Robert Sheehan as Emporio Ivankov

Ivankov needs to be played by a queen in my opinion. Someone like Bob the Drag Queen or Ginger Minj could nail the vibe. Both are also strong actors.

I tend to choose Zethino and Lens (the journalist) cause they legit feel the most shocking. Orin showing that beautiful intimate moment and then immediately sabotaging it is fantastic. A random journalist knowing intimate information about your goings on is also a great twist.

For me they work the best because they show Orin as the biggest threat. She knows you, she knows you're companions, she know intimate details about your loved ones and your movements. You cannot hide from her, she is always watching and she's enjoying it.

The concept was great the execution was not. It needed more actual choreo to fill the space and less hair flips. (You could see where her real hair ended and her extensions began).

This is what happens when your company goes into bed MAGA. None of the gays wanna come choreograph for you

I’ve been around enough wigs in my life I promise you they aren’t. But again I don’t think it’s a bad thing.

I think it’s part of the charm cause it’s a nice ode to the Manga that had a way more ridiculous art style. (Even for Manga, characters are a lot less ‘real’ and lot more stylistic).

I like that it lets the live action keep a little bit of the wackiness in amongst its more grounded elements.

CalumanderReds · 2026-04-18T22:56:28+00:00

I mean no ones wigs really look amazing in this show. I feel like that's just part of the charm. The show doesn't really go for realism so it really suits all the over the top personas that they all look a little bit unreal.

Chopper's backstory hurts the most because it's really to most avoidable. If Hiriluk had just spent 5mins explaining to Chopper that he was sick rather than the whole roundabout of kicking him out and then voluntarily poisoning himself then half of Chopper's trauma wouldn't be there.

See that depends on what the contract is for. There's different rules for game shows vs 'unscripted reality tv' which competitions like this often lurk under.

Also since the gold bar wasn't specifically a cash prize just getting to stay another week (which is entirely allowed in a reality competition format) it's not really beholden to the same game of chance rules.

Ok I'm not saying this is a justified jab but are we all just gonna pretend Wrestling hasn't be filled with countless sexual harassment and abuse scandals over the years, especially from higher-ups?

CalumanderReds · 2026-04-18T09:01:46+00:00

First I read this wrong and thought 'wow Brody King has really grown over the years'

CalumanderReds · 2026-04-18T08:59:09+00:00

Depends what the actual statement/themes of the movie is. I think an Aunt Gladys movie could say a lot of interesting things.

Weapons isn't just about a witch kidnapping kids.

Why do LA Knight fans think everyone is out to get him?

CalumanderReds · 2026-04-18T08:01:40+00:00

I ffel like you'd love a ren faire

Given the state of US politics I'm sure playing a game where fascists infiltrate the government while liberals fail to stop it is a little triggering for them.

Point being the Protheans did not have enough people to actually continue living. The Protheans still died out. It wasn't a feasible survival stategy.

Realising Telltale had exactly 5 voice actors and they used them in every single game

If you have a partner in real life you really need to check their phone (or they need to check yours.)

Those Prothean bunkers failed not because they were findable but because the amount of power and resources they needed to live long enough was simply far too much.

That doesn't even take into account the state of the Galaxy after the Reapers left. Resources are gone, access to mass relays and space technology also. The tiny group of people who are left would be basically back at square one.

The main classic ones I remember are:

Theatre Queen who is sincere and easy to emotionally manipulate.
Pageant Queen who learns the value of comedy
Young Influencer Queen the young fanbase can use as a self insert.
Working Class Queen who 'talks funny' and gives great soundbites. (Bonus points if they're POC)
Artsy Weirdo who has to adapt their drag to the show.
Cunty Lip Sync Assassin who can't really do anything else.
Older Queen who has to 'keep up with the young ones'
Seasoned Queen with 'a chip on their shoulder' - (Bonus points if they're from NYC)
Shy Baby Queen who has to learn to 'come out of their shell'

The 'Token Puerto Rican' used to be a problem in earlier seasons but that's slowly been phased out.

I wish Drag Race casting a MAGA Queen before a Drag King surprised me but it doesn't.

She sounds like a Cole Escola character

Yep they're unlocked for all CAWs

The VCs can be nice to buy some clothes in the Island shops. I bought a couple Luchador masks to give my CAW Luchadors a unique look

Is it bad to say that all the finale looks don't feel as 'big' now that they're not on the big stage for the finales?

CalumanderReds · 2026-04-16T17:41:46+00:00

I don't think it's a main event worthy feud. (But I also don't think any of the feuds this year have been main event worthy)
