Lord Zedd: The Gwar-like veiny monster muscle man who replaced Rita Repulsa during the very long first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Back when I was a kid, Lord Zedd was such a badass that I didn’t even realize he wasn’t based on any original Japanese footage. He was an All-American boy. And while seemingly eviler than Rita, (hell, he stuffed her right into that trash can and gave Goldar back his wings) Lord Zedd has a little secret that isn’t often addressed in the world of villainy. In fact, he’s not a villain. He’s an antihero. Why is that,…

Want to be in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie? Think you’ve got the goods to back it up? Then this is the announcement you’ve been waiting for! Avengers 4 is hot on the trail for some quality tush! According to ComicBook.com, a casting call has gone out in Georgia (USA) for “Photo Double” who will work on an “exciting project.” The title of the film is “Mary Lou,” aka the Avengers: Infinity War (and Avengers 4) working title. The measurements for the body double seem to imply a stand-in for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, and the requirement of a photo displaying “full body shot of your back side (Wearing…

Nerdbot would like to thank VIZ Media for providing a review copy of ‘Shortcake Cake Volume 1’ ‘Shortcake Cake’ is a brand-new shoujo (girly) manga series from creator duo Makiro and Nachiyan who together form the alias suu Morishita. It is the story of a short, cute, first year high school student named Ten. Within the first chapter, Ten is convinced by her friend Ageha that taking the bus two hours to school every day is bogus and that she should live in the boarding house. Ten is reluctant and dubious of this new information, but after a visit to…

I’ve had Power Rangers on the brain an awful lot. Sure, it might be because the franchise is a lot of fun! But it could also be because I’m a Megazord collector who will take any opportunity to go toy shopping. And with the show newly in the hands of Hasbro (while keeping Master Yoda himself Haim Saban in a consulting role), it makes for curious conversations about the upcoming treatment of the Super Sentai series we’ve all come to love. Series aside, I’m still blown away that Hasbro wants to make more movies. From the characterization of the “attitude…

According to Mega Man World (or 20XX Times),Capcom TV’s stream just revealed a two solid gold statues of the rockin’ Blue Bomber for an extremely pricey 2,400,000 yen, which is around $21,000.00 USD. If that’s a “little” more than you can afford, or don’t have the fortitude to sell body parts or take out a second mortgage, there is a smaller version going for 690,000 yen, which translates to around $6,200.00. But collectors rejoice! Capcom knows the collection struggle; included in your very expensive purchase are really nice display and storage cases! Wouldn’t these just make the best trophies in video game…

The only thing more exciting than watching Power Rangers is watching that awesome moment when the Rangers’ zords combine and form a huge Megazord. A lumbering robot with an amazing weapon ready to stumble toward the bad guy and kick some Tokutatsu Chogokin ass. But naturally, not all Megazords are created equal. Here’s my list of my Top 10 favorite Megazords of all time. 10) Titan Megazord: Power Rangers Mystic Force Sure, the CG is a little crude, but the end result is just so good. With it’s amazing wing-span and sharp angles, the Titan Megazord is just super cool and clean…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributor piece by Michael Casey. If you’re into parallel universe and fiction bleeding into reality, check out Michael’s book, ‘The Weavers’ on Amazon. Say what you will about Halloween 3: The Season of the Witch; it’s definitely the most unique film in the series. It’s the only one to not feature Michael Myers in a starring role, and it has a distinct atmosphere that is more in line with a Science Fiction movie than a Horror flick. The whole thing focuses on the entwined forces of ancient magic and modern technology. Gone is the masked personification of…

The series’ 30th issue is being celebrated with several pop culture covers, and Dragon Ball Z is getting a big shoutout in one of them.The newest and possibly most awesome of Dragon Ball crossover/mashups hit the internet today and the results were morphinominal.
