Who's your favorite Robin?
Heck, I think Dick was a better Batman than Bruce. LOL

If Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars Disappoint, Are You Still Giving MCU Phase 7 A Chance???
I wll 100% not give up on the MCU. I love the movies that even others seemed to hate, and feel people are expecting too much from what were solid films. I hate the fact that so many people dismiss the films that don't have crossover appeal as well. Shang-Chi was great and was set in its own little pocket of the universe (other than the Travory Slattery appearance and the post-credit scene). I feel that too many people complain that they want something different, and then when they get it, they complain that it wasn't connected enough to the other movies. Also, I love the Disney+ shows, I don't care what anyone else says. LOL

Who's your favorite Robin?
As a character, Dick Grayson is my favorite of all of them -- BUT, I prefer him as Nightwing and not Robin. For Robin, I like Tim Drake the best.

Most Important Romance in Marvel Comics?
Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. The fact that when they are apart, fans rage all the time says enough. However, for me, I actually enjoy it when Peter and Black Cat are dating, although MJ is the more important romantic interest.

Top 3 Horror Movies of the 2020s
That is disappointing. I was hoping the franchise would go out on a high note.

Are You Excited for Marvel Rivals Season 4? (And What Do You Want to See)
I don't play, but my son does (he is 16). He is excited about Angela and the fact that she is a tank who flies (if I remember what he said right). Of course, he also likes the fun goofy stuff, like how excited he was today to show me he finally got symbiote Jeff.

What DC Storylines Get More Hate Than They Deserve?
I liked Flashpoint. It was fun to see that alternate Earth timeline, and Thomas as Batman was great. I also think that the New 52 got more hate than it deserved. Readers acted like DC was ruining everything with the reboot, but I am old enough to remember Crisis on Infinite Earths, which did the exact same thing, and that turned out fine. Sure, some of the changes didn't work out as well as others, but I enjoyed it when it came out.

WWE SmackDown Hype, Reactions, and John Cena's SD Farewell (Sept 5th 2025)
I loved AJ Lee's return, although she took freaking forever before she jumped Becky. However, I really hope that was a hint that they are going to keep her as the character she always was, someone who just snapped and always seemed unhinged. I also loved John Cena vs. Sami Zayn, although I knew Brock Lesnar was going to ruin the ending. I am glad they got a lot of time for John to make Sami look good. I was surprised that the fans were booing Sami so much when he came out.

Most Annoying TV Show Cancellation That Ended on a Cliffhanger
Oh man, I thought The Shield had the absolutely perfect ending.

I still play Destiny 2 most weeks, convince me to play something else!
My son is big into Marvel Rivals now, which is good since the college he is looking at offers it as part of its esports program. Sadly, high school doesn't allow any esports games with guns, and Rivals has Punisher, Rocket, and Star-Lord (they tried to ban Splatoon since it involves a paint gun, but reversed the decision). He is now competing in Pokémon Unite in esports, since the Super Smash team was too competitive for him to make the team initially. For me, I've been mostly a sports game guy for years. Madden, College Football, Baseball, WWE 2K. I got WWE 2K and College Football for my birthday, so I've been playing those lately. My son does get me involved in LEGO games when they come out and we can play them together, so we are looking forward to the upcoming Batman game.

WWE SmackDown Rundown and Poll (August 29, 2025 Edition)
I'll play along in the future. As for Cena, I thought his heel turn was important since it was something people have been wanting for years. The fact that it didn't work out great doesn't hurt anything, though, because he is getting bigger pops now than before the heel turn. The "Cena Sucks" is gone, and people are singing his song now. That is huge.

Top 3 Horror Movies of the 2020s
I'd have to go with: Sinners Prey Nosferatu I still need to see Weapons. I also loved Bodies Bodies Bodies and The Menu. Evil Dead Rise was great too, but I have a bias for that franchise (I named my son Ashley. When people ask who he is named after, he proudly says Evil Dead)

Most Annoying TV Show Cancellation That Ended on a Cliffhanger
This hurts the most with sci-fi and fantasy shows, and it made me not even want to start new shows for a while, since I didn't want to commit to them and then not get any resolution for my time. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The OA, and Dark Matter are good examples. Netflix is really bad about this, too: The Midnight Club, Jupiter's Legacy, I Am Not Okay With This, and especially 1899. On a side note, I heard all the complaints over the years about Angel ending on a cliffhanger, but I thought that was the perfect ending for the show.
