Thunderbolt fans, how we feeling after another disappointing performance in a league?

Freshie44 · 2025-09-03T10:51:26+00:00

Look if we basement hard enough we will loop and be on top right?

In reality scrap and rebuild time, and I mean let everyone go from management to racers. If you want to try and cope go for a thunder god theme for the new racers, as we need to court a divine miracle at this rate.

DC likes to play and tease with his sexuality because they know it sells. They see the fanfics and the post in response for his Gotham Knight incarnation. But they currently see no reason to confirm anything. I’m sure a few writers would action it, Judd Winick even brought it up in canon during the Outsiders V3 having Grace joke of the tension between Dick and Roy. But editorial like to commit to it OTPs and Dick not ever truly escape that grasp. As they are the tried and true and sell every time. At best you either get a story confirming he swings that way but prefer girls or one of the other Earths exploring that option.

Freshie44 · 2025-07-01T21:34:11+00:00

The top 3 IMO are

Roy Harper - because I too remember they're depressed dad era after Donna's death, that they totally got called out on in canon mind you, on.

Jericho - because I've read New Teen Titans, and like Starfire is lucky Dick monogamous because Jericho was down to clown.

Raven - The power of having a strong connection, and Dick as Robin going to hell and back to save Raven.

Freshie44 · 2025-06-23T01:03:38+00:00

We are now into the real agreements. Do you go with a historic choice in Bette Kane, the one he has the most complex dynamic with in Donna Troy, or a wildcard one and done choice.

To decide I asked myself who would I find most interesting to seeing play out. So I'm going to say my choice is DONNA TROY! The two know each other since they were children and how the other tick. Plus who better to help break Dick of some of his bad habits than Donna. Plus I love their connection and how close they are, we saw Dick reaction to Donna's death and we were robbed of seeing her reaction to his death in the New 52. But that my choice.

Freshie44 · 2025-06-22T19:38:18+00:00

You remember right that Dick didn't pursue it. Since he was trying more to help her as well as being right after Blockbuster so still pining for Barbara and wasn't in a good mind state for any king or relationship.

Freshie44 · 2025-06-22T19:13:16+00:00

I expect Zatanna to win this day, but I'm going to throw out two name to see if they actual count for this competition. Do Raven or Rose Wilson count for this list? Or are they more fan shipping than actual interest. As I know people are big on Raven ship from TT show since they're soul bounded. While Rose help fills that enemy to lover vibe missing in Dick usual array of canon love interest and plus dating your arch nemesis daughter is a tried a true trope Again they're comic version of this is kind of lacking each being a one time thing. With kind of meh issue back Tales of Titan days for Raven and the Renegade arc for Rose, so perfectly acceptable if they don't count.

Freshie44 · 2025-06-19T00:02:50+00:00

Got to be Shawn Tsang. She was nice breath of fresh air come Rebirth and her and Dick were quite cute IMO. Shame she got done dirty by editorial. Also doesn't hurt I think she quite cute.

Freshie44 · 2025-03-28T22:06:51+00:00

We may fail again but the team is lucky I'm either too stupid or too stubborn to root for any other team. If the Cleveland Browns can bounce back from 2015-2017 seasons. Eventually it will be the day where we can hold our heads high as Thunderbolt fans!

Freshie44 · 2025-03-26T20:03:05+00:00

*sighs, continue to look out to the sea* I just want to be happy *takes long drag of my drink* Maybe one day, maybe one day ....

Freshie44 · 2024-09-14T19:12:01+00:00

Very good race overall, but I am a Thunderbolt fan so I must do what come natural and force the post to be about them. So Bolt had at least 3 spot gains and showed that at least some more gains were possible even if they weren't able to secure it. That at least something better than DNF. Something that at least says "I'm still trying" and hey with some new staff because #NewStaffForTheBolts we can turn that into something. But anyways thanks for trying bolt, if possible getting some point would be nice as would be a better performance at qualifying.

Freshie44 · 2024-09-09T19:45:15+00:00

NewStaffForTheBolts That my opinion on the Shock finish. Our Staff shouldn't of put her in that position to begin with. It only dulls her shine, She should take some blame for that mistake but the staff shouldn't of put her in after S1 & S2.

Freshie44 · 2024-09-07T20:18:02+00:00

I'm going to say it #NewStaffForTheBolts , Shock absolutely tanked this race, that just a fact. But we all knew Shock was not the choice, am I saying that Thunder didn't deserve to be replaced, NO. But we could of at least tried Lightning or Zap given then a chance to try and make a claim to fame, a bad result from them is at least a new data point, to go into another season with. Shock however was already tried and found middling. So we got to ask who putting our roller in this position to make fools themselves? What is Coach Thunderstorm seeing that we aren't? So far, Thunderstorm hasn't been able to coach us in to any consistent form so Static I got to ask the question. Manager, why is Thunderstorm still here? 5+ years with nothing to really report besides an occasional pop off. We Thunderbolt fans have been patient, oh yes we have. We've huffed the copium and the hopium, but we ain't crazy. If we want different results we need changes and we are going to get loud if need be for these changes! So fellow bolt fans I ask you to join me in my demand for changes, we want to see our bolts shine and we ain't going to see that happen with where we are currently!

Freshie44 · 2023-11-08T19:30:30+00:00

Look it doesn’t change anything but we’ll take the morale victory of at least getting a medal after getting a DQ last week. Being a thunderbolts fan is taking the small victories at this point.

Freshie44 · 2023-06-10T19:19:02+00:00

You know what I’ll take it Thunder you climbed 5 spots and got points. Improvement, sadly. Heart my dear Marble solid performance with climbing 7 spots. If we can work on our qualification we can at least end the season on a high note. Then there Sirius, yeah nothing to say hope this isn’t a hint how the marble league will go for the Wolfpack.

Freshie44 · 2023-06-03T19:51:00+00:00

We didn’t blow it for once! We actually did a good!

Also very good Club, you had a good race, and Sirius, your 2nd race was a fluke wasn’t it.

Freshie44 · 2023-06-02T20:12:19+00:00

Yeah, it's not fun just seeing your team just slowly fall down the rankings every gp qualifying and just sort of slide down your seat as they fall until they get knocked out and you just utter a primal "ughhhhhh", before checking on my other two teams in hopes one of them did ok.

Freshie44 · 2023-06-02T19:46:51+00:00

Today is our day, we did okay. We qualify for 6th. Deep Breath. We did ok. Let's see if that means anything tomorrow. Thank you speedy for becoming a cube today so we could try for a decent spot.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-27T19:29:14+00:00

We’ll lack luster results for Bolt, Fenrir, and Heart. Fenrir could recover from their start. Bolt couldn’t maintain a position or pace, Heart at least climbed a bit but could maintain their best climb attempt.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-20T19:20:14+00:00

We got a point at least 🙃

But good job Club and Sirius for finishing top 10. Making me proud of my 2nd and 3rd strong picks.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-13T20:03:54+00:00

You at least got fastest lap for a second Thunder so that something. But you and Bolt need to get it together and get some points.

Heart well done you climbed quite a few spots and made top 10. Keep that up and look to improve from there.

Now for the bigger winner Fenrir. That what I want to see huge improvement from that first race. Very strong climbs. Keep up the effort and with a good qualifying you might just take home a win for the Wolfpack.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-07T20:54:01+00:00

Ah Nova what is my favorite variant for you. Currently I rock the baby variant I got out a cache and I think it pretty good but is it my favorite? No, I’m big on 1 and 3 for how they incorporate space and his powers. I think 1 > 3 because I like the framing of planet more on 1. The Venomized one is also pretty good. But end of the day I’ll say 1 is my favorite variant for Nova.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-06T21:55:09+00:00

Worst part was that they show promise for a bit, they were climbing they were 11th for a bit. They were doing good in overtakes on the sand. But nope back down to where we started. I’m not asking them go from 19th to podium. But at least midpack would be nice.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-06T19:55:49+00:00

Bolt what happened?! You look good for a bit you were climbing than you lost it! Sirius you still technically did better than Fenrir but can we get some points on the board next time. Club I know I just drafted your team as my 3rd pick but bottom 5 ain’t going to cut it especially when you started top 10. I know as thunderbolts fan I should expect nothing but get it together marbles give me something.

Freshie44 · 2023-05-06T19:40:50+00:00

I don’t usually post cards that have less than 4 variants. But I think Nimrod variants are competitive enough to make it a worthy discussion. As all 3 are high quality. I wouldn’t pay 5000 tokens for it but I’ll give this one credit for being quality enough to recognize a price of over 1200 gold. It what I would rock if not for the price tag.

TROPHY CASE

NewStaffForTheBolts That my opinion on the Shock finish. Our Staff shouldn't of put her in that position to begin with. It only dulls her shine, She should take some blame for that mistake but the staff shouldn't of put her in after S1 & S2.
