  1. Really enjoying GM but I'm struggling with budgeting and talent scouting. I honestly don't think I've ever in 2 seasons now been in a position to be able to afford to scout someone legendary and sign them.

  2. On the surface it seems like just a fresh coat of paint but there are so many quality of life changes it makes a huge difference. I've only done 3 exhibitions and 10 weeks of GM mode so far though.

    If you're wondering the matches were

    Action figure Cody Vs action figure Cena in an ambulance match Cena won

    Cactus, Mankind and Dude Love Vs Bray Wyatt, Funhouse Bray & The Fiend in a War Games the Foley Faces won

    and Cody Rhodes Vs Stardust in a Casket Match Stardust won

    Man, TMNT Mutant Mayhem was great. I’d been trying for years to get my son to watch the 90’s movies and the Nickelodeon series, but he never had any interest. All throughout the movie he kept saying “This is Intense!” “I can see why you like them so much!”

    Very Spiderverse feeling with it’s animation, loved the character designs (They look and sound like teenage boys and Donnie wears glasses), and all of the changes they made to the origins and lore I thought worked well with the story they told to make them really appeal better to today’s generation.

    It’s kind of sad to see man-children my age ripping it apart on social media because of these changes. My son was so enamored with this movie when the credits rolled, he asked if we could stop at the store and see what they had for toys. I ended up buying him a Donnie, Mikey and Raph/Rocksteady 2 pack at Walmart and he played with them until bed time. Totally converted him into a Turtles fan tonight.

    Took my son to see TMNT Mutant Mayhem today and i echo the sentiments here entirely it was really really good. Luckily he already had old TMNT toys though so no need to drain my bank account on them. But it's all he wants to play the rest of the day.

    I'm still stuck in that match btw. I can't figure the breaking a move thing out.

    Edit: I somehow did it by accident.

    For the future it's just rather than reversing it's guessing if they are going for weak or strong attack/grapple and pressing the corresponding button

  5. After a few hours a couple of Wargames some Cena Showcase and a season of GM my only 2 gripes come in GM mode.

    1. yes you can have triple threats and fatal fourways but you can't make them title matches.

    2. Still can't do any tag promos.

    Is setting up the tag teams in universe mode working? I was trying to set a bunch up a few months ago and the game would freeze after setting up two or three teams.

    2or3 is unlucky i can do 4 maybe but that's happened for a while.

    Universe question:

    I'm trying to set up my PWG Universe currently. I did two exhibition tournaments to crown champions, and I have Cesaro set as PWG World Champion and the team of Murphy & Cedric Alexander as my PWG Tag Team Champs.

    The issue I'm having is that I have created a team in the Roster Utility for Murphy & Alexander as the Blade Runners... but when I start a new universe and try to set them as champs, they're not even listed as an option. When I'm going through trying to edit the divisions, I'm getting them as options for the PWG World Title division, but not the Tag Team division.

    How do I fix that? Or am I just shit out of luck here?

    You create them as a team in universe in my universe not in the regular menus. Then you'll be all set.

    I know just like Game of Thrones, The Boys is way off the rails from the comics. But having not watched since the end of season 1 (I don't have time with all the other things I watch), how far into the comics timeline is the tv show?

    And if A-Train is still around

    I hope he dies in a similar manner to the comics

     

    Spoiler

    Still alive and just past herogasm in the TV timeline. I've only just watched season 2 and as much of season 3 myself. Though i own all the books.

    I look forward to seeing the episode of Assembled about that one.

    I hate that Disney+ doesn’t get the Spidermens, ‘cause I’d really like to see an Assembled on No Way Home.

    I doubt they'd do an Assembled on any of them but UK Disney+ just got Spider-Man Homecoming recently.

  10. I was having fun with this but since 1.08 it crashes and corrupts my save if i play GM mode. I've tried deleting everything and reinstalling all sorts but I've got no desire to create wrestlers anymore, play My Rise, Universe or GM because I'll lose everything. So I've only got My Faction to play as I don't lose that progress.

    Laura Barton is/was Agent 19, then?

    And I'm assuming since we didn't see him die, there's no way Kingpin is dead. Probably left for dead by Echo though. Big mistake.

    I'm wishing/hoping (i know no chance in hell) that the Echo D+series starts by showing us it was Maya shot in the prosthetic leg to incapacitate her by Bullseye to aide in Kingpins escape.

    I think the New Years Special (along with contestants like Richard Osman and Mel Giedroyc) was proof that the format doesn't need people defined as comedians to be on a full series to make it successful and entertaining. With that in mind, I don't think they could ever run out of potential contestants.

    I agree completely it doesn't necessarily need comedians but Mel Giedroyc Is/was a comedian.

    The budgets for these shows are are in line with what a normal MCU movie costs (obviously not Endgame levels, but yeah)

     

    Spoiler

    It's true the D+ show budgets seem to be on par with the movies however busting out the stretchy powers 2 or 3 times in an ensemble movie would serve it's purpose but only being able to do it three times in 10 episodes would be disappointing.

    Some leaked promo artwork of Ms. Marvel seemingly confirms something I was really worried about from reading some leaks/spoilers.

     

    Spoiler

    Perhaps she starts the TV show wanting to be a hero admiring Captain Marvel and using this bracelet/kree technology to go about it. Then by the finale is exposed to something that gives her the more comic accurate powers in time for The Marvels movie and saving on budget for the show.

    he believes he fought Captain America, but he actually fought a random soldier dressed as Cap for propaganda purposes. He thinks it was the real deal though

    Perhaps Isaiah Bradley isn't the only secret super soldier. Maybe we have another secret Captain America we don't know about yet.

    Finale:

      Reveal hidden contents

    This pretty much proved me wrong about what I think MCU series are doing; based on Wandavision and Falcon & Winter Soldier, I was going into this thinking that nothing substantial will really happen, because they're separate enough from the movies that anyone who just watches the films can get by without missing anything.
    The example I always use is that, before the start of Falcon & Winter Soldier, Falcon had been offered the shield, and by the end of the series he's accepted it, so anyone who missed the series isn't going to have actually missed anything. Broadly, the same goes for Wandavision - strip away the high concept idea, and you end up with "Vision is dead and Wanda is still out there somewhere", which is basically the same thing you went in with.

    This feels different, though. Kang is clearly going to be a Big Bad moving forward. I thought that Loki would basically be a bit of a primer in how multiverses and alternate timelines work, ahead of the next run of movies properly dealing with that. But it looks like it's been the catalyst for the whole thing.

     

    I'm still not as high on the series as everyone else seems to be - it feels like a particularly good Doctor Who serial; I could picture the whole thing as either a "Doctor returns to Gallifrey" episode, or the TVA as a series-long villain that he fights to expose. Even the pacing and character dynamics are very much along the same lines, and it felt like they had to throw in a Loki/Sylvie fight scene in the last episode just to remind you that, yes, you are watching a Marvel property. 

    The downside to that is that I still don't really see why this story needed to be Loki'sas I've been saying since the beginning. In the first episode, it seemed odd to have someone who's a living God and mastered magic and teleportation being so readily perplexed by the TVA, and in the last episode the bit that stood out to me was Sylvie objecting to Kang manipulating innocent people - which feels like a particularly hypocritical thing for any variant of Loki to kick up a fuss about, considering that's kind of his whole deal.

     

    Kang, if indeed Kang it is, was played brilliantly. The right side of bravura villain monologue and Whedon banter without feeling like it was undermining the character just to get some goofy Marvel-ness into the scene. The backstory was great, and still kept ambiguous how true it was. That Kang seemingly welcomed being killed by Sylvie makes me think that was his plan all along, and he knew that being killed there and then would change something significant - I don't think he was trying to prevent a multidimensional war so much as to start one he could win.

    The ending. Well. I suppose the question is whether Loki has ended up in a new timeline, or whether their actions significantly changed the current timeline. If so, what else has changed?
    Renslayer having left "to find free will" right after saying that the only person with free will is the person in charge makes me think that a more evil, controlling version of her is going to be running the "new" TVA as Kang's right hand woman. 

     

    Spoiler

    With time working different at the TVA guessing here existing outside of time it is that it's significant change. So a different version of Kang controls the TVA now the multiverse exists and is at war.

  17. Finale spoilers.

    Spoiler

    Well I guess we're about to see a whole lot more of Jonathan Majors in the next few phases not just Quantummania. Variants on Nathaniel Richards appearing all over the place also eventually setting up Iron Lad for Young Avengers.

    Black Widow is good, but it should have come out after Civil War’s release.

    It’s hard to feel like the movie has any stakes when you know for sure that Nat is surviving everything. 

     

    Spoiler

    I'm not sure that is a fair criticism there is no way anyone went into any of the MCU solo films thinking the title character would die.
