Summary:
In a blink of the eye, Peggy Carter's world turns upside down. Jack Thompson is shot and the SSR is ending. Dottie is still on the wind, but for how long will she survive? Seemingly loose threads lead to a web of intrigue she could never have imagined. One that involves her long dead brother, Michael, who has now returned to the land of the living.
Huh... I never realized we have never seen Crossbones un masked so we didn't know he has some kind of messed up face... wonder when we'll learn about that...
a cabal of some of Earth’s most powerful crime lords. They operate out of New York City and its key members are The Finisher ( The oldest and the most powerful ), Mister Negative ( the youngest member ), Silvermean, Tombstone ( aka The Lady adapted from The Big man) and hammerhead
Here is a little bit of The Finisher ref. sheet ( and doodle )
Karl Fiers
He’s the head of the chameleon also Damitri father. This guy already 100+ (as a result of super soldier serum ) , living in the same time with Captain America and he’s belongs to Hydra before, but after the world war, he design to split out and making his own gang. THE CHAMELEON
Today I’m taking a look at the Marvel Legends Retro wave Hammerhead. It’s technically sort of the first ML we’ve ever had of this character. I say that because there was an alternate Hammerhead head included with Chameleon some years back, but that doesn’t really count.
I really don’t have much to say about this figure, it’s pretty good. Cuts a mean silhouette that works quite well for a big gangster. This bigger suit body is much better than the smaller sized one. Love the headsculpt and the faceprinting really brings out the detail. I will say the gripping hands are kinda weak. They have a very loose grip and they’re also pretty small proportionally. Probably my biggest complaint.
What really had me excited for this release is that it has me one stop closer to one of my lowkey collecting goals, which is to have a figure for every villain featured in Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro. Once I get that upcoming Lizard, I’ll finally have ‘em all!
Here's a fluffy little something set in the winter of '86❤️
Summary:
With the first night of Hanukkah falling on the Twenty-Sixth - and several Catholic relatives travelling south for Natale - his home has resembled a human beehive for the bulk of he and Oliver’s visit. Granted, it’s slightly calmer right now - with half Maman’s family attending Mass at the duomo - but a fresh wave of well-wishers is seldom far behind, and Elio’s keen to seek refuge wherever possible.
A mêlée of clocks chime twice in succession as Elio passes his younger cousins on the zigzag staircase. A flurry of footsteps cross the parquet flooring above - a high-pitched chant of strega ghiaccio echoes thereafter - and following his nose to the spice-scented kitchen he plants a kiss on Mafalda’s ruddy cheek, careful not to disturb the large basket of artichokes she’s balanced on her hip.
With the first night of Hanukkah falling on the Twenty-Sixth - and several Catholic relatives travelling south for Natale - his home has resembled a human beehive for the bulk of he and Oliver’s visit. Granted, it’s slightly calmer right now - with half Maman’s family attending Mass at the duomo - but a fresh wave of well-wishers is seldom far behind, and Elio’s keen to seek refuge wherever possible.
Oliver - le traître - is holed up in his father’s study; leafing through the latest correspondence from the Lake Garda salvage team. They’d staged a tactical retreat mid-morning. Slipping off quietly whilst Elio was ushered to the piano bench by Isaac, Mounir, and Signor Zanetti. The hodge-podge of medleys they’d begged him to perform, however, were a fun diversion, and Elio hums a snatch of Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle as a large bowl of scrubbed-clean potatoes rattles the tabletop beside him.
It’ll be hours, yet, before they light the menorah - nevermind sit down for their Capodanno feast - so Elio sets to work until he’s elbows-deep in pink, starchy water, gossiping with Mafalda over a mug of vin brulé, then ducking outside to the veranda when Manfredi arrives with a German Art Historian and three Cocker Spaniels he’s ferried from the station.
A gallery curator at the Städel, if memory serves.
Recently transferred to the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome?
“Peu importe…” he dismisses, admiring the thick layer of snow that blankets the sprawling gardens, reflecting the wayward sun in a warm, vermillion haze.
Someone - his Great Aunt Geneviève most likely - has draped the wooden slats with garlands of ruby poinsettia, and quickly feeling the chill, Elio longs for his woollen gloves as he prods a decorative pine cone.
Same with the fur-lined ankle boots drip-drip-dripping in the bathtub upstairs.
Still. Needs must when the devil drives, and there’s a crumpled pack of cigarettes within his jacket pocket: an inadvertent consequence of pre-dawn debauchery against a gnarled, silver beech. With his Uncle Joseph in the adjoining bedroom, privacy, they’ve found, is a hard-fought thing, but catching the filter between his chattering teeth, Elio revels in the tell-tale protest of his aching jaw.
The matching bruises bookmarking his knees.
The pin-prick rash from Oliver’s stubble, now chafing his inner-thighs.
“If only we’d had a peach,” he mutters, adjusting the lay of his jeans, then reaches for his lighter to spark the Gauloise’s tip.
One flick.
Two.
A stuttering third.
The ocean breeze is especially bracing, but closing his eyes against the next frigid gust, Elio breathes in steadily to rid his nose of smoke, then damn near coughs up a lung when a strong pair of arms encircle his rib cage, drawing him into an equally sturdy chest.
“Would you look at that,” he hears - the bergamot-citrus of Oliver’s cologne blending with the burnt-tyre haze of tobacco - and Elio chuckles as a proprietary thumb nudges his gaze skywards.
To the generous sprig of mistletoe hanging from the rafters.
“Now I get to kiss you fair and square,” Oliver murmurs, nuzzling the top of his head, and Elio laughs as he wriggles about to face him, taking his mouth in a kiss so fierce it’s a wonder they don’t topple to the frozen decking below.
In a blink of the eye, Peggy Carter's world turns upside down. Jack Thompson is shot and the SSR is ending. Dottie is still on the wind, but for how long will she survive? Seemingly loose threads lead to a web of intrigue she could never have imagined. One that involves her long dead brother, Michael, who has now returned to the land of the living.
The chessboard is reset. A new game has begun.

The Atomic Job is a funny episode, this humor comes at a price of its drama. It's jokes are funny but are aimed at the wrong things. It is overall just fine, nothing all to special.
The drama falls into two camps, it is either very sudden, or so ridiculous it is hard to take seriously. Peggy falling and getting impaled is very shocking and shifts the tone dramatically. It leads into a scene where Peggy is helped by Sousa's fiancé and she gets mad at Sousa for not telling her about his feelings for Peggy. This scene is generic and kind of just goofy. Anything else is just, generic sci fi and not much.
The jokes in this episode are quite funny, the whole scene with Hugh Jones, the awkwardness of Samberly, the team up walk, and the Joseph Manfredi. There is just a lot of places in the show where i struggle to understand the joke with rose. I can't tell if the joke is "He is so awkward around his crush isn't that funny" or the far worse option "He likes a fat woman". I read it as the first because it is funnier but i would understand if someone thought it was the second one.
Overall, THAT STINGER AT THE END IS WEAK. GET US ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS AND WILL HAPPEN. DON'T JUST LEAVE A CLIFFHANGER.
Lacrime di coccodrillo: Francesco Vezzoli per Napoli
Lacrime di coccodrillo: Francesco Vezzoli per Napoli.
Napoli. Sabato 7 ottobre 2023, alle ore 09.45, a Castel Nuovo sarà inaugurata l’installazione artistica Lacrime di coccodrillo di Francesco Vezzoli. Un nuovo appuntamento con Napoli contemporanea, la ricca programmazione di mostre e installazioni voluta dal sindaco Gaetano Manfredi e curata da Vincenzo Trione, consigliere del sindaco per l’arte contemporanea e l’attività museale.
L’obiettivo è quello di rafforzare la vocazione al contemporaneo della città con iniziative pensate appositamente dai protagonisti dell’arte del nostro tempo e di creare una relazione diretta con la cittadinanza invitando artisti di alto profilo a intervenire in piazze, strade, chiostri, quartieri della città, e contribuire così ad alimentare un processo di riqualificazione urbana.
Ogni progetto nasce in collaborazione con le realtà attive in città, con l’intento di incentivare la formazione e l’espressività dei giovani e la crescita progettuale e professionale del tessuto culturale e artistico del territorio.
“L'arte contemporanea – ha sottolineato il sindaco Gaetano Manfredi - torna protagonista in uno dei luoghi simbolo della nostra città: la fortezza angioina con oltre 700 anni di storia che non smette di incantare e di stupire i turisti e persino gli stessi cittadini napoletani. È il segno di una Napoli fiera della propria tradizione ma che è anche proiettata verso il futuro; una città che traccia segni di contemporaneità in luoghi che rappresentano il suo passato, facendo discutere sui grandi temi del presente”.
“Quest’opera salda con efficacia il legame tra la storia della città e lo sguardo contemporaneo, rinvio a mitologie lontane e sensibilità postmoderna – ha spiegato il consigliere per l’arte contemporanea e l’attività museale Vincenzo Trione - Proprio a questi intrecci tra tempi diversi rimanda la scelta di contaminare in maniera misurata e rispettosa gli spazi di Castel Nuovo con una serie di inciampi visivi contemporanei. Prima, l’elmo di Mimmo Paladino. E, ora, il coccodrillo famelico di Vezzoli, in attesa di altre presenze, capaci di coniugare memoria e modernità”.
“Il Maschio Angioino, ci raccontano gli storici, nel 1300 ospita sia Petrarca che Boccaccio. Nel 1975, in una città apparentemente e fortemente patriarcale, Giuseppe Patroni Griffi crea l’archetipo italiano della fluidità nelle pagine di “Scende giù per Toledo”. Infine, nel 1980 Lucio Amelio costruisce, sempre a Napoli, l’incrocio dei due poli più significativi, ma diametralmente opposti, dell’arte mondiale del secondo dopoguerra: Andy Warhol e Joseph Beuys. Napoli quindi, per definizione, è il luogo dove gli incontri e le stratificazioni più impossibili possono accadere con estrema naturalezza. Napoli è la patria dell’ossimoro felice. In un luogo così epico e romantico mi è stata offerta la possibilità di occupare “una stanza tutta per me” e sono pertanto grato alle Istituzioni per la loro gloriosa ospitalità” questo il commento dell’artista Francesco Vezzoli.
Progetti speciali
Nel luglio del 2022 il Comune di Napoli è risultato vincitore del "PAC2021 - Piano per l'Arte Contemporanea", promosso dalla Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura. L'artista Francesco Vezzoli ha realizzato l'opera Lacrime di coccodrillo, ora esposta in maniera permanente al Maschio Angioino, andando così ad implementare l'offerta culturale del museo civico di Castel Nuovo e a valorizzare il legame tra le opere antiche della collezione e quelle contemporanee. L'installazione è l'espressione del connubio tra antico e moderno e si lega, oltre che alla collezione del museo, alle origini mitiche e leggendarie della città di Napoli, in continuità con il mito della sirena Partenope, titolo dell'opera inizialmente proposto.
Si tratta della prima opera realizzata nell’ambito dei Progetti speciali previsti per Napoli contemporanea, un programma che mira ad arricchire la programmazione culturale, promuovendo interventi in dialogo con la storia di Napoli, impegnati anche ad affermare la vocazione contemporanea di questa città.
Lacrime di coccodrillo
Coccodrillo in bronzo patinato (II metà del XX secolo), testa in marmo di Palmira (circa III secolo d.C.) 60 H x 170 L x 72 P cm (Testa: H 30 cm).
La figura del coccodrillo è legata a una leggenda narrata in Miti e leggende napoletane da Benedetto Croce (1919). Si racconta che, nei sotterranei del Maschio Angioino di Napoli, si nascondesse un coccodrillo trasportato dall’Egitto dalla regina Giovanna II: il famelico alligatore era solito sbranare gli amanti della regina e i prigionieri rinchiusi nei sotterranei del castello.
Questa vicenda è all’origine di Lacrime di coccodrillo, che fa parte della collezione permanente di Castel Nuovo. Riprendendo motivi di una sua precedente installazione, realizzata nel 2021 per Piazza della Signoria a Firenze, intitolata Pietà – un monumentale leone rampante novecentesco installato su un basamento antico, che stritola tra le fauci una testa romana del II secolo d.C. – Vezzoli sperimenta qui un audace montaggio cronologico e materico: un coccodrillo in bronzo patinato (seconda metà del XX secolo) tiene nella sua bocca una testa di marmo (circa III secolo d. C.) proveniente da Palmira, sito archeologico siriano sottoposto, nel 2013, alle sistematiche e violente distruzioni del gruppo terrorista dello Stato Islamico.
Si tratta di un lavoro che conduce nel cuore di una poetica fondata su alcune parole-chiave: prelievo, adattamento, ri-uso. Intento a riaffermare con forza l’importanza dell’estasi dell’influenza, Vezzoli considera necessario il richiamo ai classici, che custodiscono la vita interiore dell’umanità. Non sono vicini a noi: siamo noi che dobbiamo entrare nella loro orbita e diventarne contemporanei.
E, tuttavia, Vezzoli predilige i sentieri laterali. In bilico tra rispetto e trasgressione, si affida alla strategia della distanza: avvicina a noi qualcosa di lontano, conservandolo però nella sua lontananza. Non si ferma alla contemplazione. Egli, invece, avvia un confronto disinibito con la memoria. Ripercorre le vestigia dei “padri”. E, al tempo stesso, le modifica. Decontestualizza arbitrariamente statue e rovine, proiettandosi così verso esiti allegorici.
Non di rado Vezzoli assume sculture antiche, che altera e integra con elementi aggiuntivi. È quel che accade in Lacrime di coccodrillo. Ne emerge una precisa filosofia del classico, inteso come figura che accoglie in sé antitesi: identità e alterità. Non geografia dell’incertezza, ma tempio di una nobile semplicità e di una tranquilla grandezza. Patrimonio da rimontare con ironia e leggerezza. Eredità da rifare. Non meta raggiunta, ma evento estraneo e sempre imprevisto, da riconquistare ogni giorno. Relitto ancora emozionante.
Evidenti le assonanze con le poetiche postmoderniste, ispirandosi alle quali Vezzoli sembra comportarsi come un deejay, abile nella manipolazione e nella ricombinazione di materiali già realizzati. Esperto nell’estetica del riciclo a oltranza e del download di forme. Pronto a re-mixare iconografie già esistenti. Disinvolto nel rivivere miti e leggende in una prospettiva priva di senso del tragico.
Francesco Vezzoli è nato nel 1971 a Brescia. Ha studiato alla Central St. Martin’s School of Art di Londra, attualmente vive e lavora a Milano. È tra gli artisti italiani contemporanei più conosciuti e apprezzati a livello internazionale. Ha partecipato a diverse Biennali (Venezia, San Paolo, Whitney Biennial, Istanbul). Sue mostre personali sono state ospitate in alcuni tra i più importanti musei del mondo (New Museum of Contemporary Art di New York, Castello di Rivoli, Fondazione Prada, Centre Pompidou e Musée d’Orsay a Parigi, Solomon R. Guggenheim, Kunsthalle di Vienna, Museum of Contemporary Art di Los Angeles, Moma PS1, Palazzo delle Esposizioni di Roma). Vezzoli è stato il primo artista italiano a realizzare un’opera site specific per Piazza della Signoria di Firenze (2021)....
