Friday Night Fights: Giant Illusion Punch

Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. I was home with what I’m hoping was a last strike by my cold. I’m done with being sick this year! But at least I got to watch the MST3K Turkey Day marathon on Pluto TV (because I didn’t know everyone was watching on YouTube). And I’ve got some punching for you.

Mysterio’s whole gimmick is that he uses illusions for evil, and somehow hasn’t been picked up to join VENOM. Curse of separate universes I guess. You may remember from Tuesday his plan to steal oil from squatters because that makes no legal sense whatsoever. Well, the man wears a fishbowl on his head. That can’t help the oxygen supply. The smart solution would be find the owners, work with them to have the squatters removed, work to excavate the oil, and share the profits. Greed is seldom smart.

Thanksgiving Special: This Is America Charlie Brown

Peanuts #0

This is Thanksgiving in the United States, where we celebrate the Pilgrims dangerous voyage to the new world, barely survive their first year, and thanks to the help of the natives (unaware of what their descendants would do) form a new life for ourselves and the beginning of a new nation. That and the aforementioned doctor visit and getting ready for festivities is why this is the only post tonight. Sorry, it wasn’t planned.

For this year I thought I would show off the history of Thanksgiving as told by the Peanuts gang. I’ve done this before but this time I have a working video embed to use. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans and I hope the rest of you have a good day as well.

Filler Video: 8-Bit Star Wars

Star Wars Special Edition adaptation

I had an article planned, but I also had a doctor’s appointment. Guess what won out? I’m still off the blood thinner, so that’s good. Still waiting on a full release though. So instead here’s a fun little video I stumbled across. It’s the entire Star Wars trilogy (the original) in a little over five minutes. And in 8 bits.
