First of all, I want to apologize, as I know I promised this last weekend, but I was too busy. Besides, Christmas isn’t the only holiday for beat downs you know. Get together with the guys on New Years Eve, and next thing you know, someone hits the eggnog a little too hard, and then next thing you know, this happens:

In most cases of zombie media, once you’re bitten by a zombie (either of the viral type or otherwise), you’re pretty much screwed. Zombie plagues break out because generally, there are no vaccines or cures once you’re infected, and infection sets on rather quickly and zombification causes carriers to spread the plague like wildfire. Usually, if you don’t die immediately due to sever wounds, you’re left to degenerate over a period of time until the infection finally kills you and you become the walking dead, if another person doesn’t do you a mercy and take you down before you turn.

Yoda is a pretty cool guy. At first look he’s a gross looking green 900 year old hermit but in reality he’s a gross looking green 900 year old Jedi Master hermit! He is kind of the extreme personification of a wise old man in that his wisdom and age are both beyond anything a human could conceivably achieve. I guess this happens when you teach Jedi for 800 years.

Let’s take a look at Yoda throughout history as we follow him through his various appearances first in the real movies, then in the shitty movies. First let’s look a bit behind the scenes at how he works and what he’s about.

Yoda is a puppet controlled by the great Frank Oz. Check out this outtake of Frank fubbing a line:

In 1994, Marvel did nothing short of the unthinkable. They killed Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-men. They didn’t stop there. They destroyed the X-men as we knew them, throwing the Marvel Universe head first into a universe where one of the X-men’s greatest adversaries was in control. Everything that we thought we had known was wrong, and now, over 15 years later, the effects are still being felt throughout the Marvel Universe. Welcome poweteers, to the Age of Apocalypse.
