Who Would've Thought? / Thank You!

When I started this semester at CSUF, the last thing I thought I'd be assigned was a blog. I've been totally anti-blogging for years, so you could imagine my feelings when I was assigned one...
However, I have had a lot of fun with this assignment and plan to continue it on past the class. I want to keep blogging on here, making video blogs, and doing other fun things like my "Lil Batman" Instagram page.

So, what I'm trying to say is thank you to Professor Scauzillo! Thanks for helping me see how fun blogging can be (even if you marked me down a point on my video blog, which I'm convinced is because you're a Superman fan!).

Now, to the Batmobile!

Awesome Battles!

Hey guys! Check out this series I've been watching on Youtube. Bat in the Sun presents Super Power Beat Down! two heroes, but only one can win!

Super Mega Concerns...

Power Rangers Megaforce concluded, which means that Super Mega Force is on its way early next year! What is particularly exciting about this upcoming season is that all previous ranger powers are to be featured through the use of the "ranger keys." In other words, the current ranger team can utilize and transform into any ranger that came before them. Pretty cool huh?

This season SHOULD be one of the best, but with my knowledge of Power Rangers and my knowledge of Super Sentai's Gokaiger (the Japanese equivalent to this season), there are a few lingering questions I have.

1. Who The Hell is This Guy?!?!?!?

The ranger above shouldn't be familiar to any ranger fans. That's because he isn't a ranger! He comes from the Japanese Sentai Dairanger. With the exception of the first seasons white Ranger and the Mega Zords, Dairanger was never adapted into a Power Ranger season. Yet, the Dairanger suits keep appearing in the commercials and in some of the toy line. I'm interested to see if Dairanger is indeed adapted, but I wonder if it is too little too late.

2. A Random Color Change

The Super Megaforce team is being presented as a "power up" of sorts for the current Megaforce team. Instead of all new teenagers, we get the same group who will morph into their original powers, and then into these powers (according to what the commercial looks like). One problem: Megaforce features a black ranger while Super Megaforce features a green ranger. Whats the explanation? I'd love to know...

3. The Fate of RoboKnight

In the season finale of Megaforce, we see RoboKnight seemingly make a self sacrifice to save the other rangers. However, the ending suggests that RoboKnight was able to get away, we just don't know where. With that being said, and since we know that Gokai Silver will be adapted into the Super Megaforce Sixth Ranger, one has to wonder what the new series has in store for RoboKnight, if anything.  

These are only three of the questions I have. I'm anticipating the upcoming season, but who knows what answers it'll hold.

Waiter! There's an Avenger in my Dole Whip...

Not too long ago, comic book fans everywhere cringed as Disney announced its purchase of the Marvel brand.

We feared the worst...

 ...but it hasn't been so bad so far. Actually, some of it has been kind of cool!

My only request: Keep the heroes away from the theme parks!

The Innoventions building at Disneyland now houses an Iron Man exhibit and a Thor meet and greet. Both attractions are admittedly cool, and I've enjoyed both. Both these interactions were great advertising tools for the release of Iron Man 3 and Thor 2: The Dark World. I have no issue with advertising! An occasional limited time engagement is kind of cool!

What I don't like is the Marvel merchandise that is now sold in the theme park stores. I've always liked that Disney didn't sell stuff that you could find anywhere. Most products were found only at Disneyland, or at least a Disney Store. The Marvel merchandise now sold at the Disney Resort can be found at a local Toys R Us or Target; just sayin...

I love my Disney and I love my comics, but I don't necessarily want them at the same time. The small exhibits are cool, but I fear an eventual "Marvel Land" or a permanent home for the Avengers in Innoventions. 

Deck the Halls with Guts of Reindeer

If you're anything like me (which if you are I'd see a professional...), you love the Holiday season, but your heart still belongs to Halloween...

Fear not my demented little elves!

Sinister Pointe is holding their annual Not so Merry Christmas event December 13th, 14th, 20th, and 21st. 

This event takes the Christmas Spirit and massacres it with the fun and terror of Halloween. fair warning, this event is not for the squeamish, or easily offended. I wouldn't recommend taking children under 13...unless of course you're just that much of a horrible person.

I attended last year and had a blast! I should be there with my girlfriend and hopefully a few other friends on the final weekend.

Video Games and Marching Band?

I'm an Oregon Duck Football fan, but right now my musical heart belongs to Ohio State...

Geeky Things on My Holiday Wishlist

Tis the season everyone! With everyone writing a list to Santa, I figured I should do the same. Here are three things I hope to find under the tree...

 1) Power Rangers Super Mega Force Legendary Morpher

We just saw the conclusion of Power Rangers Mega Force, which means Super Mega Force is on its way early next year. With a new season comes new toys! This ranger team will harness the power of every previous power ranger using their new legendary morphers and the ranger keys...Any hardcore ranger fan should plan to do the same.

 

2) Disney Infinity Figures

 I am a big fan of the Disney Infinity game. I hope to expand my collection of figures with the addition of Rapunzel, Venellope, Buzz, Perry, and Elsa! Some new Power Disks would be awesome too! Waves two and three of the Infinity franchise have too kind to fans of the game.

 

 

3) Man of Steel

I may be a hardcore Batman fan, but even I can admit what an awesome movie this was! This should be a priority on any super geeks movie list.
