This was intended to be my Defenders dance-party/fandom-recruitment vid at last spring's fan con in Seattle. You know what didn't work out about that? *waves hand vaguely at world* EVERYTHING.

I stopped working on it when everything went to hell in March, then ended up slamming out a version of it for the Con-Solation vid party on Discord, but was ( Read more... )

We haven't checked in with the mini-Defenders on the shelf above my desk lately. Let's see what they're up to.

Yes, this is TOTALLY what I should be doing with the rest of my evening.

The Defenders action figures have now taken over the entire shelf above my desk, and I've been decking their tiny halls for Christmas ( Read more... )

Back when I was in anime fandom (lo these many years ago) I was kinda into buying action figures. I lost interest for a long while, except for occasionally buying one that I just couldn't say no to (like the Misty one which you'll see below). But I got back into it in a major way with the Defenders ones. I couldn't help myself. THEY'RE SO CUTE. ♥ ( Read more... )

Misty! She was one of my favorite minor Marvel characters back in the day. I have an action figure of her that I got in the early 2000s, in her red comics outfit. I was so worried about not liking the live-action version of her, and then I LOVED her; Simone Messick is the perfect Misty Knight. Making this vid made me heartbroken all over again ( Read more... )

I finished Iron Fist season 2 yesterday, and that was AMAZING. That was easily one of my favorite show finales ever. If they get a season 3 I will be delighted, but if it ends there, it's a perfect, beautiful ending and there is nothing else I want out of life. I LOVE MY RIDICULOUS KUNG FU SOAP OPERA and I plan to write a proper rec post soon ( Read more... )

The Netflix Defenders universe continues to be an absolute delight for me. I finished Defenders day before yesterday, which I loved - although I had somehow osmosed that it was 10 episodes, not 8, so as it got into the 8th episode I was thinking "wow, they're wrapping this up awfully fast, are they really going to have 2 episodes of aftermath?" No ( Read more... )

So I'm watching Defenders and ...

( Not really a spoiler? I'm only a little more than one episode in. )

I think it's interesting what hooks people on a show and what doesn't. I'm watching Luke Cage now (I'd saved that one for last because I knew Orion wanted to see it, but he's never gotten around to it, so you snooze, you lose, Orion XD). But as it turns out, my read on this show was pretty accurate: it's an Orion show, not a
