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.
Dorkly Knows Superheroes
Dorkly is usually all about video games, but they understand superheroes too, and are just saying what we’re all thinking.
For my money, Captain America: Civil War is easily going to trounce Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
And on a personal note, sorry for being so quiet this week, everything! I’ve been pretty busy, and I might have some good news on the horizon! I’ll let you all know when and if I can!

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!

Lord of the Rings Finally Explained!
The Internet can be so helpful sometimes!
Thanks, CGP Grey, that was a load of help. I’ve never read any of Tolkien’s books, but I love The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and quite honestly, I suppose I don’t really know why the One Ring is the way it is. This video really helped clear everything up in the way that only the Internet can.
He’s also got a second video detailing the origins of the various races of Middle Earth!
