She's the Jeff Hardy of the women's division in terms of her connection to the crowd and in-ring style. They need to go all the way with her. Even better, she can cut a promo. Jeff Hardy was horrible on a mic even as they pushed him to the world title.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} I was not thrilled with the ending of this week's episode. I really hope this doesn't turn into 'we were on a break'.
Also, I've only seen half of the original series but I certainly had the impression that it was only ever tension between Chapel and Spock, that they hadn't acted on it.

I'd be down for another maximal outing if they found a way to bring some more in. Hell, I'd be down for a G.I. Joe movie because why the hell not. I was born in the 80s after all : ) Given this movie break-even point seems to be around $450-500 million and it's struggled to get to $400 million, I have my doubts we'll see too many more of them. If the animated movie with Chris Hemsworth performs as poorly, I would expect Transformers to remain a TV property for the immediate future. Fair enough, best to let it sit long enough to start completely fresh.

I don't have much to contribute other than I immediately thought of when Krusty the Clown had the Red Hot Chilipeppers perform for him.

I initially clicked on this one thinking it was about Young Justice (momentary brain fart). Still, I enjoyed this show back in the day too, though never got to watch it regularly, so this was neat. This guy's channel is great.

I grew up watching reruns of the original show and was the perfect age for when Beast Wars hit. The first Transformers movie was a great experience for my buddy and I in the cinema despite it's flaws. By the fourth movie though it had gotten dire. That one was so long and meandering that by the time the dinobots showed up, I'd forgotten they were supposed to be in the movie and was so bored that I just wanted it to be over. Never bothered watching the fifth one. Bumblebee was good and Bay wasn't directing this one so I was cautiously optimistic.
Overall it was alright, didn't blow me away. There are some characters I would have liked to see more of. Rhinox was basically mute and I felt like that was a loss. I think him and Alayna could have had some great interactions if it was classic Rhinox. Hell classic Cheetor and Mirage probably would have been best friends. I do feel like it took a bit too long to bring the maximals into it and I wish they'd gotten a bit more characterisation. Hell, I was starting to wonder if they would even maximize at one point and when they did we only got a few glimpses and that was it.
Scourge's two helpers were pretty much non descript, I don't even remember their names. There were some fun moments in the movie but yeah, it feels like it could have been more. Really, they could probably have had fewer autobots and given the Maximals more screen time.
All in all though, it was enjoyable and nice to see the Maximals get their screentime. That said, some of the battle despite having tons of disposable enemies was just kinda bland. It didn't help that all the nameless enemies were the same colour.
I'd be down for another maximal outing if they found a way to bring some more in. Hell, I'd be down for a G.I. Joe movie because why the hell not. I was born in the 80s after all : )

I've loved the expansion partly because of the highlighting of characters that might normally not get it. However, I'm on board for more, comics are my jams. I remember even before Infinity War at a Christmas party some of my friends were already complaining about shared universes and how they were tired of them. Some people are totally down for this stuff and some are not. As others mentioned, Endgame is a natural jumping off point as well. The infinity stones were a great macguffin because it made it that much easier to tie all the movies together even loosely.

Sounds cool, just hope it doesn't take five decades for these sequels like it did for avatar.

Had a power outage at work that lasted roughly 5-10 seconds. That flicker cause 2 hours of downtime on one of our production lines and about 6 hours of downtime on another.

I enjoy good ones but I get mildly annoyed when a comment is just reciting the punchline in something comedic. Yeah I probably should finish the video before reading comments but still.

So I watched Shayna's promo on Ronda and why she turned on her. I thought it was a pretty good promo really. It made sense, it was fiery, it was what you'd want in a situation like this. Hopefully they don't crap the bed.

I could see Priest successfully cashing in at some point. He has a year and now they have the made up roman cheats too hard world championship. If it weren't for the consolation prize then no way would he have a chance.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix had such a collective shrug about it, just came along and quietly shuffled off with little fanfare. Shazam 2 did the same, and now The Flash. Weird feeling, but hard not to see the collective thing all three films had in common. Even with The Flash being, by the sound of it, better than the other two. Even that probably has some other factors behind it, since Apocalypse made a lot less than Days of Future Past and was much worse received, plus it was a pointless remake of a widely hated movie by the same writer who was now also directing it. The franchise being dead on its feet already was definitely part of Dark Phoenix flopping as badly as it did but it probably would have anyway. You also had the person who played Sansa Stark as Jean. She was great as Sansa but definitely not suited to Jean. The movies went a bit off the rails as well jumping a decade with each instalment while no one was aging. There were several other issues with them too. But yeah, after the disappointment of Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix just didn't appeal.

For me it's just many instances of stupid shit that I said, often where I thought I was being clever or funny and realized (often shortly after) that no, I was just being an idiot. Then there's all the romantic opportunities I missed due to a combination of body image issues, lack of self confidence and overthinking things.

Really wanted to see this in the Theaters, but no one else I know wants to go to this. I will probably just buy it when it comes out on DVD at least. You can always go solo. It's not as fun but it's still a decent time. Most of my cinema trips are solo these days.

Bet they wish they could run back in time and prevent…hmm…I don’t even know how far back they have to run. I know the early movies made money but for me I’d run back to the pitch meeting for Man of Steel and tell Snyder that a frowning Superman flying in front of gray skies doesn’t have legs. He would think that's fine because you don't need legs to fly.

Really, it's just honouring the age old tradition of trial by combat. It's honestly a lot better than deciding something like oh say custody in a ladder match.

I'm assuming this is Barney the dinosaur and not either of Fred Flintstone's or Homer Simpson's friends? Don't cry for me, I'm already dead.
