Is Loki Really So Evil?

I watched The Avengers again the other night and there are a few things I can't stop thinking about.  First off, did you notice how dreadfully sick and weak Loki is?  When Loki first comes through the portal he looks like he's going to keel over any second and almost does more than once.  Why wasn't that explained?  Secondly, when Natasha(?) said that Loki killed 80 people in two days?  What the hell?  Loki wasn't the one who collapsed the building, it was Fury!  I can't help but feel that Loki is not as evil as everyone seems to think.  Even Thor made that comment, "who controls the would be king?". If the glowstick of destiny affected the avengers that much in five minutes of being around it what could it have been doing to Loki?  Plus, Loki has his own magic.  Personally, I think he have up way to easily after the hulk smashed him around, it reminds me too much of Natasha's "cranial recalibration" of the Hawk.  One more thing, when Thor complained that Loki was attacking them due to "imagined slights"; in what way were they imagined?  Loki was lied to his whole life (thousands of years), betrayed when he became king, and from what I saw in the Thor movie no one liked him all that much.  It was always Thor this and Thor that.  They went so far as to muzzle him like a rabid dog at the end of the movie.  Even the worst criminals have the right to defend themselves. 

Anyways, it's something to think about at least.

Green Lantern - Movie Reiew

I don't know what all the bad publicity has been about, Green Lantern wasn't too shabby.   In fact, I found it quite amusing.  A pick-me-up type of film.  I only reason I can think of is that people were in love with the comics and found the movie paled in comparison.  I've never been one for comics though.  Personally, whatever I read/see first is always my favorite.  I think it's because I get a certain feel for the characters and the idea of them in my mind is shattered when I met their counterparts.

One more thing, Green Lantern is not weak against the color yellow!  That's like saying fire is weak against water because it's blue (bad analogy I know, but I can't think of a better one at the moment).

What I didn't get was how calmly Hal reacted to learning about aliens.  Most people, I expect, would freak out.  But, he took it in stride.  Almost like it was an everyday occurrence.  Honestly though, I think I would react the same.  I mean come on, thinking we are the only ones in the universe is just arrogant.

Outlander Sketch Update

I've been working on the sketch a little more but am stalling because of the feet.  There are so many options.  What would look most natural paws or clawed hands?  I'm thinking a mix of the two.

Outlander Sketch

My brother asked me to draw the alien from Outlander a few days ago but with a more realistic body structure.  I don't normally draw entire bodies, human or animal.  Sure I can draw them sitting down, in an anime style but I've never done something like this.  So far I'm happy with how its turning out.

Movie Talk

There are so many good movies out there that I've never seen or heard of before.  Outlander is one such movie that I recently stumbled across.


Though this movie is predictable it does not disappoint and easily manages to keep you glued to your screen from start to finish.

Movie Review - Prometheus

Watched Prometheus today.  Was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.  Plus, my two favorite characters survived.  In so many movies and TV shows they don't.  It gets depressing after a while.

I'd give it a 8 out of 10 or maybe a 7.  I'm not really a fan of space/alien movies in general so I'm not sure how a die hard "aliens are out there" fan would like it.  That's not to say that I don't believe that aliens are out  there.  After all, the other option is to believe that we are alone in the universe.

One note about Prometheus, What's with telling David the he was made because we could make him?  What kind of answer was that?  I'd prefer to think that we make robots out of curiosity.  In order to find out what is a soul.  What makes us human?
