Like your glasses.. much better than my coke bottles
Just passin through..
Nice to meet you..
Nice pic profile but so somber. You are lovely. I enjoy reading your blogs, they are insightful, intelligent and have a delightful "sharp" style.
Be well. Bye bye.
BUT IT'S THERE! :)
I saw your question in the League Lounge, and thought it was great! This is something I had thought about myself, long before they announced “LOEG: Century” which will take place in various parts of the 20th century. I dreamed up pretty damn good modern-day league.
I wanted to share this with you, but didn’t want to clutter up the thread on the League Lounge. So I figured I’d send it right to you.
(Actually this is a slightly modified version of my original team, which DID include a couple movie/television characters... being that the Almanac in LOEG Vol.2 made allusions to “Twin Peaks”, “The Big Lebowski”, and “Doctor Who” but sticking to your rules I’ll just do the characters from novels)
(Also, this list was before it was made clear in “the black dossier” that Mina and Quartermain could live much longer lifespans...)
LOEG of the 1990-2000’s. Working in the same idea that the line separating “villains” and “heroes” is very much blurred. My team (minus Mina, Quartermain, and the TV and movie characters)
- Alan Grant & Ellie Sattler (from Jurassic Park)
- Arthur Dent (provided that this League Story take place in-between “So long and thanks for all the Fish” and “Mostly Harmless”)
- Jack/Tyler Durden (either as an ally, or an enemy, he’s too interesting a character to NOT use)
- Jack Ryan (from the Tom Clancy books, hip-deep in CIA and international secrets, figured he’d be the leader of the group)
- Hannibal Lector (much like how they tolerated Edward Hyde’s horrible behavior, they might also be able to coax Lector into working with them, at least for a time)
- One or all of the “Witches of Eastwick” (get some real magic stuff in here)
- Any of the characters from Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods”. Shadow, Mr. Nancy, Cernobog/Bielbog the Zorya sisters, Eostre... having an actual God on the team would really be something.)
Notes:
- I wanted to reverse-reference things that would lead up to “Blade Runner” (like how Moore had “Campion Bond” who was an ancestor of James Bond...) maybe
- I considered to also enlist the main character from Carl Sagan’s “Contact” but then realized I’ve only seen the film, and haven’t read the book. I don’t know if there are differences between the film and book, so I decided to leave that book alone.
- Harry Potter universe is rich with cool characters, but it’s pretty entrenched in it’s own mythology. No doubt the wizarding world would be referenced in a modern-day League story, but I don’t think there’d be a person on the 1990-2000 League who would be from the HP series.
