Super Super Bowl Ads

So one of the greatest parts of the Super Bowl is the ads and this year there was a big Geek element to the ads. There was a huge amount of movie trailers and of course they were all geared to everyones inner Geek. Thor, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Transformers darkside of the moon. and well more. Even the commercials for products got in on it as well. I have to say the lil Darth Vader ad for Volkswagen wins as the cutest commercial I have seen in ages. So I have to say I like how this years Super Bowl was not just for the Jocks this year.

Fantastic Four flop

As a comic reader i would have to say one of the biggest things I have read this week was the Fantastic Four issue where one of the famous four was to die (spoilers from here on in). Now anyone who has been reading FF know that this storyline has been going on for about a year now and I have to say the suspense was more than the book turned out to be. All this lead up, some great teaser marketing, The comic was sealed in a bag with a 3 symbol on it instead of the 4 and if you wanted to know what happened you had to buy it, so you open it and we get "Johnny's last stand". Yep that is what they called it, notice it wasn't "Johnny fights to the death" cause we don't see him down, we don't see him dead, we don't see pieces of his body being thrown around. He just disappears under a sea of bodies and that's it. Well we all know what that means (whisper) "he's not really dead" I know huh! wow who thought Marvel would do that, leave a back door in there for him to come back. Cause the only person that Marvel keeps dead is Uncle Ben, and heck he shows up often enough some how too.

So here is my prediction, in about 4 to 6 months some massive crisis will happen and the FF3 will have to go to the negative zone and there they will stumble across Johnny Chained up somewhere in a prison cell with no memory of who he is kind of looking like Namor the Submariner did when Johnny found him all bearded up. All in all i think it really weakened a great storyline with a wishy washy ending that you new wasn't true......Shame on you Marvel for making me buy that. Oh and one more thing DC Comics did the whole black bagged comic up better the first time round with the "Death of Superman" which surprise surprise didn't last long either.
