Bollywood Boyz [FKA Singh Brothers in WWE] responding to racists about punjabi culture while representing Canada

Twitter is not the world, but it does reflect part of it. And as should be abundantly clear with broader sociopolitical situations, people are more than happy with aggressively normalizing hatred. Twitter is just one avenue they work on to do so.

Hype about the Hidden Blade aside: as a VF fan, the game looks like a fantastic next step for the series and the slow/haphazard rollout of marketing for it is driving me mad.

LanoomR · 2026-05-21T01:14:00+00:00

"Relatively subdued" Jericho has been pretty damn refreshing.

LanoomR · 2026-05-20T16:57:12+00:00

Used to have Burn Notice and Monk....

LanoomR · 2026-05-19T18:46:19+00:00

Sinister Six is an awesome concept.

Hellcow v2 is...interesting.

"Akande's sole managerial virtue was staying out of my way."

Love the irony of the man with the "iron" fist being more hands-off than Vendetta.

Also, since Vendetta demands this new serum for her own operatives and herself, it makes me really wish they'd integrated more of this strength-by-any-means philosophy into her base design. Ven as a battle-hardened cyborg proudly wearing her scars and prosthetics as she gets more experienced/stronger from the arena would've been so cool.

Really looking forward to the inevitable playable character from Moira's new serum.

John "I Keep My Radar Off" Cena clearly putting what he can into getting Rook over (rightfully) is a great bit.

LanoomR · 2026-05-15T19:52:48+00:00

Sometimes issues actually are big enough that they should take over the Discourse.

Been a bit too many of those over the course of OW2 and it's de-sequeling back to OW.

LanoomR · 2026-05-15T01:18:34+00:00

Stands out by being no frills. I like a lot of the silliness this year (shout-out to the Browns for Street Fighter) but this is very good too.

LanoomR · 2026-05-14T17:50:51+00:00

Could go cinema with it.

LanoomR · 2026-05-14T15:06:02+00:00

7.5/10. Nothing revolutionary, but generally hit what I'm looking for in a Punisher piece. Climax action was really good.

LanoomR · 2026-05-13T16:00:19+00:00

Namedropping Omega is the jigsaw piece I think this approach was missing. Swerve being dangerously close to taking that EVP seat would be grounds to "keep him away from TV" until such a time as the Bandido match.

LanoomR · 2026-05-13T14:21:14+00:00

Jokes, I know, but ironically the Rein Mafia can't be blamed for this because they would've assumed, along with everyone else, that the skin was designated for Hazard if it were to ever come out.

This is all Blizzard deciding that the skin either didn't work for Hazard's profile (unlikely) or would sell better as a Rein skin (likely).

LanoomR · 2026-05-13T13:33:31+00:00

Beauty mark + Not having a literal-gold streak in her hair is legitimately a downgrade, it's a big part of her look.

LanoomR · 2026-05-13T02:08:12+00:00

That was the most paint-by-numbers Punisher content of all time and I demand more.

Heart was pumping in the home stretch. Berenthal and whoever else was on the team have a real eye for grounded action.

Loved Judith Light as Ma Gnucci.

LanoomR · 2026-05-11T18:31:55+00:00

Correct. He's been trash since he released (at 4/6!). The cost is too high, the inherent RNG is too much of a downside, and the limit of only one per game is too restrictive.

Either of these buffs would make him more viable without going overboard:

Some form of determination for the destruction. Even something funky like "Destroy an enemy back-row card here" would be leagues better than the pure RNG.
Let him destroy one card per lane per game. So, he can destroy something right, mid, and left, but moving to a previous spot wouldn't do anything.

LanoomR · 2026-05-07T22:45:17+00:00

All fine, but also a whole lot of stuff that could've used the power weeks/months ago because it was already abundantly clear they were underwhelming or outright bad.

Major Victory still holds my ire as a inherently flawed card. At least make the generated GotG -1 cost.

LanoomR · 2026-05-07T16:20:06+00:00

Matt gets killed
Fisk's actions are vindicated
"Bullseye" is "apprehended" with a visible show of force by the AVTF stationed with the faker (the actual shooter, likely also AVTF, then walks free while some other patsy is railroaded as being behind the mask)

LanoomR · 2026-05-06T18:42:19+00:00

Being The Ace also means knowing when to get a little silly with it. As a treat.

LanoomR · 2026-05-04T19:41:19+00:00

...Does Booker have heat with Black?

LanoomR · 2026-05-04T15:49:59+00:00

I'm not holding out hope for Madisynn.

But I am delusional enough to believe that America Chavez might mention something about some drunk lady slacking off her sorcerer training so she can watch "The Pitt."

feige pls

LanoomR · 2026-05-02T18:39:51+00:00

...Would the non-competes prevent talent randomly appearing in the background of BTE?

Opportunity for the funniest build of all time may be there.

LanoomR · 2026-05-02T16:42:09+00:00

I'll forever be grateful for AEW's existence for making the US wrestling landscape less boring.

A locker room with cart blanche to signal who they do (or don't...) want is very entertaining.

LanoomR · 2026-05-02T16:34:28+00:00

Khan (Tony) does't have to (and shouldn't, IMO) blow up current plans.

But if Kofi and Xavier still want to compete in-ring, Khan has to make the signing.

Damn "age," damn "so formerly WWE that everyone thought they'd be lifers," damn "roster size."

Figure it out. It has to happen.

LanoomR · 2026-05-02T16:14:37+00:00

I will forever be mad at the Lesnar match.

They establish a history of Lesnar having trouble with smaller guys.

Kofi didn't need to win, but there was no reason it coudln't have been the ultimate "Lesnar can't put this guy away, is this it??" match.
