The Guidelines To Punishing
Source: Wikipedia
Everybody knows (well, those who allow their minds
to be polluted by pop culture and stuff like that!)
this character called "Punisher"
(once deemed very "cool" by Marvel Zombies)
who has been portrayed by three (3) actors already...

Fascinating!
"Unearthed lying on her side as though in sleep, a single tuft of red hair falling across her head and ragged moccasins on her feet, the Beauty of Loulan is considered to be one of the best preserved mummies ever found. Roughly 3800-years-old and discovered in the sands of Xinjiang province in western China, her emaciated features betray a facial bone structure that is surprisingly similar to Caucasian looking women.
In the late 1980's, perfectly preserved 3000+-year-old mummies began appearing in a remote Chinese desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features and didn't appear to be the ancestors of modern-day Chinese people.
In a find that could turn conventional history on its head, scientists using genetic testing have discovered that Caucasians lived in western China's Tarim Basin a thousand years before East Asians arrived.
A team of American and Chinese researchers working in a laboratory in Sweden used DNA samples to date and profile her mummy, confirming she and other mummies are of Indo-European descent.

It is not only her carbon-dated age that makes her a famous mummy, the Beauty of Loulan has become an icon of the Uyghur people. She is claimed to be their ancestor and has been titled as the mother to their nation; her reconstructed face now adorns many national Uyghur posters.

I dunno... we can languish over "who she was" and "how she got there" but

1984
So... We're hearing that Patty & Gal
didn't do so well in their redux...?
*WW84* isn't all that it
could have been/promised to be?
Maybe it is due to it
having only ONE song from 1984
in its entire soundtrack - and it is this:
WOW.
That was... underwhelming!
(In spite of the daring bits there,
for its day and prudish age;
such as the protruding ones
seen in this shot, screenshot
for your convenience
(since fickle YouTube might
take it down any second now!)
#ButThatIsAnotherStory
No, really...
PATTY should have gone
WITH THIS SONG INSTEAD:
It tells the same basic tale as her film
(heck - even features a lookalike
of Chris Whatsisname; Steeeeve!!!)
it's from the repertoire of a far more
legendary band (the Moody Blues)
and it represents the spirit of the 80s
far better... IMHLO
(In My Humble Luminous Opinion!)
WHO CARES IF IT CAME OUT
EXACTLY IN 1984 OR NOT!?
What's more important here:
historical accuracy in a fictitious work
or artistic integrity and LOGIC!?
Never mind - yeah...!
SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED...
...yeah, okay - make it the original version!
... for BOTH "Diana Prince"
and "Barbara Minerva" need an answer
to that most anguishing question!
FAST!!!
