This isn't me attempting to flame Solo Leveling fans. A-1 Pictures has done a fine job with the urban fantasy action premise, and it's a gorgeous sight to behold, whether in anime form, its gorgeous manhwa courtesy of studio REDICE, or even its original novel format. The series is fine. But it should be considered the gateway, and this is where its staunchest fans seem to completely stop themselves from pushing further. Seriously, Solo Leveling is an engaging premise, but it's also familiar, and the protagonist at its heart, Sung Jinwoo, isn't even the best protagonist you can get in a power fantasy like this. He is the quintessential one we all know, but that is not a de…

With rumors that Chris Evans' Steve Rogers may be returning in the next Avengers movie, which of the OG Avengers (alive or dead) are you most hyped to see return - even if they aren't yet confirmed?

More of a generic Trek ... thought, but is anyone else of the opinion that crossbreeds or hybrids should be a rarity in Trek? I feel characters like Spock, Ziyal, B'Elanna etc would've been far more unique if they were a fluke, in that crossbreeding should be a rarity or a genetic anomaly rather than mere chance or intervention. This stems from the hybrids that we're scheduled to meet in the academy show; if hybrids are a common occurrence then the specific traits of the individual species are (I feel) more lost on us. I know (per TNG The Chase) we're all arguably distant cousins anyway, but it's not like we're talking across continents here; we're talking across space. T…

I’ve really been enjoying what Geoff Johns is building with the Geiger universe over at Image. I love Geiger, Junkyard Joe, and Rook: Exodus. The Blizzard is another great book from the same group. I’m glad they resumed Rook: Exodus because issue #7 was really good and it feels like the story is finally picking up again. The new warden at the end of the issue was a nice surprise. I haven’t read Redcoat yet, but it’s on my list. This whole universe has been surprisingly consistent. It feels like Johns is slowly building Image’s own connected world, and it’s been a lot of fun to read. I went a little crazy early on and bought several copies and variants of the first Geiger …

... but Batman: Dark Patterns is actually the best Batman book being published right now, and too many people are sleeping on it. Anyone else reading this?

I’ve been replaying some older superhero games lately, and it reminded me how good Marvel: Ultimate Alliance was. The roster, the team combos, the storylines, and the overall style really captured that crossover energy we still don’t see often in modern Marvel games. My son and I have great memories of playing that game together. My wife and I played it a lot too, and it was one of those rare games that brought the whole family in. My son got Ultimate Alliance 3 on the Switch, but he hated it. It just didn’t have the same tone or replay value as the originals. He’s wanted the Gold Edition of the first game for years because of the extra characters, but it’s impossible to …

When "The Boys" first premiered on Amazon Prime, it totally changed my perspective about superhero content. We always saw the powerful people as the heroes, but this show brilliantly portrayed the flawed nature of being human. Anyone with superpowers is also human, and we all are on a spectrum of grey. Continuing the dark universe of people with extraordinary powers, Gen V is unlocking new angles with every episode. So, for everyone who loves this show, here is a chance to put your two bucks in its praise. Let's discuss what you expect for the finale and how dark you want it to go. I will start with a few things I noticed that might come true in this week's episode. - S…

Thoughts? I wasn't sold on Wolverine based on the leaked footage (and traversal) but there's some genuinely cool stuff in this trailer. The character designs are *chef's kiss.

While re-reading a favorite comic is great, there are just times I wish I could go back and read something for the first time all over again. For me, I think that might be Marvels.

Any movie from any genre as long as it was released in the ‘80s. For instance, I’d love one last A Nightmare on Elm Street movie with Robert England and Heather Langenkamp.

Well, every online forum eventually needs this discussion, so I'm happy to get it started here. In the last year or so, I've been less hopeful about ever reading The Winds of Winter than I have been at any other time since getting into the series. Still, I think I'll always have some glimmer of hope that GRRM will give us a great ending. At the very least, it makes it easier to get up every morning if I keep hope alive 😭 This is a pretty deep rabbit hole with a lot of warrens to go down, including GRRM's historical writing pace and his history of leaving ambitious works unfinished. On the other hand, there's one train of thought that really makes me hopeful, which is that…

I honestly don't know if they did in one of the latest chapters (I haven't checked as of yet...) Either way out of all the characters in the DBZ universe the fact that those two have never fought to any degree is pretty egregious. I mean I know that they technically never really had a reason to especially with Goku and Vegeta constantly off world and always striving to break their limits. All in all, With Piccolo now being at least in that same S tier with his Orange form he should at least have

According to the latest X-Men rumors, Magneto will be 30-35 years old in the MCU reboot. Fans are concerned they're going to scrub the character's Holocaust backstory. What do you make of this? And how would you handle this if you were Kevin Feige?

During the Tournament of Power, when Goku unlocked Ultra Instinct, Vegeta showed interest in that form, so he tried to achieve it himself but was unlucky. Instead, he ended up achieving SSB Evolution. Vegeta then stated that he'd rather build up power based on his Saiyan heritage, but instead, he goes down the God of Destruction path.
