Avengers Assemble! I'm back!



Being a comic book fan all my life, I was always disappointed with the movie renditions of my fav. superhero. Although we cannot blame the limited technology they had in the past, a comic book hero deserves better treatment. Don't get me started about the Transformers movies by Michael Bay, horrendous. Some may argue that Spiderman and Fantastic Four were good, I don't dispute this but they weren't GREAT were they? Some scenes maybe....X-men included but the one that really had my gears grinding was the Avengers.

Have you seen it? Really seen it? It's awesome on many levels. First the actors, I like everyone except Fury who BTW should be white. I am not a racist but FOLLOW the comic book...SHEESSH.. But that's just a small matter. Samuel L. Jackson is in too many of my fav. movies.. I tend to get dizzy. In StarWars he is Master Windu and then in another show he's ...... LOL. Next, there's Loki. He has charisma, charm and a decadent and devilish attitude. Unlike the Joker (Heath Ledger) He exudes class and evilness without the clown make-up.

The banter, what you would call chit-chat was very amusing among our heroes. It can be as long as Loki's speech or as short as Hulk's favourite two words "Hulk Smash". Then we have the Widow who's looks is matched by her skill in interrogation. Hawkeye had my vote for my latest favourite superhero, loved his arrows. Finally the CGI, what can I say but just wow, wow and wow! We had a whale like bio-mechanical troop carrier coming out of the dimensional hole only to be met by a knuckle sandwich from our green skinned gamma giant! Fantastic!

I don't know about you. I can't wait for more.




I've drawn some comics as a tribute to my favourite superheroes. Have a laugh, the are Malaysian in context, what-lah is the equivalent of "Really? You've got to be kidding!" Enjoy.
