He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast...
Ok, I've been listening to way too much "Eye of the Tiger" radio on Pandora for the last 48 hours. It runs through the same 15 songs over and over again, but it's just too perfect for cleaning, patching holes, sanding, painting, etc. with my mom.
I hate this type of housework by the way. Seriously, I'd live in a cave if it was socially acceptable. It would be a really clean cave, because I don't mind the cleaning so much, but painting and yard work? No thanks.
My weekend hasn't been all work and no play, though. I did go see X-Men: Apocalypse (the non-Disney Marvel movie because, for some reason I can't understand, Disney does not own them... yet).
And speaking of heroes... move over, Ant-Man. This guy's my new favorite:
That's Quicksilver. Now, when it comes to X-Men, I've always been partial to Domino (long story for another time... probably never because most of my audience for this blog isn't going to care), but she's never in any of the freaking movies. Quicksilver has been in the last two, and he runs really fast. So he rocks.
I wanted to find out more about the actor who plays him, except when I asked Google about Quicksilver, I also got this guy:
Hang on... that's Quicksilver from Age of Ultron, last year's Marvel Avengers movie. (Spoilers forthcoming).
The Marvel Universe isn't big enough for two Quicksilvers, is it? Are you telling me that guy is the same character as:
What?!!!
Yes. He exists in both the Avengers world and the X-Men world.
Mind. Blown.
How am I supposed to choose? Can they both be my favorite? Hmmm...
Ok, this guy is Disney. So he should win, right? Well, just a sec...
Even though X-Men's Quicksilver is not Disney, he's actually a good guy in both Days of Future Past and Apocalypse...
Whereas Age of Ultron's Quicksilver is on the side of evil for most of the movie.
But he did defeat McLovin' in Kick-Ass.
Er. Hang on, Nicole. Let's just stick with Marvel movies, mmkay?
Alright... but just sticking with Kick-Ass for a second...
YES!!! They were both in Kick-Ass.
I can't handle all of this crossover. My head is going to explode. Ok, back to X-Men.
So X-Men's Quicksilver is Magneto's son. That can't be a good thing, right?
But Age of Ultron's Quicksilver kind of... dies... at the end. So doesn't leave me much to look forward to, right?
Winner:
Like I said before: Always go with the guy who makes you laugh.
