Reminds me of an idea I had around the time of Romney's "binders of women" comment, except my idea was just a spell book full of spells for different types of women, not a full plot hook like this.

Inspired (in a good way) by Ancient History's Shadow of Stygia game, I went looking for the MST of the Eye of Argon.

If you're never heard of it, you're in for a treat. Many years ago, a sixteen-year-old boy read too much Conan, and wrote a ripoff story about Grignr the Barbarian. And it gained no small infamy for being pretty terrible. In 1996, someone posted an MST of it--written as if the Eye of Argon was a movie the jolly crew of the Satellite of Love were watching.

So, I give you: The MST of Eye of Argon.

Also, I found out the university of Pittsburgh has fairy tales online. Like, original Brothers Grimm junk. So here's the Frog Prince, which is notable for including Iron Heinrich (yeah, I know, it calls him faithful Heinrich, but I'm gonna go with the Better Myths kid on this one), a faithful servant of the prince who was so overcome with grief at his master disappearing that he had to wrap his heart in three different iron bands to keep it from exploding.

I keep getting the mental image of an eight-foot Space Marine in full medieval armor, with a big scar on his chest.

Why have I never heard about Iron Heinrich until now? I mean, who the hell decided to edit him out of the story? If they decided to give the Frog Prince the "Snow White and the Huntsman" treatment (and they'd better treat it better than they did Snow White), Iron Heinrich should be in there.

So apparently Karen Gillian is going to play a space pirate named Nebula who is possibly the daughter of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Castle Waiting version of Iron Henry is so good that it's completely displaced the Brother's Grimm version for me. I had to stop myself from posting that they'd borrowed the character from her.

Is this just because she's bald? Because if so, I don't see Nebula, I see Moondragon (a stupidly overpowered psychic trained by people from a moon of Saturn), the daughter of Drax the Destroyer (someone raised from the dead with the purpose of killing Thanos).

Although, if she plays both Nebula and Moondragon, then she plays Thanos' daughter and Drax the Destroyer's daughter. I am now wondering why both of their daughters are bald.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 6:28 pm

Well, Moondragon was raised by shaven-headed monks, and she's psychic so maybe the hair was interfering with the psi-rays coming out of her skull, and for a little while she was a literal dragon...

Nebula did have hair, but then she got catatonic trying to eat an energy field bigger than her head, and when she came back (via cybernetics!) it involved shaving off her hair.

Kaelik · Post by **Kaelik** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 6:31 pm

I'm pretty sure when she came out bald and stood in front of a microphone, she said why she was bald.

She came out in a wig, took it off during the panel, and said she was playing Nebula (so far as I've gathered from coverage, it's not like I'm there)

She does not look very good bald.

Are you kidding? I think she looks great bald.

Yeah, man, you need to grade that shit on a curve. The stupid part of your lizard brain goes all baaawwww and gets confused with short haired women just as a matter of course because long shiny hair reads as healthy and therefore tells you where to put your penis. So in the long term hitting on women who shaved their head and still manage to look pretty alright anyway can pay mad dividends when they get bored of it.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:07 am

...or you can just be pansexual and let your penis find a hole that fits it.

Bonus:
When I typed "This hole is mine" into GIS with this context in mind, I was greatly amused by the first results being things like this:

No, you need to grade that shit on a different curve. No doubt Karen Gillian bald is more attractive than the average bald woman, because Karen Gillian is hotter than the average woman. Yes, her bald is still relatively attractive for being bald. So what. She looks bad bald because she loses even more proportionally from being bald than the average woman.

I have seen some relatively attractive women bald. Very few lost as much from being bald as she has. I mean yes, I would obviously rather be with a temporarily bald Karen Gillian than a hypothetical average girl, but I'm not going to be with Karen Gillian at all. So the real question isn't who you would want to be with, it is how much the person loses.
