Marvel Comic Reviews – Age of X: Chapters 3 & 4

The X-Men’s ‘Age of X’ continues in X-men: Legacy #246 and New Mutants #23.

X-Men: Legacy #246

The story continues with Rogue on the run to escape Fortress X. But to where? And hunted by the likes of Moonstar and Eclipse (Sunspot) what chance does she even stand of escaping?

She carries with her the puzzle of why Kitty Pryde had a camera with pictures of nothing on it, saying “he told me to take pictures” and why (Highlight to read spoiler) *Charles Xavier* has memories of everyone at the fortress when he has never met any of them. After Gambit begins to aid Rogue in her escape, Magneto calls off all his followers and takes matters into his own hands by dropping tons of rubble upon them while everyone watches, proclaiming that is what happens to traitors.

The issue ends with Wolverine (who is sympathetic to Rogue) talking to Basilisk/Cyclops about getting to the bottom of things. A menacing looking Basilisk agrees.

*Spoilers follow. BEWARE!*

Arnold Schwarzenegger is “The Governator”

I thought it was the worst thing ever when Arnold Schwarzenegger was voted in as the Governor of California, and not because I live there, but because there goes his acting career for a minimum of four years. So much for any hopes of him playing a Terminator again, or facing off against another Predator. The king of one liners was officially lost to us for an indefinite amount of time. Even after he was done being the Governor, his best years were behind him as evidenced in the infamous beach picture, or as I like to call it “Flab-gate.”

Now he is officially un-governorized and can come back to movies right?

Wrong. Arnold’s first return to the entertainment world, according to Screen Rant, is a project called… The Governator. I’m definitely a little disappointed that this will be his next stop, even if it is a collaboration between him and comic book god Stan Lee. I mean let’s face it, Stan the Man also had a big hand in the Pam Anderson fecal-fest known as Stripperella. Screen Rant also listed some of the “awesome” details of the show listed below:

  • An Arnold Cave, which Lee describes as “a secret high-tech crime-fighting center under his house in Brentwood.”
  • A collection of “Super Suits” that allow him to fly and perform stunts
  • A 13-year-old computer whiz sidekick named Zeke Muckerberg (get it?)
  • An evil organization titled: Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons – or G.I.R.L.I.E. Men

Hopefully the show will give us some ridiculous stuff to laugh at. Maybe they can do something like they did with the commercial below, because that made me laugh and nearly pee my pants:

Steven Spielberg’s Falling Skies

A whole lot of people have to be getting burned out on alien invasion storylines. We’ve had more than our fair share of them just in the last six months and still have Super 8 and Cowboys and Aliens coming our way.

Could it be that the movie studios are all alien operations trying to catch us off guard for an invasion? Maybe. But I still think if an interesting new piece of alien entertainment comes our way it can’t hurt to check it out, because let’s face it: We’re screwed if there is an invasion coming.
So now we have Falling Skies, an alien invasion that starts off six months into the whole ordeal. It focuses on the people left fighting on against these invaders and trying to stay unified with most of the civilized world in ruins.

I suppose what sets this alien show apart from the others is that it takes place after the initial attack and invasion. Most of the recent ones and a couple older movies take place over a couple of days since they are only two-hour movies, (Independence Day, Skyline, Battle: LA) so it will be nice to see the remaining humans striving to survive and figuring out what the aliens are after besides kicking our asses over the course of ten episodes.

The effects, like the similarly Spielberg produced Terra Nova, look pretty darn decent for a T.V. show. It seems summer carrying into fall we will have a couple new Sci-Fi shows to sustain us with Falling Skies and Terra Nova since V will most likely be canceled.

So what does everyone think? Does this Spielberg produced project look any good? Is it going to be another War of The Worlds, this time dragged out over ten hours? This could be Spielberg making up for that boring piece of crud. Bore of the Worlds…. heh heh heh.

Sound off below in the comments section or be annihilated!

It has to be better than this… right?
