Hulk Smashed

I just saw Avengers 2 and liked it, because I am a nerd.

If you are into "normal" movies, I'm not sure why you'd like it.

But then, these movies are now making many billions, collectively.

Did you know Marvel is telling a story spread out over like 20 movies? Something like this has never been attempted in cinema before, and so far it's WILDLY successful.

I think back to my comic book nerd reading past when I had to hope the LaVerdiere's drugstore had Thor #288 on that rickety spinning comic book display hidden over by the magazine rack. And they often didn't.

But now? It's like we've been transported to some reality where comic books are real and everyone lives in a comic book. It's amazing and Strange*












*Dr. Strange the movie coming to theaters June 2018.

The Long Con

Heed my warning, and heed it well: The Con is spreading. ComicCon, where people dress up like comic characters. It's spreading more and more into the real world and I bet soon enough you will see a Stormtrooper or Boba Fett or a Wookie family celebrating Life Day.

Happy Life Day!

Beware!

Head Canon

"Head Canon" refers to the creation of an alternate universe of fictional characters that exists only in your head. Sometimes this hews close to the original work of fiction (for example, instead of the Emperor dying at the end of Jedi, in my "head canon", he lives), or sometimes is dramatically different.

Such as the wedding of Mrs. Doubtifre and Boba Fett, officiated by Batman.

Why?

Who knows. Just roll with it - it's the Internet, Danny.

Till Death

A more accurate version of nerd love. Isn't it sweet? Having the proposal in the comic book store ensures you'll remember it forever.

True Love

FW:FW:FW: this to all your Aunts on Facebook! This lucky frog hit the jackpot - true love exists!

Sincerely, I'd marry for money in a heartbeat, because it would be true love - I'd love the money.

Date Night

Roger and girlfriend from Canada at Roger's favorite game store.

Later, for dinner. Check out this fancy spread!

Nerdology

Our Nerd Lord is a trinity of Nerdly Nerds, though this trinity is of course but One True Nerd.

Accept our offering of cheeseburger and french fry pizza, O Nerd Lord.

Nerd Honor

Besmirch at your own risk, to be honest.

EU No More

Disney bought Lucasfilms a few years back now for a cool 4 Bill, and said they're making more Star Wars movies. I'm excited, but I'm a nerd. But not the nerdiest of the Star Wars nerds, by far. For example, I own no toys or costumes.

I do own a few books, they're fun and light and exactly what you think they are. Sci-fi fluff in the Star Wars universe.

But alas! These books created CANON - that is, the history of a fictional universe - and the nerds live in this CANNON and every word of it is truth.

So, when Disney said they were discarding all previous Star Wars CANON other than what has appeared in the films, the hard core nerds freaked out. OUTRAGE! STAR WARS IS DEAD! Really, it's hilarious.

As, above, a nerd prepares to burn some of his EU (Extended Universe - CANON) books (I'm sure he has hundreds more).  Hurts so good.

May the Fourth be with you

As a sign of nerds ever increasing power in society, we now have the mainstream acknowledgment of May 4th as "Star Wars Day", due to the pun "May the 4th be with you". Haha, right?

So, add it to your calendars, folks. Picard Day is coming up in June, and Sagan Day is in November.

Any other nerd days of note? I'm sure I'm missing some.

Not a drill

Please note, this is not a NASA security guard.

Just some nerd playing dress up. Isn't it grand fun?

That was easy

Guns fix every problem right up, quick and simple.

Journalist of the Revolution

That's not Leo Tolstoy, but rather Glenn Beck, speaker of truths. I don't know why the Pony is there. But behold the truth about the so called "Democrats":

As you can clearly see.

Wake up people, it's time to act!

Um, no.

That's more like it!

Mint Condition

The hound is long past sell date, but some of those Ponies on the top shelf are still in the original packaging and worth a pretty penny, trust me.

Nerd approved! I'll buy everything.

He Died as He Lived

Surrounded by My Little Pony merchandise. Egads!

But let us not forget the many other subgenres of nerds. Behold, the Warhammer model nerd:

It's the little joys that make our lives rewarding.

Right?

Mutation IS evolution

Adult MLP fans need to be rounded up and put into brainwashing camps, in order to cure them of this dread contagion. MLP!

What happens to MLP addicts. Don't let this happen to your kids. Stop the MLP.

Implicit Patriot

Can you judge a book by its cover?

Consider in this case the cover is a Waifu pillow surrounded by dozens of high powered guns.

Nothing troubling about this, right?

Just Amendments 1 & 2 brah.

Loose Gang Affiliations

Both the Bloods and the Crips agree: Don't mess with "The Fucking Killas".

Hard core bangers from deep in the 'burb.

Meanwhile, in Eternia

A He-Man of 1983, for real. He lived at Chess King, and wow did he get all the ladies, as you can see in this literal depiction of Prince Chess King.

His power went beyond his muscles and dragons - if you wore his clothing brand, you gained some fraction of his He-Manly aura, which surely would do your sad self wonders at the mall on Saturday night.

The Resistance Continues

Exile has been difficult for Skeletor, the rightful ruler of Eternia. But rest assured, while Skeletor still breathes, he will fight to regain his rightful crown. Join Skeletor, and victory is assured!
