Wolverine's opening weekend take was enough to immediately spawn TWO sequels, a second dose of Wolverine and a Deadpool spin-off. I have to admit that I am not exactly excited about this prospect. If we could somehow get Marvel to produce these movies instead of FOX, it would be much better for everyone. How much will Deadpool be screwed up this time around? Any Deadpool movie needs to be rated R and be a parody of itself, that is the essence of Deadpool, anything else would not work. DP played as a straight action movie with "jokes" is just plain wrong. Are you listening, FOX? Perhaps the Wolverine sequel will be closer to my script idea for a movie based on everyone's favorite runty Canadian; one hour and 45 minutes of Wolvie fighting ninjas in Japan. We already have the set-up, let's see if we can follow through. And that brings me to this: hilarious and awesome.
First Awesome Thing: Secret Invasion: Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill: Green of Eden Yes, the title contains many awesome colons, and once you get past the cover, one finds the insides to contain even more awesomeness. Very good story by Keiron Gillen that moves Beta Ray Bill's story forward and gives him something to think about on the way to his upcoming showdown with Galactus. Plus, a simple equation for you: The Warriors Three + Super-Skrull Technology = ?
If you answered "Awesome," congrats, you are paying attention.
Second Awesome Thing:
This may be the greatest movie ever made. Once it comes out on DVD, this hypothesis will be confirmed.
Now consider the similarities of The Two Awesome Things:
Beta Ray Bill is an alien who gets his power from an ancient Norse god.
Outlander is about an alien that lands in ancient Norse times and fights other aliens that look like Dragons.
And that brings me to this: hilarious and awesome.
