Oded Fehr, their fantasy cast choice, is Israeli with parents from Germany and the the Netherlands, because otherwise progressive fannish circles tend to be fucking awful when an actor is Israeli, holy crap
He'd still be awesome as Strange.
He really would. My brother thinks that Alan Rickman would have made a good Dr. Strange. (My vote was for Will Arnett as GOB Bluth as Dr. Strange, because I am a jackass.)
::seal barking::
Arnett as GOB as DOOM would be EVEN BETTER.
I watched a clip of the Avengers fighting Doom in the new cartoon and the voice casting for him is a head-scratcher. Doom shouldn't sound like 80's Skeletor, IMO.
Though Putin would be a lot cooler if he was a sorcerer in power armor.
You don't think that Putin is a sorcerer? I wouldn't be so sure.
Ahh!!! Just like in
The Mummy
!
This being the Internet, there's a good chance that was faked.
You should listen to Cabin Pressure. A: funny as hell; B: bonus Tony Head in later series
Oh, yes, I should check that out again. I listened to the first season, but I got distracted by something shiny.
I've finally finished all of season 1 of Daredevil. I enjoyed it a lot, but I got a little tired of all the fight scenes, especially when Matt would be whoopin' ass and then all of a sudden it's like he completely forgot how to fight and gets his ass handed to him. He always either wins out in the end or escapes, but it just got too rote and cliche for me. OTOH, I love badass Karen; I still can't believe she shot Wesley!! I totally ♥ Karen.
Big shake-up at Marvel Studios. Ike Perlmutter gets pushed aside, Kevin Feige gets all the marbles.
The report also indicates that the ripples from Perlmutter’s departure may be even more substantial than originally thought. According to sources, Perlmutter—who has a background in the toy business—was specifically responsible for the controversial decision to take a gendered approach to Avengers merchandise. In short, the blame is falling on him for the conspicuous absence of Black Widow-related toys.
Well, isn't that interesting. Wonder if we'll see a few more boob-endowed action figures and other merch pretty soon?
