Saw the Moon Knight suit possible leak. I think he looks awesome. As I've said before, I'm super excited for his show. I think it's going to blow our minds in terms of characterization and aesthetic.
I need this No Way Home trailer right nowwwwwwwwwww. I saw that it was leaked apparently? Didn't watch it though since people on Twitter were saying it had unfinished CGI or something. I just want an official trailer so hopefully that comes soon. It'll probably break the internet.
What If episode 1 was cool. I like animated shows but I gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the style this show has. I'll continue to watch but idk, it kinda feels like a Telltale game? If that makes sense hahaha. Watching episode 2 today, which I heard is getting good reviews.

Was never able to watch Titans as I never had DC Universe. Went on a trip to South Korea 2 years ago and it was on their Netflix, so I was able to binge the first four episodes in downtime while there, but that was it until now. Been finishing the first season and I really love the show. Robin is one of my favorite superheroes, so the fact we get 2 of them on the same screen is awesome to me. I find Dick and Jason to be ripped completely from the pages, which is awesome. Starfire not being orange still bothers me, but as she learns more of her identity, I hope to see some evolution in her design (although I've seen the promo art for S3 and I see she's still not orange).
Either way, I'm excited to catch up.
Also, yesterday marked 1 year since The Batman trailer released. What a masterpiece of a trailer. Still get goosebumps watching it.

Saw Black Widow a week or so ago. Left the theatre thinking overall, "meh." Felt very Phase 2 MCU, which isn't really a bad thing, but was just something I noticed; lots of comic relief. However, none of this is to say I didn't enjoy the movie. I definitely did. Yelena was totally the stand-out. Great writing for her and great acting from Florence has me excited for Yelena's future. I thought Red Guardian was hilarious. The Taskmaster plot was not something I loved. I feel like it just makes the character more complicated than they have to be.
As for Loki, I loved the show. I think WandaVision still stays at the top for my Disney+ tier list, but that's because of a personal bias for movies/shows that deal with existential/mind-bending themes (Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc). But I found Loki to have a much stronger presence than Falcon/Winter Soldier had, and the finale opens up a crazy amount of insane possibilities the MCU could explore.
Needless to say, my MCU hype is still through the roof. Excited to see what they do with Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye.
Mainly, I think Moon Knight is gonna be sick.

Awesome first episode. As Joker said I loved the Rebels tie-in. Little things like that are what makes Star Wars so fun. I didn't care for the Batch in their TCW episodes but after Ep. 1 I'm all in for them. Excited to see where this series goes and how it expands the lore.

I haven't gone deep in all of their singles runs, but some of my favorite "Beatles" songs are from their solos. George has always been my favorite Beatle but his solo stuff doesn't get me as much as others'. Ringo's "I'm The Greatest" is awesome (as expected considering he got John and George in on it). Of course Paul w/ Wings had some bangers like 1985 and Band on the Run.

I think Falcon & Winter Soldier will have another series...in some shape or form Looks like you were right! Great finale, great message, and the new suits are beautiful. Also I liked the end title "Captain America and the Winter Soldier." Awesome.

That Shang-Chi trailer got me HYPED. I was iffy on the lead casting, as I only see him as Jung from Kim's Convenience, but after the trailer, I'm all in. I'm a huge fan of colorful, aesthetic cinematography, and this seems like it's gonna have some sick shots in it. That one bad guy (the Death Dealer?) looks super cool.
As for TFATWS, I'm hyped to see the new suit tomorrow. A little upset that Walker's shield has blue instead of black, but I'm positive we'll get a more accurate US Agent suit in the future (would like to note I have loved his suit currently and understand why he's wearing blue rn). I doubt this series will be the last time we see him.
Also.....I need this Black Widow movie in my veins already hahaha. I feel like the hype has been lost from all the delays and that sucks for ScarJo, but I'm looking forward to seeing Taskmaster and hope he's not a one-off.

Some criticisms I had with the Snyder Cut:
- Way too many slo-mo scenes. I didn't mind the length of the film in general, but when it was slo-mo after slo-mo after slo-mo, it tended to drag. - That awkward hand-touch scene with Bruce and Diana both grabbing the mouse at the same time. Gave me "Wow, he really IS tall" vibes that I hated in the Whedon Cut. - The score was all over the place, and also a bit repetitive. - I also missed the Batman opener from the Whedon cut. When he interrogates the Parademon. That scene felt very Batman-y to me so I was sad to see it not included.
Some triumphs though:
- Cyborg and Flash's fleshed out introductions. While I think they should have just gotten movies first, these introductions were necessary to give the audience a reason to invest in the characters. WB cutting these originally was just a real poor move. - Steppenwolf actually had dimensions! In the Whedon Cut, he was a pretty basic character. But here, he had actual drive, a real character. I thought that was a good addition. - Barry's timey wimey speed was pretty cool. Felt unnecessary for Supe's resurrection scene but was clearly just to show you he can do that so that the finale can happen. I would have fixed this by showing this in a solo Flash film first. - I LOVED Leto's portrayal of Joker. I see some people criticizing his laugh, but I thought it was eerie and sadistic. This Joker knows his role in Batman's life and he plainly doesn't give a f*** about what he does. Plus his dead eyes were super cool. I hope we get more Batfleck with this Joker. The Robin dialogue was awesome. While I felt the Knightmare was clearly sequelbait and lowkey unnecessary, I enjoyed it for what it was: a glimspe into the future.
I'm excited to hear everyone else's opinions on here.

Will always be incomplete without a Dynamite Kid. It's crazy how I didn't really care for a Dynatmite Kid until I've seen his matches from Japan. Maybe I had just not seen enough of him, but the dude was doing stuff that gets people over nowadays. While he's appreciated here, he's definitely one of my top "underrated guys" of all time. I hope Mattel gets a fig out for him one day. You're right, the British Bulldogs are incomplete without him, and really I just need a fig of him in my collection.

Immediately ordered Darby, Orange, and PAC. I don't like the default headsculpt on PAC; I think the hair in front of the face is the better sculpt, but I couldn't resist. Both Darbys imo are awesome, and Orange Cassidy's pockets are super cool. I want The Young Bucks but I'll wait on them.
Riho disappointed me tbh. Her scuplt just doesn't work for me.
Otherwise, I think the set came out pretty well.

I'd love some bloody figs lol. There was a 2 pack made by Jakks that featured Sting vs Hogan, and Hogan was bloodied up. Came with cloth goods and the TNA World Championship. It was dope.

Have yet to pull the trigger on AEW figs, but that Mox is making me regret that. I just know that once I start I won't stop hahaha. The chase is cool. We'll need 5 of those shirts eventually so I like it.

Bayley came out awesome. Looks just like her. Weird hair and all. This whole series was knocked out of the park. The Viking Raiders go hard.

I'm excited for this figure. One of the first figs I've pre-ordered in a very long time. He looks tough as hell in that packaging.

Yes and No. Yes in the sense that he had major hype and expectations around him that weren’t realistic. Especially when Vince and co are in charge of the main roster more so than Triple H. There’s very few people who have immediate success on the main roster and remain successful. Especially Nakamura who had only a year in NXT and had to adjust to a watered down American style. On the other hand, he’s been used consistently, was in the WWE title match at Mania, and is a he current US champ. There’s worse spots to be in for sure. I agree completely with this. While he was a big star in Japan and ROH (and even NXT), it was almost impossible for him to live up to that hype when he was moved to the main roster. But then again, he won the Royal Rumble by eliminating John Cena and Roman Reigns. He's had multiple WWE Championship matches. He's the current United States Champion. I think Nakamura's well set at the moment.
