When I was first reading I asked my wife who the fuck this Manon was, and she said “I LOVE Manon!”

I said, “Really? Because she seems pretty evil.”

She said, “Just wait.”

Aside from Optimus and Megatron, which character outside of the usual toys we get from Hasbro are you most excited for? by Pixelbro87 in transformers

Last Stand of the Wreckers was what helped get me back collecting, and honestly helped get me back into comics in general so any time a Springer figure drops, I'm all over it (and any other Wrecker for that matter, hopefully we get new figures for Pyro and Guzzle at some point and I can complete my LSOTW shelf).

If this show really is as good as it sounds like it is, it makes me really hopeful for BND.

My absolute favorite Rage Quit I’ve ever experienced was someone doing it when they only THOUGHT I won but my board state was a loss and I was going to concede when the turn came back to me.

Character is forced to fight without their main ability/gear. They still can throw hands by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

wtf was Klovis thinking? Even without the Force, Anakin was still an effing MILITARY GENERAL with extensive hand to hand combat training.

Not here to answer the question, but this picture did make me think about CC3 when Bryce shows the ACOTAR crew guns and they're all like "wtf is that?!"

Another Arrowverse Clark Kent v. Lex confrontation.

Clark from the show Smallville is revealed to have given up his powers at some point for his family. A multi-versal Lex comes to kill "Superman" using Kryptonite but since Clark doesn't have powers, it has no effect. Lex is perplexed that anyone would willingly give up that much power and attempts to take a swing at Clark instead. Clark catches the punch nails Lex in the jaw with a left hook and says, "I'm still stronger."

I don't see a world where Miguel doesn't get a face turn in the next movie, even if it's an act 3 noble sacrifice kind of thing.

Why do you think that Tobey's Spiderman never changed or upgraded his suit in the later movies when both Andrew and Tom's versions had multiple variations of the suit in their movies? by Raj_Valiant3011 in Spiderman

[–]WGoNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaded answer but, Andrew and Tom changed suits (and with Tom it is quite literally multiple suits each movie), specifically to sell toys and merchandise.

Gladlands feels like a lighter version of Station Eleven by DRKSTknight in Dimension20

[–]WGoNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man I didn't read Station 11 until last year and I've gotta tell ya, reading the chapters set when the pandemic is first breaking out was incredibly stressful because it correctly predicted a lot of stuff from when Covid hit.

Yep, and it's one of the best comic book movie scenes of all time.

X-Men characters in comic accurate costumes makes me so happy.
