Thanoscopter

I can’t believe what I just found at my local Migros store: The Thanoscopter!

Mattel / Hot Wheels model toy found in 2023 (rafenew.world)

Let me elaborate:

  • In the toy section of my local store I found…
  • this Mattel / Hot Wheels toy…
  • modelled after Thanos’ obscure helicopter…
  • based on a 1979 comic-strip…
  • last seen 2021 in a blink-and-you-miss-it easter egg in Marvels Disney+ show «Loki».
Avengers Infinity War (2018) poster and the Mad Titan flying his choppa in the 1979 comic-strip (Marvel, Disney, knowyourmeme.com)

I’m amazed and happy at the same time how somehow this product found its way onto that shelf. And I’m even more surprised that I payed almost 13 francs for it.

LANDO – A Star Wars Story

With Childish Gambino‘s (Donald Glover’s) «This Is America» conquering the internets while #boycottstarwars is becoming a thing, I imagine Kathleen Kennedy wished they were going a different route with their next Star Wars release.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Rating: 4.5

What a great sci-fi fantasy action comedy! I laughed my ass off and if you’re an eighties kid, you probably will, too.
In the end there was not a dry eye in the house (and that wasn’t because of the 3D glasses).
