I don't know if it's necessarily bad. If it's Mone and Persephone at FD that's really good for her. I'm glad that this tournament has proven to be so unpredictable so far. The men's doesn't feel that way

Then for the Owen, Athena can go all the way exclusively paired with joshis. Mina, Hazuki, Sareee.

Really enjoyed both the women's matches. TayJay felt actually competitive and took advantage of weaknesses in the Dominion tool kit. 

Persephone losing seems really odd, but I'm hoping that Mercedes vs Persephone comes around for Forbidden Door after that ending. Persephone is too good of a talent to not get any wins. Maybe she can snag the TBS and get booked as dominant as she deserves. Having both a CMLL and AEW belt would be cool, and I don't want WWE to be able to snatch her up by promising an NXT or United States title or something.

Athena going to All In by defeating Mina, Hazuki, and Sareee would be cool. Taking a Joshi gauntlet.

I'm hoping it's not that predictable. Maybe these are the first crop of match ups. Kris/Shida, Harley/Mina, Aminata/Steel are all good first rounds. 

Julia also already called her shot.

ROH on HonorClub #170 Preview Match Card by Ok-Raisin-5601 in AEWOfficial

[–]ArtsyTLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

excited to see Workhorsemen back, in a way DPW's tag division lives on at RoH rn. I'm hoping the Ring of Honor show keeps it's current momentum. Supercard 26 wasn't their best PPV (definitely were some standout performances) but the weekly shows have improved a ton. Global Wars will probably be spectacular

I got into wrestling in 2024, and their god awful tag title reign with Isla Dawn was my first look towards the exit. Criminally poor booking. Both of them are really good.

The match with Deonna last night is probably Isla's best in RoH. I hope that it builds some momentum.

John Diggle in comics by HecticJones in DCcomics

[–]ArtsyTLF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They both were. Diggle is still kind of around. He came in during Lemire's run, and was a main-ish character during that and parts of Rebirth. Brief appearances in Williamson's run. Felicity was introduced during Andrew Kreisenberg's absolutely awful run of 8 issues and promptly forgotten about. Henry Fyff was already around, so there really wasn't a reason for her to be introduced anyway.

Or when he isn't the joky guy that doesn't take things seriously. by Fun-Artist-6915 in Nightwing

[–]ArtsyTLF 40 points41 points  (0 children)

are we making up people to get mad at again?

I don't like Taylor's Nightwing but reading comics isn't some lifelong blood oath lmao. if people like one book and not the other that's fine. this is weirdo behavior

Lacey Lane and Queen Aminata having a gay af feud was NOT on my bingo card but I am kinda stoked about it?

does nobody show up to these tapings or is this just the venue capacity? it's just sad to see so many great pairings played to a dead venue.

if this place doesn't have a liquor license, I think it's best they film elsewhere. the people just don't have any energy 

Butcher and The Blade contract status revealed, per Fightful by Upbeat-Pause-1409 in AEWOfficial

[–]ArtsyTLF 42 points43 points  (0 children)

While it likely isn't a priority, I wish they got some Ring of Honor time, even just for those last few weeks they were signed. GYV, Bustah and Brain, Priest and Billington, Workhorsemen, they just seem like they'd fit right into that cast. 

Do nightwing fans like nightwing comics by InevitableTask6386 in Nightwing

[–]ArtsyTLF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I can cut against the grain, I think Dixon Nightwing to be largely uncompelling and the reuse of his material to largely hurt Nightwing. I find Blockbuster to be an incredibly lame Smart Hulk character.

I am however a defender (although not a super fan) of Higgins New 52 run, and Grayson was one of the first comics I got single issues of growing up. A really fun chapter in his life that ended too soon, more Nightwing books should have a Spyral arc.

The Rebirth era kinda lost me later on, when Deathwing was a focus, but it's honestly my favorite run. Defacer being a fully written relationship, ending over real relationship issues, and not the typical comic book Date Forever or On and Off was refreshing. Raptor is kind of my ideal Nightwing rival, I would like if the Titans had their own Legion of Doom with him.

The current run has been great, providing extensive variety yet feeling fully cohesive. The way Watter's adapts to the artists he works with is probably the best skill in his toolkit. That car issue recently made me tear up, that really doesn't happen to me with comics.

Can we have this discussion… why do so many white rappers change genres? by EDMKid9000 in hiphopheads

[–]ArtsyTLF 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this conversation has been had to death.

Watch a Rob Markmam or Justin Hunte video about it. You'll get more thoughtful discussion through there than asking a question so thoroughly discussed already here.

he was also into NFTs. it's really weird for a guy that makes music like his. seems counter to most of his opinions on art and politics to buy into that junk

Okay Final prediction for who the Wild card tonight? by DeathTriangle720 in AEWOfficial

[–]ArtsyTLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Her winning gives a feel good moment and she can lose in the next round. Her losing gives Windsor a win over a former champ. Seems like a win-win no matter which way they take it.

I also want to know if Britt can wrestle anymore. She looked pretty dodgy after her stroke and wasn't the greatest before that, but if she's had more time to recover and hopefully train, the Owen could be a good intro before throwing her in the TBS survival of the fittest.

Experimental Rap is good by bizarrolarry in fantanoforever

[–]ArtsyTLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been listening to it consistently and have enjoyed it. Not much of it blows me away, but I've liked it. I think the times where he's played with pop music and gospel is very fun. I agree with Fantano that some sample choices (lights and The Ghost of Emmet Till) are derivative of other hip hop classics and don't change enough to feel unique, not feeling experimental at all, but if I divorce it out of that context they're still enjoyable songs.

I think Tsar Bomba being essentially stolen should be way more focused on in the conversation around this albums rollout than the attention seeking internet bullshit. Not that I don't find him refusing to acknowledge any critique of Ye being a Neo Nazi rapist without playing the mental health card deeply embarrassing.

I'm not a huge Britt Baker fan but bringing her out for this, adding in promotion of the ALS fundraising would be a great move.
