“And the Geek shall inherit the Earth”
Never has a phrase been more true. Geek is the new Popular. I remember in primary school being one of the few girls who could name the superheroes on the cards that the boys tested me on. I could even name the artists. At home I played Prince of Persia and annoyed my brother my beating him at Tekken 3.
After school we’d watch X-Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Did I label myself a geek? Nope – I didn’t know the word. I just knew I liked the things that my brother and cousins liked.
But I love that more and more people are embracing the geek, just means I have more people to talk to about the things I love.
This year is a BIG year for geeky movies and this post serves more as a reminder for me so I have a place to refer back to.
So here we go!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – March 25
A lot of people didn’t like Man of Steel, but I did. Henry Cavill is a good Superman. I’m really looking forwardd to seeing Wonder Woman in action though. And also Jason Momoa as Aquaman – who doesn’t make an appearance in any of the trailers.
