Things We Saw Today: Baby Avengers

Aren’t they the cutest little super-powered little weebles you ever did see? By Skottie Young. (via Geek Tyrant)

Kelly Thompson (“She Has No Head!”) is back after “breaking the internet” with a list of comics that are, indeed, worth your time. (via Comic Book Resources)

Steven Wildish has this excellent alphabetical guide to horror movies through the decades, but I’m mostly just happy to see Ash wielding a chainsaw on anything. (via Geek Tyrant)

People are already cosplaying Merida from Pixar‘s Brave, and we’re okay with that. Check out the download-disabled pics on Flickr.

Quoth Wil Wheaton: “I don’t have to read ‘Wesley Crusher, Teenage Fuck Machine’, Dottie. I lived it…. well, except for the fuck machine part.” You, however, can read it and buy it at Amazon. (via Regretsy)

Are writers going about “strong female characters” all wrong? Charlie Jane Anders breaks it down at io9

Here is a TARDIS in a bottle, since you’ve been looking for one. (via Neatorama)

And here is Godzilla, carrying a candelabra. (via Dangerous Minds)

Tim Berry, the president of Palo Alto Software and father of four daughters, has some issues about technology companies designing products to be specifically for women rather than trusting them with “man things.” (Not his quote, by the way.) (via The Huffington Post)

You know, at the end of the day, a girl just wants to curl up on a snuggly companion cube and take a nap. At Fashionably Geek, where there is also a Portal 2-themed music video.

I wish I was curled up on that Companion Beanbag. It’s so awesome.

Good round up, but I don’t understand why the Tim Berry article is on here. The original article he’s picking apart is much more TMS’ speed, I thought. The thing is, maybe things shouldn’t be gender neutral. It’s insulting to suggest that just because something is designed for women in particular, to the general exclusion of men, that it’s somehow dumbed down or LESS. The fact of the matter is that most things that people think are “gender neutral” are really “default male”.

Look, design smart products. Work on making them gender neutral (read: not default male), but don’t also deny that sometimes women have different needs than men, and sometimes there’s crossover appeal. The only thing insulting about marketing to women is that marketers feel like it needs to be simplified and pink. Everyone can do better than that.

My favorite part of the AvX image is Emma Frost poking Daredevil in the eye. Oh, and Cyclops’s MEGA-HUEG visor.

Even though I haven’t played Portal yet, that companion cube does look really comfy!

I enjoy how the Tardis-in-a-jar is sitting on top of a set of the first four A Song of Ice and Fire books.
