Maybe, but not all villains need a superhero to vanquish them. Some, if not most, can be outsmarted and led into their own demise. Maybe Hive shouldn't have been one of those kinds of villains, but I think Aida can be, most definitely. But, she's crafted from the Darkhold, so I think Ghost Rider could handle her all by himself while May, Quake, etc. deal with MODOK-lite. Hive was one of the major disappointments of the entire series for me, personally. That should have been a storyline that builds up over the entirety of the series' run, not just one season (if that). It's the physical manifestation of HYDRA for fucks sake.

Today I learned that @Greggulator is Gregg Gethard.

If they have to call the Avengers/Defenders/other superheroes every time they encounter an all powerful big bad, then what's the point of the show? Might as well just cancel it. I have no problem with Quake and Ghost Rider (with two skilled secret agents and two super smart scientists) taking down knockoff MODOK and Aida. Oh, and while we're talking about AoS.... John Hannah is a fucking treasure. So sad to see his character go. He was easily one of the best parts of this season.

Xenu.

so Billy McFarland (and by extension, Ja Rule) knowingly scammed a media conglomerate in Comcast out of $25mil, and National Event Services, all the while knowing they'd face lawsuits (and five of them have been filed already), for... what, short-term personal gain? One of those lawsuits is $100mil by itself. This reeks of festival mismanagement and people involved not knowing what the hell they were doing, not intentional fraud or a scam.

Not a big fan of a period piece having a modern song with the trailer, but that's my only complaint. I'm still all in on Wonder Woman, it looks really good.

If Fyre Festival was planned to be held in Oklahoma City, OK I'm almost positive it could have worked. But for them to start in late 2016 to plan, book and organize a festival in the Bahamas for early 2017 was foolish. A lot more logistics than planning a new festival stateside. Besides all of that, ICP have been running the Gathering for, like, 17 years. Of course they're better than Ja Rule in that particular case. If I had the money (and the festival wasn't a total dumpster fire), I much rather would have paid $1000+ to go to the Bahamas and see GOOD Music and Migos, etc. than be in Oklahoma in the summer watching Blaze Ya Dead Homie.

Looks like Emma got injured again today at the Liverpool live event. Apparently her and Sasha botched the double knees in the corner move.

I'm pretty sure Infinity War is going to be about Thanos acquiring the stones, and the sequel is going to be about Thanos ruling with the Gauntlet and how they defeat him.

I never had that message for Netflix until I switched from using my Roku to my Xbox One. The interface for the Netflix Roku app was basic as all hell, though.

I started Gotham last weekend, already up to like E8 or E9 in the second season.... I'm really loving it so far. Only bad thing is Fish Mooney and she's kind of just disappeared at this point, thank god.

I really hate when shows come back for two or three weeks, then go on a 2 week hiatus and then come back to finish their season. I'm pretty sure Designated Survivor did that recently and it pissed me the fuck off.

They don't need to explain why Brock isn't defending the title. We all know Brock's situation. If you don't, you haven't been paying attention since 2012 obviously. It's no secret, even to the "regular" fans, that he's a special attraction and doesn't appear at every RAW and PPV. I get why people find it annoying, but I can't believe we're still bitching about this kind of stuff. It happened with his last title run, it happened with The Rock, Goldberg... I mean, at some point, you have to just accept it and move on and stop wanting WWE to come up with kayfabe reasons why he didn't defend his title at Payback or appeared on any shows since WrestleMania.

It's not like Ja Rule was a headliner. He was just a co-promoter of it. The top 7 acts were GOOD Music (but who was supposed to appear, nobody knows), Major Lazer, Blink 182, Disclosure, Rae Sremmurd, Migos and Lil' Yachty. Those bands alone weren't worth the price of admission (starting at, what, $500?) but the idea of a vacation in the Bahamas or wherever AND getting to see all of those, plus others, certainly would be. All of those acts would appear near the top of any festival's bill, except maybe Lil' Yachty, so I can see why people would buy tickets. The organizers, including Ja Rule, were fucking foolish to believe they could set-up a destination festival in under a year.

I am, it's one of my favorite shows. But holy shit, this season is really batshit crazy. I tried to start a little discussion about it in the April thread, but it wasn't happenin'. I don't think too many people watch it on this board. Or gave up on it last season. My interest in Leftovers is going to die real quick once Twin Peaks starts in a few weeks, though.

I'm starting to think you have an un-diagnosed mental illness as well.

Punk likely had a lot to do with UFC203 getting 425-475K buys. Do any of us normies give a flying fuck about Miocic, Overeem, Werdum or Browne? No, people bought that PPV because of the freakshow/curiosity aspect of a recent ex-WWE star making his debut. You slot anyone else into that match with Mickey Gall, and it gets knocked down to a Fight Pass bout and something else replaces it on the PPV card, and the buyrate comes back resembling UFC201 most likely. But, this is Vic we're talking about, so explaining things in a logical way won't work. UFC is a business and they're about chasin' that paper? No way, "he's takin' a SPOT, MAN!" From who, Randy fuckin' Brown?

I really hope you aren't including the NWA title in that last sentence. But that's an atrociously ugly belt if I've ever seen one.

The point is that the most recent championships (as in, the Spinner belt all the way to the current giant logo) all feature WWE's logo front and center. Big Gold? Nope. Winged Eagle or the one from the late 90s/early 2000s? Barely noticeable unless you pay attention. Their belts are walking billboards for the company. The "cool" looking ones from a bygone era just look like wrestling belts. It doesn't scream "WWE". Maybe that's why you like it, but that's probably exactly why they hated it and other belts like it.

Maybe, but Big Gold isn't a giant logo for them to send to celebrities and athletes after they accomplish something big.

Sin Cara looks pretty fuckin' cool now:

I'm super annoyed that most the basic designs on SPLX are sold out. Damnit.

SPOILER: Zack Sabre Jr wins.

Are we sure Strange Kentucky People isn't really Strange Alabama People? They sound like Crimson Tide fans
