Our second look at Heroic Origins.

There’s never been a better time to catch up on the Mad Titan’s history! The surprise appearance of Thanos at the end of last summersAvengersfilm caused something amazing to happen. Thanos was created by Jim Starlin, in, of all places a Psychology class. Inspired by ideas of repressed anger and obsession, Starlin doodled images of Thanos and Drax in his notebook. Early in his career he was asked to fill in onIron Man#55....

In An Adventure With Scientists. I thought you were great in All Stars, can you tell us a bit about the film? Its not pushing the politics of youth centre down your throat. How was it working with the young actor and actresses on the film? They were really wonderful and an amazing bunch of kids. They were such a lot of fun and had so much energy. They were so committed and I felt really proud of them when I saw the film....

We got a chance to talk to Xan Cassavetes about Kiss Of The Damned and vampires.

The decade of video nasties,The A-Team,Boy George and Ronald Reagan. In fact, the first ever controversial videogame was probablyDeath Race,which appeared way back in 1976. One of those companies was Wizard Video, an indie movie distributor owned by filmmaker Charles Band. Gore quotient:Surprisingly low. Were really not sure. Gore quotient:Moderately high.

Den of Geek: Did you pitch the series or did Dynamite approach you? DoG: What is your approach to the character, who is she to you? Ive added a degree of nihilism to her. She comes from a cold, very moneyed upbringing. Not a lot of love in her house growing up. Our initial arc is partly her discovering what she cares about, what shes willing to fight for. DoG:Were you familiar with the character before you got the gig?...

From cinema’s earliest years, shoes have been often used symbolically. Aliya chooses a few of her favourite footwear moments… How often do you look at someones shoes? Going places Nothing makes a character look more awesome than a great pair of shoes. Take the opening sequence ofSaturday Night Fever(1977). We instantly recognise him hes just like us. Its a perfect movie beginning. He was a go-getter, but now hes just a pair of red laces in the dust....

So that all played a massive part in how I approached the character....

Keep it up, guys! This pot aint slow boiling. The symbolism of fire and its spreading influence is not lost on the show. With the war seemingly at an eerily halt, chaos spreads everywhere. But despite noble intentions, their entire lair is a hotbed of crazy and feverish frenzy. They pray to the Lord of Light and in his name light swords on fire for ritualistic executions. The maddening confusion of this tense opener is a metaphor for how nuts Westeros has become writ small....

The Journey we never thought to think of…
