Ellexy:Really? No vex abeg. |
Oldboss:It's good to dream big but in the real world dreams don't always come to pass. You sef know say na pipe dream for Barca to do a double this season. |
GloriousGbola:The caricature of caricatures ![]() |
toluxe0075:Yea, just like the first one with Chris...let's not discuss it further ![]() |
armadeo:Are you serious? His presence In the trailer and promotional posters was a dead giveaway for me...I don't know but maybe cos he is way too popular and in his prime to play second fiddle to the other cast members for me. |
WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Knowing this was taped last week, I went into this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown with low expectations. After all, there’s only so much you can ask of WWE when they’re trying to give talent the holidays off and have to do a double taping to make that happen. I was pleasantly surprised at what they managed to give us despite this. They opened with a promo from The Bloodline, which featured the usual Paul Heyman promotional talk followed by Roman Reigns paving the road for Sami Zayn to get on the mic and spit nothing but hot fire. This might be one of my favorite promos from Zayn since he’s been in WWE, a passionate defense of his place in The Bloodline but even more than that an emotional message about his place overall. He’s finally found a home with this crew, who genuinely seem to care about him. We know that as a story for many troubled folks — wandering aimlessly until they’re taken in by a bad crowd that looks appealing if only because it offers that sense of family. That’s what Kevin Owens is arguing, essentially, and Zayn finds himself so hopelessly attached at this point that he’s entirely turned on the one person who had his back even when no one else did. They had their issues, of course, but what brothers don’t? Zayn is so far gone, in fact, he’s disgusted at the mere fact that their names are still intertwined. The only way to change that is to do what he’s doing now, which is blindly following Reigns’ lead, and doing his bidding, even if it means going up against not just Owens but the returning John Cena. It’s all part of the vicious cycle of it all — compromised individual looking for camaraderie finds it with group willing to take advantage of them. On and on it goes. We’ll see just how it goes next week. All the rest -Hit Row became top contenders to the tag team titles last week with a win in a triple threat match that was notable for Top Dolla’s leg giving out on a dive. That’s what dominated headlines after, as opposed to their newfound status as top contenders. Well, they were soundly beaten by The Usos this week, as Jimmy & Jey targeted Dolla’s bad leg and had no issue taking them out. It felt very much like a nothing match. Tough scenes for Hit Row. -They used a Gauntlet match to find the next top contender to Ronda Rousey’s SmackDown women’s championship. Really, this was a way to get to booking a title match for the Dec. 30 show that they want to make as big as possible. There’s a real problem with storytelling in the SmackDown women’s division, and matches like this showcase that but maybe they deserve a pass because they just wanted to make next week’s show bigger? I don’t know, but it seems odd to rush into Rodriguez’s title shot after protecting her as much as they have for as long as they have. Then again, she’s also been positioned as the overcoming underdog with the arm injury she battled through to win this match. Surely it will play a part in next week’s finish. -Bray Wyatt is clearly not Uncle Howdy, he says. He wanted an apology from LA Knight but before he could really get into anything he lost his train of thought and randomly assaulted a cameraman. It appears to be a new favorite thing in WWE to have a wrestler lose control and Adam Pearce and a bunch of other WWE officials rush the ring to put a stop to it. I guess this is simply Wyatt losing himself more and more as time goes on. -Angel Garza got back on WWE television on this show, working a singles match with Rey Mysterio. Of course, he was there to do the job but as a fan of Garza’s I feel the need to say WWE should give him more to do! Meanwhile, Karrion Kross & Scarlet stood in the crowd with a spotlight on them the entire match, watching everything play out. Kross is a big burly son of a gun, but he’s no dummy. That man was out there scouting his opponent. What he saw was Mysterio win with the 619 into a springboard DDT (that looked and sounded brutal). Fun match! -A pissed off Emma slapped the trash out of Scarlett! “You have no idea what you’ve just done,” Kross responded. This short backstage interaction was enough to get me hyped for a match between these two. The latest Lacey Evans vignette told us she will be commencing her mission to destroy everyone in WWE next week. Oh boy. -The Miracle on 34th Street Fight, now a staple of the holiday in WWE, was its usual silly fun. This one included a random ballerina in a box followed by The New Day in a box dressed as nutcrackers low blowing Imperium while wearing the NXT tag team titles. They saluted Braun Strowman on his way to running a train all around the ring. They also had Strowman hold mistletoe over Ricochet’s head so the ring announcer, his real life girlfriend Samantha Irvin, could give him a kiss to bring him back to life. The babyface team ended up winning in the end, because that’s always how these matches go. It was all in good fun. This was a surprisingly good show! Grade: B+ |
Why haven't I seen this episode of family guy before ![]() https://youtube.com/shorts/ESrZqpahfC4?feature=share |
Baddestguyp:Did you say porrnstar? What movie is this so I won't mistakenly download it. |
abduleez1:His power made him immune to the darkness so he shared it to the available heroes so they can fight without being compromised. |
abduleez1:Lol, this is my first time hearing about Peacewrecker ![]() I'm not that great on Peacemaker comic book lore |
andrewbaba44:No, so that we'll win another El classico |
abduleez1:Wtf...that Batman's score was too goated to be ignored FFS ![]() |
abduleez1:Na just friendly banter... |
Baddestguyp:Lol...even if he wasn't existing Gotham would still be a cesspool, you're saying what you're saying cos Batman doesn't kill his villains once and for all. Don't start twisting it, you'll fvck up your own narrative. |
abduleez1:No wahala na, let's see how it goes... hopefully it'll happen soon |
Baddestguyp:I don't have strength to type long epistles right now but your Reddit post basically says that Batman made Gotham more dangerous cos of his methods, Asin if he was putting down every supervillain he attracted Gotham would have been safer...right? Yes. The no kill rule is why you keep saying "rinse and repeat" And that what my previous post answered. |
abduleez1:Do you have the pic? I'm finding it hard to picture anyone else as Black Adam after these 15yrs man. |
The way Better call Saul morphed into a drug cartel series should be studied in art schools. |
Moneyboyz:Small small we go dey chug along dey reduce am ![]() insha'Allah |
Baddestguyp:You're the one that doesn't understand what you're going for...the no kill rule is what your whole arguement is based on and why you think you can troll Batsy |
Baddestguyp:Batman wey be the reason why DC as a whole still dey exist ![]() Them dey build statues for am ![]() |
Baddestguyp:Batman is not judge, jury, and executioner. His entire purpose is to heal Gotham and make it a city where a child doesn’t have to lose their parents to senseless violence. That means more than just killing criminals. He has to get rid of the corruption in the police and courts. He has to eliminate the ability for criminals to threaten the good judges. He has to build cases against criminals that were above the law from getting away with everything. Imagine a world where Batman just kills everyone. The police and gangs will be after him. The public will fear being in public even more since they have no way to know how indiscriminate Batman is about whom he kills. And that means they won’t have hope that justice will be served or that things will get better. When he takes out the heads of criminal organizations, other more ruthless people will rise up and go after Batman. Gotham would become a warzone. No, by simply apprehending criminals and collecting evidence, Batman barely rises above concerned citizen. He allows the system to do its job. Officers stop being complacent because of the system, and the criminals get punished by the legal system. The public then feels safer. Batman is a myth, so the people see the police taking down and incarcerating the criminal element. They start to trust the legal system to be fair. And when Batman eventually disappears, the system will keep running just as it always has. Batman only helps with major crimes and supervillains. Gotham PD is still out their keeping the peace and chipping away at the bigger criminals. The problem is that it’s all a comic book. Because more stories need to be told, criminals can’t be killed. As some know, Batman killed Joker in their first issue together. Coupled with this is comic book time. Because about ten real years equates to one year in the comic while the world continues to evolve in time with the real world, it feels like villains are escaping all the time. In reality, any one of them might only appear in a story ever few years. But they have been the same age for decades, so it comes across as only a few months in-universe. It’s just a suspension of disbelief necessary for a never-ending story. If Batman were real, he probably would have killed Joker by now. Heck, the courts would have ruled he was competent and put him on death row. But the comics universe can’t do that. |
Kaycee7:Thank God he knows he is just trolling sha cos the points are not even strong ![]() |
Baddestguyp:Just dey play, dey plaaayyy |
blingxx:Gotham |
Baddestguyp:It's even worse if the protagonist's are more than the villains...who do they fight then?? What's their purpose? Or are we just here to stand around and talk and have flashbacks? |
abduleez1:Who go fit play black Adam now? |
Baddestguyp:it's better than introducing thousands of villains and millions of arcs for only one group of protagonists. |
Oldboss:With a team In what? |
Baddestguyp:No be anime be this where gallon of blood go dey pour but protagonist go still dey get power ups |
