As for this comic…
For those who don’t know what Colin is talking about, he’s obviously referencing Flash Gordon – and like a real nerd, he’s not just going from the 80s Dino De Laurentiis remake, but he’s going back to the original 1936 serial. I actually never saw the 80s version as a kid, but I did fall in love with the older serials. They’re great fun – obviously made on a shoestring budget, but also made with love.
That’s some real old, old, old school nerd cred talking there. The pigeonholer has become pigeonholed. Bethany is going down.
I may have been watching too much EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY of late.
Should we ask for Ming vs. Palpetine?
What you mean to tell me that Bethany is nothing more than a wannabe ?
Even I thought she was a true master of being a trivial nerd.
Who knows what nerdity lurks within the hearts of man? The Shadow knows.
OMG, I know the cranston ref, as well as the gordon ref.
Does that mean I am a nerd? Or just really, really f’ng old.
1930 feels like it was just yesterday.
Looks like Colin is going to bring the hammer down on a wannabe nerd. Beat he like a tent stake Colin! Strike a blow for true nerds. Like the ones that KNOW Han shot first and didn’t need to have the Force explained by midi-chlorians
Ming The Merciless was always my favorite title
Really depends. Does Colin know it from the books, the comics, the serials, or that dreadful movie?
Meh,
There’s so many different fandoms out there now that anyone can trip anyone else up by referencing a fandom they may not have heard of before
The correct answer, Bethany, is “Who died and made you the Gatekeeper of Nerd-dom? ”
The state of being Nerd extends to all. It’s within your heart, waiting for a hobby to start obsessing over
The Filmation version of Flash Gordon is the first one I was exposed to, and still my favorite. If you’ve never seen it, you should check it out. Both the series and the movie can be found on Youtube.
