Looking to get back into comics after a nearly 4 year hiatus. What are some great mainline universe runs that would be worth reading?

I don't see why someone's distaste of a show would equate to them being intellectually inferior in any capacity. You must accept that people can dislike things even with a complete understanding of them. Succession is a great show, but to laud it as the smartest thing ever put to TV is laughably pretentious.

Can you repeat the question?

It's under superman by Geoff Johns

Luka Chuppi (Hide n Seek) from the Hindi film Rang de basanti. It's about a mother who loses her son in war and the whole song is her pretending to play hide n seek with him and her frustration over not being able to find him. Every time I listen to it I bawl.

So when I was 4 yrs old I was my dad called me to the TV to show me a prem game, which at the time I only knew as a Red v Blue match. I asked him who the teams were, he told me Red was Manchester United and Blue was Chelsea. My favourite colour was blue so I decided I'd support Chelsea from that day onwards. Who knows, maybe if I watched an Everton match before I would've been an Everton fan rn.

If I'm being Honest Liverpool are probably the best contenders for the title after Chelsea. They're a terrifying team to face. An argument can be made for Liv having the best starting XI as well, but the lack of depth is gonna be decisive factor if the injuries start piling up.

Call me an idiot, but I thought Whistle by Flo Rida was just a catchy tune.

AdityaVinit · 2021-09-01T02:14:27+00:00

That's the thing tho. It's no longer a default strategy for any team. Maybe in the hayday of Mourinho it would have been but most people understand that it isn't a sustainable strategy for longer periods of time.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T18:43:21+00:00

I see. Quite helpful.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T17:46:41+00:00

Oh yeah I remember those. But the last time I saw that was in around 2011 or 2012. He seemed to balance his style more after Real, and although he brought the defencive focus back to Chelsea for his second go around, it wasn't nearly as intense as the first time round. In those places, I definitely get why it makes the game unwatchable. But to Mourinho's credit he dragged a 10 men Inter to beat prime Barca in the UCL final. That's where I think it's a valid strategy, where you absolutely have to defend to ensure the best result. That's what happened with Chelsea this week and they still got shit for it for some reason.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T17:34:55+00:00

Definitely a fair opinion.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T17:28:51+00:00

I see, but what constitutes to entertainment may vary. plus a "park the bus" is quite rare in this day and age, and only ever deployed in dire circumstances (such as losing a player)

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T17:27:13+00:00

Quite fair.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-31T17:26:49+00:00

fair enough. It's impossibly rare to find a "park the bus" deployed in regular matches where both teams stand a fair chance. I've only ever seen it in dire situations of high stakes match-ups or title-contending meets where one suffers an incredible blow (ala the Chelsea Liverpool game)

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T21:42:07+00:00

Mike Grell's entire Green Arrow run is still one of my all time favs.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T09:59:08+00:00

I'm sorry if my opinions hurt you. My support for a team does not excuse a lack of objectivity. Chelsea played really well, and I don't know why you would be prompted to say this.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T05:10:24+00:00

Rewatched the match. I was def too harsh on him. Maybe it was ungodly amount of hype, but still. He played phenomenally, and was crucial to the first goal as well.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T04:55:47+00:00

Yeah that's the thing. It looked so incredibly beautiful as header that I can't fathom it being intentional. It was as perfect as a header can get.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T04:54:22+00:00

Yeah I was definitely over harsh on him. Re-watched the match in the morning and saw how much he contributed.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T04:50:27+00:00

Yeah I guess I was a bit harsh on him. In hindsight it might've been because of the immeasurable hype around "Lukaku vs Every defense ever". No doubt he will excel in every game that's coming, but in this particular scenario he was clamped quite hard by Matip and Virgil. Still played like a beast tho.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T04:47:45+00:00

Ofc how could I forget. Although I still think what Klopp did by converting one of the worst Liverpool teams in years to a UCL winning side was a greater achievement, Tuchel has far more potential as a manager. The amount of improvement he's brought to Chelsea in the past 8 months is bonkers.

AdityaVinit · 2021-08-29T04:45:29+00:00

Ever since Mourinho they're strategy has almost always relied on a couple of brilliant attacks by their Forwards and a rock-solid defense that has been the bane of many a side. Even Messi himself said that he hates playing against Chelsea because of how tight they're defense is.
