An episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Ninefocused on Ferengi bartender Quark (Armin Shimerman) was inspired by a classic Danny DeVito sitcom. DS9 may have a reputation for being a dark and moody show, but it also gave audiences some of the funniest Star Trek episodes ever made. Many of DS9's comedy episodes focused on the exploits of Quark and his fellow Ferengi, with particular highlights including "Little Green Men" and "The Magnificent Ferengi". It's unsurprising, therefore, that the sitcom genre inspired some of Quark's best DS9 episodes. 5ba61

<![CDATA[Comic God Alex Ross Explains How Every Adaptation Gets Wolverine Wrong]] 12146x /alex-ross-wolverine-adaptations-too-tall-danny-devito/<![CDATA[Alex Schlesinger]]><![CDATA[Comics]]><![CDATA[X-Men]]><![CDATA[Marvel]]><![CDATA[Wolverine]]><![CDATA[Danny DeVito]]><![CDATA[ The acclaimed comic artist Alex Ross reflected on how most Wolverine adaptations refuse to stick to the source material of Logan's first appearance! ]]><![CDATA[

Beloved comic artist Alex Ross, perhaps known most for his illustration work on Marvels (1994) and Kingdom Come (1996), recently gave an interview where he explained how nearly every adaptation of the X-Men gets the character of Wolverine completely wrong.James Logan Howlett, more popularly known as Wolverine, made his first full appearance in The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974). After being picked to the X-Men in the 1975 soft reboot Giant-Size X-Men #1, he quickly became one of the most popular characters in all of Marvel history. Over the past few decades there have been many adaptations of the character Wolverine, in live action, animation, and comics, but perhaps most famous is Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Logan in the Fox X-Men movies, which popularized the common perception that Logan is an incredibly handsome and tall, if not gruff and a bit grungy, heroic character.Related: Alex Ross Shares Incredible Artwork for His Fantastic Four Graphic NovelIn a short clip of a longer interview that Alex Ross shared on Twitter, the acclaimed artist (who uses a unique combination of ink wash and gouache watercolor for all of his beautiful art) shared his feelings on most adaptations of Wolverine. Ross emphasized that almost all adaptation get one core part of Logan's character wrong: Wolverine is meant to be 5' 3", not the tall, drink of water he is most often shown as in media. In fact, Logan's shorter height has always been a key part of the vicious man's tough exterior, clearly making up for some sense of height-related insecurity, so to make Wolverine a tall or even average height truly does take away some key parts of his personality and history. Specifically, Ross postulates that because of how beloved the character is by fans and creators, Logan is rarely drawn or cast as a man of 5' 3", even though that is how the character is meant to look, representing his animalistic nature and connection the very real, ferocious but small animal the wolverine.

Actor Danny DeVito tricked Arnold Schwarzenegger into getting high while filming the 1994 Ivan Reitman comedy Junior, Schwarzenegger recently revealed. Throughout his extensive acting career, Schwarzenegger is most well known for his action movie roles, which helped push the genre into new territory in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. It’s arguable that Schwarzenegger’s action star status reached its peak with the 1992 James Cameron blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but his ability to entertain audiences has never diminished, regardless of genre.
