Truly Random Brainfart Thoughts - Part 24

Here comes the next edition of Truly Random Brainfart Thoughts (click here to see the others).  Basically,  these are a bunch of random thoughts that came to mind that I couldn't really expand on and thought I should just make them into list form for your enjoyment.  Here goes:

• Do you think dentists floss everyday like they tell us to do?
• Fun Fact - Krusty the Clown and Homer Simpson look so similar because the writers were originally going to have Homer play Krusty as a side job.
• Did you know that Sloan from Ferris Bueller's Day Off gets naked in Timecop?  You're welcome.
• I'm proud to say that I've never eaten a McRib.
• Doctor Who sounds more like a cool band name than the title character of a nerdy TV show.
• Why is it so satisfying to replace your windshield wipers?
• If Hitler had sported a handlebar mustache, would that mean it would be okay to sport a Hitler 'stache and not cool to wear a handlebar 'stache?
• Considering that no one speaks Latin anymore, is it strange that one day modern languages like English and French may no longer exist?
• Do you think Indians from Asia get confused when they hear that a baseball team in America is called the Cleveland Indians?
• In today's modern world, how quick do you think people would figure out the secret identities of comic book superheros?  I'm guessing an hour tops.

"Yup, you get to see her boobs in Timecop."

Ranking Marvel Movie Characters

Today I will be ranking movie characters based on comic books made by Marvel.  That should about sum up what this post is all about.  Enjoy:

• 10) Ultron, James Spader, The Avengers: Age of Ultron - For these first two, I'm kind of cheating because they haven't come out yet, but you have to admit that James Spader as the voice of a Marvel's villain is genius.
• 9) Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch, Doctor Strange - I honestly don't think they could have picked a better actor to play this part and that is why he is already on this list before the movie has even started filming.
• 8) Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man 2 - While I think the new guy made a better Spider-Man, Tobey will always make the better Peter Parker and that's what truly counts when you think about it.
• 7) Blade, Wesley Snipes, Blade - Sure, Wesley Snipes has dropped off the face of the earth, but when the first Blade came out, he nailed it.
• 6) Thor, Chris Hemsworth, Thor - I just saw that Chris will be in the Vacation sequel.  Weird.
• 5) Captain America, Chris Evans, Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Chris Evans just oozes American wholesomeness.  Liked the first Captain America, but loved the second one and that's why he made this list.
• 4) Hulk, Mark Ruffalo, The Avengers - It took three tries to cast one of the best Marvel characters, but they finally got it right in The Avengers.  I'm looking forward to the sequel and what mayhem the Hulk will get into.
• 3) Drax the Destroyer, Dave Bautista, Guardians of the Galaxy - I know, I was surprised when I picked this guy, too.  Chris Pratt was great in the movie, but Dave Bautista's Drax stole the show in my opinion.
• 2) Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, X-Men 1 and 2 - Come on, you knew he would be here and he would have challenged for the top spot if it weren't for that terrible Origin movie.
• 1b) Loki, Tom Hiddleston, Thor, Thor 2, and The Avengers - I couldn't decide between these last two, so I picked them both.  Plus Loki pretty much stole the show in both The Avengers and Thor 2 which is pretty good considering he wasn't the star in either.
• 1a) Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr, All of His Movies - What is there to say about this character?  When it was first announced, I was skeptical, but after seeing it, Robert Downey Jr. was incredible and has been every since.

"Stop.....in the name of love, before I break your heart!"

Who Is This? Part 28

So, who do you think this is?  No, it's not Johnny Carson, even though it does look exactly like him.  Need a hint?  He is much older now.  Ha, gotcha.  I'll give you a real hint this time.  He is the face of Marvel comics.  Got it now?  No?  How dumb are you?  That's Stan Lee.  You know, that old guy that shows up in every Marvel superhero movie these days.  Oh, and I guess he also created some of our favorite comic book characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, the Hulk, Iron Man, and the X-Men (here's a list of all of the characters he is credited for creating, it's really long).  So he's kind of big deal in the nerd community.  But it is really weird to see him without a mustache and glasses, isn't it?

So, what is he up to now?  You know what, I'm not sure exactly.  I guess he is mostly producing movies and TV shows these days.  Whatever he is doing, he is making piles and piles of money.

Worst X-Men Powers

I poured through an entire list of every X-Men ever and found the members with the worst mutant abilities I could find.  I was going to include why I picked each mutant, but I feel like their power explains it.  That's all:

• Banshee - sonic scream
• Rogue - absorbs other mutants' powers
• Longshot - incredible luck
• Dazzler - creates various forms of light
• Maggott - digestive system made of twin maggot-like creatures that can eat through stuff
• Husk - changes body by shedding skin
• Cypher - omnilingual
• Forgetmenot - if seen he will be forgotten as soon as someone looks away
• Longneck - elongated neck
• Forearm - extended forearms
• Choir - multiple openings in throat and can project voice in all directions
• Eye-Boy - eyes covering his body, some can sense beyond normal spectrum
• Basilisk - single eye in forehead that projects paralyzing strobe light
• Flubber - rubbery body
• Squirrel Girl - can control squirrels

"Yes, Squirrel Girl actually exists and is just as dumb looking as you thought she would be."
