favorite quote: "hey mustache, what's up!"

lucifer: lucifer morningstar

reason: i love crime shows, especially ones that aren't entirely too gory. there is one episode in season 3 i cannot watch because of how absolutely nasty it is. either way, lucifer is my favorite. he is the crime fighting devil! i love his character arc and the fact that a random man was just allowed to fight crime alongside the detective lol.

favorite quote: "because you f*cking shot me daniel!" 

modern family: jay pritchett

reason: jay is so funny. the patriarch of the family. he also reminds me of my pop SO MUCH. i love how much he grew in the show and how accepting he became of mitch and cam. i also love how much he loves manny even tho i don't really like manny. 

favorite quote: "ah jeez."

stranger things: chief jim hopper

reason: i love hopper. he is so funny and grew so much throughout the show. i love that he took in el and cares for her with everything he has, even if he has a funny way of showing it.

favorite quote: "nod if you understand!"

supernatural: dean winchester

reason: i love dean. i love dean so much. he is such an amazing character and entirely amusing. i love supernatural altogether. he is entirely attractive, obviously, and his dynamic with sam is fantastic.

favorite quote: "that's it, i'm gettin my gun. sammy!"

the office: kevin malone

reason: he is so silly. he is such an awkward random character, he's so lovable. for my 16th birthday, my dad got me a cameo from brian baumgartner. it was so amazing, i was so excited. i have seen the entire show over 15 times. i watched this show NON STOP from 2017-2021. i know everything about the office.

favorite quote: "the trick is to undercook the onions."

wednesday: wednesday addams

reason: like i said, i love crime shows. i love the bleakness of wednesday and her dry humor. she has such a good character arc and i see myself in her a lot. 

favorite quote: "i have FOBI. fear of being included."

MOVIES: 

beetlejuice: betelgeuse

reason: i put off watching this movie for so long. i was terrified that it was going to be scary and i hate scary things. i am obsessed with the broadway show so i had to watch the movie. it then became my favorite. i watch it every halloween. i've got posters and funko pops and keychains all over my room. i love beetlejuice.

favorite quote: "Ah. Well I attended Juilliard, I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the black plague and had a pretty good time during that. I'VE SEEN THE EXORCIST A HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN TIMES AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER, EVERY TIME I SEE IT! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKIN TO A DEAD GUY! NOW WHAT D'YOU THINK!... d'you think I'm qualified?"

clue: wadsworth

reason: i love tim curry and was heartbroken when i heard he died. clue is my absolute favorite movie of his. ive seen it so many times and its just an absolute classic.

favorite quote: "frankly, my dear scarlet, i don't give a damn."

die hard: hans gruber

reason: i have seen die hard a countless amount of times. alan rickman is my favorite actor of all time. hans is such an amazing character, so purely driven by money. amazing.

favorite quote: "what idiot put you in charge?"

forrest gump: forrest gump

reason: i love forrest. hes adorable and i think hes a perfect character of perseverance. i wish he would have ended up with someone other than jenny, but the man loved her with all of his heart.

favorite quote: "jenny and me was like peas and carrots."

harry potter: severus snape

reason: snape is my fav. he is an icon. he is such a complex character that mostly had harrys best interests at heart. again, i love alan rickman. i deadass have a 6 foot cardboard cutout of snape in my room. book snape was terrible. he is evil with no personality. alan rickman brought him to life in the best way.

favorite quote: "turn to page 394." (literally my private story name)

hunger games: haymitch abernathy

reason: i am so excited for the upcoming hunger games movie. the hunger games means so much to me for so many reasons. haymitch is such an intriguing character and i can't wait to see joseph zada play him. 

favorite quote: "embrace the possibility of your imminent death, and know, in your heart, that there is nothing i can do to save you."

the greatest showman: p.t. barnum

reason: i ONLY like the movie version of mr barnum. he was a terrible exploitative person in real life. hugh jackman brings a whole new light to mr barnum and it makes it more fun to differentiate character from real person. 

favorite quote: "what's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight!"

twilight: alice cullen

reason: alice is adorable. she is such a good friend to bella and a sister to edward. her background is so sad thus im happy she ends up with jasper. her hair is my fav in the first movie too LOL.

favorite quote: "oh! you do smell good!"

wicked: glinda upland

reason: glinda is just such an icon. i love pink and i think her songs are amazing. i hope she lives the political life she deserves with helping all of the oz residents. that's just my head cannon ig. 

favorite quote: "popular! you're gonna be pop-u-lar!"

x-men: wolverine

reason: i dont know why i love wolverine. it could be hugh jackman, it could be the fact that he is mysterious and complicated. i dont know. what i do know, is that i have no issue whatsoever with the fact that the xmen movies center around him LOL.

favorite quote: "im the best there is at what i do, and what i do isn't very nice."

the end!! whilst making this, i noticed i have a type when it comes to favorite characters: weird, mysterious, goofy, and rugged. interesting.

x-men fan/official cast round up! (UPDATED)

so here's the deal, i am a HUGE x-men fan. i love the x-men, i have read a bunch of my dad's old comics on the x-men, i've seen the movies a billion times. when i found out that marvel/disney will be taking over the x-men cast, i was ecstatic. the fox version was amazing and always will be, however i do believe some characters were completely nerfed alongside their suits. my favorite character is wolverine, so i have no issue with the movies centering around him but i do feel other characters need limelight. 

all that being said, here i will be sharing the official casting announcements and who i would cast as the characters! (with references)

fair warning to anyone who does not want spoilers, there will be spoilers. if you do not want spoilers, click away now. please enjoy and let me know your thoughts! this is going to be very very long....

CONFIRMED CASTING:

character: emma frost

actress: samara weaving

characters full name: emma grace frost

powers: telepathy and its cohorts, and diamond form/psionic shield (prevents other telepaths from entering her mind)

my thoughts: visually, she fits the part perfectly! i haven't seen anything she's been in but a lot of people are very excited about this casting so i'm excited as well.

character: rogue

actress: inde navarette

characters full name: anna marie (unknown last name)

powers: power absorption (can kill anyone she touches), superhuman abilities, flight (stolen from captain marvel)

character: jean grey

actress: sadie sink

characters full name: jean elaine grey

powers: telepathy and its cohorts, telekinesis, empathy (feels others emotions)

my thoughts: i love sadie sink. she is a fantastic actress and im so excited she's joining the mcu. i have yet to see the new spiderman movie but i can't wait to see her on the big screen.

character: mr sinister

actor: adam driver

characters full name: nathaniel essex

powers: superhuman abilities, telepathy, telekinesis, shape shifting

my thoughts: adam driver can play a villain so well and i'm very excited for this casting!!

character: charles xavier (professor x)

actor: christopher abbott

characters full name: charles francis xavier

powers: telepathy and its cohorts and telekinesis

my thoughts: i'm slightly skeptical about this casting, mainly because i've never seen his acting. once they shave him bald, i think he may look the part but i'm not feeling it just yet.

character: cyclops

actor: kit connor

characters full name: scott summers

powers: optic blast (pure force from a different dimension, not heat or lasers)

my thoughts: i am very very excited for this casting!!!! not only do i love his acting but he looks like cyclops!! 

character: storm

actress: maya boyd

characters full name: ororo munroe

powers: atmokinesis (weather and elements), flight

my thoughts: i believe maya has only been on stage when acting, however i think she will do great as storm. super excited about this one!

character: angel

actor: asa germann

characters full name: warren kenneth worthington III

powers: flight, superhuman abilities

my thoughts: i have yet to see asa's acting (the boys is a show i've been wanting to watch) however, i have hight hopes. again, he definitely won't look like the x-men '97 character design, i just added it for aesthetic purposes.

RUMORED CASTING:

no rumors!

MY CASTING/FAN CASTING:

character: charles xavier (professor x)

actor: bill skarsgård

characters full name: charles francis xavier

powers: telepathy and its cohorts and telekinesis

my thoughts: i think bill would be fantastic as professor x, however he might be too young. we'll have to wait and see, he is also a light rumor!

character: cyclops

actor: drew starkey

characters full name: scott summers

powers: optic blast (pure force from a different dimension, not heat or lasers)

my thoughts: i think drew would be perfect for cyclops. hes got the look and vibes cyclops would need.

character: magneto

actor: jensen ackles

actor: ben barnes

actor: jason segel

characters full name: max eisenhardt (birth name), erik magnus lensherr (alias)

powers: magnetokinesis (metal manipulation), telepathic resistance, astral projection, flight

my thoughts: okay so, jensen would be my pick IF they were going for any actor. however, if they were going for a jewish actor (since magneto is jewish) my next options would be either ben barnes or jason segel.

character: storm

actress: arsema thomas

characters full name: ororo munroe

powers: atmokinesis (weather and elements), flight

my thoughts: arsema was in queen charlotte: a bridgerton sequel as lady agatha danbury. lady danbury is my favorite character of bridgerton and arsema played her amazingly. she would be perfect as storm.

character: iceman

actor: cooper hoffman

characters full name: robert "bobby" louis drake

powers: thermokinesis (temperature), cryokinesis (ice), hydrokinesis (water)

my thoughts: if you see my vision, cooper would be perfect as bobby. i think he would excel here more than as cyclops

character: angel

actor: joseph zada

characters full name: warren kenneth worthington III

powers: flight, superhuman abilities

my thoughts: i think joseph would be perfect as angel. hes an up and coming actor staring in the new hunger games movie, and he was amazing in the 'we were liars' show. again, he definitely won't look like the x-men '97 character design, i just added it for aesthetic purposes.

character: gambit

actor: glenn mccuen

characters full name: remy etienne lebeau

powers: molecular acceleration (kinetic energy charged into objects/people)

my thoughts: im almost entirely certain he doesn't act anymore, but he would be great as gambit. hes the right age, has the look, and was born in louisiana! i don't believe gambit will be in the upcoming x-men movie, however i wanted to cast him anyway!

character: mystique

actress: hunter schafer

characters full name: raven darkhölme 

powers: metamorphosis (becoming anyone)

my thoughts: i think hunter would be perfect as mystique. she plays complicated characters so well. she also probably won't be in the 2028 movie.

character: jubilee

actress: isabella wei

characters full name: jubilation lee

powers: energy plasmoids (fireworks) and telepathy resistance

my thoughts: i've been trying to keep actors and characters ethnicities the same and i think isabella would be perfect as jubilee. both chinese, and isabella was amazing as posy in the 4th season of bridgerton. also probably won't be in the 2028 movie.

character: beast

characters full name: henry "hank" phillip mccoy

powers: superhuman abilities, very very smart, blue

my thoughts: i have no idea who i would want to play beast. he's a difficult character to cast with his looks and his personality. we shall wait and see.
