Doctor Who Prologue – The Night of the Doctor
Ever wonder what became of the 8th Doctor, played by actor Paul McGann in a single made-for-TV movie in the 90s? Wonder no more! The BBC has released this new prologue to next week’s 50th anniversary special!
That was pretty crazy, right!? Oh man. Who would have thought a little teaser prologue could contain such direly important information for the Doctor’s backstory? And finally, at long last, we learn the final fate of McGann’s Eight. Now I’m even more excited for the big episode next week!
Forgotten Characters: Gauntlet and Southpaw
Whatever happened to Gauntlet and Southpaw?
One is a surly, loud-mouthed superhero drill instructor. The other is a rebellious teenage rapscallion. Both are wielders of gigantic, alien fists – but only on one hand each. And together, Gauntlet and Southpaw are one of the most clever ideas comic writer Dan Slott ever came up with.
But where the heck have they been hiding?
The gloves never necessarily look the same
Dan Slott has had a very busy career writing for Marvel Comics, tackling everyone from She-Hulk to the Great Lakes Avengers. Now he’s the head Spider-Man writer, and has been guiding Marvel’s flagship character for years. So with this kind of prominence, how could two of his most interesting characters have disappeared? You’d think the guy would have enough pull to get them added to the Mighty Avengers or the New Warriors or something, right?
The mysteries of Gauntlet and Southpaw need to be revealed! Join me after the jump to learn a bit more.
Honest Trailers: Man of Steel
If ever there was a movie that needed to be mocked, Man of Steel is it. I dislike that movie more and more as time goes on, and the DVD will be out soon, so I can watch it again! Good job, Screen Junkies, for nailing another one.
6 Things I Want To See in the Netflix Defenders
The deal Marvel made last week with Netflix to air four separate live-action superhero shows is still a little hard to believe. I wasn’t around in the 60s and 70s, when Batman, Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk all had successful and popular TV shows, so the idea of actually pulling this off is still very daunting. But then, the same could have been said about The Avengers movie, and that was a clear success. So I have the utmost confidence that Marvel and Netflix are going to pull off shows for Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and then unite them as The Defenders. They’re probably going to be awesome.
This scene verbatim
And like most forms of superhero entertainment, you know I have my own opinions. There’s still time for Marvel to hire me to be a writer on one of these shows, but until then, this blog is all I have to share with you my ideas for this bold new TV venture. So join me after the jump for the 6 things I want from these shows.
Other than a writing credit, of course.
Continuing With Today’s Pacific Rim Theme
Here is Everything Wrong with Pacific Rim from our pals at Cinema Sins!
I don’t know why today ended up being a day to pick on Pacific Rim. I love the movie and hope to see more Pacific Rimming soon enough. Now where is the video of Pacific Rim made to look like Voltron, huh? Get on that, Internet! Or the paraody porno ‘Pacific Rim Job’? Get on that, sleazy porno producers of southern California!
Also, watching that, I just found out that Pacific Rim had an end credits scene. Who knew? End credit scenes are the new 3D.
