Fat lot of good they've been doing Marvel though.

I love Laura which is why I don't really want to read that.

EKSM3vS


It kills me that they took the only good thing they had done with that team and gave them all individual books that ALL tanked aside from Lauras.

Anyway given that Latour/Rodriguez run on SpiderGwen seems to be coming to an end after Gwenom I will be down to just Daredevil from those guys.

I cant wait for Soules contract with Marvel to expire so he can come back to DC and I can close the book on Marvel.

Out of curiosity and because of generally messy Google results, how many times have both Marvel and DC rebooted in the last 10ish years?

Twice for DC.

A lot of times for Marvel.


3 times ever they did large scale resets and the third was a marvel style SHIFT .

Marvel renumbers without ACTUALLY creating a lot of good jumping on points because of the way their continuity works. They put out a new Spiderman book meant to address the fact that slots run on the book really...didnt resemble Spiderman anymore.

They got an all star writer in Chip Zdarsky and promised to bring back the wise cracking street level heroics. Only the first 3 or 4 issuss of the run were dedicated to explaining how it could coexist with Slott thus robbing it of its more general appeal.

Marvel does this same thing over and over and over and has failed to deliver anything actually compelling on a large scale for a long long time and it has begun to cost them and they have no idea how to course correct.

I thought they figured thst shit out already.


As a general rule the further someone is from the point where they can be generically booked the more likely it is that their booking will regress to a place that is terrible for them.

For what its worth I think you are both right.

DoS is a decent story, but Funeral for a Friend, World Without a Superman (or Reign of the Supermen) and Return of Superman constitute what remains a pretty damn good run.

On the flipside, DoS did a lot of things that caused a lot of problems for comic books in the 90s that really did a lot to drive the hobby underground. Between the VARIANT HOLOGRAPHIC ONE OF A KIND collector editions, the mass hysteria of people trying to game the collectable comics market and the inevitable bust once people realized that their 50 issues of the issue where Superman dies werent going to hold any value were really awful problems from a financial standpoint and from a storytelling standpoint MAJOR CHARACTER DEATHS (that are very clearly temporary) have become a rather annoying mainstay from a narrative perspective that has only recently gone away to any major extent.

Protecting Balor is ostensibly more important

Although sometimes he gets squashed by Kane so ?


You can't protect what's already been destroyed.

Balor really is just some guy now. I think he is more likely to drop a match with Apollo than he is to beat Rollins clean so he is solidly midcard at this point.

Its hilarious that AGAIN, the one who looks like the biggest chump is Roman

Yo Im gonna win cuz I can beat Brock!
*loses*


I'm kinda hoping that all this buzz surrounding Roman and steroids might get them to rethink their main event, but I doubt it.

I mean, Rollins looked like a million bucks and part of me thinks a Rollins/Lesnar match that isn't Rollins getting ragdolled like all those years ago would be pretty fun.


Sadly though, they effectively told the story tonight of why Rollins loses Sunday

His prides desire to be the best on Raw in an essentially meaningless match cost him dearly

Pick your spots


I am still baffled at the booking though.

I think Elias beating him is fine but that he should have run through Balor and maybe Miz first before just visibly collapsing from exhaustion.

Kasich silently seems to have turned the corner on supporting more gun control this weekend


This is actually really important especially since with the high likelihood that the Trump Presidency implodes he would be the only Republican not hit by it.


I have yet to see Republicans actually want Kasich though. He was getting, what, 16% or so of 2016's primary votes when it was just a three-way against Trump and Cruz...? It wasn't impressive and I don't know how much Kasich's improved his profile among them. I'm sure being not-Trump matters, but I don't see where Kasich gets that boost over the likes of Cruz yet...and if there's another Trump-like candidate, I don't know that he really gets hurts enough for being like Trump for Kasich to keep it close.

I mean, hopefully Kasich can do well -- he was my favorite Republican from 2016 -- but also that's kind of his problem among Republicans.

Anything could change in a big way if the implosion truly happens, granted. I'm just cautious to say he gets that boost with the "I told you so" card.


^

The reasons we're like "wow this guy is much more qualified than Trump" are the same reasons he never, ever is going to get the nomination. Republicans had a choice of Trump or Kasich last year and Kasich got absolutely demolished.


Kasich did so from a position of no one knowing who the fuck he was until Trump had the nomination basically locked up

That seems backwards

If Roman is winning Sunday, HE starts on Raw and runs the table until Braun comes in at 7 and beats him


I dunno, if Roman is going on to beat Brock, he has to look strong and he just lost twice (though neither was a clean loss) to the Miz. If they have Braun come in at 7 and beat Roman, that's just going to make people scream for Braun to be winning the belt at Mania, and this is Romanmania 4 so we can't have that (though, I'd like to think they'd give the fans what they want this year, since Vince got what he wanted the last 3 years)


People are going to be screaming for Strowman to win it either way

I dunno, it seems pretty clear to me that it means These are the only rules we are taking out of the hands of the states; if you want to restrict any others you need an Amendment.

I'm no scholar, but I understand it to mean that Congress can make federal laws, and anything not under federal law defaults to the states. Your interpretation would imply that Congress is essentially not needed.


Seriously go read about the Nullification crisis - this was hotly debated at one time.

But to back sephg up a bit the 14th amendment was designed to end this debate.

Theres nothing wrong with Tanahashi (aka Brock) or even really Naito beyond the fact that no one really wants him right now but trying to force the issue is costing us an era of awesomeness we could be getting with Braun, Elias, Miz.
