In 2009 we got something on the big screen that fans had been waiting on for a long time, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Now, as a fan, I was excited to see that we were finally getting a live action G.I. Joe movie. But I had heard of some of the changes that were being made in the interest of wider appeal, and I was ok with that, I got it. But there were other changes that were made and additions and whatnot… and what we ended up with was not G.I. Joe. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – The G.I. Joe Movie We Deserve

Best Geeky Finds – Catch Up with a New Agent Carter Operation
Peggy Carter – she didn’t break many hearts, but definitely broke many legs.
Since the cancellation of Agent Carter on ABC (and its mysterious lack of availability on DVD), I have missed Peggy and her adventures, not to mention the show’s feminist approach to the Marvel Universe and the 1940s.

Miss Dawn’s Musings – Acceptance and Inclusivity
There has been a lot of negativity lately, in the world in general and in the geek realm more specifically. The hate, the sexism, the racism, the homophobia… you can’t avoid seeing it or hearing about it. But in most cases (thankfully) it’s a vocal minority creating these issues. The majority of the geek world is rather accepting, open-minded and inclusive. And the best place to experience that is at cons when you’re surrounded by your tribe.
