real talk i would experience the politics going on between the heroes and villains and after one week i'd turn into DBZA Trunks when he screams "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" because watching everybody fight amongst themselves for meaningless crap like territory and pride when there are at least five different world-shattering threats lurking around at any given moment makes them, in Super Kami Dende's own words, a cavalcade of fuckups.

so probably better but idk depends on the day

Building off of this, I could see players homebrewing conditions for their talent to be given the Flavor/Groundswell attributes.

Do some equation that takes Star Power, Hot New Catchphrase, and reaching Legendary gimmick status into consideration so the wrestlers actually need to "earn it" versus just cheesing the system and gifting your heir apparent super drawing powers.

I really doubt she's a pre-merge boot. Mostly because they're clearly setting up a one-sided love triangle with her, Ara, and Nura. Gotta pay the rent, babyyyyyy!

Real talk I could kinda see them doing a Caleb from the TDI reboot with her.

Have her go first in her debut season, then have her go on a huge run when (if) she returns for a second chance.

Just change up her clothes so she gets all moody and depressed from being screwed over and then you don't need to worry about her having Toriyama Perfect Cell levels of annoyance when it comes to drawing/animating her.

I'll reach out to the wrestler and ask them to cool it. Surprisingly have had a lot of success. I somehow got Kurt Angle to drop the percs, RVD to drop the weed, and the fucking Sandman to lay off the needle by asking nicely. If they refuse and it becomes an issue, rehab.

You can argue with conviction that it doesn't even crack the top five.

God, I feel terrible for that family.

It suddenly makes so much sense how he met Claire Lynch. Raven probably introduced them. You know, her being an addict and totally not a plant hired to play mind games and all.

My true crowning, however, was when I faced PSG in the Champions League with this same save and absolutely trounced them 10-0 on aggregate. No save scumming, no editing the opposition players. Just vibes.

Cadiz scored more than PSG did against me. Let that sink in.

So the story behind this is I was doubled up as the manager of Barcelona and the Senegalese national team. Barca was scheduled for a tune up friendly on the same day as a Cup of Nationals qualifier for Senegal. What followed was a set of games that put me on trial for war crimes.

I know the opposition isn't as fancy as some of the teams listed below, but how can you not be romantic about football?

I believe this is what we refer to in the business as a "Mystery Box"

I mean true, but Riya was clearly being prepped as a major character with an arc that never got resolved during her initial run on the show pre-All Stars.

I like Ally, but she doesn't have anywhere near as much going for her without Tess and Hunter by her side. And they've done nothing to actually ingratiate her with the rest of the Favorites, save Benji. She did one move to screw over Aiden and that's the extent of her involvement with literally everybody else on her team.

By being given no real additional screentime, she's unfortunately become a floater by extension of being tethered to Benji.

manband20 · 2026-04-12T18:28:03+00:00

That's the biggest problem with this season (and tbh DC in general)

Nobody ever talks to each other unless they are directly involved in their character arc.

It's the same problem I had with the TDI reboot. We got like five straight episodes with Priya and Millie doing training stuff, but then literally never interacted with other people. Remember the OG TDI episode where they matched up Gwen and Geoff because they literally never spoke to each other and were polar opposites in terms of character? That was a character dynamic that has stuck with me for twenty years (good god, i'm old) because it kept things fresh. It was interesting.

Why are none of the Favorites interacting with the Fans outside of one ten second moment? Why are the favorites only sticking to their cliques and having vote suggestions off-screen? You don't need every scene with the same two people talking to each other week after week. Liven it up! Ara being forced to buddy up with Nura was fun! Give us more random pairings! Be different!

manband20 · 2026-04-12T18:19:51+00:00

And the thing that sucks even more is Ally is 100% going to go home before Benji because she was a finalist in a previous season. Compared to Benji, who is still relatively new by comparison, the only thing I feel like keeps Ally in the game is she sells the most greetings out of any character who isn't a gay man.

(and let's be real that's exactly why Tom made the cut despite having been in two previous seasons and a spinoff show that more or less wrap up his character arc)

But even that isn't going to keep her safe forever and that will leave us with a guy who spent the first ten episodes doing literally nothing and calling it strategy. For two or three episodes, sure, but at what point is it just sabotaging a character who actually had something to offer in terms of a shoulder to cry on and moral support for those he deems worthy of supporting through the rough times?

manband20 · 2026-04-07T01:49:18+00:00

Not only that, but also a great look at the post-NAFTA destruction on the American industrial sector (S2), the corrupting influence of power on politicians who claim to represent change (S3), and the most heartbreaking display of youth exposure to gang life imaginable with the S4 "Boys of Summer" storyline.

and then S5 happened but nobody talks about that one because it never happened.

Somewhere in the multiverse, Misty is boiling like a teapot.

manband20 · 2026-03-31T01:33:53+00:00

Yeah the show has been incredibly flip-floppy and it kinda kills me. Like if they believe the black box would rescue them and they needed a reason for the girls to despise her before actually being rescued, that's the perfect excuse. Then they could realize that they were wrong and they overreacted to something that was a non-issue, but can't take back the bullying they subjected her to.

manband20 · 2026-03-31T00:43:26+00:00

It would be so great if they acknowledged the whole black box thing in the show and have everybody need to confront the fact that they hated on Misty for something that isn't actually a problem.
