But he'd have to lose them sometime

Need to compile a lit of shared universes that worked and were profitable vs all the attempted shared universes that shit the bed. All these bean counters and C-suite failing upwards fuckwads see is Marvel and Star Wars branching out with all kinds of content and making money (and, to be fair, those universes have had their share of crap) and they just direct their creatives to "go make that!," like it's that simple, with zero concept of how much real time and effort went into doing it in a way that created good films and shows that built a universe, engaged people, and made them want to buy in to those universes. Like how the DC universe skipped from step 2 to step 5 with nothing in between and then the studio lamented that nobody cared about the Justice League. These guys are just mining for expansive IP they can whore out with no concept of how to take your time and make it good. It's no wonder they think AI is the future of film; they have no concept of the creative process and likely have contempt for those pesky writers, directors, actors, etc.

Same! I just watched it last night and I was severely underwhelmed. Keeps faith in my hard and fast rule: when a movie starts with more than maybe four production company logos, you’re in trouble. I swear, this had eight or nine.

Rate their fits: Bunkhouse match edition Danielson: gets massive points for the classic “blue jeans with knee pads on the outside” look. Really, the only acceptable bunkhouse/street fight attire. Loses points for wearing his own merch instead of a gimme shirt from the local radio station. Claudio: black jeans and knee pads on the inside. Real fashion faux pas. Shirt came off and he ended up looking like a member of Too Sexy: A Loving Tribute to Right Said Fred. Takeshita: stereotypical gear made him look like a guy you’d dispose of in the first level of Kung Fu. I guess he didn’t want to straight up dress like a Yakuza since he does have to go home sometime. Fletcher: remember when MC Hammer dropped the “MC” and tried to make a comeback with some fake thug 3rd rate West Coast style shit? Fletcher looked like a 90s boy band member trying to get back on track with the same tactic with his yee yee ass haircut and bobo Tims.

Nigel was on point with his weed jokes. “They need to be careful to not roll an ankle, or any other joint.”

Danielson with the braids out and bunkhouse gear looking like he’s ready to drop an outlaw country track.

JR with the look of a man who works for a man who thinks Denny’s can deny service to “undesirables.”

It's been theorized here that the AEW graphics department works like newspapers do for celebs and politicians. They have every conceivable graphic already done and ready to go. Let's just consider that canon. "Hey Bob, it sounds like they're booking Orange Cassidy vs Tetsuya Naito vs Hoodfoot in a Punjabi Prison Match." "Aw man, I made that one last week. Challenge me next time!"

Oh lord why do I ever eat anything by Quest? I just had a Quest protein cookie and it's got so much sugar alcohol in it that it feels cold in my mouth, and it leaves a greasy feeling, too. And 15 grams of protein for 220 calories is a shitty trade-off. Just trash.

So they'll merge it with their streaming platform that I didn't even know existed until I got a PS5?

Remember the good old days when Mrs. Jericho's worst offense was getting pissy on the internet instead of, you know, trying to overthrow democracy?

Gon give it to ya

I just noticed one of the security guys was Calvin Tankman.

She's biracial, so they get a 2 for 1 on their oppression scorecards. If they fill the scorecard, they get a free sandwich from Mission BBQ.

OMG I made that joke about Umaga refusing rehab back in the day. "WWE want me to go to rehab and I said GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH SAMOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Dr. D was too busy with homophobia to get into the finer points of nutrition, and that's a damn shame.

YES. The belt is the exact shape as Cody's tattoo and we know how well-received that's been.

I haven't finished the show yet but here's some random stuff: Excalibur left out the best parts of the "Brody King broke his jaw wrestling" story. He broke a tooth wrestling and the dentist, when pulling it, didn't notice a small jaw fracture under the tooth. So when he pulled it, he broke Brody's jaw. His jaw wired shut, Brody took to pureeing steaks in a food processor to keep his protein up. Loved the Willow/Brody stuff. Someone should have yelled "you can't do that in Oklahoma!" Mercedes came out with a chair, ready to fight, and didn't do her signature pose or dancing. That made her presentation 12,000% better. Her promo was still somewhat forced and wooden but hey, baby steps. I loved Garcia's low effort clip art shirt. What ever happened to FTRcia? How much of Matt's commentary happened during picture in picture? Jericho and Hook is a battle of two guys whose theme music is on my gym playlist, which is weird. Who here knows the answer to where the quote at the start of Electric Head, Part 2 comes from without Googling? (I JUST SAID UP YOURS, BABY) The need to cover brand labels meant that Hook was eating duct tape brand chips Swerve's purple eyeshadow gets bigger every week.

Hire Effy to help out with talent booking and let Nyla win an all LGBTQ+ rumble in Oklahoma Book it as an annual thing. Seriously, just do a Super Queer Bunkhouse Stampede in nothing but red states.

I almost posted something similar but that comes a tiny bit too close into turning Nyla's status into an angle, which has always been distasteful. Seriously, pay the fine and throw in another million. Write a press release about how the extra is for gender affirming care, minority voting outreach, basic literacy, or any other cause these trash human beings are against.

Maybe Vince never knew the concept of pets existed because he was working, lifting weights, and sex pred-ing 168 hours per week. New Peacock reality show as 78 year old Vince McMahon catches up with a new thing he's missed out on in life each week. He could start slow with something like ice cream, then eventually work up to "real human kindness that's not purely transactional."

I've enjoyed both the Atlantic and the Pacific, but Billy remains my favorite Ocean.

LOL the backup catcher. Jesus. "A cisgender kid could be getting that valuable 2 innings every 8th game playing time!" They start this bullshit at the Little League level, too. Which is crazy because even if trans people did have an advantage, it's god damn little league. Who cares? When I was a kid (yeah, 40some years ago), boys and girls played in the same league. Nobody gave a shit because we were just a bunch of kids playing a game.

Adopting out cute animals is the 2024 version of wearing a neckbrace to court?
