Doctor Who LEGOs are Happening!

I asked for it years ago, but now LEGO is making it official: Doctor Who LEGOs!

Just like the Ghostbusters last year, this new set comes via the LEGO Ideas crowd-produced program. Basically, LEGO lets fans design and submit their own LEGO models, and then everybody votes for the ones they want. Any idea that reaches 10,000 votes then goes before the LEGO review board and they pick the ones they want to make

And Doctor Who has made the cut!

No details have yet been released, but this is still pretty awesome news!

Though I still haven’t bought that Ghostbusters Ecot-1 set yet…

First Daredevil Trailer is Dark and Bloody!

There’s going to be a Daredevil TV show, people! Live action, potentially multiple seasons, and it’s coming out in April on Netflix! It’s still hard to wrap my brain around this amazing fact! Now we can check out the first trailer!

No red costume yet, but we know it’s coming (hopefully they skip the yellow one)! The show looks dark, gritty, and yet heroic too. I’m really excited for this show – and this is coming from a guy who enjoys the Ben Affleck movie.

What a time to be alive!

6 Ways The Walking Dead Could End

I’m a huge fan of The Walking Dead TV show, and I can’t wait for the show to return this Sunday. But something about the first half-season got me thinking: where the heck is this show going? We’re five seasons into The Walking Dead, and theoretically, this show can’t last forever. It’s got maybe two or three seasons left, according to the lives of most TV shows.

So how is The Walking Dead going to end?

With zombies, probably

It’s an interesting question when you consider that the comic book can go on for much longer. Comics aren’t bound in the same way as TV seasons, and writer Robert Kirkman can just keep writing that comic for as long as he wants, considering how popular it is. But TV audiences are eventually going to get bored of The Walking Dead, right? At some point, the showrunners are going to want to bring it to a close. Breaking Bad only had five seasons. Lost called it quits after six. The Walking Dead has to end sometime.

But how? Join me after the jump for some of my ideas! Be warned, because there will be SPOILERS from the latest episodes.

Iron Man to Appear on Arrow — Oh No, Wait…

So, uh…here’s the first look at Brandon Routh’s Atom on the TV show Arrow.

The poor man’s Robert Downey Jr.

Remind you of anyone else? Like, in a clearly obvious, almost wincing kind of way? Like, in a way that The CW might be paying more attention to Marvel’s movie success than DC’s?

Keep in mind that the Atom, whose super-power is shrinking, does not wear armor like this in the comic. He wears a normal, ordinary spandex superhero costume. The armor has been created for the show. So…uh…does DC Comics know they’re doing this?

Also, way to put zero effort into protecting your secret identity, pal.

Arrow is Treating Sidekicks Right

How great is Arrow these days? The drama is intense, the characters are as strong as ever, and Oliver’s fight with R’as al Ghul was a highpoint of the entire series. But you know what I’m loving the most? Roy Harper, the sidekick!

Arrow is doing almost everything I could possibly want from a superhero sidekick on live action TV.

The awesome costume is a big plus

I never thought we would see the day. I never in my wildest dreams imagined Arrow would follow through with the introduction of Roy Harper and turn him into a solid, successful superhero in his own right. Granted, Roy Harper is kind of a train wreck in the comics, and there is plenty of time for the show to go down that route. But right now, Arsenal is the sidekick superhero I’ve dreamed about.

If only Arrow was actually about Batman and Robin, but we don’t live in a perfect world.

Besides, it’s been done

The only thing Arrow needs to do now is push Arsenal one step further and make it so that he isn’t a complete failure  just because Oliver isn’t around.

Join me after the jump for the full story!
