Man Crush: Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill is my man crush this week. With the DC movie lineup leaked earlier this weekend, it looks as though we will get to see much more of Henry in the coming years. The first time I saw him was in Immortals where he played a young Thesus who was destined save a kingdom from the evil of Mickey Rourke's face. His character called for him to look as if he was sculpted by the gods and he delivered, and when Man of Steel was released we saw he only got stronger and bigger.  I enjoyed Henry's take on The Man of Tomorrow. The bad dialogue aside he played it well and with a new Oscar winning screenwriter I have high hopes for this upcoming picture. I think he played both sides of Superman very well between the farm boy from Kansas or the Red Blue Blur on the streets of Metropolis. I have high hopes for there rest of the DC cinematic Universe especially with Henry leading the pack.

Character Crush: Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)

Everyone loves a bad boy. The first Green Goblin Norman Osborn takes the phrase "bad boy" to a whole new level. He is Spiderman's arch nemesis. Now I know some will argue Doc Ock is the greater villain because he was able to "kill" Spiderman, but I still feel Norman has done more damage to Peter's life than any other foe. Most famously being responsible for Gwen Stacy's death, Osborn took it a step further when Peter discovers years later that Normie banged and impregnated Gwen. She gave birth to Norman's twins shortly before her death. Cuckholding Spiderman and then killing his girlfriend is just absolutely vicious. Norman isn't taking Evil 101, he is teaching that shit. Peter Parker's life sucked enough before Norman started dressing for Halloween for 365 days a year, but now Norman does his best to make it suck that much more. Great villains like him are what make iconic heroes' stories like Spiderman so compelling. 

For every life you save... there's a million new ways to die!
