Sporadic Ramblings and Nerdery

Yet another retelling that deviates so much from the mythology it should’ve just been an original story lol

This is Delphyne Gorgon.

She is from Marvel comics. She was created in 2008, first appearing in Incredible Hercules as a love interest for his sidekick, Amadeus Cho (future Hulk and self-proclaimed 7th smartest person on the planet).

Yes, she is a goth snake lady with a short skirt and long socks. She us also an Amazon. She is very much a wish-fulfillment fantasy for young men. Thankfully, as written by Greg Pak, she is a fully fleshed-out character. She has her own goals and aspirations, some of which run counter to what her love interest wants. In big ways.

Anyway, even this basic design has more character and life to it than that flat mess.

I mean, can that "Medusa" even compare to DEATH SCRUNCHIE!?

I didn't think so.

Plus, this gal punched Athena in the face and actually killed her!

(To end the Gorgon curse)

(Athena got better)

Anyway, the point is, even a fetishized version of that outfit from 20 years ago manages to outdo that bland design!

This will be interesting...

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm

Paleopureza: a series of illustrations with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals living around some places in my hometown, Seville. 

I wish the idea of this came up more often, I love all the young heroes being in contact with each other. But also there's no way in hell Nico is actually on there, she dont gaf about any of them

But she never shied away from helping others or being social.

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, as the title says, attempts to tell the story of the renowned chef that travelled the world and was followed by many until his tragic suicide put an end to a wonderous career. The mystery of his suicide lies in the oxymoron of a man that was travelling around the globe to try and discover himself. Of a man that in all the countries he went, everyone knew, but himself felt he had no one in the world. The documentary has the privilege of having access to endless video material since Anthony's life was documented almost daily on camera, but it doesn't shy away from using AI to synthesize a few new lines of narration by the diseased protagonist, reading out letters he once wrote, that shed light to what happened later on. I personally liked Bourdain greatly and was shocked to find out he ended his life. The film does give insights into his persona, with intimate interviews by his closest friends, associates and ex-wife. And it's very sad to see a man so successful strangle so hard with his demons and never be able to find peace, even in the most beautiful and remote places of the world.
