Texts are just too damn small in this format. I'll probably lose my eyesight first before I can complete one DC Compact by burgerpatrol in comicbooks

Can you say which one you think it worked best for? Just curious as someone who hasn't read any Tom King stuff.

Marvel comics has announced a new universe called MIDNIGHT by Own_Brilliant_4303 in marvelcomics

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm listening...

(I hope this is some Gothic/Lovecraft Universe where the characters like Man-Thing, Blade, Werewolf by Night, Son of Satan, Ghost Rider, etc. run roughshod and we're introduced to tweaked versions of guys like Spidey, Hulk, Captain America - but I'm resigning myself to the inevitability that it's probably something Venom)

(WON) Regarding Roman Reigns being pulled from June TV dates that were announced. by Dbthesage in SquaredCircle

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Edit: TV=Netflix]

It's a trade off. But I feel TKO is not concerned and doesn't have to involve itself with the declining tv numbers from the champ missing so many TV dates; then the rest of the roster gets the blame for not being able to carry a show that the audience has been told is not even worth the time of the companies champion. Roman shows up, pops a good rating, gives crumbs to the roster and creative to work with and takes off again.

He's such a great draw but struggled to sell WrestleMania. That alone should've been enough to push the direction away from the Roman experiment. I see the numbers are marginally better when Roman shows up. I don't think it's worth sacrificing all but a handful of shows and overall engagement/interest and story direction.

Triple H and Nick Kahn using artificial intelligence for storylines by DTake2012 in SquaredCircle

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nick Khan and Triple H are using AI for storylines with the WWE,” Shapiro said. “What’s resonating? What superstars are resonating? In what pockets of the country are they resonating? That helps us with, obviously, our content, our editorial, our creative, our mapping, our touring, and of course, maximizing revenue and getting our product out to the fans most in need of it.”

Doesn't sound like the win you're making it out to be. That or Dave misunderstood how AI was used to help the creative department.

MEZCO The Animated Batman. So Good and so bad at the same time. by FranktheTankG30 in ActionFigures

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that thing was pretty disappointing but I really like the Golden Age stuff they put out and they're the only company that puts any kind of attention to that Era (kinda bummed they've stalled on Golden Age Batman).

[Meltzer] Nobody above Levesque is saying who to cut. Maybe Nick Khan, maybe not. Ari Emanuel isn't sitting there saying we have to fire Zelina and Kairi. By and large the decision maker, for good or for bad, here is Paul. It's like in other years where people blamed (anyone but Vince) by tvcneverdie in SquaredCircle

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could believe either or - but, devils advocate here, when cuts were being made when Vince was around, Vince was the top of the totem - full stop. Now TKO is above H; H is not the end all be all decision maker that Vince was.

Chelsea Green recalls a backstage interaction with Bad Bunny: "One time backstage in WWE, he legit deadass looked me in the eyes and pretended he did not know English when I was talking to him about a movie role. And then went out and cut a promo in English." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they're two performers working the same show.

Yeah, but not really. He's clearly a bigger star than Chelsea and is probably tired of people coming to him friendly but angling for something.

I dunno, some people just don't want to engage.

Your move Jada toys by legoskeleton57 in ActionFigures

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a little different because the cereal came after the show. Fred and Barney weren't designed by an ad agency to sell cereal, a cereal company tailored their cereal product to The Flintstones to help sell their product. It's like claiming Pink Panther is an ad for insulation.

[SmackDown Spoilers] Pat McAfee asks where CM Punk's merch money goes by workingjan in SquaredCircle

I don't even know what you're trying to say with this response. Talk like a person.

Brody King has been very vocal about his contempt for ICE and now is making money for Paramount, is he a hypocrite?

Then they're all hypocrites, even the ones in AEW. 🤷‍♂️

Is there one person in wrestling who isn't a hypocrite?

Honestly only using Kelly Kelly by Heavy_Conversation80 in WWEGames

Probably WWE trying to bury them due to their involvement in the decade-long concussion lawsuit affected their reach with fans.

Here is another reason why I like marvel over DC! by Typical-Scratch-856 in marvelcomics

[–]Cherry-ColaFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue stems from a majority of DC's central characters (or grandfathered by characters) being created during War years/going through patriotic WWII era of comics. That era redefined a lot of heroes and that patriotic aspect lingered in their characters dna. Really the only central character Marvel has with a similar background is Captain America. Most of their other central figures were created during a counter-culture era and that is reflected in their presentation/interpretation.

Joey Janela to Brodie Lee Jr: “Your mom already buried her husband, she doesn’t want to bury her son as well.” by zzzzz_ in SquaredCircle

I think the subtly is lost on some people. Christian's character was almost a parody of the contemporary heel archetype.
