I haven't seen a worst screenplay and making like this movie has.. please have some mercy on the people who watch this. Taking Social issue as story is good but the realising moment doesn't seem to be justifiable. It is more predictable in the first half itself.
Took 6 episodes to tell the protagonist is the son of devil and the usa president is the devil.
I looked at it according to the chronological order. Find it makes no sense at all otherwise.
VIOLET: 24 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
GREEN: 7 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
YELLOW: 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
ORANGE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
BLUE: 5 DAYS BEFORE THE HEIST
WHITE: THE HEIST
RED: THE MORNING AFTER THE HEIST
PINK: 6 MONTHS AFTER
That Danielson/Sabre match was unreal, what a show stealer. And then Adam Copeland in possibly the worst kept Wrestling secret but hell yes I marked out. What a great show.
This Forbidden Door took everything that made the inaugural PPV great and cranked it up!
Last year Ospreay stole the show with Cassidy. This year we get Ospreay in a “bigger” match.
Last year Okada didn’t get his moment to shine due to Cole’s injury. This year he gets main event treatment.
Last year we missed Punk and MJF. This year they were the first two matches.
Could it have been better? Absolutely. But every match was superb for being “standard” matches. That Ospreay/Omega match was possibly the greatest match I’ve ever seen in my life. I truly didn’t want to see it end!
This PPV has officially become the single most excited for annual outing. 2 for 2 with absolutely excellent shows.
Best Match: Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega
Rating: 5/5 - 95% - Highly Recommend
As expected, a quality card that serves as a good intro to WrestleMania later this evening!
Most of the wins were predictable, but predictable in a good way. Exciting to see what the new champions bring to NXT and I’m even more excited to see Bron Breakker be Bobby Lashley’s surprise opponent tonight/tomorrow.
Best Match: Waller vs Gargano
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
It was predictable Theory was winning MITB once he was missing through most of it.
Overall a pretty decent (albeit rather predictable) show. Both Money in the Bank matches were as good as expected from the batch of quality competitors in each. Big moments surrounded with some lulls. Women and tag championship matches were good, despite never expecting the champs to lose against the competitors. Not the most memorable show ever, but worth watching nonetheless.
Best Match: The Usos vs The Street Profits
Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching
Funny that I saw a WWE fan say that AEW is in trouble because WWE is having Brock vs Roman….again lol.
This is how you do a show and most of these matches are fresh and never happened. Plus Claudio/Cesaro may be yet another former WWE guy.
He deserves to be somewhere that appreciates him either way. That was never WWE.
From The Buy In till the final bell, every single match in the event was just great. If you're a wrestling fan, a must watch.
Great show with not one bad match. The reviews just aren’t higher because someone again rated a AEW ppv low before it aired.
Of course when you are actually looking forward to an elimination chamber. Brock is added to make it predictable.
Of course as soon as Brock got in. He got rid of Seth, Riddle and AJ with F5’s. With him throwing AJ out of the ring like he is trash.
Theory got some offense in. To get an F5 off a pod to get pinned as well.
Lashley was taken out when someone was put through his pod and he was taken to the back. Probably to protect him from being destroyed by Brock.
Now Roman vs Brock yet again will be the only title match at WM. Which was predictably happening as soon as Brock said he wanted the match title vs title.
Same shit, different day.
It was a decent show until that match.
Oh and Goldberg vs Roman I forgot even happened. Nothing to write home about. Roman made him pass out by submission. Goldberg held the ropes at one point and the ref totally ignored it and the move was kept on.
The usual pretty much. Though they hinted the Rock might come out since the golden egg from his movie was there. That never happened though.
Just ended with Roman winning which was no surprise. At least spoiled Charlotte lost to Becky.
Pawan Malhotra is completely badass and he has proved his mettle (Grahan!). Also provided that he is an ex-cop in this drama but his ability to pull off this much makes the story weak.
Another WWE fan boy gave a AEW show a low rating, probably without watching it obviously. Also before the show was even over. Since this was an amazing ppv with Paul Wight vs QT Marshall the only bad match. That was preshow worthy or what they should have left for Rampage.
Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks in a steel cage stole the show with the right team winning. Darby vs Punk was the second best match.
The main event was excellent too but the ending is what is worth sticking around for. Not just Adam Cole showing up and joining the Elite but Daniel Bryan showing up as well. To help Jungle Boy and friends against the Elite.
They actually fucking did it! I don't even know what to say. I love this company.
CM Punk...Bryan Danielson....Adam Cole....Ruby Soho.... Every match was good top to bottom. And the greatest tag team match of all time from The Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros. Amazing event. AEW is changing wrestling forever.

Why Fox chose to air these out of order is as much a mystery as why they aired Firefly out of order. The character development and world building makes so much more sense when viewed in the intended order. All the actors involved are top notch and the scripts are fresh and engaging. Was really disappointed when the series wasn’t renewed. Purchased it as soon as it was available on Vudu so I could enjoy it over and over.
TGIF, thanks god it’s finished. I watched complete S1 to be sure. I got tired of “Saving my sister, Need to stop my sister, Lost my sister, Love my sister” things, And again and again. That’s doesn’t make an interesting plot
Not superhero type, as the Bat is more focused in what to bang every night like a frenzy lesbian. Pity they turn a gay character so badly. It’s ruining the cause. To be canceled soon please.
There’s some high spots but they are over-hyped the debut of Christian. It’s like they expected it to be big again after he debuted in TNA like 15 years ago.
I wanted Angle but no point in getting more people who debuted 20 years ago. Focus on getting people like the totally wasted Aleister Black.
Plus they should have worked on that ring explosion harder for the ending.
Without even watching it. You know Drew and Roman are winning. The belts are reserved for Brock and Goldberg.
I was right too. Annoying Jay Uso helped Roman predictably win.
Charlotte back was a surprise. Her bringing her shovel wasn’t a surprise.
After the recent decline in writing quality over the recent seasons, I was hoping they were saving all of their mojo for the final season. Boy was I wrong. Trying to copy Game of Thrones here with a final turd of a season as a sendoff? This final season of Supernatural was absolutely abysmal. Though as bad as the final season of Game of Thrones was, the final episodes of Supernatural (the ones that were actually focused on the main plot) are still far superior because they at least know how to stay true to their two main characters.
The entire final season is carried by meta-humor, callbacks, and bringing back as many previous guest stars as possible. Regardless of if the guest stars make any sense or impact the story in any meaningful way, they'll have the entire plot revolve around them to serve as a mcguffin to carry on the plot to the next mcguffin. "Developed" characters making the same decisions, mistakes, and apologies they have in every prior season. I guess it counts as character development if they repeatedly "learn" the same lesson and don't change themselves /s. Plot convenience after plot convenience (even if you break the fourth wall and acknowledge it in the script!) isn't good writing. It's lazy writing. Think you won't have time to do stupid side filler episodes during a final season consisting of only 20 episodes? Wrong. As always, they have to work their run-of-the-mill cases, regardless of the fact that the world is ending... again... (this time even something as big of a deal as GOD himself). 85% of the season was entirely filler with only 15% of it left for the main plotline to be scattered into those filler episodes for just a few minutes each. The entire season felt like obnoxious fan service....for characters and plot points that have already been resolved and concluded??? I guess "No One's Ever Really Gone"(https://youtu.be/gNTLC_uiGFA) really speaks monuments. They went ahead and destroyed any closure the side characters' original plotlines had in favor for these new endings which feel so cheap and undeserving AKA shitty retconning. It completely undermines/disrespects the sacrifices and any development these characters had in their original arcs. If they wanted to bring back characters for good fan service and nostalgia, they could have at least brought back the heavy hitters like Lucifer (more of him), Crowley, Bobby (the actual character instead of a superficial cameo), John Winchester, Loki, Cain, or Azazel but I doubt the writers would've had enough talent to handle them. Instead, we got a bunch of second rate hunters and side characters (ones I'd argue very few people actually care about) stealing the spotlight which felt extremely forced and unearned, all the while it was clear the writers wanted me to root for them or applaud them anytime they'd make their reappearance. If you want me to root or cheer for a character you have to earn it through writing good characters and developing them, not solely because they existed in a prior season.
Somehow each season seems to increasingly surprise me with poorer acting, especially from the extras. The acting has gotten so bad from the main cast, its hard to ignore and not cringe at their mannerisms they've developed from playing the same characters and saying the same repetitive lines all these years. As much as I love Jensen and Jared, when you see them step out of their character and into another one, their poor acting really shines; not because you're not used to them playing other roles but because its really bad. Though that could entirely be the fault of the directors, which would not surprise me.
All of the degrading plot behavior and the strict formula-following that the recent seasons have been experiencing more and more of as time goes on has been amplified by 200% for the final stretch in the series. In the shows case, the more it "carried on", the more unbearable it became. It's truly sad to see them go after such a long journey but thankfully its come to an end before it's gotten any worse because the writing staff have absolutely tarnished whatever resemblance of a unique and engaging story was left.
I must say that the final episode seriously felt like Jack wrote it instead of Chuck. It's truly a great metaphor; The same feeling of when people with no idea and no passion for a project take over another persons creation. An ingenuine presentation and almost like a fan fiction. Told by someone who wants to end the characters in whatever way they feel rather than a well written and thought out conclusive ending to our two characters journey. I couldn't think of a more cookie cutter and easy ending. I know they made it a little cheesy towards the end of the episode but it feels like the writers are mocking the audience with exactly how bad this ending was... They knew exactly what they were doing and it truly irritates me. F### that Carry On cover, it was like the cherry on top of the steaming pile of s###, a spit in the face. I'm beginning to think that they were serious when Chuck mentioned how he adored the Game of Thrones ending, because clearly the writers took notes.
As much as I enjoyed the earlier seasons of Supernatural, I would describe this final season and many of the other recent seasons in two words: Lazy and Formulaic.
Oh, it started out so promising... I do enjoy a good super hero story and particularly much so if the ladies get to be more the kick ass-kind than damsels in distress. Then only a short bit into the first season it got all discursive and there were whole episodes about stuff that really didn't have anything to do with the main story - as a matter of fact I started wondering if there WAS a main story.
The last half of the season I watched while doing something else, because I honestly didn't care much for what they did or if they made it to the next episode.
I will not watch the next season. This has been enough waste of my time.
I had such high hopes but this season has been a real disappointment. It doesn't even feel like there's a main story. Like they had trouble making connection between the episodes.
And wtf kind of season finale is that? It's like "hey, we have no idea what we gonna do with the main characters of this series. So, here, just have some batman and joker story to get you hyped till we figure it out. See you next season!"
Everything felt so rushed and we didn't get any closure. Maybe it would have worked better with a 23 episodes format. I hope season 2 will get us somewhere.
Otis vs the Miz for the briefcase, boring. Morrison has been criminally wasted since returning. He should have got the match or Aleister Black or Cesaro.
Jay Uso vs Roman in a I-Quit Hell in the Cell match but you knew Roman would win. He got Jay to quit by putting Jimmy in a submission move.
So the Fiend will only have the belt a week. Before they hand it to Roman ??
It is not a big deal, removing the shock from the sickle, the characters are insufferable, it is somewhat seedy, at least it is short
