Every time I eat whole fish I fear for days that I have swallowed a bone. Perhaps my abdomen is absolutely lousy with them, I would have no idea. Thanks for coming and remember to take off your shoes before coming into the living room, I'm quite fond of the carpet.

The nerdiest thing I have ever written. Run away while you can.

Marvel 30 Day Minute Challenge

Day #1: Your favorite character
Dr. Victor Von Motherfucking Doom
So, on the day the Fantastic Four got their powers, some quantum combobulator thingamawhirl blew up and left a little scratch on his face. Did he put on a band-aid on it? Hell no. He went off into the Himalayas and forged himself a sweet-ass mask. Most people would wait for it to cool off or at least blow on it a few times. Most people aren't Doctor Fucking Doom. He put that baby on straight out of the oven and didn't even whine about it or anything. Now he has a badass suit of armor, a trove of magical artifacts, his own country, hundreds of robot duplicates with the power to level cities and can resist mind control just because. Take that, Richards.

Day #2: Your favorite villain
STILT-MAN!!!
Now, I know you're probably thinking "Well, Doctor Doom is a villain." But you are also  wrong, very wrong. A.) He's too cool to be evil. B.) He is way too good at lounging to be evil. Now, Stiltman is a guy who decided the easiest way to rob banks was to get REALLY tall. That's just plain vile. Think about how he makes short people feel. Plain rotten, that's how.

Day #3: Your favorite diva
That white streak is one of the most beautiful things ever put to paper.

Day #4: Your favorite royal
He led a nation of Inhuman super-powered country-shattering beings without speaking a single word. I can't even order a burger without yammering for a solid minute and a half. Props to this guy.
Day #5: Your favorite team
Bullseye AND Ares. Man, if I was in better shape and could commit to anything longer than a  thirty  minute blog post, I'd so be cosplaying as those guys every goddamn day.
Day #6: Your favorite organization
Who designed these outfits? It looks like someone made their beekeeper suit while watching marathons of "What Not to Wear". That's IDGAF at it's prime. 
How few fucks do they give, do you ask? Well, that's their leader. For real.
Day #7: Your favorite creature
The Marvel Universe has RAPTORS. What else would I pick?
Day #8: Your favorite movie
I guess it's not technically Marvel, but it doesn't contradict canon, so I'm keeping it, goddammit.
Day #9: Your favorite classic character
He's the lord of the fucking seas. Which means he can fly. Confusing? Yes. Awesome? Hell yes.  Try to see past the ridiculous costume, oh wait, you probably didn't notice it because you were busy staring at those awesome fucking abs. Worry not, I was too.
Day #10: Your favorite costume
One of the three things that can make me giggle. Please get Kristen Schaal to play her. Like, now.
Day #11: Your favorite power
This articulate fellow is the Walrus. I'll let Wikipedia do the rest: "Enhanced strength and resistance to injury, good at crossword puzzles, ability to distract enemies by making them laugh hysterically." I guess that's technically two but you try picking between those. You'll go mad.
Day #12: Your favorite weapon
GIGANTIC FUCKING STILTS! HE GETS SO TALL! LOOK AT THAT SHIT!
Day #13: Your least favorite character
"Hey guys, let's make this character. He'll be like the Hulk, but you know, red!" "Alright, but only if we can stretch his storyline out for a year and light him on fire." "Deal."
Day #14: Your favorite romance
Ah, what I'd give to be young again.
Day #15: The best rivalry
Who cares if it's silly that a trained marine with full body armor and an arsenal that could fill Warren Buffet's garage can't take out a blind guy in tights? Their rivalry RULES.
Day #16: The most powerful character
Stan Lee's derives his powers from a steady intake of fiber, a daily morning walk and terrifying levels of senility.
Day #17: Your favorite god
He has a  gun. He has super-strength, is damn-near indestructible, and still is pragmatic enough to own a gun. I  nominate him as the new NRA spokesperson.
Day #18: Your favorite comic to screen character adaptation
Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., JEFF BRIDGES, oh yeah, the robots were sweet too.
Day #19: Your least favorite comic to screen character adaptation
Evanescence. Fucking Evanescence. Why? WHY?!
Day #20: Your best casting of a character (if you were casting)
SPIDERMAN! SPIDERMAAAAN!
Day #21: The most memorable death
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Day #22: Your favorite universe/dimension
Would've said Ultimate, and then this bullshit happens. Jeph Loeb should be eaten from the inside out by an angry colony of wasps. Over and over and over. 
Day #23: The best form of transportation
It gets great gas mileage.
Day #24: Your favorite cartoon adaptation
God, the only way I could enjoy this more is if I was anywhere near the age for the target demographic.
Day #25: Your favorite video game
You lose your right to speak if you ever, for any reason , play as Sentry. Fact.
Day #26: Your favorite elementalist
Who else? That human torch asshole? Glad they killed that sucker. If only he could stay dead.
Day #27: Your favorite non-human race
Still an obvious pick.
Day #28: Your favorite comic time period
Back when Liefield was still top dog. Modern artists are all about "rational anatomy" and "detailed line work". Liefield understood what sold comics, Captain America with a huge rack.
Day #29: Your favorite series you would suggest to read
Even if he's a loony in real life, Frank Miller's Daredevil was pret-ty damn sweet.
Day #30: Your favorite Marvel Event
Was considering "Archie Meets the Punisher" but I'm sure you all already own that. All of you that matter, that is.
