MARVEL VS DC CROSSOVER

Hello! So for today’s post, I’m venturing into the fun yet often controversial world of Marvel VS DC. I’ll be putting one Marvel character and one DC character together for my ideal crossover. These are things I’d like to see happen in comic books, TV series or films, even though perhaps they’re all 99% unlikely. Sigh. 

 

1. Harley Quinn VS Black Widow

Just imagine Scarlett Johansson dealing with Harley’s mischievously evil acts. She’s so done. She can’t even right now. Perhaps a fight worth seeing. Also, how cool would it be to see Margot Robbie’s Harley face up to Johansson’s badass Natasha. I actually cannot decide who would have the utmost dominance in this fight, however I must admit the winner would most likely be Black Widow. 

2. Jubilee VS Robin

The battle of the… cute? I kid, Jubilee is badass and Robin is rather epic in fine detail (Nightwing tho, but I couldn’t put Jubilee against Nightwing, heck no). While Robin is pretty darn cool, even for a brightly coloured sidekick, Jubilee would storm this battle. You go Jubilee. Do yo’ thang.

3. Ms. Marvel VS Wonder Woman

The battle of the powerhouses, am I right or am I right? While it’s pretty darn obvious Wonder Woman would annihilate, Ms. Marvel would put up a good fight. I could perhaps see them both conflicting, and working together.

4. Squirrel Girl (no seriously) VS Aquaman (I’m being serious)

While Aquaman is talking to some fish and being a general underrated epic hero, Squirrel Girl is talking to squirrels whilst defeating Thanos, Deadpool and Wolverine. Squirrel Girl would destroy Aquaman, slay Squirrel Girl slay. Also, they’re both pretty epic, and totally just cool heroes despite what readers and those occasional nasty comic book fans might say.

5. Storm VS Poison Ivy

A slightly weird one, on the basis that they’re so different that it perhaps sheds light on a relatively frustrating struggle for both Storm and Poison Ivy. While I would say Storm would win this fight, Poison Ivy would put up a good fight and really challenge the X-Men front runner. Imagine all the plants and lightning, oh the cinematography is begging for it.

6. The Flash VS Quicksilver (MCU) VS Quicksilver (Fox)

A three way fight, I would perhaps assume Quicksilver of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be the first to go, quickly followed by Quicksilver of Fox’s X-Men franchise, leaving The Flash victorious, being a generally better superhero of the two. All that speed tho. It’s too much.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll be posting a follow up to this post in a month or so with my ideal Marvel & DC team-ups. Next week expect a post about YouTube, weighing up the pros and cons, so be sure to check in for that post. It’s a tad interesting. 

Bye for now.

These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things

*goes off singing Sound of Music*

HELLO THERE! Hola, Bonjour, hello in all the languages.

In this post I’ll be talking about some of my favourite things. Hurrah!

Excuse the awkwardness. 

I’ve got some of my favourites on the About Me page (check it out), but they’re a bit exhaustive and long, so I thought I’d write about my favourites on a post with some extras as well. 

1. Favourite TV Show

It has to be Doctor Who, I mean, how brilliant is the show? 51 years of pure gold. I can’t contain my excitement. My general excitement. I just love that show. 

“But it’s just a kid’s show!” 

No no no no no, it’s not. It’s not just a programme for children, it’s a universal programme targeted for all ages. Do you really think they would kill off companions and have terrifying aliens like the Weeping Angels if it was merely a children’s show. Nope. You go Doctor Who, you go do your thing. I JUST REALLY LOVE DOCTOR WHO. But what is it about Doctor Who? It’s the story, a time lord that saves planets for no reason but because he wants to, companions that remind you that everybody is important, even if they don’t believe it (Donna Noble, Rose Tyler). The fairytale entwined in a sci-fi show, what’s not to love?

Favourite Doctor: Matt Smith (followed by Peter Davison)

Favourite Companion: Clara Oswald (followed by Jo Grant and Martha Jones)

p.s. I’m still mourning the loss of Osgood, 11th Doctor and Amy and Rory

2. Favourite Film

The Hours, featuring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, and Julianne Moore. The stories of Virginia Woolf (also my favourite author), Laura Brown and Clarissa Vaughan play throughout the film, and come together in a beautiful and moving way towards the end of the film, it’s kind of like Love Actually, but better and more intense. Here’s the trailer: 

3. Favourite Superheroes

So many to choose from! For me, it’s The Flash which is ironic because any form of physical activity (running) is something I tend to stay away from, although I am quite fond of going on night time walks. The Flash is closely followed by Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), Captain America, Spiderman and Scarlet Witch. All of which are set to appear on screen in the next couple of years *fanboy overload*. 

4. Favourite Supervillains

HARLEY QUINN HARLEY QUINN HARLEY QUINN NEBULA HARLEY QUINN THANOS HARLEY QUINN LOKI POISON IVY HARLEY QUINN HAIL HYDRA

5. Favourite Hero

This category is a bit loose, with some ‘agents’ from Marvel, as well as other forms of media. My favourite hero is probably Black Widow, the only reason I didn’t put her in ‘favourite superhero’ is because I don’t really see her as a superhero. I also love James Bond, Katniss Everdeen, Finnick Odair, Hermione and Ron, Hans Solo, Hawkeye, and John McClane. 

6. Favourite Musician

Lorde. Florence + the Machine. Bombay Bicycle Club. HAIM. Foals. Marina and the Diamonds. Lana Del Rey. Josh Record. Ellie Goulding. Fall Out Boy. Hillsong Young & Free (and Hillsong United). Hurts. The Killers. London Grammar. Smallpools. The Royal Concept. Saint Raymond.

BUT

LORDE LORDE LORDE LORDE LORDE. Here’s my favourite Lorde song. 

7. Favourite Musical

I’m a self confessed musical fanboy. I accept that. My favourite has to be Les Misérables, followed by Rent, The Lion King, and Wicked. I know all the words to Les Mis, and I often find myself humming along to One Day More or Do You Hear the People Sing, daily. If anything happens at sixth form that isn’t good, or is a disadvantage for the students, I’m usually the first to suggest we march through the building singing Do You Hear the People Sing. I have no shame. My school performed it when I was in Year 7 and I had a 2 line solo, I’m basically a professional.

(they lowered my mic so I lost my solo as everyone sang over it, so I only really had a microphone)

8. Favourite Song
Surprisingly, it’s not a Lorde song. It’s a HAIM song, Let Me Go. The live performances of this song complete my life, no really, they do. Danielle, Alana and Este are brilliant, just brilliant. Some of my other favourite songs are Florence + the Machine’s Never Let Me Go, Philip Philips’ Gone Gone Gone, Lykke Li’s No Rest For The Wicked, The Killers’ The Way It Was, Bombay Bicycle Club’s Carry Me and Ellie Goulding’s Explosions.

My favourite colour – Blue 

My favourite season – Winter

My favourite actor – Matt Smith

My favourite actress – Meryl Streep

My favourite comedians – Jon Richardson, Sarah Millican, and Jimmy Carr.

My favourite cartoon – Adventure Time/Spongebob

That’s all.

Bye for now!
