This looks like a job for a Superheroine

Yesterday, I was thinking about the last couple of issues of JSA, when it dawned on me that something has been missing... Then I realised that thing it had been missing was it's under use of Stargirl. Now granted she has been shown prominently, however she really hasn't been the guiding force she usually is, I don't really blame any of the writers. After all in a team book you have to rotate how you choose ot focus on. Thinking about this got me on to thinking about the Super heroines I dig and what that might mean about my Psyche. Which got me thinking about what I should post and I figured it was time for one of my ever popular lists. So, here as it stands today, are the Super heroines I think are the coolest (and maybe a little insight into what this says about my taste in girls,lol).
And as always these are not listed in any sort of order (other than popping into my head in that order,lol).

Since, I already mentioned her. I'm going to start this list with Stargirl AKA Courtney Whitmore. I thin she is awesome for many of the same reasons I like Jubilee. They both have bubbly, outgoing personalities. Which I could be digging on just on the basis that as a LEO bubbly,outgoing girls are pretty attractive to me. Beyond that I really dig that she has gone from a junior member to a leadership role in the JSA in just a few short years. That is pretty awesome.
I guess that brings us to Jubilee. Ah, Ms. Jubilation Lee. How can you not love this firecracker (no, pun intended). The saddest thing about me love of Jubilee is how when I first became a fan of her she was a few years older than me and now she's roughly 10 years younger than me. From the first time I read about her (the X-Men's Atlantis Attacks Annual)to her staring role in the cartoon and even her cameos in the X-Men movies. Right on,I'm quite pissed about Joey Q's treatment of her from House of M up until and including her return in the New Warriors.
Speaking of Warriors. I could not do a post like this without mentioning the greatest warrior to ever escape Apokolips. That's right I'm talking about Barda Free...Big Barda herself.How can you not love Barda, she's a tough girl with a big loud personality. She is no shrinking violet that's for sure. She can be bombastic or sweet. She's loyal and kind.
Next I think I'll have to mention Zinda before it slips my mind. I'm not going to go to deep into the awesomeness that is Lady Blackhawk. Since, I did a whole post on that not too long ago. I'll just say this... She likes guns,booze and, fighting what's not to love.
I gues that this point I should probably mention my second favorite X-girl. Rogue, what's not to love about a southern belle that can punch through a brick wall. My favorite protrayal Rogue was when she had stolen Ms. Marvel's powers. She's tough as nails yet sensitive and longing to be touched without the consequences of killing another person. Plus she has that southern drawl (and accents are HAWT!).
Moving we come to Soranik Natu Doctor and Green Lantern pulled between her duties and her homeworld. She since her first appearence in the Green Lantern Corps. I have loved the way the writers have protrayed her. She is just plain awesome.
Last but not least is Molly Hayes from the Runaways. She's just so darn cute. Even when she is punching through walls. In a lot of ways she reminds me of my siblings and the daughters of my friends and family.

Well, I could go on and on about the Superheroines I love but I feel this is a good stopping point for now and I'm sure I'll be coming back to this subject in the future. But for now here's the list I'm going with

Movie Pitch: Guy Gardner

I thought I'd do something different today. This morning I was in the shower and I got the idea for the most awesome, action packed movie ever! That's right Guy Gardner. Well,technically it would be a trilogy. The first to movies would focus on Guy becoming a Green Lantern and the last movie of the trilogy would be Justice League International. So, let's get to it. Shall we?
Here's the pitch. The movie opens with Guy charging his power ring and the battery exploding and sending him into a coma. It then flashes back to his childhood in Baltimore and shows his family, his relationship with his parents, his juvenile delinquency and how his brother Mace set him on a better path. It would cut between these flashbacks and scenes at the hospital of Hal talking to him and the doctors. It would then show Guy becoming a football star, going to the University of Michigan and getting his bachelor's degrees in Education and Psychology. Then, the movie cuts to Oa and shows the beginnings of the rift between the Guardians (which will lead directly to the ending of the first film). We then flash to Guy's work as a prison social worker where he meets Hal Jordan. The first film ends with Guy becoming a Special Education teacher and the Guardians splitting into two factions.
The second movie picks up with Guy becoming Hal's backup and him continuing his work as a teacher until he was hit by the bus saving a lttle girl during an earthquake. It then cuts to all the renegade Gaurdians (save for one) being slain by Bolphunga The Unrelenting.It then follows up on the events which lead to Guy's power battery exploding at the opening of the first film. After this the remaining Guardian goes to Earth, wakes Guy from his coma and makes him a Green Lantern. The rest of the movie showing him tracking down, defeating and imprisoning Bolphunga and of course, the third movie would open with him sitting at the meeting table in the headquarters of the Justice League with his feet on the table waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.

And now that I've pitched it. Here's my picks for the cast of the Guy Gardner trilogy.

Guy Gardner - Jake Busey. You can't tell me he wouldn't be perfect for this role.

Roland Gardner - Gary Busey. Come on looking at the lead you can't tell me you didn't see this choice coming with the pick of the lead. Who better to play Guy's abusive alcoholic father than Gary fucking Busey.

Peggy Gardner - Judith Light. Seeing her on Law and Order, I think she has the chops for this role.

Mace Gardner - Sean Willaim Scott. Who better than Stifler to play Guy's older brother.

Hal Jordan - David Boreanaz. He was awesome in the role in New Frontier. So why not?

Bolphunga The Unrelenting - Kurtwood Smith. I don't think there could be a better person to play Bolphunga.

The Guardians - Stanley Tucci,Ben Kingsley, Armin Shimerman,Frank Langella, Clint Howard.

The Renegade Guadians - Fred Thompson,Robert Duvall, J.K. Simmons, R. Lee Ermey. Now those are some badass guardians.

The Last of the Renegade Guardians - Patrick Stewart. He's bold and he has the best voice ever.

Guy's Doctor - Bruce Campbell. I had to fit him in somewhere 'cuz he's just that awesome.

So, there you have it my plot and cast for the ultimate Guy Gardner movie.

More splenders of love

I'm not talking about The Watchmen 'cuz I still haven't seen it. So, I thought I'd go back and fill in some of the couples in comics that I dig but, because of lousy planning I left off of fridays list. Without any further ado, let's get to it.

Scott and Barda Free - I have no clue why or how I managed to leave this couple off the list. When I think of what marriage should be this couple is the example I use.

Gambit and Rogue - My favorite Southern fried couple. They may fight and bicker and maybe even stray. But, in the end they always come back to one another. No matter what happens you just know, they'll always end up together.

John Stewart and Katma Tui - They are literally a power couple.

Al and Wanda Simmons - Sure it all went to hell (literally) after he dead. But, he made a pact with the devil in an atempt to stay with her after his death. Now that's love.

Colossus and Kitty Pryde - Granted it is kind of wrong that he was pursuing he when she was in Junior High and he was already an adult. But, once she grow up they became a great couple as far as I'm concerned (well, when they aren't dying on each other).

Well, after doing both this list and the one from friday. I'm fairly certain now that I have included my favorite comic book couples.

A strange thought about Green Lantern history

So, this weekend I had a strange thought. That thought was this considering the history, if Guy Gardner was as self aware as oh let's say Animal Man. Wouldn't Guy dislike John Stewart? After all when Denny O'Neil decided to create John Stewart ('cuz DC needed a black Green Lantern to be relavant,I guess) he had to get Guy out of the way and he accomplished this by having a bus fall on Guy. After this Guy Gardenr was out of comission for about a decade. If I was him I know I'd be irked. Besides, that one could also make the argument that because John was picked to be in the JLU cartoon it took until a new series for Guy Gardner to make his debut in another medium rather than just comics. So,taking all this into account I don't think Guy would like John if he was aware of all of this. But, that's just my two cents.

Guy Loves Ice

So, I was thinking about comics as I'm wont to do and I thought up what I think is a pretty good idea for a comic and that idea is... Guy Loves Ice, starring everyone's favorite Green Lantern...

Guy Gardner

and his sweetheart...

Ice

If I was writing it and I should be because it's my idea,damn it. I would make it about the trials and tribulations of trying to maintain a successful relationship, while being a intergalactic cop dating a superhero and all the complications that brings like your partner dying and being resurrected. For the most part the book would focus on the drama and comedy of modern relationships. With an occasional appearance of a sociopath bent on world or galactic conquest and it would take place in between the stories of the Green Lantern Corp. Mainly it would focus on Guy trying to be the best man he can be for his mate, and while he may slip and fail occasionally, most stories would end with him putting his arms around Tora looking deep into her eyes and saying " Baby, you're the greatest." before kissing her on the mouth. I image this book to be a cross between The Honeymooners (one of the best TV shows ever),Mary Jane loves Spiderman and, Justice League International, with a little dash of Nick and Nora Charles thrown in for good measure.
Well, there's my comic book idea. If you want to contact me Mr. DiDio,I will be waiting by the phone with eyes closed and fingers crossed.

I really want a GL bowling shirt and maybe a track suit

ARG! Todays been pretty hectic I had to take a mid-term and do some homework. Which is the reason it is so late in the day and I hadn't posted a new blog yet. well, since my time is pretty limited today this is going to be a bit short. Anyways, Here we go...
Every once in a while I wonder why neither DC or Marvel has put out a clothing line. I mean there are enough comic book fans out there that this could easily make money. So, I thought I'd take up the challenge and tell these folks how to make some more money.
If I was in charge of Marvel I would put a an Xavier's School for Higher Learning clothing line. This line of clothes would include sports jackets, gym shirts and shorts, ties, tie pins, varisity and junior varisity jackets, hoodies, track suits and anything else I could think of. All of them would include (somewhere on them) the Xavier's School logo.
As for DC, I would do a Green Lantern clothing line. Besides the GL jackets, hoodies and shirts they already produce, it would include wifebeaters, hawaiin shirts (like the one Guy sports in GLC #4) bowling shirts. track suits and whatever else I could think of, and of course all the different GL rings would be available in basic and light and sound versions.
Personally, I think this idea would be like printing money for both of the big two. Now if only they'd give me a job in their marketing depts. I would be on my way to making this a reality.

5 saturday morning cartoons that should be

So, I thought it would be fun (since this place is owned by Rupert Murdoch and all) to throw out a few ideas that I think would make good saturday morning cartoons. Because, well the whole concept seems to have gone to pot and the main reason I've chosen the five I have is mainly because of how much they could appeal to kids and adults alike. So, with out further ado... Here are the five concept I think need a saturday morning cartoon series.


1. The New Mutants ~ I love this comic from the 1980s and think it would make an awesome cartoon. Basically the idea behind the New Mutants is that they're the JV X-Men team. They range in age from 14 - 18 and are just learning to use their powers. Just using the comics books stories would give you atleast a few years worth of stories. Plus you could even use the whole rival school thing with Emma Frost's Hellions.

2. Army of Darkness ~ To me this one is a no brainer. An animated show based on Army of Darkness the only thing better than this one is if you could get Bruse Campbell to do the voice of Ash, himself. Of course the great thing about this is one is that you could make it either a saturday morning cartoon or a prime time animated show and it could still be really freakin' cool.
3. The Green Lantern Corps. ~ Okay so here's the pitch. The guardians of the universe send out rings that harness a person's will power and can manifest from said will power solid objects. This would be so cool. Have Hal Jordan or Guy Gardener as the main character and then have a supporting cast of thousand. You'd never run out of cool stories.

4. The Incredibles ~ WTF! why isn't this one on the air right now?

5. Harry Potter ~ This one is kind of in the same vain as the New Mutants (just a whole lot more popular,lol). Kids going to a special school to learn how to use and control their new found powers. The only major differance between the two is the New Mutants and Harry Potter is in Harry Potter it's about magic instead of being born with super powers (still pretty much the same concept).

Well, ther you have it. My list of cartoons that really need to come and brighten the lousiness of saturday morning cartoons (sans the Littles, of course) and Rupert if you're reading this all I require is a few thousand dollars as a finder's fee and all these Ideas and maybe a few more are yours.
