Disney acquires Marvel: The beginning of armageddon

Reuters: Disney to Acquire Marvel Entertainment

I hope everyone realizes that this means no more Marvel fan art. No more Marvel fan fiction. No more Marvel fan-made youtube videos.... Disney are notorious for pulling Disney-related videos from youtube, claiming 'copyright infringement'. They even pull their own trailers.

So this is the beginning of the end folks. Say goodbye to a once great company.

It has been swallowed by the beast.

Gah Lak Tus

I've just read the "Ultimate Galactus Trilogy" which I borrowed from a friend (Thanks Andy).

I have very mixed feelings about This new version of Galactus. Let me first say that the trilogy itself was awesome. Any story that incorporates Ayahuasca, Necronauts, Zero-Point Energy, the Multiverse and a planet-devouring entity is AWESOME. That should pretty much go without saying.

But with that being said, the 'Ultimate' version of Galactus just seems wrong.... For any newbs who don't know about Galactus, he's the "devourer of worlds". He's a God who destroys life who acts as a counterpart to the 'Creator God', sort of like the Yin to Creations' Yang or the Shiva to the Hindu Vishnu... Well.... in the old days (1970's to early 2000's), he looked like a Native American God of the Mayan/Aztec/Toltec/Olmec persuasion:



Now... the 'Ultimate' line of Marvel comics introduces a new universe in which the super heroes/villains are different than they are in the 'normal' Marvel Universe. (ie. the Fantastic Four are all teenagers, the silver surfer has wings, Beast has a lion's face etc...). The old version of Galactus will still continue to exist, but The new 'Ultimate' version of Galactus is not a Mayan/Aztec-looking God... He's a 'hive-mind' comprised of hundreds of thousands of city-sized insectoid robots.....wtf? I mean.... that's pretty cool.... I guess.....but......IT'S NOT GALACTUS!! To be fair, Marvel was aware of this fact, so they decided to call him "Gah Lak Tus". Nice try Marvel, but that's pretty lame....

Wolverine Orgins Review

and here is my review from...comicbookmovie.com(review section)

Wolverine Origins... A-
OK, so the movie opened good with young james as a kid. Within the first ten minutes in the story there is a twist of who is Logan's real father is. BAM. Then the credits hit. I personally liked how they did the credits.
seeing wolverine and sabertooth fighting side by side in all the great american wars..but by the end of the credits you can tell there is a bitter rivalry brewing between the two characters. it reminded me of the "watchmen" credits.not a bad thing.

after all that stryker finds wolvie and sabertooth locked in jail so he recrits them and you get to see deadpool and the rest of the weapon x team..but there not called that because at this point wolvie is not weapon x yet..agent zero.awesome, wish i saw more of him.

deadpool well at this point he is not deadpool but all i can say is.ryan renolds was the pefect choice..funny as hell and his opening action scene when it was "his turn" perfect!! he needs to be in his own movie..again i wish i saw more of him as as this character..the reason im saying i wish i saw more of them,because after the second "misson" we see..wolvie goes his own way. sabertoth takes it personally and the team go there seperate way.the hunt is on to find wolvie..this movie was fast paced, good story, i think gambit was great also..i know alot of fan are complaning about gambit and his "jumping powers"
but personlly it didnt bother me.because NONE of the "x-men" movies
were right,let alone perfect.so why would i expect THIS one to be.all and all the movie was great i though weapon XI was done ok..if they disfigured his face why wouldnt' they use this, end fighting scene the perfect time to have "deadpool/weaponXI" wear his red and black mask? and if anyone actually stayed until the "END CREDITS" were over they would learn that DEADPOOL IS NOT DEAD..NOR DID THEY KILL HIM OFF!!

..i left out alot of the key plot points..like the murder of wolvies first love,and many others because i think people should see this movie with an OPEN MIND..i am a true comic fan have been for 15 years. so dont think i have no idea what im talking about cause i do. ohh and there is a surprise cameo i DID NOT EXPECT..go see it so the X-MEN FRANCHISE DOES NOT DIE..

X-Men Origins: Wolverine spoilers (also titled: "why this movie sucks")

X-Men Origins: Wolverine spoilers (also titled: "why this movie sucks")


SPOILERS


The first half hour is stupid. Wolverine pretty much just stands around while everyone he loves/cares about is getting killed because he's a pussy and he doesn't want to fight/kill anyone.

So halfway in, he finally gets angry and starts killing people, starting with an asian sharpshooter dude, I'm not sure who he was. The movie gets kind of cool at that point, but I put emphasis on "kind of", because there are sooo many things wrong with this movie....

First of all... the Blob and Emma Frost are each in it for about 5 minutes each... lame. Gambit is in it for maybe 10 minutes. Cyclops is in it for 5. They're not important to the plot and seem to have just been stuck into the movie to make the trailer seem cool. The majority of the movie is actually Wolverine being hunted by Stryker and Sabretooth. They are the main villains. And all other characters are completely secondary.

The worst part is Deadpool....what the fucking fuck? He's in the beginning of the movie for like..10 minutes and then he's "killed".... turns out he's actually being transformed into weapon XI, after which point he returns for 5 minutes again at the end of the film. Wolverine decapitates him, so say "goodbye" to a Deadpool spinoff (unless it's a prequel).....a prequel to a prequel....hfswtf? (holy fucking shit, what the fuck?)

Hold onto your hats folks, it gets stupider....

Sabretooth is now officially Wolverines brother (they have the same father, the mother/mothers is/are never discussed). They changed Wolverines name from "James Howlett" to "James Logan" And get this... Wolverine actually GIVES CONSENT to becoming Weapon X.

Stryker: "Hey, Wolvie....do you want adamantium in your bones so you can fuck shit up...."
Wolverine: "Okay!"

Patrick Stewart is in it for about 20 seconds at the end.

Fuck.

This.

Movie.

SPIC part 5, Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes

now in vlog form

Marvel: Behind Closed Doors

IMCML members 'peterparker' and 'vanzetti' have been collaborating on a stop-motion series a la "Robot Chicken".

It involves world domination and exploding soup, so gets ta watchin' PLAYA!

episode 1:

marvel 1602: new world, SPIC 4

marvel 1602: new world greg pak/greg tocchini

while the whole 1602 series is just SLIGHTY ahead of what we would call steampunk, by a few hundred years and in colonial america, this particual book is spectacularly steampunk and it all thanks to to lord iron, this world's iron man.

col. america dragged nick furry's body into the singularity that pulled him from his time to this timeperiod and creating the age of wonders, early. that is where we left off in marvel 1602. now we have bruce banner trying to deal the fallout of being affected by the singularity, namely, what we would call the grey hulk. he tries to help some native dinosaurs; shame it takes the hulk to defend these brontosaurs from a pack of meat eaters. back in roanoke we have the budding romance of virgina dare, the first englighperson born in the new world (fact!) who is also a shapeshifter (as per legend!) with peter parquagh, former aid to bruce banner in his mission to find nick furry from king james I, but now printer's aprentice to master jameson. he is only now starting to demonstrate the powers he obtained from the spider who bit him that was affected fromt he aformentioned singularity. whew. it gets better. norman osborne is trying to buy the rest of island from the native (expect they were taught english by col. america and were told to never trust the whitemen. they will lie and break every promise they ever speak) with glass beads and james I sends lord iron, on load form spain, to bring in bruce banner who failed to bring nick furry's head.

who is lord iron exactly? well first of all he is a renassiance man. he makes da vinci look like he rides the short bus to inventor school.

punisher: war zone review

i was rather concerned with this new punisher: war zone movie. i am still traumatized from watching the dolf rungren film in the 80s (as an 80s action film it was perfectly fine, but to call it "the punisher" fucking FAIL). the last punisher film with thomas jane made up for that abortion of a film. sure it deviated from the comics a greta deal but did a great job of keeping the spirit of the thing. the trailers for war zone looked full of grade A cheese and i was not looking forward to this. till i got the call that a reliable source saw it and it was good. i had to see it for myself.

i love it when movies start off in the middle of things. the punisher has already been out for a bit and everyone knows he kills criminals dead. that's all he does. like the terminator. sure the police "offically" are trying to catch him, but deep down inside, they love him. he can do the things they cant do. paying the price they wont. he even takes sick glee in the creation of jigsaw (slight comic deviation, but acceptable). jigsaw at the plastic surgeon smacks of the joker in tim burton's batman. let this be a lesson to all plastic surgeons, if you ever have to operate on an insane and deformed criminal, just save time and inject that needle full of air into your arm ASAP. i also do not remember jigsaw having A)  a brother and B) said brother being a cross of hannibal lector and the joker.

at least they did a great job of making all these evil doers rememberable and with a unique reason for you to hate them and cheer ol' frank castle on as he puts out their lights. everyone from the stereotypical mobster with his fuck up, emo, coke-head son (oh do not get me started on him. i think it is a him. cannot be too certain with emos) to the carribean parkour catburlars. the sheer amount of gore and vicera flying in the air is on a new scale of awesome. the only place to see more human gibblet pieces in an a B grade horror movie. heads were exploding every other minute. it was great. this was blooder than every other marvel studios movies, combined.

some weak spots i found were the expressedly cheesy parts. hanging from the chandlier, spinning and shooting mobsters by the roomful in slow motion has been done to death. no more, i beg of you. jigsaw's pimp walk with patton-esque speach. and frank's little talk with a priest at what looks to be limelight in new york city (party monster, yeah!). all that i could do without, but what do you expect in a balls out action flick? wherehas i know why punisher has microchip and understand that dynamic, it leaves the non-comic book fan a little in the dark. they are left wondering why he is helping punisher so directly.

personally, i felt the climax of the film was not in the last 15 minutes, but in the first 30. you see, punisher is not out there to punish the bad guys. he is so guilt ridden from his family's death he really punishing himself by fighting a war that will never end, hoping that one day either some street punk gets lucky or a good guy is there the day he fucks up. he is only human.

 

i give it a bloody thumbs up on account i sliced my thumb open on accident shortly after watching it.
