geeky link-bump time!

Attention X-Men fans, former X-Men fans, and people who don't consider themselves fans per se but are reasonably familiar with the stories: watch X-Men: Phoenix Season, a satirical little flash animation that I, for one, really like. Their doorbell is awesome, and all the gestures are done very well even though only The Blob has arms. Or a mouth.

And for the Star Trek fans in the audience, there's an extremely well-edited fake trailer for STAR TREK XI: THE WRATH OF KIRK here. But if the idea of the original crew waging war against the ST:TNG crew upsets you, perhaps give it a miss.

More geekery as it happens!

Have you see Wogoat's other X-Men/Marvel parodies? They're all brilliant! I also love the Blob's previous appearance in "Marvel Villains Assemble": "I feel pretty."

One reason I particularly find PHOENIX SEASON so great is because it reminded me of a joke regarding the animated 90's X-Men TV show: every single episode ended one of two ways-- someone shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" or someone shouting "JEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAN!!!"

But explain to me the doorbell joke?

I haven't, but on your recommendation, I will go look. They kinda remind me of Lore's flash animations...

XD I remember that joke! It's funny because it's so very close to true.

The doorbell plays music from the 80s X-Men cartoon theme. (Watch the theme subtitled in Chinese) here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgFn-plCgbI) and see additional footage from the show in a music video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81rfqqDK9rk&mode=related&search=), if you like. :3 )

Really, all of his Marvel (and his one DC) cartoons are just pure brilliance. You have to let me know what you think.

Oh my GOD, so it does. See, I never saw that cartoon back in the day (although I LOVED the subsequent arcade game... to this day, I love to quote lines like "NOTHING MOVES THE BLOB!" and "WEN-DI-GO!!!!!"
