The New Daredevil Trailer is Chillingly Good!
Somebody get me Netflix on the phone, I need to buy all the subscriptions! The second trailer for the upcoming Daredevil TV show has hit the web, and it is mind-blowingly cool!
Oh man, that was exciting! The characters, the physicality, the Kingpin, the MCU references, the blood, the music, the darkness, the dialogue; it all looks great! I am so pumped for this show. And I am so pumped for it to be amazing. I hope Daredevil really takes off for Marvel and Netflix. I hope people flocked to the show.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is a great time to be alive!

Our First Look at the New Supergirl TV Show!
Rather than let photographic snoopers spoil the secret, DC Comics and CBS have released a few official images of the new Supergirl costume! It looks pretty great! I guess this show is going to be real, and they’re not going to pull any Smallville garbage by saving the super-suit until the final minute of programming. I like that TV shows are embracing the costumes. Filming for the pilot is already underway. The actress is Melissa Benoist.
I like that they gave her leggings and long boots to go along with her skirt. No need for any unnecessary exposed skin. This is definitely a solid costume. It was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow and The Flash, and it would definitely fit into those other shows.
I even like the new S-shield, even if it’s got more blue than normal.
If Supergirl is half as good as Arrow and The Flash, we’ll definitely have the makings of another great superhero show! Consider me finally excited for this show. What do you henchies think?

Someone made a Dragon Ball Z fan film, and you must watch it.
Close on the heels of the recent gritty Power Rangers fan film comes Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope. This fan film was created by “Robot Underdog,” and it’s everything that fans didn’t get from Hollywood’s adaptation of the series a few years ago.
As best as I can abbreviate the series for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Dragon Ball Z is about a group of martial arts experts who have unlocked the vast powers within themselves to battle seemingly unstoppable foes.
The above fan film takes place in an alternate timeline, where a pair of powerful androids have all but wiped out the human race. The younger character, Trunks, will eventually travel back in time to aid the series’s main characters in the present day.
Power Rangers Goes Dark and Awesome!
Someone is clearly reading my blog, because the Internet has produced a dark, gritty Power Rangers fan film that is taking the world by storm! Be warned, this is absolutely not safe for work or kids. It’s got swearing, nudity and violence. But it’s still awesome.
Glorious.
That’s Katee Sackhoff as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, and James Van Der Beek as Rocky the Red Ranger. Entitled Power/Rangers, it’s directed by Joseph Kahn, and you can read an interview he did with Hitflix about the project. This was apparently just a one-off fun thing to do. It’s not for profit, it’s not an audition to direct the new Power Rangers reboot. But it’s definitely a project that shows a gritty Power Rangers reboot would be awesome.
Hats off to everyone involved in this project. As a geeky, nostalgic fan of Power Rangers, this was everything I could have wanted and more.

Congrats to Birdman, Here’s Big Birdman!
I freely admit to being one of ‘those people’ who don’t like awards shows. I don’t rub it in anybody’s face, but I can’t even remember the last time I watched an awards show, if ever. I just don’t care to celebrate celebrity like that, thank you very much. Besides, the winners are announced online the next morning, so I know that Birdman won best picture. I haven’t seen it yet, but now I suppose I should get around to that.
Speaking of Birdman, enjoy this parody, Big Birdman! It’s exactly as it sounds.
I love the Internet. And I love the Sesame Street is finding ways to go viral. They’ve got the Sesame Street muppets, potentially one of the greatest viral opportunities in the world!
