    I only just unlocked Peter Parker's other abilities 🤣

    I spent far too long doing all the random side quest stuff

    I just unlocked the thing where you have to follow the drone with web wings and let me tell you - I HATE that

    Oh man, I just replayed all 3 Spider Man games in order.  The ability to skip puzzles, especially the “follow drone” ones, saved my sanity.

    And also a big fuck you to skill trees.  Especially in a situation like this where it makes zero sense.  By the first game, he’d been Spider Man for five years.  Oh Lordy do I despise skill trees.

    Also, was Kraven’s portrayal in SM2 a clever commentary on those rich trophy hunter types who pay big money just to be shown an animal and handed a gun?  Because that dude didn’t hunt shit.  He had a whole team to put his entire “hunt” totally in his favor.  The one time he faced an enemy without the odds in his favor, he was killed.  Fucking dork.

    American wrestling fans are some of the last holdouts for the shittiest nu-metal/00s “emo”/hard rock and can barely relate to anything that isn’t that that or a familiar song from the radio. Ciampa’s entrance music being exhibit 1. At least “Judas” is semi-ironic hair metal/butt rock.

    I was thinking the exact same thing re: this generation was raised on butt rock; they’re not gonna get into a Mexican ballad.

    Ciampa’s theme rips off Lovin Every Minute of It by Loverboy a little too much for my taste.   Woah oh woah oh

    I’d say unfortunately yes. For me, the bloom fell off his rose with the second Guardians movie, just too much of the stuff that was once clever and different. Now, it just all seems the same formula but with different characters. 

    I didn’t like Suicide Squad at all.  It felt like DC’s Love and Thunder: a talented creative with a good track record, left to his own devices, no guardrails, who ends up making something incredibly self-indulgent and unappealing.  Like “Ragnarok (Guardians) was awesome!  Do it more like that!”  And then, “no…wait…not like that!”

  4. I really enjoyed Superman, love all the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and want to see Supergirl, but is this all Gunn can do?  Everything just feels like a reskinned GotG scene — watch the scene where Mr. Terrific takes down all the Lexcorp guys on the beach and tell me I’m wrong.  Gunn is amazing at hitting that balance of heartfelt, funny, sentimental, downright silly, and big hero shit, but it’s starting to feel one-trick when his DC stuff is looking three for three with the exact same vibe.

    It’s funny because he’s not writing, directing, or producing this, but it feels from the trailer exactly like a James Gunn Movie.  I guess as the “Fiege” of DC his role is to direct the overall creative feel, but this sameness is going to get old.  Fingers crossed for Batman 2.

    They need the lyrics on screen with a bouncing Místico head. Been saying this for months. 

    Spelled out phonetically for anybody who didn’t take the minimum 2 years of Spanish?

    It’s equally funny and sad to see the difference in Mistico’s pop from lucha vs non-lucha crowds.  He walks out in Collision in Winnipeg to crickets and is looking around wondering why nobody is singing.

    I'm hoping Lee Moriarty is a new member of the Syndicate, he's so ready for a major push, and his style would fit like a glove- and it would be nice if they showed MVP/Shelton/Lashley mentoring him how to be more vicious as a way of pushing him.- perhaps clips of Moriarty being trained up in BJJ and Amateur.

    How about Kyle O’Reilly?

    We’re never getting past “New Nation of Domination” levels of discourse, are we?

    Nothing personal against you, I see this everywhere.  Any time two black guys team up, everyone just headcanons them as The Black Stable and speculates about new black members.  It reduces non-white to a gimmick, a part of wrestling’s gross history we should be past by now.  Nevermind the Islander and Latino factions in regressive-ass WWE.  They’ll always be that way.

    It goes both ways, too.  I’m sure Hobbs has gotten nowhere because “we already have Oba Femi!”  And wrestling conventional wisdom is you don’t have two of the same “gimmick” on the same show.

    But it’s also the same fandom that are shipping

    Every time you think you're not normal, or that there's something wrong with you psychologically and that makes you somehow less than, just realize there are people who watch shows and spend an inordinate amount of time fantasizing about the characters in those shows being in relationships with each other.  Like I've got a lot of anxiety and feelings of never being good enough, but holy fuck I'm not spending my days imagining the forbidden love between George Jetson and Mr. Spacely.  Maybe I'm doing alright after all.

    Same facial expression in both pics LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL you know he practiced that look in the mirror for a good while

    The bag of reivnvention tiricks must be getting low when the best he can come up with is "mustache, soul patch, and more Turkish hair."

    Is the new gimmick "recently divorced dad on Tinder?"

    For All Mankind will get a sixth season which will be its last

     

    Another season?  I haven't watched the latest season yet but how much more old man makeup can they realistically pile on Joel Kinneman?

    Did anyone here watch Pluribus?  I watch everything late so I probably missed the discussion of it in November.

    Most streaming of that era was anywhere between 5-10 frames per second, so enough that you could get an idea of what was happening while being chop city.

     

    Are you talking dial-up?  Broadband must have been better, even then, because I remember watching Mania 17 on then WWF's site.  For some reason, I had no access to PPV, but their site offered the show at a discounted rate to stream it, so I borrowed a projector from work to plug in to my desktop PC, and watched it on the wall.

    I agree that he came in with working boots on and had a lot of good matches and really seemed to be having fun early on. I was into it, although I didn’t have any interest or desire for him to have a world title. I think the injury kinda killed his momentum and so many new, young, exciting wrestlers have been added that now he seems like just a nostalgia act. It doesn’t help that there is a growing set of fans who don’t have any ties or nostalgia for that era (I have memories but not nostalgia). Could also be argued he’s actually been an anchor on Christian. I’m sure there will be some wild matches to come, but I also won’t be too upset for him to head off into the sunset.

    Yeah man.  Christian is at least doing interesting, fun character work and trying something different.  Copeland’s just doing nostalgia work and getting doe eyed, “aw shucks” looks while leading singalongs of his butt rock theme.

    He might get kicked out of AEW ala Bobby Heenan his final WWF appearance in 1993. Except instead of just being left outside the building, at the end of a Dynamite or Collision, we just see him with a backpack walk through the roads and streets trying to hitchhike while "The Lonely Man Theme" plays.

    I never knew that was the name of the song, but when I read that sentence, I thought “I bet that’s the song from The Incredible Hulk.”  🤣
