#368 - Yon-Rogg/Phil Coulson
Look, it's 1920s Dumbledore! For some reason, some people seem to think it was revelatory news a few days ago when Marvel said Jude Law's character was Yon-Rogg and not (as assumed by the fanboys who love ferreting out every spoiler and morsel of casting news they can possibly find) Mar-Vell. How is it in any way "news" when the Marvel Legends and these Walgreens-exclusive Minimates have been out since last month and have the name "Yon-Rogg" right there on the packaging for everyone to see? Gigolo Joe is wearing his green and silver Starforce uniform, and it's a slightly different pattern from the rest. Everybody's is unique! Which makes them less of a uniform and more of a general fashion choice, doesn't it? He has a holster on his left leg, and a gun for it, and his gloves are new molds with extra bits sticking off the sides. He carries some translucent blue thingamabob which will almost certainly make more sense once we've seen the movie, and for times when you don't want him wearing his helmet, there's a "collapsed" version that lays against his back.
But Kristofer Hivju is Tormund Giantsbane!
(Not sure if I missed the joke.)
Absolutely you did! The joke is (*drumroll*) that I was wrong and am a dummy, and that you made the review better by pointing it out...
Maybe calling an ethnic name “ridiculous” isn’t... the best look tbh
To be fair, they make fun of Benedict Cumberbatch's name too. Equal opportunity and all that.
I'll have you know that Brimpleybick Cucumber is a perfectly normal name!
Baron's got a point, though, so I don't mind changing "ridiculous" (worthy of ridicule) to "outlandish" (wholly unusual)...
