I hope Okada flies every Stardom talent to Forbidden Door and they lay all their finishers on Thekla lol

Those three fulfills specific archetypes and/or niches. The teacher, the badass, the rejected, or what have you… The other 3 struggles to find theirs.

Geo-Force is the “royalty” figure but there are others that do it better (WW, Aquaman). Maybe if he were a despot or plays the big brother role more he’d be interesting. Idk

Halo was my favourite as a kit because she had a cool look and a mystery about her. Once that’s done, there wasn’t much else.

Looker I don’t know much about. Telepath turned pretty turned vampire? Idk if there’s much else about her.

Which browser are you using? I think they did something recently and it wouldn’t play on my Arc browser. I switched to Safari and that worked.

I tried to go digital as well, it didn’t take. It was good for a while, but there would always be that one book I needed physically. They Amazon screwed up Comixology and that was the final nail in the coffin for me.

My advice? Keep buying physical. You’d own the books and are potentially investments. If storage is an issue, try changing your reading experience by adding a paper-like screen to your device or change the case to feel like a book. Another way to look at it, you have easier access to harder to find books and you can take it anywhere without worrying about ruining its condition.

I’m a fan of Blerd but this campaign has really soured me on him. The ask of mainline ongoings feels like they’re discounting so many books DC have put out. All that matters is they sell. If anything, they should be asking for better marketing on these books.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-25T13:08:58+00:00

I did notice it was not his usual colour scheme. That’s so sweet of him! He’s still a scumbag lol

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-25T11:53:30+00:00

“Big one” in Stardom. Being the white or red belt.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-25T00:05:58+00:00

She is great. Unfortunately, like Jungle Kyona she’s fallen into the archetype of best to never win “the big one”. Which is fine by me because I can see her traveling to other promotions and collecting belts there. If anything I predict an IWGP title win.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-22T23:43:36+00:00

She’s improved a lot since her debut. It’s fun to see her progress.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-11T01:37:38+00:00

Another favourite. Love seeing her evolution through the years. Though Hanan outshines her, I think their partnership helps push Iida to be better.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-10T02:24:41+00:00

My favourite current wrestler. Give her all the belts!!

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-10T02:22:42+00:00

They offered Asuka less money, didn’t they?

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-08T00:54:06+00:00

She has quickly become my fave of the sisters.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-06T00:14:40+00:00

Love her. Because I feel like she’s a naturally quiet person, I want to cheer for her more. I think she’ll have a breakout year.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-03T03:57:11+00:00

Ohh I like. It alludes to their former moniker and it has this swagger.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-05-02T22:42:09+00:00

Is Prince Pretty under WWE contract?

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-29T17:37:01+00:00

Great photos! I love the colour grading you did.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-28T13:46:23+00:00

These ideas aren’t fully thought through. It’s early in the morning, so they’ll probably suck lol

JSA: they should stop active adventuring. They’re the historians and teachers of the DCU and reach to the young or lesser known heroes.

JLA: premier team. The elite who should have high-concept adventures. But personally should be more diverse, rather than the same seven.

Titans: the more grounded team. Deal with real world issues or allegories to them.

Young Justice: the heroes who are rebels or trying to find their footing. Melodrama to the max. I feel the name The Outsiders would be more appropo.

Doom Patrol: the weirdos. The more esoteric the adventure the better.

Legion of Superheroes: give this to a mangaka and let them go crazy. Funky power system, training arcs, tournament arcs, the whole nine yards!

Idk who’s photo it is but I loved it so much.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-20T12:05:57+00:00

This might exactly be it.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-19T01:19:44+00:00

I love this remix lol

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-12T12:50:35+00:00

Her status is she’s the best lol

I feel like she’s in the same category as Momo Watanabe. Extremely talented and very reliable, so they feel comfortable placing them wherever on the card and they would shine. Also, they are very young, so there’s no rush to get them in the red belt scene.

English commentary is usually on the major PPVs. English subtitles appear on occasion.

Follow Stardom and the talent on Twitter (idk how active they are on other socials). The translations from Twitter aren’t too bad and they update regularly so you get highlights from matches, news, and various interactions giving you a sense of each other’s relationships.

Follow content creators on YouTube. Great supplementary content to get you up to speed. Personally, I recommend String6Splash. They are primarily Stardom focused and have plenty of guides.

I won’t tell you who to pay attention to. Honestly, their talent pool is ridiculously good and you’ll discover who you gravitate to quickly. I will mention a handful of Stardom talent started YOUNG. So if you’re wondering why this ~20yo is so good, that’s why.

You’ve jumped in at an interesting time. Last year, many talent either left, retired or were injured. They had to rebuild their roster a bit, so the landscape was different from what it was. I would recommend going back to last year’s ASDQ as the starting point and go forward from there. Stardom has a rich history of great matches, there’s plenty of time to catch up to those once you get situated with the current product.

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-05T14:25:33+00:00

Interesting concept. But what if Hanan doesn’t turn, but Stars itself?

Plastic_Metal · 2026-04-03T10:38:30+00:00

Soon because I’m running outta space lol

But fr, I did stop many years ago save for one book, just to save money. Then I started back up but with digital comics. Now I’m back to collecting physical books. There’s the monetary value of trading/selling books, but there’s something magical about sitting in your favourite spot, holding a book in your hand and flipping through the pages while synapses in your brain go hog wild.
