These are the quarters, it's listed episode 6 of 11, but that doesn't make sense either because it doesn't leave room for a Final:
6 - QF1
7 - QF2
8 - QF 3
9 - QF 4
10 - SF 1
11 - SF 2
I have to assume there's only going to be 3 quarter finals, and 1 semi-finalist will be (another) fastest loser. Or they'll do what they did here and just hand a new person a place without competing, which is weird. I'll give Wesley a pass, because wrestling.

I am somehow interested in seeing how EA manage to mirco-transaction-ise the Transfer Portal.

The crazy thing is that every bad movie that Sony make isn't really damaging them, it's damaging Marvel. Not only are these characters basically unusable again for a long time, but your average movie-goer is going to see the Marvel title-card and assume these movies are part of the MCU, or at least made by Marvel Studios.
The Spider-Verse films probably avoid that issue because being animated makes a clear enough distinction.
And I get the feeling that Dakota Johnson, daughter of Hollywood royalty that she is, can pretty much phone in any performance or press tour and it won't affect the chances of her getting hired again.

Madame Web is being critically panned more than any Marvel-related project since Howard the Duck, with the YouTube channels I follow actively suggesting not to go to the cinema to watch it so as not to encourage Sony to make any more MCU-adjacent films. The major notes, which again are not from me but from reviewers:
- Dakota Johnson is terrible, not in a "bad script that she is trying her best with", but a "bad script that she is not trying to help with a consistent monotone delivery".
- The trailers that showed various spider-people suited up is a straight up bait-and-switch, the time they spend as their hero monikers in the movie itself is less than a minute. This, despite Sony being roasted for doing the exact same thing with Vulture's appearance in Morbius.
- The ADR work is so bad that often the audio doesn't match the words on screen.
- Everything looks cheap, the CGI is bad, and the editing seems to have been done to extend the movie length.
- There's no mid or post credits scene, which is not a bad thing in itself, but just goes to further emphasise how nobody at Sony cares about their own universe.
Please Sony just give it up.

I've just started a watch through of the original, but I'm not sure I'll be done by the time it comes out, Wasn't expecting it this soon to be honest!

Winning the fights off the court as well!

I love that Hardman was looking around in the end zone, seemingly in disbelief that he had just caught a Super Bowl winning touchdown.

The ball was barely over the line before they cut to Taylor.
I am happy for Andy Reid at least.

He said he would roller skate, and he is roller skating.
I'm enjoying the performance.
Maybe a tad underwhelming, but damn can Usher dance.

What the fuck is Kelce doing that to Andy Reid for?

Deadpool 3 has been renamed to Deadpool & Wolverine.
And I may be looking forward to this more than any film I can remember, except Endgame.

There is nobody in the world whose voice does not match their appearance more than Post Malone.
Oh look, it's the blonde lady.

You basically need a perfect org to manage a guy like this and teach him how to be a leader. The teams at the top of the draft have never felt like the organizations that can do that, with the exception of New England.
I fail to see how the Washington franchise has not proven itself to be the gold standard of leadership credentials.

I did wonder if she was shaking the net, but put it down to her just aggressively climbing it. Then Guy Mowbray mentioned it, which they wouldn't have aired if there wasn't some truth to it.
She also spent most of The Ring crawling on the ground to get to the centre part after getting tackled, whilst Tuathlaith was out-running her Gladiator to get there on her feet. That's more of an issue with the rules of the game, but even so.
Almost forgot, this should hopefully be the example needed for them to get rid of the trapeze and get something that doesn't look so ridiculous. A literal platform to jump on and jump off would be better (if they're not going to bring back the rolling log).

TIL there's an NPC in Hitman 2/WOA who uses his location in Miami to imitate one of Miami's most famous crime scene investigators.

Can't say I was a fan of Betti going through after her pathetic display in Duel
Huge respect for to Paul for competing, and not doing badly at all, at 57.

The Pistons couldn't find a trade partner for Killian Hayes.
So they just released him.

I don't like this trade deadline so far.
As far as I'm concerned it's the worst in history.
NOT ROBIN.
What's annoying is that Thanasis Antetokounmpo is still employed by the Bucks, but they get rid of another player's brother (and even paid the Kings to take him).

Aside from the Hornets blowing up their roster, today feels like a stream of players being traded for the other players at their exact same level.

Hmm, the wording just says "Silverstone". This could mean that they're racing at a newly built street circuit around the A43.

The Gladiators Thread
in Movies & TV
Posted
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but a lot of things rubbed me the wrong way here:
- Bionic was terrible during Duel. It was like a game of Karate Fighters where only one side was being used.
- Viper's "failed" takedown on The Wall looked incredibly like a deliberate act to miss.
- I hadn't noticed how easy the new Wall is, especially as there is a set path now and barely any hand/foot grips in the middle.
- The Edge needs a massive overhaul, if you have to instigate a points limit then maybe you're giving out too many points to begin with.
- The female Gladiators dropping their pads during Gauntlet and tackling instead was just insane, made worse by the bizarre stance afterwards that they were "unbreakable" having just mentally broken moments before.
- Apparently there's a rule that says you can just decide not to do an event if you don't want to, which is new to me. Amazing how you can close an 11 second gap in the Eliminator when you have the extra energy from not doing the previous event.
On the plus side...
THEY FIXED IT!!
