My Favorite Quasar is Coming to Guardians of the Galaxy!

And by “my favorite Quasar”, I of course mean Avril Kincaid, the one people know the least about! Why is she my favorite Quasar? Because I care so very little about Quasar and I find her neat! I also pegged Avril Kincaid as the MCU’s best shot at a solo superhero movie with an LGBTQ+ lead.

At any rate, Marvel has been rolling out the extended roster of Al Ewing’s new Guardians of the Galaxy relaunch in April. It seems they’re just going to group together a ton of classic cosmic characters, along with a few wild cards, to make a big Guardians of the Galaxy team.

As you can see, the team has all sorts of neat characters. Doctor Doom is the biggest surprise, and I’m sure he’ll be fun to read. I haven’t read Guardians comics in a while, so all manner of things have been happening that I have no idea about. Hopefully this will make for a good jumping on point.

I have read very little Avril Kincaid, so I hope she really shines and I can solidify her as my favorite Quasar. The original Quasar and Phyla-Vell are also on this team, so there’s a lot of competition for my favorite Quasar.

This Beavis/Link Mash-Up is Pretty Darn Funny

Sometimes we just want to kick back and have a laugh at the genius the internet brings us. I know that’s what I do with my day. And I had a good laugh at this mash-up where some internet genius takes dialogue from Beavis and Butt-Head and dubs it over one of those old Legend of Zelda cartoons. Just watch for yourself.

Now that is good, quality, weird, dumb, funny stuff. That’s what the internet was made for. All hail the creator: KhalidSMShahin! This is how masterpieces are made.

The 6 Sharpest Sword-Based Characters in Comics

Finally, at long last, I’m playing the video game Ghost of Tsushima. The game was a big hit last summer, but I’d never heard of it and simply didn’t get around to it…until now! I have taken on the role of Jin Sakai as he fights to retake his homeland from invaders, armed only with his family’s legendary katana blade! It’s a great game so far, so I’ve decided to turn it into a List of Six about comic book characters who are based around swords.

So much blade studying on this list!

I don’t just mean characters who use swords. Lots of characters use swords. I mean characters who base their whole identity around swords. Maybe they’ve got a magic sword that grants them their powers. Maybe they named themselves after swords. These are characters who are super duper into swords. And not all of them are katanas. We’re just having fun with swords today!

Join me after the jump for a handful of comic book characters whose, like, whole thing is swords.

Let’s Take Another Look at Raya and the Last Dragon!

The next big Disney film to come to premium streaming on Disney+ is Raya and the Last Dragon. Will it be good? I don’t know. I still think it looks a little too ambitious in these trailers. But who am I to judge? What the heck do I even know? There’s a new trailer!

Hopefully it will be great. I definitely plan to pay for the premium movie premiere, so I hope it will be worth my money. I love dragons! I love good fights in movies! So I’m going to hope for the best!

Raya and the Last Dragon comes to Disney+ (and theaters, I guess) on March 5!

The Big Game Brings a Big Trailer!

The Super Bowl was yesterday and, as is my nature, I didn’t watch it. But I definitely watched the new trailer for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, released alongside the Big Game! Still looks great!

The show comes to Disney+ on March 19, with is a little more than a month away. And…there’s not much more to say about the show at this point. The trailer looks amazing. The special and digital effects are movie-quality. This looks to be as good as a Marvel movie, and that’s insane!

I wish I was a smarter, more academic person so I could analyze how this will effect the TV landscape going forward. TV shows with the budgets and digital effects quality of movies? Madness! And I’m very excited. I hope you are too!
