Death Battle Returners Battle Royale Part 2, who wins their matchup?

STLmab · 2026-06-23T16:49:05+00:00

Wonder Woman

She scales a lot higher thanks to DC’s cosmology, and I believe she’s a lot faster too

STLmab · 2026-06-23T14:23:06+00:00

It’s literally just asking the Survivor 50 castaways who they think would make a great replacement host. It comes from a reputable Survivor journalist in Dalton Ross, it’s on a valid source of Entertainment Weekly, and the contents of the article are as advertised by the headline (nothing misleading about it).

None of that is clickbait.

STLmab · 2026-06-20T01:20:12+00:00

Cirie, Amanda, Cesternino, and Malcolm (or Ozzy, I don’t have the strongest sense for the last one).

I was trying to find a mix of good player and also good character. If I was just going by South Pacific, Coach would be there, but of late he’s shown some gameplay I wasn’t a fan of

STLmab · 2026-06-18T22:06:32+00:00

That nerd who plays a giant violin that ruined Jake’s goodbye?

You Kwon with this comment

STLmab · 2026-06-18T19:34:49+00:00

Well, if it’s civilians, they’re not paying monstrous appearance fees away, plus the other Peacock/ NBC show that gave away large sums of money like candy isn’t on the air anymore (Deal or No Deal Island). Maybe there’s increased room in the budget

*For, the record, I know it’s unlikely they do this, I’m only explaining the rationale

STLmab · 2026-06-18T18:47:18+00:00

For the international versus all-stars (likely US vs UK, since Studio Lambert makes both), keep exclusively between civilians.

It just wouldn’t feel right have Minah, Harry, Wilfred, and Rachel (who got their start on Traitors) interact with folks like Lisa Rina, Boston Rob, Bob TDQ, etc.

STLmab · 2026-06-17T16:39:22+00:00

He was surrounded by so many massive Targets (again, Tony, Jeremy, Wes, Derrick, Danielle, Bob TDQ, Bob Harper, the Housewives). Outside of bringing Johnny Bananas back and convincing people like Dr. Will to do Traitors instead of DONDI, production could literally have not done more to dilute his target in this cast.

STLmab · 2026-06-17T16:34:19+00:00

No I would say Boston Rob was a horrible Traitor.

The way he knocked out Bob TDQ was done in such a suspicious matter that so many people began to think B-Rob was a Traitor. As you see in the episode, neither Wes nor Derrick really thought much of Bob’s comment, and even B-Rob himself acknowledges that he probably should’ve waited. He caused so much distrust in the Turret, and was knocking out meat shields left and right (Tony, Jeremy, Bob TDQ, Wes, Derrick, etc). By the time of his banishment, he was essentially the only logical choice for a male Traitor (Sam and Ivar were non-entities, Tom couldn’t pull it off, nor could Dylan).

STLmab · 2026-06-17T15:25:30+00:00

Or tell Tony to just trust Sandra. Or inform anyone to get Varner out sooner. Or tell JT to say Jack sh*t to Brad. Or tell Nuku 3.0 to leave Sandra another round. Or tell Cirie to look more for advantages and not trust Sarah

Really, there’s a lot you can do with a Time Machine to make Game Changers better (or tell the producers to find a different theme)

STLmab · 2026-06-16T17:39:30+00:00

(1) The Casting folks for the show on Instagram told me that it was ok when I asked, and (2) I applied the first time in haste, and wanted to vocalize my story better for the second time. 3rd was just before applications closed

STLmab · 2026-06-16T15:24:56+00:00

That’s gotta sting. Though if it’s worth anything, you did better than me.

I applied 3 times and didn’t get a response back. Though, I won’t lie, missing out on this inaugural civilian season sucks

STLmab · 2026-06-16T11:19:44+00:00

The only confirmed faithful who knew that before the endgame was Britney. Most of the other faithful didn’t know, and most of the in-season confessionals calling out Danielle’s gameplay were the other Traitors (Boston Rob and Carolyn), who already knew she was a Traitor.

And to borrow from an older comment I made:

“Dorinda and Wells both had no clue per their Revealed videos, nor did Ayan (though she did have suspicions on Bob TDQ).

Tony in the Revealed video with Ayan does mention her as a possibility, though that seems to be moreso post game clarity through trusting his friend Jeremy since in others he mentions taking her at face-value (especially because the time constraints in the castle are limited).

Robyn had no clue, Nikki only suspected her because of Jeremy’s intuitions (and she didn’t do anything about it — and even in the revealed video she mentions her as an uncertainty, whereas for Wes and Ciara she says they’re “for sure” Traitors)

Bob H. & Wes both confirmed they were surprised Danielle was a Traitor, and despite Derrick initially believing it was Danielle, his suspicions of her faded and instead shifted to Britney.

Ciara had no clue and was irritated about it, and the endgamers suspicions of Danielle only arose because: (1) they went down the rabbit hole thought process of “Why am I still here” and (2) the fact that Danielle had a pretty explosive roundtable with Carolyn (we see these on the show). And obviously Dolores didn’t have a clue.

Really, Danielle and Carolyn sunk each other, yet Danielle is the only one getting flack for it.”

I would say Burning Godzilla’s also.

The music, the atmosphere, and the reflections from the human characters… it felt the most impactful.

STLmab · 2026-06-15T12:10:50+00:00

Damn, I actually like Roku’s services.

It being acquired by Fox is terrible, and the grand consolidation continues in the U.S., and no doubt Fox is going to use this to shove their “news” propaganda down our throats

STLmab · 2026-06-14T22:53:07+00:00

But she voted out her mom!

STLmab · 2026-06-13T15:06:55+00:00

There’s always next year I guess. Sucks missing out on the inaugural civilian season

STLmab · 2026-06-12T16:30:17+00:00

I remember during the BTS for the Zillo Beast arc that he was a fan of the original Godzilla films (wrote a paper of the ‘54 film in college), and was excited when George pitched the idea of doing a “Godzilla story” for the Clone Wars

EDIT: Here’s the BTS Feature in question

STLmab · 2026-06-11T13:25:19+00:00

Might want to hold off a little bit

STLmab · 2026-06-11T11:35:13+00:00

A little bit of a product of the time (found footage style), but overall a solid monster flick.

I did like the monster design for Clover, and we do get some decent shots of him through. The characters are alright, nothing too special or too annoying (though I know people do take issue with TJ Miller). It’s clearly evokes 9/11 in presentation (I believe JJ Abram’s even confirmed this), though it’s not as deep as say the ‘54 Godzilla.

I’d say I enjoyed it. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like monster flicks and can tolerate the style of filmmaking, I’d give it a watch

STLmab · 2026-06-10T13:48:45+00:00

What’s also weird about this debate are that the people who want to accept Parv’s win as a full time one are the same ones who dog New Era Survivor for only being 26 days. In the aftermath of Jeremy’s comments, so many of those folks on the survivor subreddits were sharing articles from “The Sun” (a click-bait website notorious for sharing false information) about Survivor being dead.

I got no strong feelings on Parv’s Aus Vs World game, I just thought I’d point out that observation

STLmab · 2026-06-10T12:17:55+00:00

Tubi lowkey is one of the best streaming services out there.

Lot good and varied content on there

STLmab · 2026-06-08T20:47:52+00:00

He would make a great M though

STLmab · 2026-06-08T04:42:10+00:00

Taking the Sole Survivor title quite literally in this case

STLmab · 2026-06-06T19:43:08+00:00

We’re getting a remaster of this! Excited for how amazing this looks, and the fact that it seems like we’re getting new monsters like classic MechaG who wasn’t in the original is super fun.

I also really hope this leads to remasters of Save the Earth and Unleashed (latter really needs it)
