How It Should Have Ended

According to the good folk at How It Should Have Ended, this is how X-men: First Class really should have wrapped up.


Head below the cut for a few more lulz.

This may have existed for a while now, but I just found it. Watch it, bub.

X-Men First Class Meets Mulan!

I loved X-Men: First Class! It was a very pleasant surprise thanks to some inventive writing, sharp directing, and some killer performances. It was my favourite superhero movie this year, by a long shot, and far more badass than I think people thought it deserved to be.

But if you want to truly understand how important a part the music plays in a film, then check out these sequences from XFC, brilliantly and inspiringly cut to a song from Disney's Mulan. It certainly makes you appreciate how sometimes one little thing can actually change everything...

Orchestral Version of the Nineties X-Men Cartoon Theme

You remember the X-Men cartoon from the nineties, right!? When the team moved stiffly, and wore garishly coloured Halloween costumes, and Cable spit a grenade pin at some dude's head? It had Jubilee in it and she wore a yellow raincoat and had fireworks that came out of her fingertips even though she was wearing gloves! It looked a lot like this:

If your obliviously innocent memories are as fond as mine are, then please promise me you'll never watch it again. Ever. Because then you'll realise that it's pretty much a colossal piece of crap, and we can't afford to have you doubting and/or hating yourself. One element, however, that does stand up to the test of time is the brilliantly badass theme, and God Bless the Internet because TheKraken has thoughtfully recorded an orchestral version of it.

For once the X-Men cartoon is everything that you hoped it would be:

New Marvel Comics RPG?

It may have been announced over the weekend, but I just learned of Margaret Weis Productions getting the Marvel Comics RPG license. If you are unfamiliar with Margaret Weis, She is one-half of the creative force the produced the original Dragonlance trilogy of novels set in the D&D world of Krynn, a world full of Dragons that up and disappeared one day for a long while, as well as a number of hugely unsuccessful projects that over the years have been received by great fanfare and then went nowhere.

Marvel Comics are full of angsty teenagers who suddenly realized they really were the beautiful unique snowflake they always wanted to be and now have to deal with the consequences that come with it. Along the way they manage to alienate everyone who ever loved them/hated them/was also a beautiful unique snowflake. Also, it gave birth to Stan Lee being fucking awesome
