    Netflix hires David Ellison's Investment Bank to close the deal in a bid to buy WB

    That would be wild if it actually happens. Netflix owning WB feels like a total paradigm shift, it’d be like the biggest “content consolidation” move yet… though I’m not sure if that’s exciting or terrifying 😅

    Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics

    Yeah makes sense! I like that you're balancing both sides, I have to imagine there would be some benefits to training both sides of your brain at once, curious to how that affects anything creative you're working on

    King of Hell (by Ra In-Soo and Kim Jae-Hwan)

    Yeah, that’s pretty much how I remember it too. Started with this wild energy and humor, then got buried under too many characters and dragged-out arcs. Shame, because Majeh had one of the best personalities in early 2000s manhwa

    DnD and Magic

    That’s awesome, it’s never too late to jump in! MTG and D&D can both seem intimidating at first, but once you get the basics down, they’re a blast. If you’re leaning toward D&D, I’d say start with a one-shot or watch a short play session to get the feel for it. What are you more curious about...

    It's Probably Time I Posted An Introduction

    I think both things are true. A lot of this madness has always existed, but the internet didn’t just reveal it, it amplified it. Stuff that would’ve stayed local now goes global in 30 seconds, and people are really performative now for the views instead of living their lives quietly. It’s not...

    A note on how we want discussions to feel here

    Yeah exactly, tone matters just as much as the take. People don’t have to agree, but if we say things in a way that matches the intent instead of escalating it then conversation can actually go somewhere instead of dying in drama

    Halo: Campaign Evolved is the Perfect Example of 'Soul vs. Soulless'

    Exactly, if they believe in the modernized style they'd make a new title and let it stand on its own. But instead they're mining the same classic over and over while sanding off the identity that made it classic is just slow IP cannibalism. At some point they’re not preserving Halo, they’re just...

    One Punch Man

    Exactly, it works because it isn’t just clowning on hero tropes, it actually respects them. Everyone else is living a classic shōnen arc while Saitama is already at the finish line, and that gap is the whole point. And yeah, Murata’s art is what turns the concept from “clever idea” into...

    Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics

    That’s a serious subject load! If hanging out here helps you stay consistent, that makes sense. Just start dropping whatever you’re working on and we’ll weigh in where we can

    Place Your Bets - Hasbro Thinks A 2026 MTG Universes Beyond Set Can "Rival Or Beat" 'Final Fantasy'

    I think Marvel has the biggest shot just based on how huge the brand is, but I still don’t think it actually gets anywhere close to FF because longtime MTG players are already burnt out on crossover stuff. The weak Spider-Man sales kind of proved that brand hype doesn’t guarantee player...

    Anyone else checking out Ichi the Witch? 👀

    Yeah normally I’d think the same, wizard = male / witch = female, but in this series “witch” is the title for anyone with that power. That’s why him being the first male one is treated like a huge anomaly in-world. If you give it a shot later I’m curious what you think!

    Should HBO's A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms have been a feature film instead?

    Yeah that’s pretty much where I land too, the format could work if they lean into what makes Dunk & Egg different instead of trying to force it into the same “epic stakes” mold. Short episodes aren’t the problem by default, lazy use of them would be. But if we get three seasons of 30-min slices...

    Do you play chess?

    Fair enough, once you go competitive I'm sure it eats your whole schedule. Out of curiosity, what rating did you get up to before you quit?

    Naruto

    Really solid breakdown. I think the thing you hit that people don’t talk about enough is how the missed development of the Konoha 11 is what makes the emotional peaks feel both huge and lopsided. Naruto/Sasuke get mythic-level arcs while everyone else gets frozen in time. It’s not that the side...

    Is anyone playing Pokémon Legends ZA?

    I passed on ZA too, but not because of one single thing, more like death by accumulation. Between price hikes, small rosters, and the feeling that they’re coasting on the brand, it definitely stopped feeling like a must-buy series for me.

    Uh, not used to forums so let's go

    Hey welcome! Always happy to get more recommendations, so sounds good to me 😁

    If you could merge two heroes into one character, who would you pick?

    I’d pick Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. You’d get the agility and instincts of Spider-Man with some magical tools from Strange. Could make for some interesting situations without feeling over the top.

    Glad to have you here! Touring audio for that long is awesome, I’m sure you’ve seen some things. Would love to hear a few stories while you’re around the site

    Donald Trump could have the final say on who gets Warner Bros. Discovery after all

    Whoever ends up in office is going to have a say in these kinds of deals, that part isn’t super surprising. I don’t really buy the idea that Netflix = doom or Skydance = salvation though. Every big studio has been hit or miss lately. It’ll come down to whoever actually steers the company well...
