    He doesn't ride anything so far as I'm aware, so I'd say no.

    I don't think so.
    Scorpion is generally a damned soul condemned to hell who made a deal with a sorcerer to come back to earth and take vengeance against those who had wronged him.
    Ghost rider though, is a damned soul condemned to hell who made a deal with the devil to come back to earth and take vengeance against those who had wronged him.

    i wonder if marvel will interpret him to have an english accent as would be typical for evil doctors or actually have him have a more eastern european/baltic accent which would be more accurate

    But would it come and go as much as Wanda's accent?

    Both are definitely Mephisto, though.

    pretty sure jacked Magneto was because of some crazy comic book shenanigans. the first X-Men movie stuck to the comics though by casting him as a frail holocaust survivor. Im sure they eventually would have gotten to comic book shit like coloning him and having John Cena be Joseph or some silly shit. I'm so glad Fox X-Men movies are over

  • SchadenfreudeSchadenfreude Mean Mister Mustard Registered User regular
    Magneto as a character was almost twenty years old before they tied him to the Holocaust - he was just a yoked up megalomaniac before then (who was turned into a baby and back again).

  • SleepSleep Registered User regular
    Jacked magneto is on the cover of x-men 1963. Him being a jacked ubermensch is a pretty central feature of his character as far as I remember.

    I know, at any given point I was like "Izzat Gladiator? Or New Kid on the Block Wahlberg? Oh it's that aussie guy Joel Edgerton? No wait, Tom Hardy you sonuvabitch, is it actually Mayor Carcetti and they're making a Dark Knight Rises Bane meta joke with his casting?"

    Looks to be based on the Welsh / Arthurian legend of the Green knight.

    Basically, green knight comes to castle, challenges Arthur to a duel: "let's chop each others heads of."
    Gawain takes up the challenge, chops his head off, the green knights picks up his head and says: "in one year, you need to come to my castle, and I'll chop yours of"

    So, Gawain does so. Meets green knight and his SUPER HOT AND HORNY WIFE.
    3 times the wife tries to seduce him, 2 times it fails, third time he doesn't boink her, but accepts.. a gift.. or something (it's been a long time)

    Green knight comes to chop off Gawains head, but stops 2 times.
    The third time he merely knicks Gawains neck a bit and says "Yeah, she's super hot, so I can understand that you were tempted"

    And...end of story.

    Looks interesting, Maggie Q was pretty decent at action in the Nikita reboot they did.

    I left out a whole bunch of cool stuff, like Morgan le Fey sending the Green knight over in an attempt to kill Guinevere, a cool axe that's magical, and some over the pants patting and kissing between our Sir Gawain and the hot lady. Sir Gawain has to give the Green knight everything he receives, so he also ends up with some hot knight-on-green-knight (kissing) action.
    Also, she has a girdle that makes you immume to having your head chopped of... pretty handy!

    But maybe the coolest thing in the story is that it has an unusual lesson. A lot of stories warn us about Hubris, or how to be loyal, or some ideal moral that you have to aspire to but that basically, no human could actually reach. But the adventures of sir Gawain tell us that...sometimes it's good enough just to try...

    Yeah, he fails, in everything:
    He's too overconfident and boisterous in accepting the challenge, he meant well, but it was stupid
    He's too horny to not completely say no to medieval nooky, but doesn't completely go for it.
    He breaks his word by not giving the "bridle of not getting killed" to the Green knight as he should.
    And he flinches and is afraid when he's about to be beheaded, and is thus a coward.

    But...he still wins, because he really tried. And sometimes, that's good enough.

    It's kind of a great moral, and not seen enough that yeah, sometimes the act of trying to be good...is enough, even if you fail.

    I just love the hook of the story where the green knight shows up with this weird contest of trading blows, and Gawain is like "yeah alright, try this winning strat, chump" and chops his head off, thinking boom, he's won

    and then the green knight picks up his fucking head and, to the horrified crowd, goes "interesting choice partner, see you in a year for your turn"

    thus follows a year of crisis on the part of our naive knight hero

    This is cool:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLw_CYP02lg

    A short feature by George A. Romero that went unreleased for nearly a half-century. Commissioned for a group of Lutherans on the topic of how society mistreats the elderly. They hated it, so Romero just moved on. Shudder's releasing it, and apparently it's a surreal, bleak film about elder abuse that fits in with the rest of his early work.
