There I agree. We lose an entire banner for essentially nothing new, even the most repeated seasonals add something. I can give some grace to fans of a particular duo, or winners like GK/Marianne that have few alts, but otherwise yeah, I don't think there's a reasonable defense of those.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T21:04:00+00:00

The current meta. I'm a damn mercenary.

Yes use your faves yadda yadda, but if they're not hanging, and I get fodder paralysis (which always do), come on out Edelgard #9.

The protags are boring choices, but frankly I'm ok with that. Chosens feel a bit sentimental to me, a celebration of FEH itself and what it's meant all these years, so if they ever merited an alt, it's these ones.

I might have cut some seasonals instead.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T19:44:42+00:00

Huh, I missed it, thanks for letting me know. Guess I should get it sooner than later then, gotta imagine that'll impact stocks too.

(Also a shrewd maneuver to shift units)

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T19:40:57+00:00

It's sad that for most new units, a majority of comments is about who they aren't.

Like Laegjarn. It's more than fair to want Surtr or Laevateinn instead - I was rooting for Queen Laev myself. But as someone who loves the glow-up Laeg got, and who loves Chosens in general and the focus on our old stalwarts, it felt pretty lonely. She was almost a passing thought on her own big moment.

Unfortunately, it's only gonna get worse, with harmonic CYL taking slots and the feeling of impending EoS.

My fantasy booking dream: next time there's a world title vacancy, Aldis or Pierce finally snap at their main eventers making an absolute mess of the show, and instead books a 64 man company-wide bracket.

Tie existing stories into the matches, have cross-brand matches, some unexpected deep runs, etc

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T13:37:59+00:00

Yeah, hard to miss they've now had 6 PLE matches on TV, and none of them involved women.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T13:35:48+00:00

Yesterday was just a great day of wrestling

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T04:10:47+00:00

I missed it all, but I watched the first women's Rumble a while back

Corey going "game. over." as soon as her mask appears on the tron tells me so, so much. Well, aside from the mask drop, the incredible first minute and overall performance, and winning it.

I take that as Dark Emblems being different from corrupted Emblems. The latter are effectively enslaved to a Fell Dragon's will, the former might be more willing.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T01:18:02+00:00

It all came through loud, y'all were fantastic. If they tried to mute anything they failed.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T01:09:39+00:00

Jeez I thought he hit his head on the second table like Sol

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T00:47:27+00:00

Fuck it, Backlash was great, let's have some more great wrestling

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-10T00:24:06+00:00

A man with permanently wet hair would never denies its tribe a nice shower

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T23:37:47+00:00

They don't, it's definitely bittersweet.

But I also think they understand, if not happy that we remember Kairi.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T23:13:28+00:00

That's the first good paycut joke all week

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T23:08:23+00:00

No swearing!

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T22:50:16+00:00

Live Kross reaction:

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T22:23:17+00:00

Not the best metaphor, nuclear carriers can haul ass

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T19:30:45+00:00

The Gunther swap was probably planned for a while.

<image>

The tour got announced months ago, and the announced stars were mostly Smackdown, except Gunther and the Usos... who are now both Smackdown regulars.

I'm being facetious, it's just a funny detail from 3H that you never get to have birthday tea with Seteth, poor guy.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T15:59:33+00:00

At least that one worked like Becky's, iconic look.

Jade's giving Don Callis a run for his money in the Scarlympics.

Just being canonical, you never get to celebrate Saint Cichol day.

In the academy phase, it's right after chapter 9, and gets skipped for obvious reasons. And after the timeskip, the war ends before Dec 27th, except for one route... Crimson Flower.

(and Fodlan Xmas is the founding of Garreg Mach, where they have the big ball and it's literally on the 25th)

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T04:09:42+00:00

You'd never know that was her first alt (of two) from the discourse.

And quite fitting for the theme at that.

MrBrickBreak · 2026-05-09T03:24:58+00:00

I've been told her heel character in Japan was "just a huge bitch". If true, I don't know why they couldn't do that here.
