The BEST Marvel Chris | Classic Debates

Estimated Reading Time: 4min

Alright, this has been going on for a while now… just how many people named “Chris” does Marvel want to hire? Let’s get some more so we can keep going on this train! In the meantime, let’s finally face the decision to see WHO is the BEST Marvel Chris…. Spoilers, it isn’t me (even though wouldn’t that be cool!)

Everyone is going to have a different view, and different reasons as to why they put their list the way they do. The reasons I have for who made it where in my list include the Character they play, how much I enjoyed their performance of said character, and the actor in general… so yeah, let’s do this! Winner is first, and they just keep going down the list – I should also mention that I like ALL of these actors, so nobody is a loser… they just didn’t come first. Okay, enough stalling – let’s go!

Chris Evans – The Human Torch

Captain America – the beacon for good old fashioned values… and a kick ass (language!) hero. I love Cap, he is one of my favourite heroes that Marvel did over the past 10+ years, along with Iron Man. Torch did a great job at being a nice guy who just happened to have strength to kick Americas…. butt. I could watch him all day, and he’ll always be on my left – sort of. If you count my DVD’s being on the left hand side of the TV.

Chris Pratt – Jurassic Park Dude

Star-Lord is an interesting one. He loves the 80s and Kevin Bacon because it’s pretty much the last memory of Earth that he has. That’s all good in my book, because not much else that has come out since is any good. But seriously, Jurassic is hilarious and plays the part well. He certainly is good at distracting those turd blossoms.

Chris Pine – King Of Genovia

Okay, I know, I know that TECHNICALLY Steve Trevor is not in the Marvel universe.. he’s DC with Wonder Woman. BUT, I think he deserves to be on this list… and not just because it was another Chris to add to the pile (though that was a consideration, I will happily admit). The other thing that sets apart his WW character is that he’s not the hero… he’s basically the damsel in distress, but we’re rolling with it anyway. I love Genovia, so he made the list and I won’t apologise! Besides, Steve Trevor can save today, so there you go.

Chris Hemsworth – Nerdy Guy?
(Is that what this character was supposed to be..?)

Thor ended up last on the list for a couple of reasons, but first let’s address the elephant in the room. I, an Australian, put the only Aussie last on my list. Yes. Yes I did. Anyway, even though I LOVED the third Thor film, the other two lean a little close into the whole little g god thing… and as a Christian, I don’t really dig it. So, even though the 3rd film WAS objectively funny, and Nerdy Guy is pretty good, he did end up last. I suppose the only thing for him to do is file an appeal, or he could always play “get help”.

Classic debate, so where do you rank the characters I mentioned (because let’s be real, ranking actual people isn’t particularly nice… so it’s all about the characters.. yup, that covers me). Do you agree, or not? Pop your order in the comments and tell me why!

Top 10 Female Villains

Love to hate, hate to love, or anywhere in between the female Villains of fiction are getting better and better as we go.. so let’s explore the best! 

Here’s my list of the ‘TOP 10’ Female Villains – I know I couldn’t possibly list ALL the good ones, but here are those that stick out to me (in no order):

Who is older in the MCU: Thor or Hela? In the first film, Odin refers to Thor as his 'first born', yet in Thor: Ragnarok, Hela talks of her fighting with Odin

Hela (Thor Ragnarok) – She has an actual backstory, and doesn’t fall into common stereotypes for female baddies.

Cruella DeVille (101 Dalmatians) – Truly bad to the bone (skinning puppies isn’t for the faint of heart), new movie gave her a bit of backstory but I don’t know if that translates to the OG Disney character – she was just plain evil!

Mother Gothel (Tangled) – Selfish, somewhat stereotypical but pretty smart and on the ball for most of her time on screen

Cruella's Emma Stone Says Disney Villain Ursula Deserves Her Own Movie - Variety

Ursula (The Little Mermaid) – True under the sea rage/earth scorned woman. I’m sure there’s a fun backstory there with King Triton too – lets hear it people.

Regena George (Mean Girls) – A bitch on wheels, nasty because she’s spoilt and very insecure, but has some redemptive qualities by the end of her story

>>>Get a copy of my ebook KIDNAPPED Entanglement >>>here

Watch The Emperor's New Groove Dailymotion | Outlet www.alucansa.com

Yzma (The Emperors New Groove) – An old woman who’s still kicking, and ready to kill something that she’s been wanting her whole life – what she thinks she deserve.

Azula (The Last Airbender) – Brutal, and afraid to knock out family members. Obsessed with winning, leading, and power

Regina Mills: B*tch Mayor of Storybrooke & Official 'Once Upon a Time' Punching Bag

Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time) – Solid backstory of betrayal and how she got there, not as stereotypical as some female villains, redemptive qualities through the series too

How would you build Shego from Kim possible in 5e? : r/WhatWouldYouBuild

Shego (Kim Possible) – A badass with glowing hands and dealing with Drakken… Enough said

Meryl Streep On Making The Devil Wears Prada: Playing Miranda Priestly Made Her “So Depressed” - TODAY

Miranda Preistly – Not truly a bad guy, but snarky and entitled enough to make it. Doesn’t care about others and just wants to power and prestige

Superpowers Anyone?

“To infinity, and beyond!”

“Holy guacamole, Batman!”

“I am Iron Man.”

Superheroes are IN right now. Whether you’re a Marvel movie fan, a DC TV show fan, or comic book fanatic – they are in style. They got a revamp, and I am in the category of ‘Fan’!

Superhero G GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

I love superhero movies, tv shows, and anything in between. In fact, if you’ve been keeping up with my posts and social media, you’d probably have seen a few posts over the years that confirm it.

One of the most popular questions that come out of discussing superheroes, is POWERS! What one would you want – if you could only have one? What would your superhero name be? Do you get a sidekick?

As I was writing my super spy series (Hannah Carmichael Chronicles), the thought came up again. Not because Hannah has superpowers, but because she has skills that inspired the question in my mind. She’s a SUPER spy, so why couldn’t I be a SUPER-HERO?

I need to give the question of What power some very series thought. So in the meantime, I want to know what superpower YOU would want? Flying, strength, and telekinesis are some of the most popular, but is there something else you’ve always wanted??
