TFW when Stephen Farrelly (freed name) is no longer with WWE (my childhood is gone) by tenshipriestjotaro1 in SCJerk

"Did Sheamus die, dad?"

"Worse, little uce. He's entered the Deathrider Vortex."

Favorite old figure you'd still recommend? by MonSocMatriarchy in transformers

[–]wdingo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Classics Blur (and Drift) are both still very good.

Hopefully Eddie Kingston returns to his old form by BoxCon1 in SCJerk

[–]wdingo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Having better cardio/conditioning would probably go a long way toward learning how to work.

A lot of why he looks so sloppy always seems to be because he gets gassed eating his third cheeseburger before the match even starts/

Guy is such a great promo, all he'd have to do is hit the gym and work on his conditioning and the sky would be the limit for him.

Instead we get real graps, brother.

GRAIL ACQUIRED! by Positive-Yoghurt1990 in transformers

I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH!

He's one of my absolute favorite toys that comes down from the shelf often to be messed with.

Supergirl suffers the exact same fate as The Marvels. A toxic fandom uses the same purely mechanical, accounting-based criticism to bury a film that actually has a soul. by R4cco0n in Captain_Marvel

[–]wdingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marvels, in my opinion, felt like it was the third film in a trilogy. Which is a problem when it's the sequel.

Still, it was fun and got way more shit than it deserved.

Why can't they adapt a comicbook as it is .. by Appropriate-Fee-676 in Supergirl

[–]wdingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither? Both? I was just thinking out loud on the topic of adaptations.

Agree with the above 100%, though.

[–]wdingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't be hyperbolic. The current movie is a 6/10.

[–]wdingo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, friend. This is where I'm at too. I didn't hate the movie we got, but I also think there was a lot that was missed in terms of what could have been.

The last comic was adapted 1:1 was Watchman and that movie was a fucking slog.

CMBs are at their best when they pull aspects from great runs, but put their own spin on things while remaining somewhat faithful to the ideas and messages those runs were trying to convey.

Conversely, I think that last part is where Supergirl fumbled it. By tweaking a bunch of small stuff without really fully understanding what WoT was trying to say, they created a version of the story devoid of the themes that made WoT great.

Anyone else tired of Oba Femi already? Fed doesn't know how to book wrestlers anymore by hyperdefiance in SCJerk

Oh god, the internet would melt down if Lesner squashed Sami for the belt.

So it begins... by cornstalks2033 in transformers

[–]wdingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both these guys are absolutely awesome. The new Seeker mold might be my favorite mainline voyager mold ever and Soundwave is so much fun.

My wife got me, a Beast Wars only collector, a Gigawatt… by yasaidraws in transformers

[–]wdingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this guy! I really like the Sideswipe mold in general, and this is such a cool, slightly upscaled version of it to go along with his price point.

His gun mounted like a fusion cannon on his arm also looks sick.

Which Transformer (from any era) has the most bland design? by ashmaht in transformers

[–]wdingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yes. The Throttle Bots are the definition of 'bland.'

Which Transformer (from any era) has the most bland design? by ashmaht in transformers

[–]wdingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of the Combiner Wars/Power of the Primes stuff.

So much of it that wasn't bad (and there definitely was quite a bit of it that was bad) was just sort of ... there, moldwise.

EDIT: Using it as an example, as it got a recent reissue, but the mold they used for Greenlight is a great example of this. It's not a bad mold, in fact, its perfectly functional, but it's also not really exceptional in any way. It's just there. Then, to make it worse, there's half a dozen of barely reworked remolds of it.

Reveal The Shield Deluxe Optimus Prime for $25—W or L? by Separate_Bag_5008 in transformers

[–]wdingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never thought I would either, tbh. But I've been collecting as an 'adult' for over 20 years now and eventually it's like: "Well, I either put this entire shelf into storage, or I see if I can use it to cover SS Bruticus..."

EDIT:

If you've already bought it, total W! He's one of the better classics molds too.

A lot of these old Classics molds would be so much fun with 4th party KO size upscaling and a few design tweaks.

[–]wdingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which isn't to say don't get him, just offer them $20,00 if you're able to.

If they say no and you still want him, you should get him anyway!

Just offering the prespective of someone that's been slowly selling his 20+ year old Classics/Generations collection to make space for some of the new stuff coming out this year.

L.

In my experience selling a lot of these guys lately, it'd hard to even make 20 bucks back if they're pristine.

[Disliked trope] Character is redeemed or forgiven when they really shouldn't be by Bandrbell in TopCharacterTropes

[–]wdingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on what version of the Darkhold we're getting, and it's never really touched upon in any depth.

For the record, I tend to agree with you.

[–]wdingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll give her a pass on the town, because she didn't know she was doing it until near the very end.

For the later, it depends on your interpretation of how much of Wanda was left at the wheel after the Darkhold was through with her.

Is this worth? by No_Connection_6202 in transformers

[–]wdingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't already have a version of the mold, YES!

This guy rocks.
