Politician

I maintain that Jeff Jarrett is the worst major wrestler in the last 30 years.

You must be thrilled about him wanting to start his own promotion this year.

I totally agree though, he originally soured me on TNA, I've never been able to follow his career past 1995 and then his brief run with Owen in '99. He's all whistle and no work in that ring.

I thought they were supposed to show this warning message whenever Benoit shows up:
"The following program is presented in its original form. It may contain
some content that does not reflect WWE's corporate views and may not be
suitable for all viewers. WWE characters are fictitious and do not
reflect the personal lives of the actors portraying them. Viewer
discretion is advised."

Oh hey, thanks for that.

I think NJPW is the most solid promotion right now, also NJPW and ROH just agreed to exchange talent for a few months so I think we're going to get some really good cards out of it.

Holding off for now, but I feel like I'm on my way out of wrestling finally :/

Guarantee this weeks RAW will have had some of the hightest numbers in years. That huge (15 minute?) overrun had Punk written all over it too since "I, Robot" was on next and no one was losing sleep over that not being aired.

Also, I'm sorta out of the loop but are we really going to WM with a heel/heel title match with two guys who get booed out of the building everytime they come out? Especially a milestone for the company like WM30?

-Kinda disappointed that Batman is basically wearing Iron Man armor now, an undersuit with an exo-skeleton that straps itself on is getting ridiculous.

-I just don't buy Thomas Wayne knowing he's going to die and not see Bruce grow into a man. It's too precognitive, but whatever.

-Rocksteady says it's "The Finale" but that actually means WB Montreal will just have it and milk it from now on. I literally couldn't finish Origins because my save was constantly corrupted and they refuse to fix the bugs, instead opting for more DLC.

-We already have DLC, pre-order bonuses and costumes coming for the new game. You can't just buy a game these days, you can't just unlock anything anymore. I'm 25 and I feel like I'm 40, remembering the good old days of accomplishing something tough and being rewarded with more than "Achievements" and points to brag about online.

-I know they won't say it, but I'm hoping they finish out the Hush storyline, it's the only thing that's kept me going, also those great Riddler challenges. I need that 70's Neal Adams costume again too. #realcostume

Probably not them, but kinda interesting anyway.

Tobin's Spirit Guide better have a multi-page entry for Egon. :/

Not even worth continuing the debate if we can't agree what "opinion" means. Renders everything pointless, "let's be honest."

So you can't deabte ANY of the points I made, and try to get in a last word in the form of a lazy ass snide smiley. How about you tell me why what I said wasn't opinion instead of just making passing comments.

If you're going to drop it, then don't reply. Easy as that, but if you make little comments like that, it'll continue.

Key word: PURSUE.

I was a paid intern at a movie studio for 3 years. I read treatments and outlines for COUNTLESS superhero movies that never got made. X4, Spiderman 4, Venom, FF3, literally almost a hundred. Now granted, Marvel Studios will probably have a better track record but it's not a guarantee. They've pursued TONS of movies that never got made, there's a reasonable doubt to be had.

Also you're assuming that because they can do one spy movie right with a good cast and characters, that they can do another one with a possible different cast and characters which is just pure speculation and opinion on YOUR part. I never said the movie would be bad, I gave an opinion of what I thought it might end up being. You're basing one movie on the success of the other with nothing more than your opinion.

All of what you said is your opinion, all of what I've said is mine. The problem is you don't get debate. Opinion sparks debate, and debate sparks conversation. Now you should know, the first thing they teach you about debating is that nearly everything said is an opinion, and if you outright call out someones opinion and say "Why would it ever be this?" then you're inviting non-healthy debate. You can't outright refute opinion, which is what you tried to do. Even if what you said ends up being 100% true about the movie, you don't know that yet. I've seen movies change 10 times before they're brought to screen.

Next time, just don't try and outright refute an opinion, it's rude and takes away from the debate.

EDIT: Hey Dinobot, show me where I said "That's stupid" or did you infer that's what I meant? Because if you only infer what I meant, then you're taking my words out of context to help your own argument.

You said "let's be honest, it would be..." that as if everyone believes that and agrees with you. That's what i'm addressing. There's no justification for that "theory." But hey, thanks for ignoring all of the ACTUAL evidence we provided in the realm of a Marvel spy story to the contrary.

"Sorry if that deeply insults you," ha.

What I said was in the context of opinion. You managed to not understand that. Also I'd like to point out that you have no evidence and what you say is no more than speculation and "theory" as well. You have zero idea what's going to happen or like I pointed out, if the movie is even being made.

Let's be honest. If they did this movie it would co-star Hawkeye and maybe the Shield tv cast and would be very underwhelming. Basic cut and dry action movie with Yelena as the villain and a few cameos or references to other things.

Why would it ever be this? There's literally no evidence to support that, at all.

There's no evidence to support anything yet! So my theory is as good as any. That's why it could be that, sorry if that deeply upsets you.

We know NOTHING about the movie, or if it will even happen. And I know I'm about to hit a nerve with a few people here just saying that.

Let's be honest. If they did this movie it would co-star Hawkeye and maybe the Shield tv cast and would be very underwhelming. Basic cut and dry action movie with Yelena as the villain and a few cameos or references to other things.

There are so many other heroes I'd rather see get their own movie. A Mark Ruffalo Hulk movie with Rulk and Leader would be good start.

I won't get into the whole miscasting thing here, but I DO know that they acquired actors that accepted the lowest offer. This will be, by far, up there with the worst Marvel movies next to the other Fox masterpieces.

I honestly believe superhero movies are going to die off soon because of stuff like this. It's an inevitable pattern where a thing is being so over exposed that it has to crash. It sounds crazy now because we're at the peak, but it's going to crash and crash hard. I understand I'm saying things that won't happen for years but it's how trends in films work, eventually they become so low in quality that they die off (for the best).

Woah!

That's cool.

Living is San Diego now, I've never had to compete with so many people running to Toys R Us at 10am snatching everything on shelves to resell. It's a real bummer for actual collectors

I moved out of SD a few months ago but man it was always brutal tracking down TRU stuff. Lots of scalpers and crooked employees. I don't know where you are in SD, but the only place I've ever been able to get somewhat current stuff is in National City. Point Loma is a bust and waste of time.

I thought we'd gotten past the whole "Goblin without a glider" era. That's disappointing.

Let alone ANY parts of accessories.

The whole line up is pictured in the lower left:

Must be a flip phone to have that kind of resolution.

Ok, I'm pretty happy about this.

Spider-Sense Spider-Man: Honestly he's very much different than wave 13. New fig is a darker color, and has much larger 90's eyes which I personally love. I'll be the first to admit that I was disappointed he wasn't a MUCH needed variant of some kind.

Iron Man: He's basically a recolored Iron Man from TRU 14, which isn't bad but it really should have been that mail away 'mate from the dvd. Another thing, his color scheme in both Best Of waves are amazing, the bright, flat colors are extremely cool and makes this Iron man stand out much more.

Grey Hulk: Very cool and easily no criticism.

Iron Fist & Luke Cage: Finally.

Captain America: We just got this in TRU 16.

Hawkeye: Love him, even though we got him that in Disney set, it's hard to find and not everyone got one.

Ant Man: I feel like we just got him, but he's different enough that it's a nice addition.

Hopefully these are the prototypes, they really do look like it. I'm hoping there's a camera flash on the Spider-Man and that he's actually a darker color in hand.

On the positive side for once!...I am glad that graduation Peter has a slip-on mask, I LOVE slip-on masks so much.

There will be other new licenses at the show, for people who don't like these.

Saving the best for last, I hope.

How about Villians?

And maybe this means that Best of Wave 4 will be the all women wave!

Torch is really seeming like a lock at this point....

When wave 2 came out my guess was an all women wave, it'd be perfect because so many need the update.

Came here to post this, I'm tempted to buy one but it seems kinda sketchy. Rather maybe get help from a fellow board member if anyone is game.

How many did I get Zach?

Two. And one other is planned elsewhere.

Hmmm... 2 of these in 'Best Of 3' and 1 planned elsewhere?
My head hurts trying to guess.

Future Foundation Susan Storm
Superior Spiderman with the arms backpack
DOFP Wolverine
Now Cyclops
Classic Hawkeye
Beast
Iceman
Hydro Armor Iron Man
Bulked up Grey Hulk
Bulked up Apocalypse

Also... one of these is right:

Human Torch
War Machine
Cyclops
Magneto
Carnage
Ben Reilly~Scarlet
Hawkeye
Ultron

And one 2-pack is correct:

Blue/gold cyclops-Ghost Rider
Namor-Black Panther
Thanos-Sue Storm
Apocalypse-Gambit
Abomination/Hulk of some sort
Scarlet Spider/Hobgoblin
Luke Cage/Iron Fist (white outfit)
Beast/Iceman
Human Torch/Mole Man
Lizard/Black suit Spiderman
Professor X/Juggernaut
Antman/Wasp

But i'm guessing it's none of these from TM2:
Black Cat/Black Cat
Black Cat/Black Cat
Black Cat/Black Cat
Black Cat/Felicia Hardy

Hellpop and Josh were 0/8 on their guesses so that eliminates:

Cyclops

Namor

Black Panther

Thanos

Ghost Rider

Sue Storm

Apocalypse

Gambit

Vision

Wolverine

Silver Samurai.

And since I only got 1/8 AND I correctly guessed a two pack, it seems most likely it's Torch/Mole Man.

But if we compare our lists, we both have Hawkeye. Then it gets super confusing because we could be talking about alternate costumes like DoFP and NOW! then Wolverine, Cyclops and Sue Storm might still be in it.

I still really think it's going to be Human Torch and Mole Man. Fits the FF pattern but obviously Zach mentioned this wave is a bit different. The only logical packs left are Antman/Wasp and Spidey variant/Spidey villain to tie into the movies that will follow this wave.

hopefully we'll get some answers this sunday

also I seriously doubt we're going to get a lizard in this wave since theres one in the new Spidey set

Now that you mention it, you're probably right BUT we did get the Venom TTA set like a month before Venom in Best Of 2. That's Venom for you though, but I've got a good feeling about Black suit Spidey/Spidey Villain.
