It just occurred to me few days ago the level of ignorance majority of people are of the CBM universes. People watch the movies, know the characters but hardly their individual lore or the studio's history.
I'm talking about youths. People between 25-35.
Imagine person dey tell me say whether Thor fast during Superman comparison. Dude fvvking didn't know Thor has Superspeed and one of my bros saying Wonder Woman is the number one DC character and the first comic book character. The fvvk??

At least these ones know the different characters between Marvel and DC. But the in-universe knowledge or politics na F9.
Imagine being hopeful and co©ksure there will be a JL 2 & 3 of Zack Snyder's Justice League. See as 7 people dey follow me drag am, say that film can't just end like that. Part two must dey.
They don't know.

It's this weekend I knew and confirmed I'm a Nerd.

Welcome to my everyday life bruh
Mine isn't only with CBM's sef cos I'm also a wrestling nerd...I still dey follow people argue if wrestling is real or fake

I also prefer things like The Boys and Invincible

They make the superheroes feel more realistic...
Not those unrealistic ones abiding by unrealistic moral standards

Those Moral standards can still be there and it would still feel real like In MOS

let me put it this way, she lacks *in Vince McMahon's voice* ruthless aggression. She doesn't have that killer instinct. She's too nice, too relaxed. She doesn't feel strong enough. She has shocked me in the past with her in-ring skill. But if she focuses less on modelling and more on in-ring ability, maybe something will change.

I don't see it tho.
I think she looks like a Champion.
I don't know if she focuses on modelling but I know she is really good in the ring.

"Thor: Love and Thunder" dropped from 86% to 74% inside a day and projections still put it at dropping further.

Modified: 71% now

Ngl....MCU phase 4 have been dodgy so far.

We watch superhero films to feel good, not to entertain suicidal and homicidal thoughts, chief.

Marvel doesn't want you to wallow when you could simply laugh in the face of tragedy.

You're right sha, after all said and done we watch superhero Movies to feel good but I prefer something like The Batman or Invincible or The Boys to Ragnarok cos In their own way they make you feel good too.

Those are real life emotions to me but it all boils down to preference sha.
Like me I don't joke with feats a superhero movie might be really good but if you mess up their feats it falls short for me.

I just felt compelled to speak up in response to an unwarranted disparagement of one of my favorite MCU films.

Thor Ragnorok is a tragic film at its core. Loads of tragedy befell Thor, namely...

* His dad, Odin died and ascended to Valhalla
* Mjolnir was obliterated by Hela
* Many key Asgardians died
* His home, Asgard was destroyed.
* His brother, Loki died
* He lost an eye

Etc...

It's undeniably a depressing film, but the brilliance of the film is it sold you the tragedy with a smile.

One can also argue that it didn't take those tragedies seriously.
Another film would have really immersed you into all those tragic events and made you feel what the protagonist was feeling too.
Not everyone wants comedy at every turn, some people actually want to feel depths of emotions while seeing it on screen.
The way it was portrayed there would make all the tragedy just fly over your head.

Yep, the change in fighting style adjusts to the type of individual she was engaging. If they were bigger, she went for the soft spots or use the surroundings to her benefit. I liked that she did get hurt and was not like she was superhuman. Her character just pushed through the pain and exhaustion.

Part 2 is currently in development with Netflix.

As much as I know you hate indecisive finishes, I knew you wouldn't mind the end of that tag match. That match really needed an encore.

Can't say the same for that addendum after Bianca's defense. I really don't want another series of matches with Carmella. We had more than enough of those last year.

The women's MITB match was a mess, if we're being frank. I haven't seen work that horrible from the women's division in a while.

I don't even know why I was surprised that the Bobby/Theory match was that good. They're both talented workers. I should've expected it.

Did you catch that character tease? My mind instantly went to Bray Wyatt but folks on twitter are making a strong case that it's Edge. What do you think?

That tag match was instantly the match of the night tbh..the USOS never seem to have any bad matches, they are awesome.

And yea I caught the tease bruh, I initially thought it was Gable Stevenson cos of the medal but I also went to twitter and people were saying it's edge cos of the Jeff Hardy sleeves and Dudley glasses.
I also caught the Latino heat plates so I think we should just wait and see

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

One More Road to Cross...
Life after WrestleMania isn’t exactly fun for Becky Lynch. The master of the Big Time can’t get right and keeps coming up short in pursuit of what she believes is her championship. Becky believes Asuka is the author of her all pain. It was Asuka who made her rematch with Bianca Belair a triple threat match at Hell in a Cell. And it’s Asuka who is always lurking.
Asuka, for her part, seemingly made it her mission to make Becky’s life miserable. Asuka believes Becky whines way too much and is so far from the woman who bestowed her the Raw Women’s championship two years ago. If Becky is annoyed, Asuka is disgusted.
But it was Becky who called for a No Holds Barred match. And it was Becky who chose violence when she pulled a table from under the ring before the match even started. Those are touches I love because it’s showing and not telling. Yes, I know Becky hates this woman but illustrating it in a way that serves her character and the match is just good storytelling.
The table, it turns out, was just part of the equation. Asuka and Becky used trash cans, kendo sticks, and chairs as well. Asuka launched a trash can at Becky as her opening salvo! Why hip toss or lock up when you can take out the trash? The other two big moments of the match came courtesy of Asuka superplexing Becky onto a pile of chairs, and, of course, the ending.
In a call back to their match proceeding the Hell in a Cell match, the ending involved a parasol and green mist. Asuka found a parasol under the ring—seriously, who cleans that place?—and Becky snatched it from her. Asuka went for the green mist, which Becky blocked with the parasol. Both women get to the top turnbuckle, with a table positioned directly underneath them. After a bit of a struggle, Becky Manhandle Slams Asuka through the table, getting the W and exorcising her demon.
This was a great way to end the show and a good end to their story. At least for now. I’m not sure what’s next for Asuka. Maybe a change of scenery on Friday nights or a potential feud with Alexa Bliss, which WWE foreshadowed tonight. But Becky wants Bianca’s title. With Carmella, and possibly Rhea Ripley in front of her, we’ll see how David Bowie’s favorite marches forward.

The Rest
Rey and Dom Phone Home
Props to The Judgment Day. They started the match with a surprise attack, which makes all the sense in the world. They’re bad guys; be bad. Their sneak attack got Rey Mysterio and Dominik’s hometown crowd fully on board with the father and son issuing an ass whopping to Damian Priest and a Finn Balor dressed like a member of The Revolution.
This is a weird spot for Damian and Finn. This is their first true outing as a team and Judgment Day’s first test as a unit without Edge. But, clearly, they’re not beating Rey and Dom in their hometown.
WWE split the baby and gave us a DQ finish. Normally I'd complain about that but Rey used Eddie Guerrero’s chair trick, popped the crowd, got the W, while Damian and Finn keep their shoulders off the mat. We also got a vicious post match beatdown courtesy of Judgment Day to boot. So yeah, I’m pleased.

Phenomenal Balls
Miz, as a character, will never out-wrestle AJ Styles. Miz’s only play is outsmarting Styles. For a moment, a very brief moment, Miz found that moment. He used AJ’s momentum against him and threw his head into a middle turnbuckle. But AJ recovered after Miz got in a few licks, and got the W with a Phenomenal Forearm.
Short-lived victory though because the main thing to talk about here is Ciampa. Once again, NXT’s black heart roughed Styles up after the match, giving Miz a chance for the last laugh. After Miz executed a Skull Crushing Finale on Styles, he and Ciampa shook hands. Soo...they’re a thing now? Officially? I’m not sure what they’re doing with Ciampa on the main roster. I’m not even sure they know what they’re doing with him. But at least this is something and hopefully, with Miz, it leads to something more.
Hopefully. I know, I know, just let me dream.

Spotlight
Bianca Belair & Liv Morgan vs. Carmella & Nattie. Before I get to results and who did what to whom, let’s talk about how we got here in as few words as possible.
Liv hit the ring to celebrate her championship. Nattie interrupted and said Liv owes her because without the Sharpshooter injuring Ronda’s knee, Liv isn’t standing there as champ. Liv invited the smoke. Mella came down and said the spotlight is only big enough for her (weird insertion here) and told Liv to get out the ring. Liv, in short: “Make me.” Mella and Nattie double teamed, Bianca hit the ring for the save, and we got a tag match out of it.
Bianca played a supporting role here, as the spotlight truly belonged to the new champion. Bianca and Mella continued their violent dance, while Liv, after getting a very hot tag from Belair, fought her way to hitting an Oblivion on Nattie and getting her first W as champ.
Solid tag match that might give Liv her first contender while Bianca and Mella keep hating each other.

That’s Gonna Leave a Stain
I knew there was more. Ezekiel and Seth Rollins got it on over a ketchup stain. Actually, a very big ketchup stain. WWE did their annual 4th of July party and Zeke, unfortunately, sprayed ketchup all over Seth’s all-white outfit. Seth laughed like a lunatic after seething for a few tense moments. Seth challenged Zeke to a match—for revenge—and the two put on a pretty damn good bout. But Elias and Rollins always worked well together in the ring.
Seth found an opening and got the W after Zeke scared him several times during the match. But I knew there was more. Seth made his way back to the ring for more revenge, only for Riddle to appear out of nowhere with an RKO to the man forever known as Franklin Rollins.
Riddle and Seth at SummerSlam sounds like a really fun time with the right story in place.

The Hurler
Fans of Wayne’s World know all about “hurl” and what it means. Some of you may even know about the roller coaster named in honor of Wayne and Garth, “The Hurler.” Why am I bringing up random ‘90s trivia? Because the minute Angelo Dawkins and Otis competed in a hot dog eating contest, the hurl was inevitable. Otis ate 23 hot dogs while Dawkins downed 22. Neither man won since Tozawa ate about 40. Anyway, this was prior to both men competing in a six-man tag match. Lashley teamed with the Profits while Theory joined the Alpha Academy.
Shocker, this was a fun tag match between six good wrestlers. Eventually, the match broke down, as six-man tags often do, and Otis was isolated. Now, through the entire match, Otis held his stomach. So you can guess what happened after the big man suffered a spear from Lashley and a frog splash from Montez Ford.
Grant it, Otis survived the attacks and eventually, his partner took the pin after eating a massive Lashley spear. But after the match? Otis hurled. And it was disgusting. But props for following through on Chekov’s hot dog.
As an aside, the Profits are still rightly upset at how their Money in the Bank tag match ended, and Theory challenged Lashley to a United States championship rematch at SummerSlam.

Raw gave us some good stuff this week. We got some SummerSlam table setting, with quality matches. I can always do without the obvious time-filling video packages and the less said about that Gunther/R-Truth match the better. That said, if there is a big knock on the show, it’s that nothing truly major happened. This wasn’t a newsy show when it should be with SummerSlam still three weeks away. One of WWE’s weaknesses is sustaining momentum for stories over that period of time. As a result, they normally rush into the actual storytelling aspect one week away from a big show, which isn’t ideal.

Grade: B-

You guys are pretty intelligent in this group, so I know one day you will understand all I've been saying all along.

So you think someone that has sustained a childhood dream till now isn't following the current iteration of that dream?

I hated that film. I just couldn't get past the myth of a skinny girl outmatching men twice her size in hand and gun combat without breaking a sweat. To make matters worse, they messed up the film's technology.

Watch Atomic Blonde if you want to see a film about a female spy in cold war era done right. The fight scenes are breathtakingly realistic.

I called it overhyped cos I had many people say it was the best series ever...
I know it's their subjective opinion but I saw nothing in the series that puts it anywhere among the best...

If it had a great overarching plot or many well developed characters I'd understand...but it doesn't

But then you watched it and still haven't an 8...
The series you consider as "best" don't they get the same score?

Based on the only ones I've seen here this year are:

2. Severance (10/10)
3. The Boys (9.9/10)
4. Peacemaker (8.5/10)
5. Spy x family (dunno why it's on this list sef) (7/10)

I've not seen the rest but Stranger Things is on my watchlist...I hope the horror isn't too much

I've not seen Ms. Marvel but I'll add it

Etc

Peaky Blinders is overhyped to me yes cos it's carried by one character and has little overarching plot...
You should know by now that I love a plot that flows

I still rate Peaky Blinders 8/10 but not at the level of those that call it one of the best shows

Your score doesn't matter if you still say it's overhyped.
And isn't it ironic to be giving it a high score after calling it overhyped? Cos In a sense you're hyping it over too?.
