Marvel's Pepper

Pepper Potts first appears in Iron Man played by Gwneyth Paltrow and directed by Jon Favreau. She is the assistant to Tony Stark love interest (but that comes more in the second movie). She is smart and quick witted and can take anything that Tony throws at her as ridiculous as she finds his ideas. And she is strong business woman that gets what she needs done no matter who she has to deal with.

In Iron Man 2 she is still a big part of Tony's help behind the scenes while he's Iron Man and in his company, which she is now in charge of. 

She makes a small appearnece in The Avengers. Here she helps Tony gather info on his fellow avengers.

Iron Man 3 is where she gets her biggest role. She is kidnapped my the baddie and turned into a kind of super soldier but with a nuclear explosive potential. We get to see her do some cool fighting as she defeats the baddie and saves Tony. Of course they reverse the change so she doesn't explode, but it was fun while it lasted.

Pepper won't be appearing in Civil War and with there being no more Iron Man movies we probably won't be seeing her again. But, again, it was nice while it lasted. Have a great week everyone!

Fox's Storm

Storm aka Ororo Munroe makes her cinematic entrance in X-Men played by Halle Berry and directed by Bryan Singer. And it isn't a pretty one. She doesn't have much to do in any of the movies nor is she important to the plot. Just like she made that horrible Catwoman movie, she is a horrible Storm. So we won't go into every movie because her performance is the same in all. Something happens and she reacts but doesn't do much and her line delivery is awful.

Luckily we don't have to deal with that anymore. Thanks to the X-Men: Days of Future Past reset we will be getting a new actress to play Storm. And hopefully she will give us the Storm we deserve. Until then, have a great week everyone!

Silky Smooth DC pt.2

Silk Specter II aka Laurie Jupiter jumps onto the big screen in Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder, and is played by Malin Akerman. And I must say again that this is one of the most perfectly cast movies I have ever seen. Although I do have a few problems with how they handled Laurie by taking away some of her lines and giving them to other characters. Overall she transitioned from page to screen seamlessly. She is a very strong woman with a dark past that looms over her. She is the daughter of Sally Jupiter aka Silk Specter and Eddie Blake aka The Comedian (although this isn't officially confirmed until the last half of the movie). So naturally she was raised to also be a vigilante just like her parents. We see her grow as she over comes the fear of her origins while trying to get her life together as the world is facing chaos and potential destruction.

Movies: the only place you can jump into a burning building and not get frizzy hair

This is the only time we'll see Laurie on the big screen, unless they decide to make a Before Watchman mini series or something. Until then, we can only dream. Have a great week everyone!

Marvel's 2nd in Command

Maria Hill is introduced is The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon and Maria is played by Cobie Smulders. Here she is introduced as one of Nick Fury's top agents along side Coulson, Romanoff and Barton. She is his second in command and is in charge of the other agents. We don't know that much about her in this installment, but she will continue to show up in the movies as assistant to Nick and a great ally to the Avengers. 

I wish my uniform was that cool

Maria has more air time in Captain America: Winter Soldier directed by the Russo brothers. She has some small scenes where she is at the staged death of Nick Fury and where she helps Nat, Steve and Sam Wilson aka Falcon. She is the one that hid Fury after he was attacked to keep him safe. The fact that she was the one entrusted to do so shows just how loyal she is to Fury and how much trust he has for her. We finally get to see her in action when she fights off HYDRA (the main bad guys in the Captain America movies) agents while monitoring the teams progress in the assault on S.H.E.I.L.D.S. headquarters. At the end of the movie Fury sends her to get a job at Stark Industries to keep an eye on that part of the team. 

Loyalist team member

The next movie we see Maria in is Avengers: Age of Ultron directed by Joss Whedon. We see her at a party with the other Avengers talking with James Rhodes aka War Machine, Tony and Thor. She also helps to evacuate citizens from Sokovia while the Avengers fight Ultron. And that's all we see of her in the movie. 

Fashion agent

It's unclear whether Maria will appear in the next set of movies, but I hope she does and that we are able to explore her character a little more. Until then, have a great week everyone!
