Well, you lot liked this one didn't you. Beating last weeks record number of votes and getting more user suggestions than any previous poll, you guys certainly had a lot to say about who you thought was the best at playing superhero on the big screen. And as it would turn out, most of what you had to say was about one particular person, but we'll get to that later.
Honourable Mentions: Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (X-Men franchise), Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach (Watchmen), Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange/ Stephan Strange and Tom Holland as Spider-Man/ Peter Parker (MCU), Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon and Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth (The Dark Knight Trilogy)

Welcome to the first installment of the 2016 "12 days of Anime" edition of Anime Talk. As I mentioned in a previous post this year I am switching the format of the traditional "12 Days Of Anime" from talking about a singular moment from an anime watched in that year, as this seemed to bomb last year. So instead I will be doing reviews of Anime that came out in 2016 as well as a few other topics relevant to Anime. One post 12 days in a row starting today until the 24th.

While a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer is a quaint and surprisingly effective way to circumnavigate the globe, perhaps it is time for Santa to update his form of transportation.
Your challenge this week is to design a brand new ride for Mr. Claus.
There is no limit on number of entries this week.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine :,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);
Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this).

Trailers, trailers everywhere! Another week goes by and I have double the number to talk about than I did last time. Some will be pretty fast to discuss, at least. This time we’re also just going in the order that I wrote them down, again no top to bottom list. As we have so much to go over, let’s just jump right in and get to it!

So, as this is most likely going to be the last poll for this year thanks to the very busy period between Christmas and New Year, I thought I would probably be best to take a look forward into next year, at what looks to be shaping up to be a very good year for "geek" cinema. We'll see the MCU steam ahead towards the Infinity War, find out if the DCEU can actually swim rather than simple tread water and we get a new Star Wars. But which are you most looking forward to?
As per usual, I've given you 10 options to start with and you can add your own, provided they are movies that currently have a 2017 release date scheduled.

Ladies and Gentlemen, usually on What Were They Thinking, we look at the stupidest, most ill-advised things that have ever taken place in the history of the comic book industry. But today, we are gathered here for a funeral. We are here to mourn the loss of Scott Summers, also known as the hero Cyclops, long serving leader of the X-Men, who has been so cruelly taken from us. I mean, he's not dead, well as far as I'm aware, but he might as well be. There is such a thing as "character assassination", which is the malicious and unjustified harming of a persons good reputation, and of all characters in comics history, no-one has been through a more rigorous and thorough one than Scott Summers. And the culprit? That'd be Marvel.
So, how did they do it, and what was their motive. Well in the great tradition of murder mysteries, I'm going to gather all the suspects in a room and explain to you whodunit.

Hey Folks, I plan on doing 12 days of Anime again this year, but I don't plan on doing it the traditional way which is to pic one moment from anime that your watched this year and write about it, one for each of the 12 days as the format did not seem all that popular last year. Instead I plan on just doing 12 daily anime related posts between december 13th and December 24th. I will limit reviews to anime from this year, but I would like some idea both of what anime you'd like me to review and addition topics you'd like to discuss. So leave your suggestion in the comments below.
