Insert heavy breathing noises

And now for something completely different...

The new X-men traileris also up on io9. I am less than impressed.

UPDATE:

It's not as shiteous as the posters they released (which I actually thought were a joke!) but I'm still not super impressed. I think this franchise really needs to get past it's "humans hate us" phase and just start kicking some evil villain ass!

Know your Avengers!

The Lovely people over at IGN just posted this Avengers primer. It includes recaps and photos f the characters that will be featured in the film.

I am starting to get really anxious for this to come out.

I'll take this one please

Is it just me, or does this look way cooler than the live action version they are putting out. Cooler cast too.

Women in Refridgerators

Women in Refrigerators (or WiR[1]) is a website that was created in 1999 by a group of comic book fans. The "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome" describes the use of the death or injury of a female comic book character as a plot device in a story starring a male comic book character. The website features a list of female comic book characters that had been injured, killed, or depowered as a plot device within various superhero comic books. Also, the site seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters.
The term "Women in Refrigerators" was coined by writer Gail Simone as a name for the website in early 1999 during on-line discussions about comic books with friends. It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 (1994), written by Ron Marz, in which Kyle Rayner, the title hero, comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed in a refrigerator.[2]

Simone and her friends then developed a list of fictional characters, superheroines who had been "killed, maimed or depowered."[3] The list was then circulated via the Internet over Bulletin Board System, e-mail and electronic mailing lists. Simone also e-mailed many comic book creators directly for their responses to the list.

The list is considered “infamous” in certain comic book fan circles.[4] Respondents often found different meanings to the list itself, though Simone maintained that her, "... simple point (had) always been: if you demolish most of the characters girls like, then girls won't read comics. That's it!"

Where was I in the 90's when this was happening? Oh yes, I was a closet feminist with Dial-up.

Some great points in this article. While some of these assumptions may seem unfair, I defiantly agree that if you kill off all of the good relateable female characters, females wont wanna read these. Times have changed, especially with the success of female centric comics, like Buffy etc, but this for sure still happens.

Um, yes please!

This is interesting! While I can't attest to the credibility of this information, this news is very exciting. I'm sure they aren't gonna do Tudyk AND Fillion, just Tudyk would be amazing! He was amazing in both Firefly as well as in Dollhouse, two roles which are extremely different, but equally as complex and satisfying so I feel that he could definitely embody the role of super hero very well. And with an established director like Wright helming this I feel like this is in good hands. All that's left to do is brush up on my Ant Man universe. Looking froward to the upcoming developments of this projects.
Double bonus for him having a cameo in Avengers!
