Welcome to Screen Rant’s “Geek Picks,” where we collect the finest movie-related geekery from around the web for you. Today you’ll find undead Star Trek designs; Avengers art; a Disney Sin City; superhero guitar designs and a beautiful Thor. All that and more on this edition of SR’s Geek Picks!
With all the success of The Avengers I have been wondering about Jon Favreau. He basically got this whole Avengers ball rolling with the first Iron Man (still my favorite Marvel film) and continued the roll with the less awesome Iron Man 2. THR spoke with the actor/director about Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, and as with all interviews of this nature, he’s very politically correct. However, I’d be curious to hear his thoughts off the record.
We know Favreau really wanted to direct The Avengers at some point, and somewhere it has to bother him that he didn’t get to. He also says he’s going to be heavily involved with Iron Man 3 even without sitting in the director’s chair. Check out the link for the full interview.
io9 has listed the 10 best time travel movies of all time. Back To The Future is on the list, so it at least has some validity.

I love the Darth Vader USB hub, the Avengers cap (although I’d never buy something like that) and of course… the Lady Thor (Thorgirl? That’s a character too – either way, she’s hot
).
Anywho, what was the bit about Favreou doing on this article?
Thanks for the love! Its a crossplay of Thor
Will you marry me? If no, do you have an Asgardian sister who will answer yes?

There’s always a catch!!
Lady Thor is sexy, TDKR animated trailer was cool, and the cardboard Ironman suit looks badass.
Cardboard/Iron Man FTW!!!
I know it’s entirely cheesy but I just love Kickboxer. That video made me smile, thanks for posting it:) Still think it’s better than Bloodsport…but I’ll stop there.
I love me some Brent Spiner. I had such a crush on him growing up. I think I still do. Sometimes I break out in song “Life forms, you lovely little life forms, where are you?” with appropriate snapping and clapping.
Lady Thor is hot but my boobs gave a sympathy wince for her boobs. Metal bras are so not fun.
I died when I was watching the Sin City video with Sleeping Beauty as goldie. too funny
Lady Thor wow she’s smoking hott. Some really cool stuff and the cardboard iron man awesome.
The SHAWARMA scene in the painting is my fave.
OMG! I wish TDKR was animated now :{ That trailer was better than the real one. This is sad lol
lol sin city and ‘operation’ are too funny
That Iron Man suit is pretty awesome.
Batman: TAS was bad-ass, love that series.
And just have to tell you that you’re completely wrong about Battleship. It was tons of fun unless you hate the military, then you’ll hate the movie…
Wow, Lady Thor is hot.
I hope Favreau isn’t too upset. Honestly I think things turned out for the best, boy did they. The Avengers is IMO the best superhero film ever. Favreau still had a huge influence on the movie with his successful Iron Man flick. So yeah, I think he needs to be more proud of himself than to be disappointed.
Love the animated Batman trailer. And the Avengers nighthawks painting.
lady look beautiful in cosplay
cool
