My MCU fandom has slowly faded and I haven't seen this, Echo, Werewolf By Night, What If S2 or Deadpool/Wolverine. Which of these should I try?

This the one where the Superfriends need to go back in time to prevent all this and the narrator makes a point to say they (specifically, Batman) go back by moving fast and breaking sound barriers?

Never caught a single episode. Can anyone summarize what made it so bad?

What's cable TV like nowadays? Do they still show commercials and bumpers? If I'm watching primetime television, are there commercials advertising this week's episodes of shows?

How big is WWE in terms of brand recognition? Not asking how big the company is. More interested in whether you could mention “WWE” to a random person and they’d understand what it is.

I miss the days of tag team champions closing shows and mixing it up with main eventers. And I'm not talking about makeshift teams with guys who are already main eventing.

Everyone, remember our rule about embedding WWE footage that isn't from the company's Youtube page. I just un-embedded videos that had footage. Do not let it happen again!

Someone could try humiliating Gunther by showing that photo of him as a teen with green hair. Then it would backfire when Gunther says it's proof he's lost a lot of weight and is more healthy and better looking than he used to be.

I’m super behind with everything. We supposed to just pretend Doom won’t sound like Iron Man? Or are shenanigans afoot?

This would be the second time they’d have to reference some controversy. The first being Paige’s video leak

The legal system is complex and it's incorrect to presume allegations and convictions are mutually exclusive. I'm going to use the Tammy Sytch matter as a rough example. Following the collision, people called her a murderer. "Murder" is a specific charge and prosecutors would need to consider all circumstances. Hypothetically, she could have been charged with involuntary manslaughter if certain circumstances presented themselves.
A lot could happen from there. In this case, she took a plea deal and pleaded no contest to DUI causing injury/death. While charges may vary by state, DUI causing injury/death is clearly not murder. But if she had gone to trial, a jury could still acquit her regardless of any solid evidence. That woud preclude any legal designation as a "murderer," but wouldn't change the fact the other driver died in the collision. Thus, Tammy would likely be considered guilty of murder in the court of public opinion.
As far as Odyssey goes, "innocent until proven guilty" means little. Furthermore, we don't have any specifics about the domestic violence allegations. Even if prosecutors step in, exact charges could vary. There's a lot that could still come out of all this. But it at least sounds like something happened and it was bad enough for WWE to fire him. Is it bad enough for criminal charges? We don't know that yet. But it would still be possible for Odyssey to have done something wrong. And that would still open him to criticism.

So what exactly did he do that's transphobic? Posted a link to a story titled "Transgender 'man' who 'gave birth' is outraged over nurses calling him 'mom'," along with multiple laughing emojis. When it blew up he deleted it and hid his account for a few days but he never posted any kind of apology or anything. Alright. I can be forgiving toward people who just happen to misfire and don't understand they shouldn't use the LGBT community as punchlines like people did in the 1980s. It happens to the best of us. We think we're telling a witty joke but end up missing the mark. Tell us things are different now and hopefully we can learn from our mistake and move on. If he had simply apologized and said he'd do better, then no problem. But him hiding and acting like nothing happened? Can't get on board with that.

He was before my time, but he seemed like a nice dude from what I’ve been seeing. I’m going to check some of his shit out. Any recommendations? Sid was the king of jobber squash matches, go check some of those from 1991 or 1995 on YouTube and he looks like he is murdering folk (all the while he's taking care of them). Tell that to Mike Blackwell

Holy shit. I only heard because I follow a political Twitter account and its run by someone who happens to be a wrestling fan.

We talking about shows where the villain was the starring character? Or do you mean when a villain is the most influential character and just happens to get the most screentime?

So I had a toy when I was a kid in the late 80s. It was a big flashlight that opened up into a base with a bunch of mini figures. The flashlight actually worked too. I haven't been able to find anything about it and my family doesn't remember it, so may I dreamed it up. However, I am sure I had this thing when I was four or five.
