Avenger Time

Love the Avengers? Love Adventure Time? Love a good crossover?

Well, so does Mad TV!

Introducing Avenger Time!!

That was awesome, wasn't it? I think the guys at MAD TV did a great job. Here are a few fun facts that they had about this cartoon.

• This segment has the same name as the T-shirt containing Jake and Finn in Avenger costumes.  
• (you can buy it here)
• However in the picture, Jake is Iron Man instead of Hulk. So this could be an inspiraton for MAD to create this segment.
• The Avenger crew turned mostly like this:

1. Captain America as Finn

2. Hulk as Jake

3. Iron Man as Lumpy Space Princess (LSP)

4. Thor as Muscle Princess (possibly)

• Finn and Jake mostly turned like this:

1. Finn as a super powered Batman

2. Jake as the Thing

• Other Dimensions included were:

1. The Avengers Dimension

2. The Marvel Super Heroes (1960's)

3. Super Hero Squad Show

4. Adventure Time Dimension

• Red Skull had two bandages on his forehead.
• The title of Avenger Time looked similar to Adventure Time.
• The Ice King in this segment almost sounded similar to the Ice King in Adventure Time, because he is voiced by Tom Kenny, but the Ice King looks different.
• When Ice King freezes Captain America in a block of ice, Iron Man remarks that he cannot stop getting frozen, but this is actually a reference to when Captain America gets frozen in a block of ice during World War II and gets unfrozen during the 21st century.
• The scene where Captain America meets the Watcher on the moon is a reference to the pilot episode of Adventure Time, where Finn meets Abraham Lincoln on Mars after the Ice King froze him.
• The Watcher's voice seems similar to Gazpacho, Master Shake and Mr. Baldwin from Chowder, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Fish Hooks respectively, because they are voiced by Dana Synder.
• Captain America's voice is similar to Chris Griffin from Family Guy.
• Antagonists: Red Skull and Ice King
• Second time Adventure Time gets spoofed. The first time was from Malcolm in the Middle Earth.

I've never actually seen Adventure Time, but I hear it's amazing and I really do want to watch it.

 Speaking of The Avengers, have you guys seen the new Trailer yet?

YAY! It looks so great! I can't wait to see it! I do hope that they actually let Hawkeye speak at some point. So far he's gotten the shaft in all the trailers.

Thanks to Look At This Frakking Geekster and I Watch Stuff for these awesome videos

Never Cross Han Solo

You know that moment when you're arguing with that hot princess/scruffy nurf herder and things start happen real fast and suddenly you're kissing one another?

Yeah, that's the one... and then before things can progress any further you get interrupted by a really annoying, pretentious droid? Well, some people don't handle it as well as others...

Not well at all...

What does the poor hot princess think of all this?

She doesn't look too happy about it at all.

I think maybe her and the droid had a thing... No wonder that scruffy nurf herder wasn't happy

Thanks to F* Yeah Han And Leia for the new perspective

The Quest For Lego R2-D2

Oh R2-D2, how do you always end up getting into trouble? Granted, you always seem to save the day, but not without trouble first.

 I love all the fun little cameos in this; Indiana Jones, the shadow of Darth Vader, Jawas... Not to mention the AT-AT, space slug, R2 hitting on R2-KT. The amusement park at the end is my favorite. I wish that place actually exsisted. I mean with all the other stunts George Lucas has pulled, I'm surprised he hasn't opened his own theme park. I would totally eat lightsaber cotton candy and go on the Tunnel of Vader Love!

Anyhoo, this video was actually created to advertise a game for Lego.com called The Quest For R2-D2, where you can play as 4 different characters on 15 different levels. 

It's a few years old now, but I just heard about it for the first time today! You can try it out or other Star Wars games here. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to work on my MAC, so if you play it, you'll have to let me know how awesome it is. Or you can tell me it sucks and then I won't feel left out :P

Either way, I'm off to play Lego Clone Wars on the Wii.

Thanks to Sparkle Sugar for loving R2-D2 as much as I do and Brickpedia for loving Lego!

No One Does It Better Than The Birds Of Prey

I've often said that life would be much more exciting if it were a musical. How fun would it be dancing to work or getting to sing your heart out when something is wrong? That would be good therapy. 

I love when TV/Movies/Cartoons agree with me; I just never thought I'd see it happen in Batman.

Enter the lovely ladies of The Birds Of Prey

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Mask of Matches Malone!

 Batman joins forces with Black Orchid as they both fight the seductive, but dangerous, Poison Ivy, along with her henchwomen.
Main Plot: Black Canary and Huntress, along with Catwoman, pursue Two-Face. At the same time, Batman (in his Matches Malone persona) gets amnesia and believes himself to actually be a gangster.

 That was totally awesome, wasn't it? And did you hear those sassy lyrics?

[Catwoman]: Good evening all you gentlemen,
mobsters, creeps and crooks.
[Huntress]: Men in tights come after you,
and still you're off the hook.
[Black Canary]: For those who scare and terrorize,
it's the dawn of a brand new day.
[All]: You scum can simply call us
The one and only Birds of Prey

[CW]: Green lantern has his special ring.
[BC and H]: Pretty strong that little thing.
[BC]: Blue Beetle's deeds are really swell.
[H]: But who will bring him out of his shell?
[CW]: Flash's foes, they finish last.
[H]: Too bad sometimes he's just too fast!

[All]: While all the boys can always save the day
No one does it better than the Birds of Prey.
(The one and only birds of prey)
While all the boys can always save the day,
No one does it better, no one does it better, than the Birds of Prey.

[CW]: Green Arrow has heroic traits,
that is when he's shooting straight.
[BC]: Hey!
[CW]: I'm just saying...
[BC]: Aquaman's always courageous.
[H]: His little fish, less outrageous.
[BC]: Plastic man can expand,
[CW and H]: Becomes putty in our hands.

[All]: While all the boys can keep you punks at bay
No one does it better than the birds of prey
[Bruce's bodyguards]: (The one and only birds of prey)
While all the boys can always save the day
No one does it better, no one does it better, than the Birds of Prey.

[CW]: Batman throws his batarang.
What a weapon, what a bang. [She strokes his shoulder.]
[BC]: Check out that utility belt.
Sure can make a girl's heart melt. [She leans on him from the other side.]
[H]: He's always right there for the save.
I'd like to see his secret cave.

[All]:While Batman does things in his special way,
He'd do it better with the Birds of Prey.
(The one and only Birds of Prey)

While Batman always seems to save the day,
No one does it better
No one does it better than the Birds of Prey.
Birds of Prey...
[CW]: Meow.

I love all the slams against the other superheros about being too fast or too small, but that they have nothing bad to say about Batman. Is it because he's there or is it because he's just that awesome? I mean, they're not trying to impress Batman; he doesn't even know he is Batman at this point. I'm going to go with awesome, but that's just me. 

I really want to start watching this show, it looks really amazing. I wasn't sure at first if it would live up to Batman the Animated Series, but after seeing this, I'm totally sold.

Have you seen it? Is it worth watching? Tell me your feeling about it so I have more to go on than a musical number.

Thanks to DC Women Kicking Ass for always keeping me apprised of what our Super Gals are up to and to Earwormhole for the lyrics, so I didn't have to figure them out for myself.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Show On Earth

Who doesn't love Harley Quinn? She's vivacious, fun, quirky, crazy and sexy. She brings more depth to The Joker and Poison Ivy and she has an awesome back story! She was originally only suppose to be a walk on role, but soon to become a regular character and a fan favorite. Other than Slave Leia, Harley Quinn is probably one of the top cosplayed female characters. And who can blame those girls for wanting to wear the red and black spandex and run around acting crazy? Heck, even I've thought of doing it.

Kate Quinn and Tara Strand took it one step further than cosplay and came up with this great little video

 A little piece of a music video with Tara Strand as Harley Quinn performing to "Greatest Show On Earth" by Macy Gray from the "Idlewild" soundtrack by Outkast. This was created as a part of the collaborative Harley Quinn music video project conceived by Kate Quinn at misskatequinn.tumblr.com. Hope you enjoy!
PS - The straight jacket bit is part of an act developed for the awesome sauce all-girl sideshow troupe The Sideshow Sirens! Check us out!: www.SideshowSirens.com

 It wouldn't have been the music I would've picked, but then I'm not a huge Macy Gray fan. The whole thing is super fun and super sexy! I do love a little burlesque, especially geeky burlesque. I'm actually wearing my burlesque bombshell shirt today. Go figure.

So if you could do or see any geeky burlesque, what would you want it to be of, or is Harley Quinn right up your ally?

Thanks to F* Yea Harley Quinn for the tip and 1nch for the amazing Harley Quinn art

Star Wars Geek Chic

Love Star Wars? Want to show your geeky pride, but aren't into graphic t's or cosplay? Well, these outfits are for you.

The girls of Disney Bound came up with a great idea; take traditional character costumes and recreate them with regular clothes. They mostly do Disney outfits, but every once in a while, they take on other, more geekier genres; like Star Wars.

I really love the Padme outfits. But then her outfits have always been my favorite. The red and gold always signify royalty to me and it's very reminiscent of her throne room outfit (my all time favorite!)

The Princess Leia outfits are subtle and soft; which is true for her outfits, if not her personality. 

These Luke Skywalker outfits have the elegance of a jedi knight while still having a comfortable farm boy feeling.

Can you feel the fashion power of the dark side? I love the Stormtrooper outfit! I would wear that everywhere!

If these are the droid duds you're looking for, I can see why! I love the shine and glitter that these to outfits have, but if it were me, I'd add some detail belts to the middle to give them a more authentic look.

Whether hanging out in the swamps of Dagobah or rubbing shoulders with politicians and jedi in Coruscant, there's a Yoda outfit for you! I love both these outfits so much!

For those of us who have Boba Fett-ishes, these are great, everyday outfits. I actually own a Boba Fett inspired outfit. It consists of a yellow t-shit that I wear under a moss green tank top. I love it!

 Now how cute would these be with my Boba Fett bag? 

Wouldn't that just be perfect? (you can order one here)

These are just a few of the great Star Wars outfits. You can check out the rest here or you can take a look at all of their creations here.

So, what characters inspire your clothing choices? Let me know. In the mean time, I'll be making as many Padme outfits as I can :P
