Gambar
Action figures are big business and have a long history. Way back in 1964 Hasbro was the first company to refer to the masculine toys as "action figures" instead of "boy dolls". Today the toys are a staple of kid's toys for boys and girls. Last year Avengers: Endgame was released and broke box office records. The most popular scene was the one where Captain America ( Chris Evans ), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), and Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) fight Thanos (James Brolin). The big moment comes when Thor's hammer smacks Thanos in the face and he turns to see an unexpected hero return to the fight. A lot of people are spending their time in isolation reading books and watching movies. But one fan has gone further. Roven Matthew Servando lives in the Philipines and used his Marvel Avengers: Endgame  movie figures to recreate the epic scene where Thanos fights Iron Man and Thor. He shared it on his personal Facebook account. It's set to the sound from the movie...

Merriam-Webster defines an accent as "a way of speaking typical of a particular group of people and especially of the natives or residents of a region".

There are a ton of fictional alien languages too and the most notable is Klingon. An alien race that doesn't have a spoken language is Betazed. Betazoids are a telepathic civilization that can read minds, so they don't need a language. But some learned English and one very famous Betazoid is counselor Deanna Troi of the USS Enterprise-D . She's played by the British-Greek actress Marina Sirtis. During her run on Star Trek: The Next Generation she used a very unique and exotic-sounding accent.

There are many weapons in the science fiction universe. But the most unique and iconic of weapons is the lightsaber. It was first seen in Star Wars back in 1977. Creator George Lucas wanted to refer back to the swashbuckling days of Errol Flynn. So he created what he originally called the "laser sword". The typical lightsaber is shown as a glowing blade of plasma contained in a magnetic field.
