@Carterefeupdate Wrong . Best Marvel scene that blows this DC scene away is when Iron man flicked his fingers and said “And I am Iron Man .

An 'Alien' Gargoyle; guards the 12th Century AD, Scottish Abbey...
Paisley Abbey, a Scottish parish church situated on the east bank of White Cart Water in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. It was first built in 12th Century AD. The medieval site is steeped in history, it’s even said Sir William Wallace was educated here. But it’s the abbey’s more recent architectural details that are responsible for drawing sci-fi fans to the site, as an unusual looking gargoyle carved high up on the abbey’s roof is making waves on social media because it mirrors xenomorph creature from 1979 movie Alien.
In 1991, abbey underwent some necessary restoration work. The 12 of its 13 gargoyles were so badly ruined from water damage they had to be removed. The work was carried out by an Edinburgh-based stone masonry company, which replaced the carvings with newer models. Apparently, some of the stone masons had a bit of fun with their creations. One of gargoyles is certainly unique, which is fitting, as medieval tradition holds that no two gargoyles can look same. The creature bears a strong resemblance to H.R. Giger’s Xenomorph from Alien franchise. As films were popular throughout 1980s and early ‘90s, it’s likely one of workers drew a bit of inspiration from its otherworldly antagonist. But this alien being won’t go around stalking and terrorizing any astronauts. Instead, it remains mounted on abbey’s southwestern side, performing its honorable gargoyle duty of warding off evil.
Reverend Alan Birss told BBC News that during a refurbishment project at abbey in early 1990s, 12 medieval gargoyles, which had been on the abbey for hundreds of years had been replaced and he thinks that one of stonemasons must have been “having a bit of fun.” Only one of the original gargoyles remains outside the abbey today to demonstrate how they would have looked originally, before the alien took over. The building’s interior also features medieval grotesques.
Mr. Birss said a stonemason from an Edinburgh firm was contracted to create the new gargoyles when film was “fairly new” but he thinks mason wasn’t deliberately copying alien in the film and it was just a “concept of an alien.” Mr. Birss also said that an internet search showed that someone had pointed out similarity as far back as 1997.
Architecturally, gargoyles are stonemasons’ tools, carved with spouts, which are designed to take water away from sides of buildings, therefore preventing rainwater from eroding masonry and its connecting mortar. Medieval architects sometimes created rows of ‘grotesques’ with water troughs cut in backs of gargoyle and reason these fantastical creatures often look ‘stretched’ is because longer the gargoyle, further rainwater was directed from walls. However, primary application of gargoyle was to illustrate evil through form of tormented looking creature. Itself believed to frighten off evil spirits and protect those that it guards within church.
According to a Historic Environment Scotland document titled, Paisley Abbey, drain measures at least 90m long, up to 2m wide and up to 2.2m high and before archaeologists could access it they had to pump out water. Walls of drain hold stonemasons’ marks, and it was found to contain many items, some of which are now on display in abbey, including: a slate marked with musical notation, which is oldest example of polyphonic music found in Scotland. According to Kenneth Elliot’s 2000 book Musical Slates: The Paisley Abbey Fragments, drain also contained imported cloth seals, 15th Century chamber pots, tweezers and carved bone handles.
The abbey’s most historically significant feature is tomb in choir incorporating a female effigy widely believed to be Marjorie Bruce, mother of Robert II. Opposite Marjorie Bruce lie tombs of Robert III of Scotland and Simon fitz Alan and furthermore, Paisley Abbey is also burial place of all 6 High Stewards of Scotland and wives of Robert II and King Robert III.

A Swedish billionaire has bought 400,000 acres of the Amazon jungle just to protect it. He purchased a logging company that owned the land and shut it down to prevent further commercial destruction.
The man in the photo is Johan Eliasch, a Swedish-British billionaire and environmentalist who made global headlines for taking an unusual stand against deforestation. In 2005, Eliasch purchased 400,000 acres (about 625 square miles) of Amazon rainforest in Brazil—not for profit, but to protect it. The land was previously under the control of a logging company, but instead of exploiting it, he shut the operations down entirely to halt commercial logging.
Eliasch’s purchase was both bold and controversial. Supporters hailed it as a visionary act of private conservation, demonstrating how wealth could be used to shield fragile ecosystems. Critics, however, raised questions about foreign ownership of Brazilian land and whether such actions undermined local sovereignty. Still, Eliasch’s move drew worldwide attention to the desperate need to protect the Amazon, often called the “lungs of the Earth,” which produces 20% of the planet’s oxygen.
Eliasch wasn’t just a businessman—he was also a former special representative on deforestation to the UK government and an advocate for climate action in international forums. His story illustrates the power (and complexity) of individuals stepping in where governments and corporations often fail. One man’s decision quite literally saved a piece of the Amazon rainforest.

While Bad Bunny has dominated global charts, the superstar has not had quite the same success in Brazil, a country notoriously hard for foreign stars to win over due to a devotion to national artists.
