Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

The lead actress in the SyFy show Dark Matter would be a stronger choice I think. She's puts in a better performance than anything I've seen Olivia Munn in.

I remember some people couldn't tell back when she was on whatever that bad show was called. I could though. I think there was a joke that the X-Men 3 director or someone said about how she changed her name early on so people wouldn't think she was Asian.

Aaron seems to approve.

Ninja shape is as close to a real life Psylocke as possible. She doesn't have to be like Michelle Lewin who is a similar height but also a professional fitness model. But she could be closer than what I'm seeing. Maybe she is training. I don't know. She looks the same to me. I just see her spinning a sword and talking about getting into the costume. And when I saw her spinning the sword I just thought about that scene from Raiders...

I would be surprised if she is even at 50% of what Jessica Biel was during Blade 3. And you know what would have been both geeky and cool? Instead of talking about the costume and spinning a sword, if she was in a gym and did one of those Psylocke versus screen combos right before a battle in the X-Men Children of the Atom game. Perhaps ended it with a victory pose. Capcom did style her after Jim Lee's artwork. Also, I believe the blue costume first appeared in Jim Lee's X-Men #1. But all this is jumping ahead. We'll see what she does in the movie. I just hope she turns in a better performance as Psylocke than what we received for Storm...

Olivia Munn has Aaron Rodgers...does that count as armchair double check quarterback?

Arm Chair Quarterback: some d-bag who is certain that he or she can make better decisions than the coaches or players while watching a competitive sport on television.

Hot Toys makes great statues, but the female figures I have seen are hugely unimpressive. Its something about the eyes that just kills it for me. Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, and even the new Pepper Potts all have that same problem. Their faces just look off to me. Its a shame too because they clearly have the ability to make some killer pieces.

Most of the females have a deer-in-headlights look. I don't think my CAtwoman is too bad though, but I have her displayed with the goggles down anyways.
