Twilight

I'd imagine Kevin Smith signed on because he actually wanted to work on He-Man stuff. He certainly seems to be putting more thought into plot and characters then Filmation ever did.

Yes, the "heart" of the half hour toy commercial. I mean don't get me wrong, I liked the original shows and all but Filmation made them on the cheap. They weren't some labor of love, Filmation was cashing in on something that was hot at the time. The reboot shows for both franchises blew them out of the water with ease.

Speaking as a diehard fan of this franchise, I have heard nothing about this particular show that makes me the least bit upset. Teela's always gotten focus in Masters of the Universe so it's no surprise she's getting focus in this show as well. Would I have liked a continuation of the story from the reboot leading to the Ultimate Battleground and He-Man and She-ra having to deal with Skeletor, the Snake Men AND Hordak? Well sure but Smith only has ten episodes, not nearly enough time to tell a story that epic. From the sounds of things though Masters of the Universe Revelations is a story that's just as epic.

Oh puh-lease. Everybody I've talked to who's actually watched the show says it's absolutely wonderful, the "fans" hating on it are just a minority of crybabies trying to make themselves appear more important then they are. Just your standard wingnuts trying to "own da libs."

Aquaman's comic has been consistently published since the Golden Age. He's had his own cartoon and been prominently featured in other cartoons, that doesn't say "not even a letter list character" to me.

I figured. Also with the Cody Rhodes thing, this might be bad for more then one wrestler. Ogogo looks like a paper tiger for failing in his very first major match but Austin Gunn also looks bad for being put on the shelf for 8-10 months by the move Cody tanked several times. Also Billy and Colton Gunn look bad for not rushing to avenge Austin.

Well as I understand it, Stadium Stampede was always meant to be one fall for the finish. The only complaint I heard about that match was that, given the storyline, Guevara should have been pinning MJF himself rather then Spears.

So I checked the results for AEW Double or Nothing. Most of the show I had no problem with however they had Cody Rhodes go over Anthony Ogogo, who is the guy that was supposed to be AEW's next big monster. So naturally in his first big match Cody Rhodes cut him off at the knees. Despite Ogogo dominating the match, despite Ogogo hitting his kill move that has put wrestlers in hospital, Rhodes hit one move and wins. I suppose I'm not surprised that Rhodes is engaging in the same BS he chided HHH for but I am very disappointed.

So during that zombie lumberjack match on Backlash, Miz was legitimately injured with a torn ACL. Naturally he's going to be off TV for awhile and apparently "eaten by zombies" is how they're explaining it. Morrison meanwhile managed to get away apparently, as he lost to Damian Priest in a normal lumberjack match on RAW.

So....Backlash had a match with zombie lumberjacks. Miz and Morrison were eaten apparently. Make of this what you will.

Just dropping in to express more disgust over President Biden standing with Netanyahu and failing to denounce Israel's terror attacks in Gaza.

There might be things that the US government can do about this, though I'm not quite certain what they are at the moment. The question is, in my opinion, what are they actually willing to do about this? Nobody in the government has been willing to call out Israel on it's BS, possibly because the whole conflict is a cash cow for the military industrial complex. Pro Israel groups are going around trying to silence people who speak out against them, as they did with Sami Zayn when he made some comments on Twitter about the conflict and they're only to happy to spread Israeli propaganda whenever they can. They've hopped into bed with the Israelis by this point and nobody seems to have the moral strength to change that. As for the notion of collusion between Netanyahu and Hamas, it wouldn't exactly surprise me. He doesn't exactly strike me as a person with a strong moral center y'know?

I'll second that disgust and add some disgust toward the people who're acting like Israel is the victim, when they're shooting civilians.

Recently, for a rather loose definition of recently, I've seen The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, the 400 Blows, The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane, A Little Romance and The Boy Who Stole The Elephant.

That definitely works for me. He deserves to be in there more then some guys jailed for pot, for example.

As long as he's not back on the streets anytime soon, that's fine by me.

The video was put on Twitter earlier today. If there was a gun, I didn't see it though he was certainly raising his hands when he was shot.

I might be in a somewhat anti-Wizard place at the moment, admittedly. Blame Outlawed. That being said, I do think Fixer and Tinkerer are his superior when it comes to technology. Tinkerer could do all the stuff Wizard does, but he's a sensible sort who found himself a comfortable niche that, logically, is making him lots of money.

He's a one trick pony, the flying discs are all he's got. The Tinkerer's build hundreds of gadgets for dozens of villains, he's built androids that were indistinguishable from humans years before SHIELD was doing it, his prowess as an inventor FAR outstrips that of the Wizard by several orders of magnitude. He's way more valuable as an ally then the Wizard. As for the rest of your arguments: at the beginning of his career nobody knew what the Tinkerer looked like aside from his clients and Spider-Man and at first Spidey thought the Tinkerer was an alien for crying out loud. Spidey's hardly going to be giving the Frightful Four any information, assuming they even knew Spidey had the information they wanted and Tinkerer's clients are hardly going to give him up and again that's assuming Wizard even knew who Tinkerer's clients even were. How're they gonna find him. The Wizard does not have hypnotic powers and he's not gonna magically develop them just so you can win this argument. He's a villain who failed to outwit the Human Torch and once got launched into space with his own tech and had to be rescued, how's he gonna outwit The Tinkerer, a villain who's actually clever?

Most of those guys were one offs, hired for a particular mission. What your forgetting is that Tinkerer can hire goons too and since there are a great many of them who rely on him to repair their gear he's gonna have quite a few more allies. It's a fight Wizard's not gonna win.

None of whom are dumb enough to risk annoying Zemo by taking out his number one tech guy or pissing off large numbers of supervillains by trying to rob the Tinkerer. Also those three teammates haven't actually worked with Wizard in years.

The Tinkerer and the Fixer are both far more accomplished then the Wizard and when it comes to tech, they're FAR more brilliant to boot. The Wizard is a one trick pony, Tinkerer's a guy who's the go to tech support for nearly every street level villain in Marvel, has built androids that can give Spider-Man a good fight and built an android replica of Bullseye that was almost as deadly as the real thing. Fixer is Baron Zemo's first choice when it comes to tech villains and has been a legitimate threat both as Zemo's ally and on his own. By himself the Wizard can't even outwit Jonny Storm. Tinkerer or Fixer would murder Wizard.

Have they though? He gets caught an awful lot for a guy with mil-spec flying discs and as his first appearances showed, he's not nearly as clever as he thinks he is.

Because the flying suit and Wizard's flight discs are fairly easily disabled. In the case of the Vulture, a high school science nerd was able to disable it several times.

It looked like the writer had a good handle on the characters in the first issue, but characterization took a nosedive after that. As did the competence of the characters as well given that they were outsmarted by The Wizard, who was incapable of outwitting Jonny Storm.
