How Amazing Spider-Man 2 Should Have Ended
This entry was apparently written by the fans, and some of the jokes are pretty funny. But at the same time…none of this is ‘how the movie should have ended’. The HISHE guys are usually pretty awesome, but they love their ‘Superman and Batman in a diner’ thing more than life itself. Give it a rest, guys. Your whole premise is pretty awesome without those scenes.
Big Hero 6 is Blowing Me Away!
New Big Hero 6 trailer! It’s super sweet!
I love it! This new trailer adds some real heart to the film, which I didn’t know it had. Plus we finally get to know more about the other members of the team and where their powers/costumes come from. I did not expect that at all. Big Hero 6 should be a good flick!
20 Minutes is a Little Excessive
Our friends at Cinema Sins have tackled Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and apparently they went all out on what was a legitimately good film. You guys are monsters!
But I know we all have 20 minutes to spare, so I hope you enjoyed their video as much as I did! As my brother once said, these are the MST3K for the short attention span Internet generation!
6 of My Fictional Mary Sues
I make no bones about my life as a young fan fiction writer. I am actually quite proud of the work that Young Sean churned out at such a young age – even if I can rarely bring myself to go back and read the stories I wrote. You can check them out at FanFiction.net. Those stories laid the groundwork for the Sean you know today.
And one of the things I loved more than anything else was creating my own Mary Sue characters in popular fiction. Though back then, I had no idea what a ‘Mary Sue’ even was.
Nope, that’s Mary Jane
According to TVtropes.com, Mary Sue is the derogative term for an original fan fiction character inserted by the author into an already popular series, usually to serve as some kind of wish fulfillment. Mary Sues typically have dramatic backstories, awesome names, unique looks, and more often than not, upstage the main characters. For example, say you wrote a Harry Potter fan fic and inserted your own original Hufflepuff wizard, and the story was all about how your wizard fell in love with Draco Malfoy and turned him into a good guy with the power of love. It’s that sort of idealized character inserted into pre-existing stories.
I don’t think I was ever that bad, but I loved creating my own original characters for all my favorite cartoons and movies. Join me after the jump to take a look at just a few of them, and feel free to share some of your own in the comments! No judgement.
Also, as Google has revealed, I was not the only person in the world to come up with these exact same ideas. But I was young, and the Internet wasn’t a thing yet, so forgive me if some of these ideas aren’t 100% unique or original. They were to me at the time.
My Blog Doesn’t Feature Enough Cheerful Pop Music About Anthropomorphic Pony Girls
That changes today!
I hope all of you are as excited about the new movie My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks as I am! I mean, when you’ve already got a pretty solid cartoon about ponies, what better way to expand the brand then by introducing an alternate reality where all of the ponies have human versions? Even Derpy! Rainbow Rocks comes out on the 27th!
Also, in even funner pony news, my cousin named his son Dash (short for Dashell). As a proper geek, I knew this would mean he might like Dash Parr from The Incredibles. And that’s all well and good…but man, if I can somehow get that kid to love Rainbow Dash instead, my life will be in some ways complete.
