tsaiko | When puns go bad

Tonight was Netflix night. The movie? Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage. People who have seen it: you may start laughing now. People who haven't seen it: run far, far away. It is a typical Marvel based movie. No, not like Spiderman. No, not like X-men. That was the exception to the Marvel based movie. You ever hear of the Captain America movie? No? What about the other three versions of it? I'm betting no on those as well. That's what Marvel movies were up until Spiderman and X-Men hit it big (and I hear "Daredevil," "Hulk," and "The Fantastic Four" all lived up to that fine tradition of steaming piles of poo).

The reason I bring this up is not to trash Ghost Rider. Really, nothing I say could compare to horrible reality (with special effects and big name actors... that don't actually act... er...). The reason I bring it up is that

miome and I comic fans. So the movie inspired us to talk comics while making dinner.

Miome: I still can't believe that Marvel came out and said that Mystique and Destiny were lovers.
Tsaiko: I can. It wasn't like it was a surprise.
Miome: You are right. They did own a house in Mississippi and raise Rogue together.
Tsaiko: Can't get more obvious than that.
Miome: Though Destiny was always Destiny and Mystique was the only one Rogue called "Mom."
Tsaiko: Well, obviously. Otherwise she'd be Destiny's Child.
Miome: ... I hate you so much right now.
Tsaiko: I love you too. ^^
