    General Marvel Legends

    I've got a beef with orange juice, to be honest. I love it on its own, but it's hard to find a smoothie around here that isn't laced with some sort of orange or apple juice and it pisses me off. If I want a strawberry banana smoothie, don't be puttin' no acidic juices in there that are gonna...

    I'll have to check that one out. If Celtic Woman did a cover, he may like it- he's a big fan of Loreena McKennitt. I definitely gotta show him the old Rankin Bass specials- those never lose their charm.

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Only one I know of is by the Oak Park Mall. Only pop in every so often when I'm there, and the last few times have been duds.

    Good choices! I've been trying to get him to watch An American Tail for ages (gotta show him more Don Bluth in general- he's never seen Land Before Time). Eight Crazy Nights is a good suggestion- I could see him going either way on it. He wouldn't be offended, but I don't know if he'd be...

    Totally fair, TSI. Ironically, one of my favorite holiday watches ever since it started airing this time of year is the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Think they started playing it on/around Christmas on ABC Family/Freeform/whatever a while ago, and it's become a staple- helps me feel warm in...

    Mattel DC Figures

    I can't say for sure who started it, but at this point it's been done by many different companies, and I think even in a few comics. I'm pretty sure the idea of "Joker as Batman" has been around for a bit- I remember even in The Batman cartoon from 2004, Joker wore a Batsuit, so this might just...

    Mattel DC Figures

    Yeah, I'm very mixed on Mattel. Most of what I collect from them anymore is Hammond Collection, which certainly has its fair share of flaws, but does seem to mostly be good now that they've worked out the kinks. A lot of their other offerings, like the Pixar stuff I'll cherry-pick, feels lower...

    Generative AI

    Definitely a double-edged sword. I'd want to think that I'd keep the job, because at least then, in theory, I could at least attempt to provide both sides of the argument. I'd have to let the kids hear the AI explanation, but I could also be there to present the other side of the argument or...

    Last Game You Played

    Finally picked up Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora now that they added the 3rd person mode, and I'm liking it well enough so far. I'm a sucker for some deep lore and a fully realized world, so being able to learn even more about the world and how it works is fun. It's far from perfect- a little...

    Mattel DC Figures

    I'm a bit curious on the source as well. Don't get me wrong- those all seem like pretty safe bets, but still. Seeing the lineup does make me sigh, however. No way to know for sure, of course, but it feels like it may be a while before we break through the big names to get to some of the more...

    Still haven't jumped on board the K-Pop Demon Hunters train, but something tells me that's about to change. I'm flying home for the holidays in a few days, and my nibling is a big fan of it. I don't think I'll be allowed to sleep under the same roof if I haven't seen it. A question for ya'll-...

    I wonder if Wake Up Dead Man is similar to Midnight Mass in that it may resonate a bit more with folks who were raised religious- whether they remained so or not. I'm certainly the latter, though have had some difficulty reconciling certain things, and while nowhere near as serious or overt as...

    Star Wars Black Series

    I feel like the trade-off is usually pretty good. One stream, TVC will get the better reveals, then Black Series. Each series has characters that the other one doesn't. i really hope we see Poggle the Lesser in Black Series soon; Geonosians have been high on my list for a while, and that clicky...

    General Marvel Legends

    Cassie is one BAF I never picked up, and honestly keep forgetting exists. I'd love to say I'll just wait for the inevitable regular-sized version, but I'm not sure if anything is inevitable anymore (aside from Thanos himself). Just don't know if I like the character enough for her to take up...

    Yeah, I would think that you'd be at least somewhat aware of being in a movie. I can kiiinda understand maybe some of the bigger Avengers movies, since those change so much between script and screen, so maybe you thought you were filming for part 1, but it ends up in part 2, etc., but it seems...

    2025-2026 Rumor/Leak List - UPDATED List 12-14-25 (after Fanstream)

    I wouldn't mind something similar to the draft- at least a quick little reflection on the year, maybe listing some favorites. I like getting to know the team a little more- I think that's part of why the Marvel team feels a bit more warm and welcoming than the Star Wars team, to be honest- those...

    Or, since Gwenyth seems to constantly forget she's in these movies, have RDJ in a wig playing Pepper, and have no one mention it. Have him play the ghost of Aunt May too. It feels in line to have Peter hallucinating some weird hybrid of Tony and May.

    PLAYMATES Mutant Mayhem/Tales of the TMNT/etc.

    Don't know how it managed to completely sneak by me like that. I don't think I'd even seen a trailer for it. I enjoyed the first season; hopefully this one'll hold up too. Shame we probably won't see any more after this.

    To be fair, Hollywood has actors in their late 20's-early 30's play teenagers all the time, so I'd say they're right on track. 🤪

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    For the first time in a long time, my Target had something besides a ton of Metamorphos and Eradicators. One Darkstar, 2 Max Shrecks, and a Peacemaker. I'd totally forgotten all about Peacemaker, honestly, but I went ahead and snagged him. A fun figure!

    I think it would also benefit them to, if they're introducing a new team, to just start with the team assembled. As fun as it can be to meet each of them individually and get to know them, we don't need it. We can see their dynamic in the team easy enough with a well written scene. There just...

    Not even that, half the time. How many good shows end before we get a proper conclusion?

    General Marvel Legends

    That part. The secrecy is not only silly, but kinda killing things at this point. These companies can't get proper merch out on time because either half the cast is hidden, or the designs change so much between concept and final film. Especially when a lot of these are the worst kept secrets. I...
