SOUTH PARK and DRAGON BALL Z is a Match Made in Heaven

SOUTH PARK and DRAGON BALL Z is a Match Made in Heaven

For those of you who are unaware of KaiserNeko, he and his friends do comedy fan abridgements of the popular Dragon Ball Z series. What’s a comedy fan abridgement, you ask? Well, they take the meat of the episode of an anime — in this case Dragon Ball Z — and abridge it to be shorter and funnier than its source material. KaiserNeko voices many characters on TeamFourStar, which posts their abridged Dragon Ball Z videos online on YouTube and Teamfourstar.com.

Kaiserneko recently posted this very funny mashup of South Park and Dragon Ball Z. It somehow perfectly matches the look of the very powerful characters that are dubbed over them. It’s a short video, but hilarious. Check out more of KaiserNeko’s stuff on Tumblr http://kaiserneko.tumblr.com/.

Stan Lee Reveals his Least Favorite Marvel Movies

Stan Lee Reveals his Least Favorite Marvel Movies

Want to know what Stan Lee‘s least favorite Marvel movies are? In a recent interview at the 2012 Fan Expo in Canada, the comic book legend talked about his characters being adapted for the big screen. He loved The Avengers, but didn’t seem to really care for some of the other films that were made before Marvel started making their own movies.

I would have liked the Hulk to be smaller in the first two movies, and I didn’t like the way Doctor Doom was portrayed in Fantastic Four. Now with Daredevil, they just wrote the whole thing wrong. They made him too tragic. That’s not the way I wrote him. I think they’re working on a new Daredevil movie and it will be better, so hold your judgment until then.

He then goes on to talk about about some of the Marvel superheroes he’d like to see up on the big screen,

Deadpool is such a popular character, I’d be surprised if he wasn’t in his own movie in the near future, or introduced in another movie first. They’re thinking about a Doctor Strange movie, a Black Panther movie, an Ant-Man movie—there’s just so many ideas in the works right now at Marvel!

He obviously isn’t up to date on what’s going on in the Marvel movie world. The Daredevil movie has been scrapped, and Fox is letting the rights revert back to Marvel. Deadpool has been in development for years, but is currently sitting in hell. As for Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Ant-Man, all of them are in development with scripts, but Ant-Man is the closest one to getting the green light.

What are your thoughts on Fantastic Four, the way Doctor Doom was Portrayed, and Daredevil?

Emily Blunt on Captain Marvel and the Two Marvel Roles She Turned Down

Emily Blunt on Captain Marvel and the Two Marvel Roles She Turned Down

Emily Blunt has had two chances so far to play a Marvel character, but she turned both of them down. The first role was Black Widow, which she had to turn down because she was contractually obligated to star in another movie at 20th Century Fox. That movie was the horrendous Gulliver’s Travel with Jack Black. Personally, I think she would have made an amazing Black Widow. Don’t get me wrong! Scarlett Johansson is great as Black Widow, and she owns the part, but after seeing Blunt kick-ass in Edge of Tomorrow… damn, I could see her being a great Black Widow, as well. The other role that she walked away from was Peggy Carter.

The two roles came up in a conversation with Vulture, when they asked if she had been offered the chance to play Captain Marvel, to which she replied:

“No one’s offered me that officially, so it’s… very unofficial. I think it’s fan-casting, which is always very nice. But nothing official has been offered, for sure. If I get it, thank Meryl [Streep] for it!”

I’d love to see her in the role of Captain Marvel. The studio obviously wants to bring her into their cinematic universe. There’s always a chance that Captain Marvel could be their chance. She then talked about why she turned down the first two offers from Marvel, saying,

“It was never the right time, really, and it just didn’t work out scheduling-wise with those two. It’s always a difficult thing to talk about, because it’s not fair to the actresses who ended up playing them, you know? It just wasn’t the right time.”

Even if Blunt doesn’t play Captain Marvel, I’m sure one day she will be introduced as a character in the MCU. The question is, who will it be?!

POKKEN TOURNAMENT Coming to Wii U Spring 2016

POKKEN TOURNAMENT Coming to Wii U Spring 2016

The popular Japanese arcade game and first Pokemon fighting game Pokken Tournament is coming to the U.S! Kotaku reports we should see the game hit shelves stateside in Spring 2016. Obviously this is awesome news for Wii U owners, Pokemon fans, and fighting game fanatics.

The game is almost more comparable in style to Power Stone than Street Fighter, as the movement of fighters looks fairly fluid and open. No official roster has been announced yet, but the Pokemon I’ve seen include Machamp, Lucario, Pikachu, Charizard, Guardevoir, Gengar, Suicune, Weavile, and Blaziken. I’m sure we’ll see more annonuced as the date draws closer.

I was super jealous when I first heard about this game and watching all the footage of people playing it in Japan gets me all the more hyped! See some of the game in action below!
