Supervillain declares war on Phoenix Jones
For those of you keeping track of Superheroes in the real world, the city of Seattle is home to homemade superhero Phoenix Jones. Jones has administered his personal brand of self-styled vigilante justice since 2011; equipped with body armour, a stun baton, mace, tear gas and handcuffs.
Jones, with his ten-member costumed crimefighting group, “Rain City Superhero Movement” have been fighting and preventing crime in Seattle and parts of Washington for more than a year without any response from the supervillain community–until now. Behold, Rex Velvet!
Video Games are the Movement of the Soul
Or at least they will be for you once you watch this brilliant video called ‘Go Right’. We were all raised in a world of 8-bit platformers and plucky little plumbers. When victory was always somewhere to the right, and only a few power ups or a boss fight away. This was when video games were pure. When they were simple and enjoyable. And watching this video, by RockyPlanetismal, will take you back to those days of yore. Wonderfully touching and delightfully nostalgic, I do hope you enjoy.
Avengers the Boy Band
There are so many good Avengers parody videos coming out this week. I have more than enough material to make the funny as we await the US release of the film. Those geniuses over at IGN created this hilarious Boy Band video, which is worth a watch. They also posted their review of the movie, and gave The Avengers a 9/10. So by all indications, all the reviews I’ve been reading, this movie is going to be as awesome as we’re all hoping. Don’t worry, that review is spoiler free. Go ahead and read.
And then watch their video!
My Blog Exists to Spread Videos Like This One
If my blog wasn’t meant to share videos of The Avengers trailer reshot using their action figures, then I just don’t know what I’m doing anymore. Fortunately, this video exists, and I’m sharing it. I love how they used the Thor-buster Iron Man figure for his fight with Thor, and I love the use of the multiple Iron Man figurines throughout. Not to mention the cameos that we all wish could actually happen in the movie. Hats off to Pitch Films.
Less than two weeks until the film comes out, people!!
Pokemon is Tragic
I found these comics by artist Mare Odomo while randomly surfing the Internet today, and they are brutally hilarious. You kind of have to know a bit about Pokemon to get the dark humor, and about the cartoon show. But I do know, so I found these to be utterly brilliant. Basically it’s the protagonist and pokemon trainer Ash writing letters to his absent father. Whatever happened to Ash’s father? Nobody knows! He’s never mentioned on the show, I don’t think ever. Hence why these are gust bustingly funny and horrible!
Enjoy! Oh, and visit Odomo’s site for more of the comics, and maybe to order the book.
