If Movie Characters Had Poor Eyesight – Part I

If Movie Characters Had Poor Eyesight – Part I
I guess the message is that we should not take our sight for granted. This is the first part of a series of comics by Visian ICL and illustrator Wren McDonald. I’m really glad that Luke had great sight. Then again, he did have the force.

It can be easy to take sight for granted – despite the science of sight being extraordinarily remarkable. In movies, for example, heroes and villains are usually blessed with extremely keen eyesight. This got us thinking: just what would it be like if move characters had poor eyesight, and how would this affect the famous scenes we’ve come to know and love?

Batman v Superman – 1990s Style

Batman v Superman - 1990s Style
1990s superhero films were mostly bad. Sure you had Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, but we also had horrible shows like Lois and Clark: the Adventures of Superman. That was such a waste of air time. So, what would Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman have looked like in the 90s? YouTuber Frank Ireland has the answers with a concept trailer of what Batman v Superman and the DCEU might have looked like if they had existed in the 1990s. It’s bad. It’s weird. John Cusack as Superman, Bruce Willis as Batman. It’s not dark and brooding. It is actually bright and silly. Which is something that the modern version could have used quite frankly.

If DC Comics Published Marvel Characters in the 1960s

If DC Comics Published Marvel Characters in the 1960s
Check out these fun comic book covers from artist Kerry Callen (part 1 and part 2) that imagine what it would have been like if DC Comics published Marvel characters in the 1960s. These are some weird covers, but I love them. There is an overweight Spider-Man, Captain America eating his shield, Iron Fist and Power Man, and some fun versions of Ghost Rider too. A great “What If…” art series.

These 30th Anniversary Star Trek: The Next Generation Posters Have An All-Star Cast

These 30th Anniversary Star Trek The Next Generation Posters Have An All-Star Cast
Last year, Star Trek turned 50, not that they did anything special to celebrate. Well, this September, The Next Generation will turn 30. And to celebrate this milestone, artist Dusty Abell has created two very cool posters packed full of ships, characters, and more. Can you even spot all of the characters in these posters? It might take you all day. The two posters are divided into good guys and villains. So one has the Enterprise crew and the other has Romulans, Borg, and Klingons, plus many other bad guys. These are a lot of fun. This limited edition poster set can be found at Roddenberry.com. I’ll be busy looking at these for the rest of the day.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Recreated Using An Apple II

Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer Recreated Using An Apple II
The Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer is mysterious and intense. How can you possibly make it better? By going retro of course. New York City-based artist Wahyu Ichwandardi recreated the first teaser trailer shot for shot using a 33-year-old Apple II computer and an old KoalaPad+ on which he drew every frame. He saved the collection of 288 images onto 48 individual floppy disks, then transferred them over to a more modern setup, putting the pictures together, and setting them to the trailer’s audio track. The result of all this hard work is very cool. Enjoy.
