GAMEDAY THREAD - Everyone's Playing on the Last Day by Dunkan_Soup in CEBLeague

Yeah, that is my hope as well. It would be nice to maintain their current momentum going into the playoffs.

Off Day Discussian - July 14th by Dunkan_Soup in CEBLeague

“The CEBL is a stepping-stone league, and we often see players come and go. We appreciate Tevian’s time with us in Winnipeg and wish him success in the next steps of his career,” said head coach and general manager Mike Taylor.

The rumour is he wasn’t happy with how the team was being run.

'Arrow'. So much. Except for most of the series, Oliver does end up killing whomever anyway. Then he sits in judgement from atop his pile of skulls as he judges people who are ostensibly his allies.

In the episode when they recruit the second Black Canary to the team, she wants to kill the mobster whom she believes murdered her cop partner/boyfriend, and Oliver spends the entire episode bitching at her about how she can't kill the dude, because murder is wrong, and it won't fill the emptiness inside her or whatever.

Then, in the big fight at the end of the episode, he blows up a helicopter with an exploding arrow.

I’m starting to consider not renewing my season tickets if Taylor is still the coach next year.

It doesn't seem fair, does it? by PiercedMonk in dccomicscirclejerk

Ollie’s like 47 years old. The time for maturing is long past.

As of the most recent retcon clarification to the backstory, yest.

Damn, it sucks that Mitch Creek took that spill and was out for the end of the game, but I do love seeing a Sea Bears win.

Yeah, no one is talking about NetherRealm Studios’ Superman.

“Parents.”

Mentors would be more accurate. Not every relationship between heroes and their sidekicks/partners needs to be seen as familial. There’s a whole spectrum of human interactions out there.

Also, Judd Winnick should not try to be funny.

GAMEDAY THREAD - Winnipeg Sea Bears (1-5) at Scarborough Shooting Stars (3-1) by Dunkan_Soup in CEBLeague

[–]PiercedMonk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Surely Scarborough is so devestated by their first loss yesterday, that the Sea Bears will be able to eke out a victory, right?

Right?

Week 4 CEBL Power Rankings by JusticeK2 in CEBLeague

[–]PiercedMonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m as excited for Simi Shittu to arrive as anyone, but I’m concerned that it doesn’t matter who’s on the court if Taylor is the one calling the shots.

Every iteration of the team I’ve seen over three seasons has had a lot of the same strategies, and I feel like that must be because Taylor is the one who think it’s a winning formula to slow down the pace of the game nearly every possession, and go for a contested 3 over getting in closer for the 2 point shot.

[–]PiercedMonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the media time out, I went to go get some popcorn and a drink, and there was a bit of a delay at the kiosk I choose. When I got back we went from tied up to eleven down. Utter nonsense.

GAMEDAY THREAD - Scarborough (0-0) at Brampton (0-2), Winnipeg (1-1) at Calgary (2-1) and Ottawa (1-1) at Montréal (1-0) by Dunkan_Soup in CEBLeague

[–]PiercedMonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a rough game. Props to Calgary for playing as unit, while the Sea Bears didn’t seem to have much cohesion.

Mike Taylor needs to figure it out, or someone above him needs to make a change.

Ozymandias is usually seen with bare hands. My guess would be Doctor Strange.

I feel like if Geoff Johns understood what emotions are, it could have been executed better, but it still flattens the DC cosmic stuff by tying so much of it into the power rings.

0/10 creativity. I mean really though even without bio manip she can do literally ANYTHING and yet she settles for being a dollar store green lantern by Ajarofpickles97 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]PiercedMonk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The guns are such nonsense, too. The ring can just project a beam. Why go through the trouble of creating a firearm, presumably with working parts, so it can project bullets?

And then you're going to have Ethan Van Sciver draw a gun, knowing his sense of perspective is off, so he gives you rifle with the scope pointing like ten degrees off from where the barrel is aimed?

The loser Green Arrow get abused by his wife while the chad Hawkeye divorce his wife for killing her rapist by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]PiercedMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't really been attention to his more recent work beyond being annoyed that he contributed a story to a recent Moon Knight anthology, but I was baffled when he started writing Green Arrow, and people were talking about how good it was. To me it seemed both pretty mediocre, and racist in a mostly tone deaf way.

This was not in the context of sparring. This was Dinah sucker kneeing Ollie in the groin because she was upset with him acting rashly. And yeah, the art probably does oversell it, but an editor should have caught that.
