My bad y’all. Skip my first really short one because it’s a repeat with most of it erased.
Henry Is coming back as Superman. That is exciting news. None of the shortcomings of Superman in the DCEU are not his fault
This is just my opinion, but I think Cheetah with the blonde hair needs contrast. They could’ve given her darker hair because I think the blonde clashes with the rest of the cheetah body, but I’m not doing that digital work and I don’t know what they had to deal with lighting wise.
Oh and I may get that series S if Microsoft can lure me with exclusives that aren’t shooters.
Thanks for reading
Henry Is coming back as Superman. That is exciting news. None of the shortcomings of Superman in the DCEU are not his fault nor is it Ben Affleck’s fault with the shortcomings of Batman. They could’ve had it all. They casted Ezra as Barry when he should’ve been Wally. They cast an old ass Batman that should’ve had a Bat-family while giving us a classic suit and fooling us into thinking they had a plan when there was none. This pointless Snyder cut is coming out that may likely lead to nothing or something that makes no sense.

I’ve fallen behind on the new X books. I haven’t gone to pick up a stack since March. Are you caught up? I like to read Marvel physical if I can because when you get physical you also get a digital for that book so I can donate my physical copies to the neighborhood library.
I preordered it with the disc drive. There are just certain movies I gotta watch on 4K blu-ray.
Now I’m only speaking from the point of view of someone who only did trade in credit and not cash. I no longer buy physical games. I got completely on the digital bandwagon this past December. It’s convenient as hell, but your gaming accessories aren’t digital though so I need a place like GameStop in my life. Toys R Us is gone, and I don’t want to go into a big ass wal-mart, target, or Best Buy. You may say order it online, but I want my accessories right now and I need an extra controller because I got nephews coming over and I forgot I only have one working controller or I need a PSN card and I don’t want to put my card info on Sony’s server.
Growing up I did a lot of trade ins at GameStop. I’m talking about games I played the breaks off of and got bored with. Game stop takes the hassle out of it. You might say “sell it on eBay†and I’ll say I don’t want to pay the eBay percentage or deal with shipping. You lose money in that process too. You aren’t going to make a profit or sell the game for what you bought it for because eBay is mostly about finding deals or paying what you’re willing for things you can’t find near you. I’ve also sold things on eBay, but big ticket items. Some might say “I’ll sell it on Craigslist. I don’t feel like like making a post or meeting up with a stranger and I for sure don’t want them coming to my house. I’ve sold things on Craigslist when I needed cash for none gaming related stuff.
My point is if you’re looking for trade in credit then that means you were planning to buy the new game anyway so you’re getting something towards it. You ever done a car trade in? Depending on what kind of car you have or the issues it has then doing an independent sell is a bigger hassle than just doing a trade in if you’re in the market for a new vehicle.
Hi y’all, Felix here. Hope all is well, and for those inclined be sure to tune in to boruto this weekend, you might just see a familiar name in the credits. It’s the big fight episode of the arc so I hope viewers enjoy. We put a lot of work into it.
Before I go into other stuff, just a quick note on that Noelle Stevenson story. Im not that familiar with the current western animation industry (ive only worked in the anime industry) but a lot of what made that go viral was some black animation professionals airing out greivances about the industry and their treatment more than Noelle specifically. Thats most of what I saw when that went down since I follow a lot of black animation folks. In any case In my opinion while the joke was iffy, Its kinda a waste of energy to launch crusades based on something that isn’t in the show. It’s an inside joke in the writers room (that to be fair didn’t have any black people in) they probably should have left there.
Moving swiftly on though, I don’t know if you guys did but I watched as much DC Fandome content as I possibly could in that 24 hours. Avoiding the Snyder cult stuff, there was a lot of good stuff to watch. The black lightning panel made me smile so much, the cast are so great and Robert Townsend moderating the panel was fun and heartwarming. They really gave him his flowers during that panel, so much love. The legion of Superheroes panel was everything I hoped for. Half the cast even had legion flight rings and I waved mine at the screen when they did the salute like a big nerd. Also fun to have the staff confirm they did indeed make brainiac 5 have a crush on superman on that show. Definitely a thing kid me noticed when I watched it.
Other than that, I think DC Fandome is really the model for these online events moving forward. You could tell a lot of work and love went into it and I enjoyed the content.
I haven’t watched a lot of shows but I’ve been keeping up with The Boys and Lovecraft country. The boys is looking mad spicy this season haha. And for anime, obviously keeping up with boruto, rezero season 2 has been a ride.
For comics, good news on my side of the pond, my comic shop came back and is in business again. Gonna be catching up when my first mail order if back issues arrives. So behind on far sector and bitter root. Also shout-out to marvel making almost every black panther single issue free to win on comixology and Amazon in honour of Chadwick. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of folks, kids and adults, in higher spirits with something fun to distract them from everything going on right now. I for one will finally finish the priest run, it’s been real hard because it’s so 90s but I will persevere lol.
Lastly, I saw the PlayStation 5 price announcememt stream and bruuuuuuuvvvvv!!! That damn miles Morales Spiderman gameplay!!!!! I don’t even care about the other stuff that looked good, they even had ganke in there!!! Ever since MCU Spidey jacked miles and gankes dynamic for Peter and Ned I’ve been Hella salty but I’m so happy he’s in here. Wanna see my boys goof off too. I am beyond hyped. I might even get this console 2 years after its out and launch games are cheap rather than wait until the PlayStation 6 to enjoy these haha. Ok, looking forward to the episode, Felix out.
Oh almost forgot, I started reading the avatar kyoshi novels after last episode and man those novels are wild. They are so damn good, highly recommend if you want some new avatar content. Kyoshi is mad spicy in comparison to korra and aang. Didn’t expect to get into them so hard but I’m already on the 2nd book. Really cool stuff.
Marvel heard y’all joking on Darkseid being a Que last week and decided we needed a KANG! Time Travelling Umar Johnson is about to be disgusted with these white men fucking with the space time continuum. But shout out to Jonathan Majors between this, Lovecraft Country and Da 5 Bloods my dude is putting up numbers this year.
