As I kid, when I got home from school each day, I turned on Star Trek which was on just before the news. Iā€™ve seen every episode dozens of times. And yet, I 100% immediately thought ā€œYep, thatā€™s Captain Kirk when Pine puts on the uniform

So, if Steve T. does in fact make a third appearance in the WW films he does need to indeed stay in Dianaā€™s life forever after 'cuz if sheā€™s made to suffer his loss for a third time thatā€™ll easily constitute a strong case for filmmaking malpractice. Yep.

I love him as Captain Kirk. (Also since we were talking about gag reels, those movies have some of the BEST bloopers. :joy:)

Other movies I love him in:

Unstoppable. This is just a really good movie.

Wrinkle in Time. Brainiac and loving father, be still my heart.

Princess Diaries 2. In my defense I just really enjoyed this movie when it came out, when I was significantly younger. I will still watch it as a comfort movie and baby Chris is very charming in it.

Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. Although between Wonder Woman, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and this movie, I would like to humbly request that filmmakers stop making me watch him die. :sob:

K, itā€™s past my bedtime, so Iā€™ll leave you all with this: Chris Pine rapping ā€œIce, Ice Baby.ā€ (At the 5:42 mark.)

Truly, a man of infinite talents. :rofl:

That is, quite literally, the best thing Iā€™ve seen on the Internet today (Sunday).

I thank you.

SN: If Pine can successfully render Iceā€™s ā€œbestā€ song (Ninja Rap), that will add to his stock of badassery.

Fun Fact about Robert (Chrisā€™s dad) Pine:

He had a small part in Independence Day as one of President Whitmoreā€™s advisers, and is seen prior to the aliensā€™ arrival.

The more you know. :stars:

I got all but #2 correct! (Thanks for the freebie on #4 :rofl:).

In WW Rebirth, Barbara Minerva argues about the Amazon name origin:

Nice, love that argument. I tend to side with Dr. Minerva on that one. It often happens that one language takes words from another and the meanings shift. You earned the freebie

moseys into the WAL area humming To Be Human as he makes his way toward his seat

Alrighty, just gonna bookmark my seat with this lovely, 19-inch Walmart exclusive from 2017:

puts the figure in his seat, straps it down securely and then exits while humming the remainder of To Be Human

SN: Hereā€™s another 2017-released WW by Jakks Pacific (the company that made the above figure), and if memory serves, this one was an Amazon exclusive:

I donā€™t have the Amazon exclusive Diana, but I do have the Walmart piece. Her cloak is quite nice, and well-tailored.

Hey, I finally got all of them correct! :tada: Thanks for the freebie, lol!

I loved her Rebirth appearances. Dr. Minerva isnā€™t wrong, thoā€¦ plus (if it exists in antiquities, I havenā€™t seen it), but Amazons werenā€™t really depicted with evidence of self-mutilation. Also, Hamazan is a name meaning (if memory serves) ā€˜to leave your markā€™. :eyes: Or something to that effect.
