Latest Invincible episode was good. I forgot Anissa came in that early. Wasn't expecting her until the war. I love that they adapted the comic con panels joke to animation. It was done so perfectly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelyne_Pryor Its Goblin Queen.

Hunters won Guardian Games by one silver medal. All three classes tied for gold medals. Warlocks turning on Titans in that final week worked in Hunters' favors.

Was never big on the Maddie story though I did enjoy what they generally did here. It did feel weird though to see Morph change into Ilyana/Magik since I think she was still a young girl in the 90s show when Colusss showed up.

And to think Datto just got Cross to clean some of his vault via gameshow. Finished up the stream. For all intents and purposes Into the Light, loot wise, is complete and utter bribery of the community by Bungie. The returning weapons will basically be the strongest they ever were sans Luna's Howl and Recluse. Even those are be maybes depending on how strong the first column perks ares when attached to Master and Magnificent. 3 raid weapons, including 2 from a still active raids. And finally they bring in an all black shader that isn't memento tied. All of this is bribery, and I'm perfectly ok with that. I just wish a new version of Gnawing Hunger would be implemented as well. The new social space feels like a combo of Zur's and Leviathan's. Hall of Champions is a neat idea, and I kind of wish they had in already. I'm sure some are pissed it isn't the old Tower, but if that returns it will almost certainly be in the Final Shape and probably still changed a good deal.

Very much looks like them taking favorites from over the years for this update. I like it though it feels weird that raid weapons are included though I'm not complaining.

Opening segment with Cody and Rock was decent. JD/Ricochet was good with Dom continuing to be a well used prop/heta magnet in Judgement Day matches and segments. I thought the Punk segment was by far the best he has looked since his return talking wsie. He seemed to feel so much more comfortable and I dug the barbs between him and Drew. I know they wanted to bring it back to the title match with Seth, but I really wish they let Drew murder Punk for the heat and run off from Seth. Ivy/Candice was another short match just further getting across the Candice heel turn. DIY vs. New Day was pretty nice up until the Judgement Day run in and beatdown on everyone.Awesome Truth were fun on commentary, and I loved Truth trying to stay out of the beatdown until Judgement Day dragged him in. Andrade/Vinci was a nice showcase for Andrade. The Becky/Rhea segment was solid. Was good to see them finally come to blows and Dom was once again well used. Still they have to understand there is basically no way the audience will look at Rhea as a heel properly. They really need to turn her face when this is all said and done. Sami/Bronson was pretty solid. Dug Günther's appearance psyching Sami out for the finish.Really digging the idea of Gunther being able to get into guys' heads and Sami needing more than his usual spirit to succeed. Its been a good way to use Gable and keep him involved, giving Sami the tough love and honesty he needs to have a chance. Jey/Nakamura was solid, but this was all the post match going back to Cody vs. Rock. I thought th segment could have used a minute or two less, but Loved Cody taking an absolute beating and bleeding from the Rock. Good matches and segments building for Wrestlemania nd just a few things after. Dug the show a good deal. Length is the only thing that keeps me from calling it good.

Is it? I'm sure there is cult aspect for some, but in this case its more of that idea of how people who do the type of shit Vince did either do it outright and arrogantly expecting little to no consequences or present themselves as different people to others, only showing their full or real selves to few individuals of like mindedness.

Shockingly managed to finish a Trials Passage on the first day I've had it for the first time. Can definitely see why Passage of Persistence is the easier way as long as you have multiple decent runs where you can tied 2 or more victories together. Can still be frustrating with the back and forth win/loss aspect which is my Trials norm. Was happy to get an ok Adept of Stasis Scout Rifle. Still going to try to play more for more rolls. So far I have had less success tonight, but I've only done a handful of games. I have to admit its definitely less frustrating to lose when you are on a 7-win card and extra Adept loot is your only aim. It is still amazing though how bad so many players are at PvP. I pretty much had shit teams for all of my games tonight and yet those players are either at my rank or a little higher. Still it says a lot when the last match went 4-4 before the inevitable loss because I carried my team through at least 3 of those games. The other team wasn't even good. They were just better as team while my guys sucked as a team and as solos. The fact that I came out as the best player on scoreboard just made me chuckle a sad laugh since I'm pretty sure I'm average at D2 PvP wise.

Hogan/Andre WM3 Rock/Austin WM17 Austin/Bret WM13 Not sure after those. Those are all important as beginnings or end of eras. Honestly, its probably should be Bruno's and Backlund's title wins or losses alongside those, but they aren't pushed as important as the reigns themselves.

Rey/Santos was solid-good even with Rey finally losing a step or two and having to slow it down. Dom helping out at the very amused it as I enjoy Dom taking every chance he can to fuck Rey over. Rey may have won their match last year, but the feud never ends. Waller/Theory vs. OC was better than expected with anderson stepping up a notch or two and the crowd pretty into by the end. Naomi/Io was good even with the fuck finish. Dug everything before backstage with Bianca and how it built into the post match. Was glad to see DC standing at top at the end. Profits/AOP was good. Was surprised to see the Profits win though with this being a more tourney style set up their spot in the ladder match isn't quite guaranteed yet. Final segment was mostly decent though a little long and awkward at times. The matches and segments were generally good for the most. The weakest part of the show was surprisingly the main event given how well most of these Bloodline vs. Cody & friends segments have gone the past 5-6 weeks. Pretty solid show overall.

Could be my mistake, but I think your memory is a bit faulty here. None of the heel stuff started to build until after Deadline.

The heel tease stuff only started in January. Before then they just pushed that she was getting more aggressive, and that particular started with the Blair feud as need to combat Blair on her level.

So basically they settled for what probably should have just been lawyer fees after they either won the case outright or settled for a $billion or two more?

Why does the Corrupted seem to bring out the dumbest D2 players. Why are even bother with the Nightfall if you aren't even going to attempt Platinum? Its makes getting the weapon all the damn harder. Edit: It is of course after complaining that I find a decent team of blueberries to run with. Always weird how this happens. Will say that the game does continue to annoy/confuse me with the refusal to give me Nightfall weapons I actually want until I run a GM. Its weird to get a good Adept weapon before I get a good normal version.

They had a damn good match during the Dusty Cup. Would love to see them run it back, especially opposed to a Good Brothers match.

Caught the first two episodes and loved them. You can feel the labor of love put into them, especially with that reanimated opening redone music. They really aimed to keep the look and feel of the original series while updating the look and animation. Those fights scenes are better looking than anything we got in the old series. Loved the trial in episode 2. Was hoping they would avoid Maddie & Rogue/Magneto, but I'm curious to see how they adapt it as X-men and Spiderman both did a generally solid job of adapting comic stories without being too slavish to them from what I have read since and understand from others. Really digging the episode length and pacing so far. Hope they continue to take advantage of D+ and using more time when needed.

Are the Creeds anymore dangerous than the Steiners were when they started?

Roxanne/Tatum was good fun. Dug the aggression from both, and I'm loving heel Roxanne. The post match beatdown on Lyra was neat and a good final setup for Roxanne/Lyra II. The Oba/Dijak/Briggs segment was alright and little amusing for the Shaft comments. Will be interesting to see if they go the 3-way route or just a singles match. Not sure which I would prefer. The Gigi/Grace segment was short and fun. I look forward to seeing more of these two interact. Frazer/Axiom vs. Dempsey/Borne was good stuff. Frazer and Axiom always look great so it as nice to see Dempsey and Borne take so much control and show more of what they can do. Sol/Brinley was a decent little showcase for both women. Gulak/Riley was pretty solid with some nice action and neat surprises in the pinfalls. Would have liked to see them go more rounds and draw the match out more, but this was about giving Riley just enough of a showcase while continuing Thea's feud with Jacy and co. Hank & Tank vs. Good Brothers was a solid hoss fight. Trick/Dar was good at a surprising level with how much chemistry Noam and Trick had. These are not two guys you would think would mesh so well, but they gelleed a good deal. Dug the bits with Lash clearly being a bit lost on her attraction to Trick vs. loyalty to M4. At least 3 good matches with everything else being pretty decent-solid both match and segment wise. I'm liking the build going on with the women's division at war. Don't see War Games returning to NXT, but it kind of would be perfect with the feuds building and interacting. Hopefully we at least get a big tag at Stand and Deliver. Pretty solid show tonight.

All signs are hinting towards Black Armory and old beloved Pinnacle weapons like Recluse and Mountaintop which I think are before you started playing. They are among the community's favorite weapons though who knows if that will still be the case with new perks and general changes that have happened over the years.

I'm watching right now. Seems to be a Horde defense mode with a little bit of Rift for pyramid ship invasions/boss fights. You can decoys, turrets, tripmines for defense. Goes to 50 waves. Shaxx is the vendor for the activity. Midnight Coup is confirmed to return weapon wise. Sounds like we won't hear more about loot until next week. Fallen and Hive will be the main enemies though all of the enemy forces of the Witness will seemingly show up sans the Taken(?). Seem to imply that whatever story is going on involves the Taken which is why they aren't a focus in the activity.

Finally finished up the Passage of Persistence for Trials. Its annoying, but I can see how its potentially easier to do for some vs. Mercy. Still not all that great considering I played enough Trials to reset again. I haven't done that in nearly two years. I think the frustrations of Trials remain regardless of Passage. There are way too many bad players, cheaters, etc. ARs are basically broken at this point. They get way too much distance without enough damage fall off and are basically at Tracer Rifle levels of stability. If that isn't a bug then whoever made that decision is a moron. Hopefully, they don't take forever to adjust, but I doubt it changes any time soon.

Forgot to mention, but I did enjoy Pat referencing that Dom was booed at his wedding.

The Usos' faceoff was fine. Was nice to see Cody make the save. DIY/Creeds built into a damn fine match as expected. Was great seeing the crowd into both teams a good deal. Hopefully the Creeds get more build so the crowd is into without them having to go all out each match as the future persists. KC Squared vs. Indi/Candice was another angle masquerading as match to push Candice's new heel character. I kind of dig it, especing the absolutely dickish pride she had post match. Cody's segment was solid. Ricochet/Dom was pretty fun with Ricochet getting in a good showcase. Will be interesting to see what happens when Judgement Day breaks up post Mania. I kind of hope JD sticks with Dom as they two play well to each other. The Sami/Gunther contract signing and Sami's segments with Gable were all good. I like the idea that Sami can't just rely on his underdog energy to take him through it. I don't ant Sami to win, but I have to say I would kind of love for Sami to maybe get some extra training from Gable to push himself to the next level and come close. Awesome Truth vs. Indus Sher was fun. Loved how Awesome Truth made their entrance. Was neat seeing one segment bleed into the next with some different camera angles in use. Its been good seeing WWE trest some new ideas out production wise post Dunn. Hope it continues. The Seth/Drew segment was another solid on between the two. Drew continues to give some of the bes t character work of his career. Seth is a goofball, but I d actually give him credit for stepping up the past few months during a lot of these segments. He isn't close as good as his opponents, but he also isn't so far behind its embarrassing like he has been in the past. New Day vs. Otis/Tozawa was another fun match. Was nice seeing Otis and Akira actually get in a decent showcase against a team like New Day. Becky/Nia wasn't as good as their last match, but was still a solid garbage brawl. Most of the matches and segments ranged from pretty decent-solid, but we did get a great standout match in DIY vs. Creeds. That is match that deserves to happen again with the belts on the line and one of them as champs. Another solid show with Wrestlemania taking shape and unfinished business finally ending on Becky's journey to Rhea.
