Kitty Pryde Is Daenerys Targaryen, Mother Of Dragons

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:10 pm, May 10th, 2013

The theme for CBR’s latest “The Line it is Drawn” was comic characters and Game of Thrones. The Kitty Pryde/Daenerys comparison was inevitable. Thanks to artist Josh Gowdy for making it happen.

Come Drool Over Aaron Diaz’s Concept Art for a Hypothetical Zelda Game Where Zelda is the Player Character

by Susana Polo | 3:32 pm, April 12th, 2013

Webcomic artist Aaron Diaz has a talent for many things. Okay, like I guess primarily drawing, but also for making great comics about philosophy and science, and also for fun, really well informed redesigns of things like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. This week, inspired by Anita Sarkeesian‘s Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, he tackled Zelda, which is to say, he’s produced a number of character and item designs (as well as expository background) for a hypothetical and, frankly, likely very welcome installment of the Zelda franchise that features the titular character as the player character, rather than Link. I mean, we all like Link, but come on. Even Dixie Kong has starred in her own game.

Good News, Someone Else Knows About Pete’s Dragon. Bad News, They’re Remaking It.

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:02 am, March 21st, 2013

I’m not joking when I say I really thought no one else knew about Disney’s 1977 film Pete’s Dragon. My family owned it on Betamax and it was in regular rotation in our home but no one else I knew ever talked about it. Regardless, it’s the next Disney film up for a remake and I’m going to go fly away on my invisible dragon now, k?

This Season of BBC’s Merlin Will Be Its Last. But Maybe That’s For the Best?

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, November 26th, 2012

Sad news, Merlin fans: The current season of the hit BBC show, season five, will be its last. There will be a two-part finale around Christmastime that, says the BBC, will bring the show to a “natural and dramatic end.” And then… nothing.

My first reaction to this was to scream unto the heavens (in a restrained, office-appropriate way, of course), “BBC, you big dollop-heads!” But then I started thinking: Maybe this is good. The show’s kind of gone off the rails lately, hasn’t it? Perhaps it’s better just to end it.

George R.R. Martin Picks the Victors In Game of Thrones vs Lord of the Rings Character Battles

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:43 pm, November 7th, 2012

MTV Geek!: Doing interviews right. A somewhat reluctant George R.R. Martin was asked who would win if some of the characters from his A Song of Ice and Fire were to battle their Middle Earth counterparts. Among the “G.R.R. vs J.R.R.” pairings he tackles are Tyrion vs Frodo (“I’m not sure I’d even pick Frodo over, like, Sam. Either Sam.), Gimli vs Gregor Clegane (he thinks Gimli would win, which I disagree with, but that might just be my fear of Gregor talking), and—the best one—Ned Stark vs Boromir. Either way Sean Bean comes out alive which, as we all know, doesn’t happen often.

Fair warning, the video is a bit spoilery in the beginning, specifically regarding what happens in A Storm of Swords with Jaime Lannister’s hand, so if you’ve not yet read the books you should skip ahead to 1:03.

You Can Take A Skyrim Class At A Texas University

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:14 pm, October 23rd, 2012

We had one comic book course when I went to college and I didn’t even get to take it. Now one university in Texas is offering a course on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Maybe I need to go back to school…

Female Komodo dragons live about half as long as their male counterparts, and an international team of scientists has figured out why:

A Dragon Claw Bracelet For Daydreaming

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:35 pm, September 27th, 2012

You can look at this fashion statement two ways. One would be as Daenerys Targaryan from Game of Thrones, Mother of Dragons, who would be wearing this obviously fake dragon claw bracelet as a tribute to her little ones. Conversely, you could pretend to be Aerin Firehair from The Hero and the Crown, Dragon-Killer, who might have claimed this for her prize. Or you could pretend to be yourself, totally cool person. Unfortunately, this one has already sold, as have the two other alternate ones I saw in RockerDollJewellery‘s store. But the good news is, seller Stephanie Allen makes them to order so it’s likely you can get one that way.

And They All Lived Happily Ever After: If The Disney Villains Had Won

by Susana Polo | 10:13 am, September 25th, 2012

Justin-mctwisp created a small series of portraits last year featuring several major Disney villains (all women, naturally), lounging around like the cat that caught the canary. And no wonder: this is his idea of what all these ladies would have looked like if they’d succeeded in their plans of kidnapping, impersonation, murder and seduction. So, they might be a little old, in internet time, but it’s the first we’ve seen of them, so we’re putting them up here. You’ll just have to deal with that.
