So Dope.
Rejoice, nerds, for he is come! He, of course, being Wolverine. Behold the dopeness that is the new trailer for the Wolverine movie!
Giggity giggity, am I right ladies? I think that Iron Man effectively taught the world that superhero movies aren’t just for guys - they are for anyone who gets a boner watching tortured muscley men gasp to life and then punch people. Plus, Tim Riggins as Gambit!!
To be totally honest with you people, I was never a big Wolverine fan and I always hated (HATED) Gambit. I came of age in a retarded Jim Lee/ Rob Liefeld age where super-masculine male characters were so pointlessly aggro they all bored me. And Gambit had a stupid head thing. What was that? Was it to keep his brains in? It looks pretty douchey.
Maybe I just didn’t like smokers.
BUT! I am so excited about this movie that my pants accidentally fell off.

Is it terribly nerdy of me that I’m more excited for The Blob than I am for anybody else?

You really hate smokers?

*hyperventilates*
Ok, so I gained a new-found respect (read:man-crush) for Ryan Reynolds after watching “The Nines,” so I’m pretty stoked to see him play Deadpool… But is that little girl Ororo? Did they co-opt the “Wolverine: Origins” graphic novel? Arrrrgh so many questions!
And coming from a guy that had the biggest thing for Jim Lee’s Rogue (the costume with the short bomber jacket), part of me hated Gambit for being her main love interest, but you have to admit his power is pretty sweet.

DF – I don’t really care too much one way or the other. I just noticed that smoking was something Gambit and Wolverine had in common.

Scott – it seems like they are borrowing from a lot of different storylines. I though this was going to be a Weapon X thing, so why is Gambit there? And I disagree – magical playing cards are lame.

OK, the cards are kind of lame, but one time he charged up this huge rock, shoved it in some dude’s jock and BLEW HIM THE FUCK UP. Aside from the placement of said exploding rock, I wouldn’t kick a superpower like that out of bed.
At least they got Deadpool and Maverick in there, which shows that they did read a few Weapon X comics. I read up on the trailer some more and apparently the White Queen and a few D-list characters like Beak have cameos. Kind of bullshit, but it can’t suck any worse than X3…

agreed that magical playing cards are lame.
also, with all the focus on comic books and nerds and stephen kingy stuff in your blog, I can’t help but notice the lack of Lost.
Lost? Anyone? Lost?
