Godzilla Gets Taken Down a Peg
I still like the movie, even if it’s just as troublesome as the Screen Junkies say. And now that I think about it, every single human character in this film, with the possible exception of Kick-Ass, really is superfluous to the story. Bryan Cranston doesn’t do anything to impact the plot. And Ken Watanbe’s character doesn’t make any sense. Where does he possibly get the theory that Godzilla is some kind of Earth defense system? How does that theory even form in his brain?!

But it will be so worth it.
If you’ve been reading long enough, you know I’m a fan of all things adorable and musical, and that I was properly raised on 80s cartoons. So this video is my kind of video. I hope it’s yours too. Thanks Oh My Disney.
Wanna Take a Peep at the Vision in Age of Ultron?
Movie spoilers are almost unavoidable in this day and age, especially with these big budget superhero movies. Marvel and DC can cast whoever they want, and impose whatever gag orders they want, but somehow, eventually, we’re going to find out ahead of time that Jason Momoa is playing Aquaman or that Cosmo is going to be in your Guardians of the Galaxy movie (though I am a little annoyed that we don’t have confirmation on Robin/Nightwing yet in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice). This is the case with the Vision in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. Marvel and the actor were doing their best to keep him under wraps, but he’s out there – in fact, he’s even appearing in promotional material.
Hopefully to a tailor
I’m going to save the actual image for after the jump, for those of you who still want to resist spoilers.
The Vision is a classic Avenger from the comic. He’s an android with a rather gaudy costume who eventually learns things like loyalty and love. Classic android stuff. Personally, I’ve never been a fan, but you better believe I’m super excited to see him in Age of Ultron.
Join me after the jump for the first real glimpse of the Vision!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews 9/6/14
Guys. Girls. Deep breaths. I just got my birthday present. And I am over the moon! For anybody who read my List of Six this week, today is my birthday – at least if you’re reading this on Sept. 6. And what was the number one thing on my List of what I wanted for my birthday? A new Multiple Man comic book. Unfortunately, that didn’t come true. But what did this week give me instead?
A brand new Madrox cameo! Sort of!
I love everything about this
Behold Matt Rocks, a duplicate that Jamie sent to Los Angeles to become a big, rich, powerful attorney to the stars. He makes a guest appearance in this week’s new issue of She-Hulk, and it is just all manner of exciting. I think this is the first time any sort of Madrox has appeared in a comic since last year. In fact, the final issue of X-Factor was released this very same week – the week of my birthday – last year. You can read my review! How cool is this? One year to the day from Madrox’s last appearance and he shows up in She-Hulk, one of my favorite comics. This is the coolest comic book birthday present a guy could ask for (or at least one of them)!
No need to guess what wins Comic Book of the Week, because I am incredibly biased. Fortunately, She-Hulk #8 is a great comic even without the Madrox cameo.
And we need some good comics in a week that includes the finale of Original Sin and a pretty weak issue of Uncanny X-Men. This is also the first week of Death of Wolverine, my review of which you can read over at Word of the Nerd.
Comic Reviews: Batman Eternal #22, Lumberjanes #5, Moon Knight #7, Original Sin #8, She-Hulk #8, Uncanny X-Men #25.
Seriously you guys, Madrox!
What If Teenagers Really Were Responsible for a Giant Robot
We like to have fun here at Henchman-4-Hire. So when my random Internet surfing uncovers a fun video or cartoon or whatever, I like to share. It may not be my own content, but like I said, I live to have fun and embrace what the great Internet has to provide. For in all things, are we Internet. The above cartoon, which is wickedly funny, was provided to us by Jake Portman, long may he reign.
