The Magnificent Monstrosity that is Marvel

Hey guys, Bass again, and I've got some updates for you! Now for those of you who have lived under a rock for the last week you've missed some big news. Obviously I'm going to be talking about Marvel, because I love Marvel and it's in the fucking title of this post. So, let's start off with one of the "smaller" gigs: Sony and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Big news? We've got video of Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, and that's chilling as fuck. If you haven't seen it yet...

VID: 

So that's cool. Next we have leaked pictured of who we presume to be The Vulture. Some bald(ish) guy prancing around in Ravencroft Industries shit... Yeah, it's gonna be Adrain Toomes. Then we have Paul Giamatti as the Rhino. Of course this has been known for some time, but I'm just super pumped to see the Rhino go ham on Spidey. 

PICS: 



Next, we've got Fox with both The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. I'd like to start by saying... OH FUCKING SHITBALLS SENTINELS!!! Now that that's out of the way, more footage and pictures are leaking for The Wolverine, which is fantastic. Chances are, they can't possibly fuck this one up because I'd like to think they learned something after X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Only time will tell if I still hate Fox. Nextly (cause that's a word now), X-Men: DoFP has had leaks too. Specifically; Wolverine and Old Wolverine, Iceman, Jean Luc Picard, Gandalf, and most importantly a badass Bishop. So that's cool. Can't wait for it, and I'm really looking forward to Tyrion mass producing weapons of genocide. One more time... Sentinels.

Lastly, the Avengers movie universe. So, things to come, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Cap gets a make over and Bucky is a bad guy. Word is they are using the good ole Captain as a springboard for Avengers 2, which isn't a terribly big surprise. Thor: The Dark World, we're so close it hurts. Loki stole the show in Hall-H and we got a new trailer that *spoilers*shows Asgard getting fucked up*end spoilers*. So that's neat. Guardians of the Galaxy brought the whole crew out and let's be honest, it's gonna be fantastic. If you still aren't familiar with GotG, go to the Google and learn yourself asap, because this is gonna be massive. GotG could very easily shake up the entire Marvel movie universe because we're moving to things on a more galactic scale. Duh. Which means villains are gonna start being bigger and badder, the threats more threatening, and the amount of badassery is now unlimited. Finally, we're gonna end this long ass post with this... Avengers: Age of Ultron. Firstly, kudos Joss Whedon, for throwing a massive curveball with Thanos in the last Avengers and leading us on to believe he was gonna be the baddie. Ultron means several things, firstly we may yet see Ant-Man, however rumors are *spoilers*Ultron may be a corrupted JARVIS*end spoilers* which would be a fucking huge throw. More heroes, a super badass villain, being Ultron, and the return of Ironman means that Avengers: Age of Ultron will blow Avengers out of the water. Coming from me, that's saying something. So long, folks, here is a sentinel head, you're welcome.

Get Ready For Genocide

Pacific Rim Review

So that was a ride. I think Pacific Rim is one of those movies that is exactly as people describe it: good for what it is. The story isn't terribly original, the science isn't sciency enough, and the saucy, more experienced sergeant couldn't pin down his accent. That aside, it was terrifically entertaining. The CG was gorgeous, the effects were tastefully done (no Baysplosions), and the story is really decent. This is a movie that I could watch over and over without becoming disenchanted with the beautiful, bizarre future Guillermo Del Toro laid out for us. It's the kind of movie my dad would watch on TNT at 3 in the morning because it's on. And for that, I rate it a 3.8/5 on the Joe scale of movies.

Geek Cast One Shot: Beta Ray Diesel

According to dailysuperhero.com  the Korbinite race will be included in Marvels upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy.  I don't believe its to far off to assume that Beta Ray Bill will be included somewhere down the line in the MCU.  Now i'm no betting man but ill wager my prized mule they already have him cast.....drum roll please.....ladies & gentlemen in a prediction sure to go wrong Vin Diesel will play Beta Ray in either Guardians or Avengers 2.   You heard it hear first.
