A nerd wife review: Guardians of the Galaxy is best movie ever…. literally (your welcome Drax)

Review by GlycoNerd

I’ve been pretty excited to see this movie since I first saw the trailer. I knew it would be pretty good and funny but man, did they blow my expectations out of the water! Not only was there a good story, the movie was funny and there were a couple of times when it was just completely heart wrenching and I love when movies can just pull you in and make you empathize with all the characters. Hell one of the main characters is a walking tree with the IQ of a goldfish and he was freakin awesome. I loved him. Even though all he said through the movie is “I am Groot”(To the right you will see his “Did I do good” face!) he was an awesome piece. He was the muscle for Rocket but at the same time he was a softie. Like toward the end, when he incased everyone to save them, he surrounded his friends and shut them off from the impending doom going on around them and lit it up with those… idk like little firefly things and it was just one of those scenes that gave you the feels and that’s hard to do with a character like a walking tree.

Drax looked pretty awesome. I loved how they played him. He was a brute very serious but still made it humorous. Like he takes everything so literal and Rocket and Star lord keep poking at him.  One of my favorite quotes was when they were making fun of Drax using metaphors he didn’t understand and Rocket said “Don’t bother metaphors go right over his head” and Drax replies, “Nothing goes over my head!… My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

Also, the end of the movie (don’t worry, no spoilers) was amazing! The graphics were great, the story made sense, and I was drawn to the edge of my seat wanting more. I loved the little dance Star Lord did in front of Ronan  lol

Ronan says, “What are you doing?” Star Lord replied, “I’m distracting you, you big turd blossom!” (That is the turd blossom to the left)  I love Star Lord haha. Also, one thing I didn’t expect thought was I thought the Collector would have had a little bit more screen time than he did. I mean, what they had done worked just fine I just thought he was going to be a much bigger part I guess… he’s just so strange I would have liked to know a little more about him.

Anyway, moral of this review….. GO SEE THE MOVIE! ^.^ I can’t wait to go see it again. They did an awesome job. Thanks again for checking out my review. Till next time, stay sweet! –GlycoNerd

Sugar³ : Welcome!

Hey Guys! This is GlycoNerd with Projects Playground and I’m starting a weekly segment just about three random/nerdy things that catch my attention. I work, go to school, play mom and wife, run a doll website, make cosplays, go to conventions and now help write a blog! I’m superwoman right? No, seriously… have you ever seen us together? I’m just saying it’s a possibility… just kidding. Or am I? Ha! Anyway, here are our topics for this week. Hope you enjoy!

The Beginning of a New Era: More Female Superheroes

As I’m sure you’ve heard, Marvel Comics has made some drastic changes to some of their most iconic characters in history; one of these being the fall of the original Thor. Marvel has yet released what makes Thor unworthy but they have posted a picture of what unworthy Thor looks like. He looks beat down; rugged torn clothes and you’ll notice he’s not carrying his hammer, Mjolnir. Most of us know that Thor’s hammer holds all the power of Thor. It is not necessarily the person, so of course if he is unworthy of wielding it he loses most of his power. Sure his battle axe can do some damage and he can still fight off Gods but he is unable to use the weather to his advantage, create force fields and create blasts of energy.

So if Thor is no longer Thor, who will be the new Thor? Good question. Marvel has release the news that the new Thor will be a female but no one really knows where she comes from or who she is. Is she someone we’ve met before in older comics? Also, Ryan Penagos, executive editor, makes it very clear that this is not a Lady Thor or a Female Thor but that she IS Thor! I think it’s pretty cool. Having more female characters opens the market a little bit more for female readers but when Marvel was asked why they chose a woman to be the new Thor they responded with this, “It’s not about filling a certain quota. It’s about providing a shot in the arm to the Thor titles definitely, but it’s something that’s a natural part of where this story and the Thor title is going.” Will Moss, Marvel Comics Editor. So, that’s not really what they are doing but still it’s going to be a great idea!

Fashion Trends Gone Horribly Wrong!

Last but not least, I saw a few things out today while I was walking around the mall with my husband and holy moly people! There is some crazy stuff out there. Now, by no means do I know fashion but I know when stuff just isn’t right! Like, I’ve seen that overalls were making some sort of comeback or whatever but overall sweats?! Seriously? Who thinks this crap up? Look at this! —–>

 

 

Oh, and let’s not forget about the adult size onesie body suit… This is just ridiculous come on now? Could you imagine going on a hot date and your man trying to tug up on your shirt and you have to be like hold on let me unbutton my crotch first!
