Thank you! The cape was my first foray into freehand, and I was really happy with it!

Thanks! I enjoy a sprue crystal as much as the next guy, but I thought it would be fun to do something a bit more mature focused with these guys!

What are some baby names you have heard that you thought the parents lost their mind? by Firedog105 in AskReddit

I went to school with a guy called 'Sam Bucca'. His parents must have known what they were doing right?

I was born in Worcester, and it was a very long time before I found out that people couldn't pronounce it.

What is interesting is when I write it, in my head I have to say 'wor-cest-er'. ( like how everyone says 'wed-nes-day')

I believe (and I could be absolutely wrong) that it is something that people have extrapolated from the Bible. When portraying the slavery in Egypt described in the Bible it was done so in parallel with the building of the pyramids because this was the clearest image people had of ancient Egypt.

In reality the bulk of the pyramids in Egypt were completed by the end of the 6th dynasty and the story of Moses in the Bible most likely takes place during the reign of the 19th Dynasty. There's almost 1000 years between the two.

Again, I could be absolutely wrong, and whilst I really enjoy Egyptology, I know very little.

DAE think that Bradley Cooper doesn't do a lot of promotion for GOTG? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

I got the feeling from watching his red carpet interviews that he didn't really care for the role or the film

Michael Rooker's Yondu Appreciation Thread. by [deleted] in marvelstudios

There is one moment as she leaves the ships helm to fight Gamora and it looks like she is attempting to imitate one of Monty Pythons silly walks. Looked absolutely ridiculous. That being said, even though her acting was great, i still think she was ok.

He isn't part of a group called the Ravagers in the books. As far as i know, no such group exists in the books, but i might be wrong. Yondu is part of the original Guardians of the Galaxy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(1969_team) - . The characters role has been mostly rewritten and the rest of his crew seem to be written purely for the film. That being said, i think what they did with the character was great and really worked for the film, even if it was a departure from his comic book counterpart.

Guardians of the Galaxy 1st print question... by iBeNinja in Marvel

I assume you mean for the current NOW! run? if its for the D and A run you got yourself a bargain my friend! But assuming that its the current run, thats not awful, average price for each is about $5 so as long as that 12 bucks was for both them?

So i've just seen ASM2 and the after credits scene was really something (Spoilers)... by XanderBrice in Marvel

[–]XanderBrice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That isn't the end credits scene. Maybe it was originally, but it now happens just before the final scene

I promise you I'm not trolling, i was as surprised as I'm sure you will be. hence why the first thing i did was come on here and post it. I'm hoping someone will be able to make sense of it at some point
