How Nick Fury Got His Eyepatch

by Susana Polo | 12:14 pm, April 24th, 2013

As someone who has only recently developed the skills for an occasional application of eyeliner and shadow, the mysteries of the mascara wand seem dark and foreboding. Maybe it’s just the flashbacks to being nigh-on attacked with one when some well meaning friends found out I was makeupless an hour before prom, but I can really relate to markmak’s Fury here.

Copies of David Hasselhoff’s Made For TV Nick Fury Movie Are Going for $70 And Up on Ebay; We Cackle

by Susana Polo | 4:38 pm, September 28th, 2012

This is not a joke. Due to, one can only assume, the popularity of The Avengers, DVD copies of Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., a 1998 made for TV movie based on the Marvel Comics character, is now worth $70 and up on Amazon.com. Used. If you want a new one, that’ll set you back at least $120.

Lets hope this doesn’t give David Hasselhoff any more funny ideas.

Otherwise known as Nick Furry or Nick Purry, if you prefer. This savvy S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is dedicated to eradicating any and all rodent invasions of Earth. Director Purry would also like to speak with you about the Avengeprrrs Initiative. (Hint: You’re a shoe-in if you keep some catnip in your pocket.)

The Avengers, Redesigned as a Part of Japanese Folklore

by Zoe Chevat | 3:27 pm, August 31st, 2012

We here at The Mary Sue are all in favor of great tastes that taste great together. Who doesn’t like a crossover you can really sink your teeth into, especially when it comes to the well-worn territory of The Avengers? Fear not, comrades at arms. For those wishing this summer’s box-office bunker-buster had a little more samurai spirit amidst its sound and noise, the Internet has got you covered!

Artist Alex Mitchell, who has previously applied his knowledge of traditional Japanese yōkai, oni, arms, and armor to DC’s Justice League, here takes a more historical, but no less fantastical, approach to the current Avengers ensemble. Beyond the obvious appeal, there’s a carefully considered wealth of detail in these re-imaginings that compliments each character, allying them dutifully with Japanese cultural archetypes and real historical figures. Mitchell has even put thought into name translation, and a bit of alternative backstory for each. Now tell us this isn’t one anime-ification you would be thrilled to see.

David Hasselhoff Maintains he is the Best David Hasse – I Mean, the Best Nick Fury

by Susana Polo | 4:26 pm, May 25th, 2012

You may not remember, but in 1998 there was a little made for TV movie called Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., starring David Hasselhoff. And the Hoff says that not only is the version of the character in The Avengers less true to the original vision of Stan Lee, it was also stolen from him: he was promised after NF:AoS.H.I.E.L.D. that he’d be playing the character forever.

Careful, Mr. Hasselhoff. You’re starting to sound an awful lot like Reb Brown, who played Captain America in two ’70s made for TV movies (one of which was called Captain America II: Death Too Soon) but was better known for his starring role in Space Mutiny (as popularized by my favorite episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000) and got a bug up his butt after Captain America: The First Avenger came out. And worse than that: you risk the ire of Samuel L. M. F. Jackson. Says the Hoff:
