BIG TOM GOT A SHIRT!
AND HE'S SMILING ON IT!
Probably was thinking about the time he stalked Jericho through an arena
It's incredibly difficult to build momentum as a reader when you know that the vast majority of the projects you want to check out won't last longer than 10 issues, will likely end as part of a crossover/event that you might not care about, and will be replaced by another potentially 10 issue book
WOOF PACK
Before the season started I was saying (along with plenty of others), that this was going to be his make or break year
My biggest concern wasn't that he'd be a bust, I knew he wouldn't be
No, my concern was the Birds giving up on him for a AA reliever and him hitting his potential somewhere else
Everyone is making Akira Yoshida jokes, and I'm just sitting here with an aching hip wondering where the time went because I remember making fun of these when they launched the first time around and I was an 'edgy teenager' who hated this 'goofy looking kids stuff'.
I jokingly pitched this a buddy of mine yesterday (the split itself, not how the members would break down)
Though I referred to the groups as "DCF Elite" and "DCF Black and White"
I never miss a good chance to say this, but....
THIS IS WHY YOU DO THE TWO MINUTE SQUASH MATCH JOB!
Tony rewards hard workers who are there to work and not just build their own brand.
And this is true about Maya and Skye!
I've spent a few years telling a friend of mine that he needs to read the Eclipso ongoing, and he always counters "Well, I need to read the event first!"
No, you really don't, it's a 90s event where a few issues matter and most don't, but that ongoing series that spun out? Totally worth it.
"Let's do a show about a bunch of people in college that just keep getting fucked up all the time and doing stupid/horrible shit?"
The worst thing about Blue Mountain State is that it was only three seasons
...the second worst thing is the movie, and the spinoff movie bailing is totally Millennial
i love that Mox is now committed to saying "woof" on TV as often as possible
Eclipso jumped into his own brief series after this, which also had The Creeper in as a foil, and a lot of Giffen and Fleming's work here is setting that up. It's an event which might well have been better as just the first arc of that book (but then nobody would have bought it!) /end

Okay Bluesky what’s your favorite piece of distinctively millennial media, or a genre that feels very millennial-coded?
