’ve all been good to great so far, and I fully expect that trend to continue later this summer with Ant-Man.
Being a blogger of the people, and a self-proclaimed Marvel fan, I’ve decided to rank all of the Marvel movies from my most to least favorite. I love them all and, were I a healthier man, I would gladly have attended one of those massive, multi-hour marathons that were playing in major cities. But alas, I live in a dinky little city that doesn’t get that kind of awesome attention. I need to move somewhere cool…
Also, this seems like a great time to share the first official synopsis of Captain America: Civil War. It seems Cap’s new team of Avengers are going to fill the New Warriors’ role from the original comic, and the movie will feature a metric ton of characters, including War Machine, Vision, Ant-Man and General Ross from The Incredible Hulk! They’re really getting William Hurt to return! That’s amazing connectivity!
So join me after the jump for my personal ranking of all the Marvel movies! And feel free to share your own in the comments below!
Saturday Night Live Went Ahead and Made that Black Widow Movie
Major points to Saturday Night Live for being funny and culturally relevant! I’ll admit I haven’t watched them since reruns of the Ferrell Era, but that was pretty funny stuff. Go Age of Ultron!
