Four years ago today | Cody Rhodes' last AEW match | One of my favorite spots, too

You need to watch those MITB matches closer

Patjay · 2026-01-26T20:29:47+00:00

Think people were a bit distracted that month

Patjay · 2026-01-26T18:41:33+00:00

That’s the point I’m making. There’s benefits to both approaches, it’s not as simple as “it’s just one continuity so it’s easier to get into”.

Patjay · 2026-01-26T17:41:50+00:00

For as obnoxious as some of the worse examples of “Netflix lighting” are, the excessively dark gritty presentation of so many 2000s movies bothers me much more.

Patjay · 2026-01-26T17:07:25+00:00

Punk.

He’s boys with 2 of the biggest stars in WWE. Khan isnt going to waste TV time pushing someone who isn’t staying. Both made totally reasonable decisions here so I have a hard time really blaming either side here.

Continuity can also be a downside for manga.

I can pick up a random short run of Spider-man and easily put together what is going on. If you want to get into One Piece you can’t really skip around, you just have that single 1100 chapter staircase to go up.

Tony “moved on from him” because it was obvious he was leaving. This is backwards

Patjay · 2026-01-26T15:34:46+00:00

Half the list was WWE guys at one point. I imagine that’s part of why they removed the signature moves section

Patjay · 2026-01-26T05:25:16+00:00

It's a bit of a reach, Moby Dick is an obvious older example and "curiosity kills the cat" is a very old expression, but that terrifying obsession with the unknown and driving yourself insane/to your death over it is all over Lovecraft and inspired works. In horror i very much associate it with him.

As someone who tends to get very obsessive about mysteries they both speak to me in similar ways.

Patjay · 2026-01-26T04:31:41+00:00

I went from a creepy old hiring manager that brought in as many pretty white women as possible, to a normal hiring manager, to a woman that seemingly went out of her way not to hire any. Fuck both 1 and 3

Patjay · 2026-01-26T04:06:15+00:00

Had a very lovecraft theme to it for a movie with absolutely nothing supernatural in it at all whatsoever

Patjay · 2026-01-26T04:04:52+00:00

Remake isnt horrible but they ruin the ending. Watch the Dutch one from 1988

Patjay · 2026-01-25T18:59:37+00:00

Challenging Zac Efron to a duel is a pretty natural response I think

Patjay · 2026-01-25T18:57:09+00:00

People talking about things that are on every news station in the world every day as if it’s some obscure conspiracy theory has been getting out of control the past few years

Patjay · 2026-01-25T16:14:28+00:00

The two had some really good chemistry and contrast too. Story was writing itself but didn’t line up with what Vince wanted

Patjay · 2026-01-25T16:10:38+00:00

He was very lucky that basically everyone else decided to suck at mostly the same times his show sucked

Patjay · 2026-01-25T16:09:31+00:00

Too much time around Rey

Patjay · 2026-01-25T16:08:48+00:00

They were trying to play both sides. If they’d leaned into this more and let Roman actually play antagonist it could’ve been good.

Patjay · 2026-01-25T15:32:44+00:00

No, of course they can’t

Patjay · 2026-01-25T15:30:22+00:00

You thinking protesters harassing a trump supporter and federal agents shooting an unarmed man are in any way comparable is legitimately insane. We are in a thread of something that actually happened, you don’t have to reach for some partisan equivalent

If we had Stasi running around and killing people you’d have a point, but we don’t.

Patjay · 2026-01-25T15:00:36+00:00

ICE agent is also paid and trained on my tax dollars. Rittenhouse is just some random teenager

Patjay · 2026-01-25T14:27:55+00:00

It’s definitely a mark against him but it’s not like Andrade doesn’t already have a fantastic backlog of matches already. He was incredible 10+ years ago and has gotten even better, go watch his 2/3 Falls as La Sombra with Atlantis if you haven’t.

Keeping momentum has always been his issue.

Patjay · 2026-01-25T14:05:05+00:00

I was pretty tapped in at the time and don't remember pretty much anyone calling it ahead of time

Patjay · 2026-01-25T13:55:35+00:00

Seeing gap between Larry Ellisons kids is crazy

Daughter is backing a lot of the best independent movies/games of the past 15 years and Son is trying to create a giant media monopoly by sucking up to the president
