Why Marvel Movies Reign Supreme
When it comes to superhero movies, there is only one franchise that sits alone at the top. Marvel movies have set themselves apart from their DC Comics counterparts. And they do it in so many ways, which is why today we wanted to spend a few minutes looking at the ways that make Marvel movies reign supreme over any other superhero franchise.
Character Introduction
Introducing characters is one of the most important aspects of any comic book franchise feature film. Have you ever wondered why big-box retailers carry more Marvel t shirts than anyone else? Because their characters are done far better than any other franchise. Marvel takes the time to give every character their own film from Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, and Thor all had their own movies before they came together for Avengers films. While DC Comics only gave Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman their own films before Justice League.
Writing is far better.
When it comes to 2, comic books are filled with all the backstory any writer could ever want. But Marvel seems to find the better writer to capture their superheroes on screen. They play more in genuine, authentic dialogue and give them far deeper motivations, fears, and shards of glass to explore and play with. Whereas DC seems to want to bring back the 90s action movie cheese any chance they get. Their dialogue and story are all on the nose and predictable. Not that we don’t know what will happen in Marvel movies, but we actually enjoy the ride the entire time without rolling our eyes. That’s why we go out and buy the Marvel shirts after every new movie that comes out!
The Villain Makes The Movie
For instance, in the Justice League movie, the villain is the same one that moviegoers have seen for years over and over again—an alien that wants to take over the earth. There’s nothing there that inspires us. But in Marvel movies like Avengers Infinity War, while Thanos is an alien set out to destroy the universe, he’s also trying to save half of it. And he’s doing it all in the only way he understands how to do.
We have the Marvel t-shirts with all your favorite, funny, and awesome Marvel heroes on them in a massive selection for you to choose from. Show your support with your favorite Avenger with our Marvel shirts today!
Who are the strongest Dragon Slayers—Let’s set the record straight, then find our favorite Anime t-shirts.
When it comes to Anime, there really is nothing better than Dragon Slayer. Watching the journey through every episode of these powerful Dragon Slayers utilizing the Lost Magic to consume the element they wield is amazing! It’s why we bought our first Anime shirt anyway, and why today we wanted to run through who we think is the most powerful form weakest to strongest!
And then, because everyone needs their own Dragon Slayer t-shirt, we’re going to tell you where you get your favorite Anime shirts and graphic tees with all your favorite Slayers on them.
Weakest
In our humble opinion, Erik, while he was one of the original Dragon Slayers and one of the most powerful ones, he hasn’t really received any powerups like the others throughout the series. He is still a fan favorite, though.
Next, Wendy Marvell was way too young when she first came into the series, which would naturally make her not as advanced as the other slayers. Then came the one-year time jump, and she was accessing dragon force like it was her business and slaying Ezel and Irene at every turn.
Getting Stronger
Gajeel Redfox, when first introduced, was quite the badass and very strong. He kept progressing and powering up throughout the series and defeated a boosted rogue after consuming his shadows. You all remember when he defeated one of the strongest demons at the 9 Demon Gates? He’s always been one of our favorites, and we have a massive collection of anime t-shirts featuring Gajeel.
God Serena is a mighty, second-generation dragon slayer and, as you all know, wields the power of eight different dragon lacrimas. When we first met him, he was the strongest mage in Fiore and still grows throughout every episode.
Strongest
Acnologia has defeated more dragons in his life throughout the series than any other dragon slayer. Including that time, he destroyed the fire dragon king Igneel. How cool is it that he bathes in the blood of the dragons he slays to become stronger?! That is utterly badass if you ask us.
Every Dragon Slayer fan has their own list of which slayers are the most powerful, but they all love the series. And so do we. That’s why we love being friends with the guys at Anime Shirt club, a new site that will send you a super cool officially licensed from great shows like Demon Slayer, JoJo, Trigun, Cowboy Beebop, DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, and many other great ones. Check it out today.
The Beauty of a Good Meme Shirt
Everybody loves memes, even when they hate them. While they have grown in popularity online, memes are invading the real world, as well. Meme T-shirts are growing in popularity, and the cool thing about them is they can be customized. Fans of memes put their own spin on them to create merchandise, and it’s a way for them to express themselves with internet culture. Let’s look at what memes are and how they work at t-shirts.
What is a Meme?
To start, memes are usually a photo or video that is humorous in nature. They are spread on social media like Facebook and Instagram. Since they are one image, they are easily shared and usually cater to certain demographics, which creates many subgroups of memes. Anytime your friend sends you a funny and relatable picture, it’s probably a meme.
Sense of Community
Even though the term ‘meme’ is universal, not all memes are a shared experience. Wearing a meme t-shirt allows others who are a fan of the meme to know you’re in on the joke. It can provide a sense of community, bringing the internet into the real world.
For example, if you are wearing a shirt with a meme on it, and someone recognizes it, then a conversation can start. Who knows, you might make a new friend! Wearing meme t-shirts is a fun way to share images you enjoy.
Express Yourself
If you have a hard time finding designs on t-shirts that you enjoy, but you love memes, a meme shirt is the perfect solution. There are endless websites that you can choose designs from 
and find your favorite memes. Meme t-shirts are a great way to showcase what you like through your style.
Graphic t-shirts have always been in style, and memes are typically single images that will translate perfectly onto a t-shirt. Artists create images inspired by memes, giving meme lovers lots of options when it comes to meme t-shirts.
Easy on the Wallet
Typically, meme t-shirts will cost much less than designer graphic tees. Smaller businesses will have designs that you can choose from, and you can pick the style of shirt you’d like it on. You’re not paying for a name brand, so you can usually get a couple of shirts for the price of one from a department store.
Simple Designs
Memes are typically one simple image. Either a photograph, an illustration, or a phrase. Simple designs are perfect for t-shirts. They can be screen printed on easily and look great. They 
can be easily deciphered, so others can enjoy your meme t-shirt as well. Meme t-shirts give you room to customize the style, it doesn’t have to be exactly like the meme.
Conclusion
To sum it up, meme t-shirts work for several reasons. They’re a fun way to share funny images with each other off the internet, and a good way to express yourself. Creating meme t-shirts is a way for artists to share their interpretations of memes and give meme lovers a way to wear their memes in style.

Resident Evil Resistance Review
Resident Evil Resistance really wasn’t the game we wanted. After the excellent re-release of Resident Evil 2, any new title looked poor. So the announcement was received with disdain by the players.
On the other hand, after Capcom confirmed Nemesis ‘return, Resistance was quickly eclipsed from gamers’ memories. In fact, the game has even disappeared a little from the collective mind. A few months later, we finally got our hands on Resistance and Resident Evil 3, so it’s time to draw some conclusions.
Resident Evil 3 being a bit short and unfortunately unable to recreate the magic of the original game, it is obvious that Resistance serves as a consolation to consolidate the overall proposition of the game. On the other hand, to our surprise, it does not stop at this reason to be. We must admit having had a great time on this multi opus.
Even though the two are sold together, Resistance stands apart. Ironically, it might have been better if the game was included in the menus of RE3 for the latter to feel more fleshed out. So what is this multiplayer experience that works but nobody asked for? We will explain to you.
Using the same engine as RE3, this is a third-person, 4v1 multiplayer game. Graphically, it is as stunning as its opposite solo and even includes certain areas of the main title. But the graphics and sound qualities are already hallmarks of Resident Evil remakes since RE2, so let’s get to the interesting stuff.
Right now, you can choose between six different Survivors and they each have their own abilities. Becca excels with firearms, Valerie is a careful and Samuel is quite a melee-oriented. We are especially fans of January who has the ability to hack cameras and is a fan of explosives. All have their positive and negative points and interesting thing, at the start of a game, you can only choose from 4 of the 6 characters.
Video Game T-shirts are available
Everything is based on cooperation. Each part is divided into zones and you must work with your allies to move from zone to zone and complete the objectives (find a magnetic card for example). To summarize, the game consists of completing small puzzles to get out of one section and move on to the next, all while facing hordes of the living dead, naturally.
If one team member decides to go it alone, it just might hurt the rest. We mentioned a 4v1 mode, didn’t we? This is because against these four survivors stands a fifth player, in the skin of the “Mastermind”, the Brain. An evil genius who has at his disposal a number of traps and a small army of zombies to launch on the survivors. You will be able to choose from familiar faces such as Annette Birkin, who has the ability to unleash William on other players.
The Brain spies on survivors through security cameras much like Five Night at Freddy’s. Your trap options are displayed as cards. You choose what you want to lay, such as infected soil, and position it where you think it will be most useful.
There is a whole range of traps and enemies that you can deploy. A thick brute that can tank multiple hits; fast attack dogs that are hard to hit or crawling zombies that crawl on the ground and grab your ankles. After a while, you will be able to use the unique character in your Brain, and even take control of it.
Video game Shirts are available
Another very nice element in Resistance is the level system. Nothing new, of course, but it sticks well to the experience. Your characters (good and bad) can all be upgraded. Each character has a special ability, for example, Becca can channel her focus to perform a more precise shot. These abilities can be improved before games, but also during the game thanks to the money you collect while fighting.
And that’s the core of the game. Four players push their way through the hordes while a fifth tries to stop them. Despite this rather simple format, Resistance does it all in a nice way that helps extend the life of the RE3 experience.
Given that it’s available directly with the remake, it would be silly not to at least take a look at Resident Evil Resistance. We wouldn’t recommend it to you as an argument to buy the pack but if you’re hesitant to take RE3, this multi feature should be able to tip the scales. To sum up, if you’ve purchased Resident Evil 3, don’t overlook Resistance, it might surprise you.
Why Music Shirts Make All the Difference
When it comes to showing off your style to your friends or rockin’ out in your favorite gear, there can be no better way to show off your style than with rock t shirts. Music is one of the best ways to show off not just your style but how you dress, act, and the friends you make.
Music matters. It’s a universal connection that we all share. When one song comes on the radio, it can change your entire world in a moment. You hear that one song come on and start rocking out like a crazy person, crying because of the memory it brings back, or even sharing in laughter with your friends over some great time out you had.
Rock t shirts are a great way to add that little extra pop to your favorite outfit. Pair a Led Zepplin t-shirt with your favorite pair of ripped jeans and a jean jacket. Or rock out with Aerosmith rock and roll graphic tees, slacks, and a blazer. The great thing about music shirts is that they can add that pop of style and expression for anyone, no matter the occasion.
The Raging Nerd loves adding a little personality to a night out with a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt that shows our love of a great guitar riff. Every time we do it, it’s a natural conversation starter that makes some of the lasting friendships we have.
Music shirts can instantly turn a stranger into someone you’re getting lost in conversation with about your favorite concert memories, best album releases, and much, much more.
But where on the internet can you find every rock t shirts you could imagine without having to be let down like you are when you go to your favorite retailer? The Raging Nerd has come to trust sites that take the time to understand our music fandom and ensure that they put together every shirt that we didn’t even know we wanted until we saw it in their store.
Music nerds the world over understand what it means when you add that pop of personality to an outfit with your new favorite rock band graphic tee. It just makes you feel more like yourself. Your favorite music and rock bands are an integral part of your soul. Music speaks to you, and there’s no better way to speak your soul to the world than with your favorite band on a rock shirt.
Godzilla King of the Monsters
With the new Godzilla vs. Kong movie release right around the corner, we know you want to nerd out and get yourself a Godzilla shirt. Nothing wrong with that, you’re getting in the spirit. With movie theaters either being closed or having limited capacity, there’s a good chance you’ll have a Godzilla screening home, so you can be as ridiculous as you want about it. Themed snacks, outfits, drinks, whatever.
While we’re talking about Godzilla, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Godzilla has been around for 66 years and films are continuing to be made. It’s one of the longest running film franchises in the world! That type of history warrants a Godzilla shirt or two.
History of Godzilla
To start, Godzilla is a Japanese monster that first came on the scene in Godzilla released in 1954. Back then, Godzilla was kicking butt in black and white, and was crowned “King of the Monsters.” Since then, Godzilla has appeared in 39 movies. Of those films, 32 were produced by Toho Ltd, a Japanese production company and 7 of them in Hollywood.
Godzilla is a gigantic prehistoric creature resembling a dinosaur and is powered by nuclear radiation. He’s no fire breathing dragon, that’s a nuclear radiation beam shooting out of his mouth! Way cooler, right? A perfect image for that Godzilla shirt you’re thinking about buying from us.
It’s said that Godzilla was created as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, which coincides with the timeline. The Godzilla franchise began right around the time of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other speculations suggest Godzilla symbolizes the United States and the havoc wreaked on Japan. Godzilla is also depicted as an antihero that works to save humans from destruction.
What’s Godzilla’s Deal?
If you’re not familiar, Godzilla is always swooping in to save the day. He’s typically fighting another massive monster like King Kong, who he will be facing again this March. Why is Godzilla always fighting some other gigantic monster, you ask? Well, it varies from film to film.
While sometimes it seems like Godzilla is protecting the humans, that’s not really what’s going on. Godzilla fights against common threats with humans, but at the end of the day Godzilla will turn against them. Godzilla does not, however, eat people. Godzilla also would not care that you’re wearing a Godzilla shirt to his movie premiere.
Why Should You Buy a Godzilla Shirt?
To sum it up, Godzilla is cool. The King of the Monsters is one of the most recognizable images of Japanese pop culture. Even if you haven’t seen any of the movies, you’d recognize a Godzilla t shirt. With such a robust history and change in design, there are so many styles to choose from.
Whatever Godzilla shirt style you choose to nerd out with is sure to pay homage to the reptilian titan just fine. So grab your shirt, some snacks and sit back to enjoy the newest installment of the Godzilla franchise in your brand new Godzilla shirt.
Bruce Lee – The Greatest Martial Artist in History
Bruce Lee (Lee Siu Loong) was born in San Francisco, California, in 1940 when his parents were on a theater tour. Finally, Bruce Lee, who grew up in Hong Kong, is a child actor and has starred in more than 20 movies. Bruce started to learn Wing Chun Kung fu at the age of 13 under the master of Wing Chun, Yip Man.
Early Life
Bruce Lee left Hong Kong at the age of 18 and went to the United States to work in a restaurant with family and friends in Seattle, Washington. He immediately enrolled at the University of Washington to pursue a degree in philosophy. Bruce began teaching Kung fu in Seattle and soon opened his first school, the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute. Subsequently, there were two other schools in Auckland and Los Angeles. At the same time, Bruce married his wife Linda and had two children, Shannon, and Brandon. In the mid-1960s, Bruce was discovered at the Long Beach International Film Festival, followed by Kato’s role on the television series The Green Hornet. During this time, Bruce also developed his martial arts, eventually naming it Jeet Kune Do.
Bruce’s art has penetrated the foundation of philosophy and has not followed the long-term martial arts tradition. On the contrary, its core idea is directness, simplicity, and personal freedom. After canceling the “Green Hornet” series, Bruce faced resistance while working in Hollywood, so he went to Hong Kong to seek a film career. Where he made three films, broke all box office records, and performed martial arts in a whole new way. Today, Bruce Lee’s legacy of self-expression, equality, and pioneering innovation continue to inspire people worldwide.
Breaking Box Office Records
Lee signed a deal for two films and eventually took his family to Hong Kong. Big Boss, also known as the “Fists of Fury” in the United States, was released in 1971 and portrayed Lee as a worker who has sworn off fighting yet enters combat to tackle a murderous drug smuggling operation. Combining his athletic ” smooth Jeet Kune Do ” (Jeet Kune Do) with his high-energy drama in “The Green Hornet,” Lee is at the heart of the film and Hong Kong’s appeal. The record that created it with the new revenue box office of. Li’s next film, Fist of Fury (also known as China Connection (1972)), broke these records and, like Big Boss, received negative reviews from critics when it was released in the United States.
Bruce Lee T shirt
If not shirtless, Bruce Lee would often wear a white round neck T-shirt with three buttons on the front. The symbolic image of the 1970s made this discreet and lightweight Bruce Lee shirt famous all over the world. That popular cotton garment was made in Hong Kong, and it still does. Before starting to wear kung fu movies, Bruce Lee T Shirts were considered undergarments. No one wore them, but Bruce Lee decided to wear them as tops.
Death
Hollywood caught people’s attention, and Bruce quickly co-produced the first Hollywood / Hong Kong film called Enter the Dragon. Unfortunately, Li died in 1973, before the film was released. This film made him internationally famous.
Why Alien Is Better Than Aliens And How I Got The Alien T-shirt To Prove It
Fans the world over love Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise of films, but one thing that fans cannot agree on is whether Alien or Aliens is better. The age-old debate of whether or not the sequel is better than the original. Many fans will rant about why the sequel is actually better than the original Alien, while the reverse is true of others.
But we here at TheRagingNerd.com believe that comparing Alien to Aliens is like comparing, for lack of a better analogy, apples to oranges. Alien works on such an excellent level because it’s a horror film, while Aliens straight up changed the genre to an action movie.
Today, we wanted to look at some of the things that set Alien apart from all its other sequels and prequels.
No one does pacing for a film like Ridley Scott. He’s a straight-up master of pacing. And in Alien, he masterfully builds the suspense all the way up till the infamous chest-burster scene. He gives us time to get to know the characters we know we’re going to probably watch die, yet it still works. The first film in this series is a mastery of all things pacing.
When it comes to feeling like you are actually in the film and on the spacecraft, Alien surpasses Aliens by far. Ridley Scott and his cinematographer Derek Vanlint brought such a unique look and feel to every shot within the ship. And even when the characters were outside on the planet’s surface, they could stand alone as dazzling, futuristic cinema. The way he shot the film just brings us so deeply into every scene that it can’t be beaten.
Not the overacting, cheesy one-liners that most ‘80s movies were peppered with, but with Alien, it was the kind of acting that is so subtle it works. The acting through every scene in this movie for all of the characters was done so that it brought us even more deeply into the film. They didn’t waste breath on catchy one-liners but instead spoke when they needed for full effect.
Now, as to how I got an Alien t-shirt to show for it… well, wouldn’t you want to rock out to your next party with an Alien shirt? You never know when you’re going to need to distract from the Alien exploding from your chest!
What makes Alien the better of the two films for you?
It’s No Mistake That JAWS Still Holds Up as a Horror Movie
When it comes to horror movies, suspense is number one. The same goes for shark movies, and JAWS for years has been one of the most suspenseful films there is. Shark movies come and go, but this IS the shark movie. Every shark film to come out instantly gets compared to JAWS, and for a good reason.
Can you remember the last time that two simple notes invoked such a feeling of fear and dread for what is coming? We can’t either, and TheRagingNerd.com wanted to take a little time to dive into why we think this film still holds up as the best shark and horror films of all time.
So why has this classic stood the test of time with a market so over-saturated with content? For starters, most horror films aren’t really all that good. But even if you’re not a horror film nerd, you’ve probably still seen JAWS. Especially if you great up in the ’90s and went to the beach with your family! The way that director Steven Spielberg builds the tension every time the camera goes underwater still sends chills up our spines every time we watch it. Whether there will be an attack or not, the way he moves the camera chooses the shots, all invoking absolute terror in the audience. Simply, he’s a master at this.
Now, back to the two notes thing. John Williams score is one of the most genuinely dynamic and iconic composers in film history. Two notes to bring complete terror to any viewer, repeatedly repeated, building to the moment of attack. Are you kidding?! Impending doom in two notes, brilliant.
You’d think about how often the mechanical shark malfunctioned while filming, which led to the production going over budget and schedule for months. Yet Spielberg still managed to get the shots he needed to keep this metal shark alive and eating on screen.
But to have something last so long in audiences’ minds the world over, it needs to have that pop culture feel to it. This is one of the biggest reasons we believe JAWS has held up as long as it has. Of course, there are the scares, the famous way Spielberg likes to give you just enough on-screen to let your imagination run wild, and the tension to make this a great horror film.
Pop culture rules all, and JAWS has been referenced in everything from Back to The Future II, the iconic poster, or even JAWS t-shirts that you see your friends wearing. Merchandising is everything, and JAWS graphic tees, hoodies, posters, and more keep this film and all the nostalgia that comes along with rocking out in your favorite graphic tees from this Spielberg classic!
Because it’s Spielberg, you already know that the story will hold the test of time. Which JAWS does just that with the story. One where we connect with the characters deeply and hope they survive the wrath of the murderous shark!
The story is everything, and JAWS is the king of all shark movies for these reasons and so many more.
But for now, let’s all go take a dip in the ocean together, shall we?
