    Let me simply say that if Dazzler makes her way into the MCU, I think she should be portrayed by Taylor Swift.

    You know, I'd be perfectly fine with Michigan's governor giving the EMTs and Paramedics servicing that hospital the use of some M1 Abrams ambulances courtesy of the National Guard to clear up that traffic problem.

    Brother Jim reacted to Old Man in Swords in science fiction -- why?   
    On the one hand, bat'leths are stupid.  On the other hand, for inventing a Klingon-looking weapon out of thin air, and creating something that looks like a martial art to go with it, I have to give credit to the creators.  There are real-life martial arts weapons that are stupider than a bat'leth.

    Never let it be said that Dr Nymax! does not have a sense of humour. He has long been aware of Dr Clement Blatchford and his Omnitron and the fact that Blatchford is jealous. So why not have some fun with him ?
    So he spoke with The Fae and between them they came up with an idea. How about an arch-foe for Clement ? It would need the right moment and the right person but still.
    Thus it came to pass that Clement's employers kidnapped an heiress from a charity gala and brought along her boyfriend who they mistook for a bodyguard. Said boyfriend was a bit of a daredevil and a Bruce Lee fan but lacked the courage to say how he felt to his love. However our  resident Mad Scientist and The Fae can bend the rules so they knew what Blatchford and his employers did not. It came to pass that there was an 'accident' and the boyfriend 'fell' into the Omnitorn which then started working. The machine changed him into an anthropoid llama. The unconscious body was taken away for disposal but burst into sudden life when the heiress was threatened taking down the goons with martial arts. He then used a bike to rescue the heiress and return her to safety. His identity is kept secret as he hunts down the villainous Dr Blatchford. He performs stunts and fights crime in the meantime.
    He is Evel Llamneval.

    Names like this (taken from Turakian Age, though not a critique of that setting by any means):
     
    Shularahaleen
    Thugoradanirion, god of strength
    Sikirarthasanaila, goddess of stealth and guile
    Whandurashaneshir, god of dark magic
     
    UGH!!!!! Why are fantasy names virtually unpronounceable, and so polysyllabic that I have to stop and sound them out phonetically before I can continue on?! Is this inherited from Tolkein? Is it supposed to be proof of the sophistication of a culture? Hey, it takes us five minutes to say hello! It takes even longer to read an account of it in a fantasy novel! It rips me out of immersion instantly. 
     
    This reminds me of the story my Mom used to tell me about the King's son named Stickystickystombonosirombohoddyboddyboscoickenonnuenoncomberombetombo. Not surprisingly, when he was in danger and everyone had to relay the message that he was drowning, they couldn't get to him in time to save him because his name was absurdly long. The King's next son was named Zip.

    Mr. Right with Anna Kendrick & Sam Rockwell. Kendrick falls in love with Rockwell, but then finds out he's a contract killer. Basically a Rom Com with more head shots and better fight choreography. A friend highly recommended it and I confess I was skeptical, but I wound up really enjoying it.

    Constantine was the show that I thought was quite good that was dumped unceremoniously and without just cause.  It had the makings of a great cult hit but they refused to give it a chance.

    I'm still enjoying the show. The 'spy's goodbye' this week really got to me.
     
    And in spite of the various criticisms in this thread, some of which I agree with, I will continue to watch the show until the ABC execs take it off the air. Although it's far from perfect, It's still magnitudes better than a lot of whats on TV today.
     
    YMMV
