#Marvel NEWS! Marvel Nation

Looks like Disney wanna try getting on Warner Bros' animated territory.
Because they just launched their very own DC Nation Marvel Universe block.

Here's a promo:



On the program:
It already on Disney XD. It will be Marvel's own dedicated cartoon programming block.
It's basically a little segment on the channel where Ultimate Spider-Man will run alongside Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Oh and by the fall/next year, AEMH will be "changed" as they said to (hum... canceled and replaced by) Avengers Assemble - a less plot-oriented more kid friendly take on the Avengers, with more influence from the movies carried over, an humor closer to USM (think Scott Pilgrim on high sugar doses) and a different roster of characters. Cap, Thor and Iron Man will be kept around. But Black Panther, Antman and Wasp replaced by Black Widow (on the team like in the movie) and Falcon. For, some reason...?

Oh, and of course, it will also include new animated shorts and live-action interstitials. Obviously. In case you forgot this was their very own DC Nation Marvel Universe block.

Edit: I might have sounded pretty negative above, but I'm actually all for it! I like the idea. Now, just make those shorts as funny and well animated as this, and you can sign me in!

#SNL - Andrew Garfield makes surprise appearance

Here's a little segment from a recent Saturday Night Live show that The Amazing Spider-Man star Emma Stone hosted.
It also features a random guest appearance from Andrew Garfield!

Check it out:




"America's suffering record unemployment, and we outsource Spider-Man!!" XD

For reminder, Marc Webb's reboot will be out on July 3rd!

ComicPageOfTheWeekend: The all-new Ms. Marvel

Well.. I guess we should rename this "The old-classic Ms. Marvel" now.
Anyway,

#AwesomeCosplay Pics of the day: Rescue

Speaking of "lady Iron Man", here's one pretty awesome cosplay of Rescue, the actual canon "female" Iron Man from the recent Iron Man comics.


It's pretty difficult to find any representation or talks of Pepper Potts' armored persona on the internet, even more so cosplays.
But whenever you find some dedicated fans who put some work into actual Iron Man cosplays, it's pretty often outstanding!

Awesome work!

#EpicPic - Iron Maiden

This is not a cosplay.
This is.

Anyway, this is a totally kickass "Iron WoMan" 3D model done by the talented SgtHK, courtesy from his web portfolio at sgthk.daportfolio.com.


He writes:
My vision of Iron Woman. In celebration of The Avengers. Made in 3ds Max with the help of Mudbox and Topogun. Final touches done in Photoshop.
It's pretty kickass.
Now that's how you make a badass female-counterpart of a male character. No exaggerated, errr, chestal region. No silly girly pose.
Though the hair might be a bit much (I'd imagine it being fake/detachable from the helmet.)

#E3 NEWS! Avengers tie-in

Speaking of Ubisoft, an Avengers tie-in game was confirmed. And yeah, it's coming up a bit late. (I fear cancellation...)


On the down side, this game Avengers: Battle for Earth will be a motion-controlled title for Xbox 360 and Wii U.  
So unless it's a very good and tightly controlled arcade game.. I'm not feeling it so far.

On the plus side it's handled by Ubisoft Quebec and it won't be a simple movie adaptation, but rather take its roots in the comics.
Check out the "real" Hawkeye, Captain America with the little headwings and Thor with his helmet on:


Confirmed in the game are appearances by Wolverine, Spider-Man and more!

Now, we only need to see some actual gameplay footage...

#E3 NEWS! 1st day recap


Not keeping an eye with that much attention at this year's E3 Expo.
Maybe it's because I'm easily spending much more time on retro consoles these days instead of your usual Xboxes, etc.
Or just because this year you have Microsoft announcing "such spectacularly" things as the Internet Explorer for the Xbox 360, or Nintendo and their Wii-U which will have "revolutionary" internet multiplayer gaming and HD graphics, or Sony and their "super original" Smash Bros crossover title and their "all original" motion controllers.
Anyway, there's some fun games that have caught my eye anyway.

First up Marvel released this following trailer of their own DC Universe Online MMORPG Marvel Heroes.
I will certainly be NOT playing it - it being an mmorpg 'n' all - but that doesn't stop me from having a look at this CGi trailer for now:



I hear some familiar voice actors for webhead and Wolvie. And I even got to see Deadpool in there, how cool is that?!

~

Namco just released an all-new impressive trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

s

Awesome, as usual.
And looking great~

'Really motivated for this one!

~

I'm not really a big fan of the Devil May Cry series. I prefer my hack & slash-type of games old school.
But I will buy the "HD compilation" one of these days! Promise!

Anyway, this new reboot title DmC: Devil May Cry - which fans of the series have either been loving or hating it - does look intriguing.



From the folks behind the game Enslaved. So it will have a certain quality at least.

~

That's all for now, next post, Ubisoft and more!~

#Movie NEWS! first pics of Iron Man 3's new villain

Avengers out, did you know they're already filming Iron Man 3 at the moment?
And some crazy screenshots from fans have already invaded the web of what might be one of the movie's new villains....


What is that....?
Lemme see closer...


That's right! It seems to be an Iron Patriot costume!

But I doubt it will be the same kinda Iron Patriot as the one in the Marvel Comics.
In the comics, it was Spider-man's villain Norman Osborn who used this alter ego. But being "copyrighted" by Sony at the moment, someone else will don this armor here.
Technically though, Iron Patriotdid appear first in an Avengers comics, so it might be okay for Marvel films to use him.


This means actor James Badge Dale (originally rumored to be Coldblood) will be playing here in fact some unnamed new guy as Iron Patriot, alongside these other rumored villains Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin, and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian, the man behind the Extremis technovirus.

Seems a bit "too much"... And with Jon Favreau out...will we end up with a "Spider-man 3" again...!?!

#BestOf Spider-Man TV series opening themes

Here's a pretty fun video to start off the day.
It's a compilations of all the intros of all Spider-man TV shows, ever! Even up to date as of now. (includes the on-going Ultimate Spider-man cartoon too!)



Nice, very nice!

It covers Spidey-shows from 1967 to 2012, that is 10 series worth of Spider-Man content!

For years, as much as I liked the 90s Animated Series, I've been asking to myself why Peter looked so weird, so off, so un-Peter Parker. I mean, big square jaws, giant athletic torso, strange hairstyle unlike any of his comic counterparts (nothing like the comic book!Peter at the time at least), and "old school" clothing style.
But thanks to this video, I finally get it!
The 90s cartoon Peter is designed to look closely like the 70s live Peter Parker! Just that a look above again! See?
