Meme sheep says Baaaaaa
May. 7th, 2012 08:46 amSo doing my part to keep the icon meme going. Here are my answers for
ceitfianna 's picks:
This is a cover for a What If? issue where in Doctor Doom maintained the powers of the Beyonder from the Secret Wars. Doom is a fascinating character for me and I loved this issue for at the end of it, after fighting with the Celestials for 500 years, he returns to earth to help rebuild and despite still having godlike powers, he simply uses his bare hands like everyone else.
This was likely the scene wherein I fell in love with Julie. She is just so happy for having been finally chosen to help and succeeding in helping. And Moon Shadow even said, "Thank you. You were great." Which is why he's getting his ribs cracked here. As a kid I never felt appreciated so I can really associate with Julie here.
I love Brian Froud's faeries and decided I needed at least one. I ended up with a couple and I love the mysterious amuzed look on this goblin's face.
Ah Palamedes. I have been going back and forth with Palamedes as a pup for some time but never found a pb that fit the book. Alexander Siddig was a good and fun but didn't fit the character as portrayed in the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. He was just a little too playful and joking. Then I tried Laurence Fishburne from Othelo which again was close but he ended up being too gruff. Then one day I came across Christopher Judge without the SG1 makeup and he clicked. I like this icon as it fits my image of Palamedes. The book makes vague references to his past which makes him seem very mysterious for he's been alive at least a 1000 years, if you place King Arthur in the 10 century.
Budgie! Budgie is one of my favorite musicians from the post punk era. He, Siouxsie Sioux and Steve Sevrin are what make Sioxise and the Banshees remarkable to me. I also love how photogenic Budgie is and how dramatic he is here.
So if you'd like to play, leave a comment and I'll pick five icons for you to explain to me.
