I have decided that I am quite comfortable with missing the last two seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because it's really not a well written show. Much too much exposition but this how every good comic book is written. So I am confused. Maybe the stuff that doesn't quite work is deliberate. But I am digging all this Ghost Rider stuff because it's very well done and stars my boy, Gabriel Luna. He of course of the GREAT, GREAT, show MATADOR!! I know there has to be SOMEONE out there who has seen Matador. I know I just didn't make it up in my mind. Have I ever mentioned this show before? If not you really need to watch it. ONE season of 13 episodes of greatness with the brilliant Alfred Molina. Watch this clip from late in the show and tell me you don't want to see more.
But Luna does a cool Ghost Rider that sticks pretty close to the myth even though it's Robbie Reyes holding the Spirit of Vengeance inside him and not Johnny Blaze but Johnny Blaze does make an appearance. Luna's Ghost Rider is a badass and comes out at just the right time, like when the team needs to escape from a group of prisoners out of their cells or needs to kill an evil group of scientist ghosts (I shit you not!). It's all so goofy but Luna plays the high concepts better than any actor out there and he generates the right tone for the character that doesn't pull back. I can see the ending coming from around the block but it's been a fun ride.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
