01. Think of the first word that comes to mind when you think of me.
02. Go to Google Images and search for that word.
03. Reply to this post with one of the pictures on the first page of results.
04. Put this in your own journal so that I can do the same (if you want).
Mmm, fanservice. Naked waterfall jumps FTW! Just a pity we didn't get to see Agent Zero with his shirt off. And they actually managed to make Gambit and his l33t Colossal Showoff skillz be cool, and gave him a vaguely sensible accent, which is more than the comics ever managed.
Terrible waste of a perfectly good Dominic Monaghan, mind you. Does this mean that we are getting the crashtastic joy of a Cable and Deadpool movie after all? Unexpected Patrick Stewart FTW also.
Points for attempting to subvert the Women in Refrigerators trope. Points subtracted for failing and playing it straight after all. Just once, it'd be nice to see a superhero's girlfriend respond to being kidnapped and menaced by a supervillain by developing her own superpowers and kicking his arse. Ah well.
Incidentally, does anyone know if John Wraith and Agent Zero were made up out of whole cloth for the movie, or if they're just really obscure characters in the comics? Also, Emma Silverfox - d'you reckon she's an alternative Emma Frost, or what?
So... yeah. Very silly, but I rather enjoyed it.
