6 Insane Characters Peter Dinklage Could Play Other Than Pip the Troll
Awesome actor extraordinaire Peter Dinklage was recently announced as being in talks to star in the two upcoming Avengers sequels. So I had the bright idea of doing a List of Six about the possible roles that Dinklage could play. Of course, the entire rest of the Internet had the very same idea. Clearly great minds think alike.
So much Dinklage attention!
The smart thing to do would be to cut my losses and just do another list. But then I got to thinking: why not just be lazy and make my own list anyway? I’ve never done a list about Peter Dinklage before. Why not? Besides, pretty much everybody on the Internet has pegged Dinklage for the same handful of potential characters: Pip the Troll, the Watcher, Mephisto, Adam Warlock or M.O.D.O.K. And yeah, these are all solid ideas.
But what if I opened up the awesome expanse of my geeky mind and came up with six character possibilities that no sane person would possibly consider?! Yeah, that might be fun.
6 Wartiest Frog Superheroes
Animal-themed superheroes and villains are a funny thing. Sometimes they’re really kind of silly, and other times they’re arguably the two most popular heroes at their companies — I’m looking at you, Batman and Spider-Man! So what makes a good animal superhero? How does one even catch on? And why aren’t there more?
Also, doesn’t everybody love frogs?
Ribbit
I’ve done lists for bird superheroes, cat superheroes, dog superheroes, rabbit superheroes, bear superheroes and more, and I love scouring the Internets and comic books to find the best ones! This time, I’ve decided to take a look at the wartiest, slimiest, lilypaddiest frog and toad dudes in the funny pages!
Also, I’m calling dibs on creating a comic book villain based on the dreaded Surinam Toad. Don’t Google it!
My 6 Most Anticipated Movies of 2017
I think we’re all generally looking forward to the year ahead. Maybe it’ll be a horrible mess of evil. That’s definitely one possibility. Maybe it’ll be the year I finally redesign my aging blog. Who can tell? But at least we know that movies will keep coming out.
It’s finally here!
2017 looks like it could be a great year in movies. Last year was apparently a bit of a downer, with only a few really good successes. This year features a ton of superhero movies, which I love, and even more beyond that. Lots of good flicks could be on the horizon.
Join me after the jump to find out the movies I am most looking forward to seeing in 2017! And be sure to let me know your picks in the comments!
My 6 Favorite Things of 2016
By all accounts, 2016 has been a pretty crummy year. I still can’t wrap my head around most of it and it’s been more than a month. And I’m still disappointed that the Warcraft movie wasn’t a bigger hit. That thing had so much potential! I still like it, and that’s all that matters to me.
Anyway, like most online writers, I figure I might as well wrap up my favorite bits of pop culture in 2016.
As with the changing of the tides, so too come the end of year Best lists. But unlike really cool, professional websites who watch a ton of movies and know what they’re talking about, I only really pay attention to four things: movies, video games, TV shows and comics. And every year, I scramble to fill in the final two slots to make a List of Six. So sue me.
Join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of 2016!
6 Comic Book Characters Who Have Seen the Light-Based Powers
Christmastime is upon us! As is Hannukah and any other wintery holiday of your choice! The snow has fallen. The TV specials are on. It gets really cold. And almost all of my Christmas shopping is done. But mostly importantly, the Christmas lights are up! So let’s tie that into superheroes!
Some people really dig Christmas
When I was little, my family would play the Christmas Light Game in the car on a long ride home. My brother sat on one side of the back seat and I sat on the other, and we counted all the houses that had lights on our side of the street. Whoever had the most houses won! Unfortunately, there aren’t any Christmas light specific comic book characters, but I think I can cheat a little with just superheroes and villains with light-based super-powers. These are all characters who can generate and manipulate light or light energy.
Join me after the jump to get into the festive spirit of brightness!
