Well, The Hobbit *is* coming, within the year... I just can't see any way that that's not going to be good.

I'm not sure how you mean this? Loki in the movies was never a villain introduced just for one movie and then they decided later to use him again. When they made Thor, it was fully with the knowledge that Loki would also be the one to bring the Avengers together in their first film... which is based on the fact that…

*sigh* Don't remind me. I was actually expecting them to do something clever with that, and was almost shocked when they didn't. I remember at the time coming up with a twist in which he could have reappeared at the end and actually contributed to the plot, but I don't really recall the details now.

Owls definitely are wild animals that do not make good "pets". They aren't like parrots. This goes for pretty much all of the raptors. Falconry isn't the same thing as "pet owning". (In the U.S. you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get a falconer license and be allowed to keep any kind of raptor. You have…

The key point is that owls are legal to own in the U.K. They are not legal to own without a hard-to-get permit, in the U.S. Everything to do with any species of raptor is highly restricted in the U.S.

Pixar version of the "Thor and the Warriors Four" mini-series. That gets you Power Pack *and* Beta Ray Bill in the same story.

My personal take is... I've only seen text versions of this interview; is there a filmed version? Because tone is everything, especially with Joss Whedon. I feel like we shouldn't take his "I'm torn" statement at face value. He might be saying that in a joking way that means, "are you kidding? of course I'm coming…

They explained that somehow in A:EMH too, but I forget how at the moment. It does seem kinda darker than you'd think the movies would want to get, and putting things in a film emphasizes them a lot more than having them appear in a comic series. I really wouldn't want to see the films gloss over something that…

More to the point, the internet is teeming with rumors right now that in the comics, the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) is or was a cellist at some point. And she's marries the Vision. So...

...who is Johnsen to say the elves weren't perfectly happy with the current placement of the boulder.

I'm assuming it's from "The Art of the Avengers" book.

That's the one! I really need to pick up another copy of that. If I can find one with the original illustrations.

Me too. It is difficult to read "The Enormous Egg" as a child and not have that be the case for triceratops.

"Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" has completely ignored the whole "spousal abuse" thing, so I don't see why the movies couldn't do so as well.

Since the obvious answer to the headline title is, "It would be AWESOME, and the only question is, HOW awesome"... what really first struck me about this article is: why the need to be so defensive about spending time speculating? The introductory paragraphs go out of the way to call it "totally puerile" and to quote…

That's okay — the name "Chitauri" is from the more recent Ultimates line of comics, but even then, the aliens in the movie bore no resemblance to the ones from the comic, they just had the same name. The Chitauri are the Ultimates version of the Skrulls, shape-shifting infiltrators.

"Bad lie, Bruce!"

My thing about the Blue Ringed Octopi is that they are actually extremely tiny and cute and pretty, and they look exactly like the kind of octopus that you would like to interact with, but NO, try it and DEATH. That just seems intentionally mean.

For my money, the best part about this video was that when I first watched it, one of the "related" videos afterwards was a short piece about a golf course located near a river, and how, during some floods, some very large sharks got washed from the river into the golf course's artificial pond... where they are…

Yes, I'm pulling for Ultron, too. I think that would work great, if they can figure out a way to set it up, given the way the ball's been dropped on the Pyms. (I'm not a purist, I don't need it to work the way it exactly worked in the comics or the recent cartoon show, and I don't even need Hank and Janet on the…
