Just a big list of some stuff I think is neat
I haven't been super active on here in a minute so I'm just gonna lighting round a bunch of stuff I've been watching/reading X-Men '97- Fucking incredible. This is probably my favorite piece of non comic superhero media since Spectacular Spider-Man. The animation, the melodrama, the narrative showcasing the struggles of building a better tomorrow and existing in a world where your existence is perceived as a threat. Can't wait for season 2 The Crow (1994)- Wanted to get to this before the remake comes out. This is very much a situation where I procrastinated on watching something I knew I'd like and when I finally got around to it I went "Yeah I was right I liked it a lot!" The Crow is equal parts mournful as it is hopeful for a better tomorrow, a balancing act between the grief of loss and celebration of life. A damn shame we lost Brandon Lee so young because he was enthralling the entire film, an irreplaceable talent. The Venture Bros- I was making my way through the series on my own for a good while now. Showing it to some irl friends gave me the excuse to rewatch it all before I see the final season because I LOVE Venture Bros. it has firmly cemented itself as one of my favorite shows ever. I can't even get into it here or this will just become a Venture Bros gush fest. X-Terminators (2022)- Literally just read this today, what a delightful little book. it's a bit weird dropping in here as the book's smack dab in the middle of the nearly finished Krakoa era of the X-Men books. Luckily this needs little to no context as it's 4 of most fun women in the X-Men cast cracking jokes and kicking Dazzler's shitty ex in the dick. Also said ex is a literal blood sucking vampire Shin Ultraman- The last of Hideaki Anno's Shin trilogy I needed to see. Ultraman is admittedly the one I'm least familiar with out of the tokusatsu big 3, but this film made me far more interested in it than I was before. a great action flick about keeping the flame of hope lit even in dire situations. I liked all of the Shin movies but here's how I'd rank them; 1. Shin Godzilla 2. Shin Ultraman 3. Shin Kamen Rider Steven Universe- Soooo, I was one of those kids that listened to shitty criticism of SU back when it was airing and it ruined my perception of the show for years. It took until recently to realize the critics I listened to were not only bad at media analysis (and just a bad person in general) but also outright lying about the contents of the show. to rectify this mistake I've been rewatching SU and man, I was so wrong about this show. It's exceptional stylistically and narratively, and teaches some genuinely well thought out life lessons to it's target age demographic. It's not garbage, it's great! RRR- Admittedly I watched this further back than anything else on this list but that doesn't matter because YOU NEED TO SEE RRR! This movie is 3 hours of distilling the power of friendship and anti-colonial sentiment into the most Dudes Rock movie ever put to film. by the end I was screaming my head off like a crazy person for 20 minutes straight. what are you even doing here reading this? GO WATCH RRR!

Team AEW is like, a pair of Workhorsemen away from being built specifically for me. Just replace FTR gun fighting like his court case depends on it with JD Drake calling Jack Perry a bitch and I’m completely in

I like Tatsuki Fujimoto a lot because he’s a really good character writer with an eye for purposeful shot framing and panel flow. Also because he has the same problem that I have which is we can’t draw shoes to save our fucking lives

Almost forgot to talk about it but I watch Action Wrestling’s DEAN~!!! today. The first half of the show is fine, with a Krule/Warhorse stinker in the middle. Gringo Loco and Dr. Cerebro and the surprise VIF tag were fun. The real meat is 3 matches that are all MOTY contenders
Slim J vs Adam Priest- one of the best guys on the indies takes on a recent AEW release with something to prove. J and Priest had a snappy, scrappy match where J does everything he can to keep up with his opponent. Priest responds in kind his surgical heelish precision, the spot where he necks J on the ropes was spot of the match for me. Apparently J was once one of the Georgia indie scene’s best back in the 2000’s, which makes me interested in checking out his catalogue.
Mad Dog Connolly vs Demus- this is the best dog collar match I’ve ever seen. Mad Dog has this unparalleled brawling style that is captivating to watch. Demus isn’t anything to sneeze at as he brings the fire of a hearty Lucha brawl and gave Mad Dog an equal thrashing. By the climax of the fight Mad Dog is caked in his own blood as he and Demus throw some of the nastiest punches I’ve ever seen in wrestling. This is THE match to watch this show for
Timothy Thatcher vs Daniel Makabe 5- The final match in one of the 2010’s most underrated feuds. This is a fantastic finale to the extremely technical battles Thatcher and Makabe had over the last 7 years. I’m genuinely bummed I discovered Makabe so late into his career because he’s become a low key favorite since last year. His final match is scheduled for the Scenic City Invitational and while I’m keen to watch that live, I’ve got a premature goodbye through the end of his greatest feud.
