Wolverine and the X-men

What can I say... i decided to give it a shot. 

First of all, Wolverine as the leader of anything but an assassin squad strikes me as weird at best. I mean... Cyclops is there and so's Emma Frost (although I suppose I would be against her leading an X-men group of her own as well. As far as I know, this is more or less the first time she's been animated as anything but a villainess. 

But truth be told. I loved it. Loved it so much I'll probably buy the first season on dvd when the time comes. The setting is nice. It creates a need for wolverine to lead. Jean Grey is gone, leaving Cyclops devastated, Charles is gone too, and nobody else is the type to handle a situation. Not yet anyway. Storm and Nightcrawler are shown in the introduction, but is, like Colossus, not in the series as of yet. So... where was I... Ah, The setting is right. Everyone's on edge. Days of the future past seems to be just around the corner, with military taking in unregistered mutants, and magneto living in his fortress of solitude in Genosha. The brotherhood of mutants is once again at bay, this time without Mystique, though it seems Domino has taken her place. Both as leader of the group, and as Rogues mother figure. 

There were tons of easter eggs among captured mutants and stuff. so yeah... I'm a fanboy.

Okay. For the very first time on this or any other blog I've had. This is me, how I looked like five minutes before writing this blog.

Just thought It might help to have a face to go with the name.

A new beginning.

The origin of this blog was originally to play as a humorous spin-off of a Dungeons and Dragons game me and some friends play. In this game, I played the part of Tindo Beren (insert half a dozen more names here) "Smartmouth", a gnomish bard. He earned the nickname "Smartmouth" for always coming up with clever, if not always polite, comments to every potentially tense situation. This was his forum, where he would recount the adventures of our little group, from our defeat by rats to our great victory over invading orcs. And every now and then, he'd come up with a tale from ages past, or childrens stories, or heroic tales. Well... that was the idea anyway.

Thing is, one of my friends moved away, so it's far between the times we get together, and thus this blog idea sort of fell to shreds. It's been sort of my dumping spot for stories, and might still be. I think. Anyways. Between any such stories that might or might not appear, I'll focus on life stuff and thought stuff. Mostly thought stuff, as that is what I tend to write about in my Norwegian (bokmål) blog. But every now and then, who knows. 

I'll keep the name of the blog. Because whether I like it or not, the "clever" comment thing is something the little gnome picked up from me. Plus, I'll keep anything I've written here earlier. It's not like I can figure out how to delete it anyway, so I might as well have it here as a reminder to what this blog was originally ment to be. 

PS. Thoughtstuff, in case you were wondering, includes my opinion on comic stuff, things that don't make sense, things I'm trying to make sense of, things that makes perfect sense until I strip it down to it's most basic components, and movie stuff.
