33) #HeroLaKill (fic and art by Aduubo)

"Slow-burn romance between Izuku Midoriya and 'forgotten childhood friend' Ryuko Matoi" shouldn't work. "MHA and KLK share a universe" shouldn't work. I shouldn't still be invested after 57 chapters of repetitive prose.

But it does, and I am.

32) #Weapons movie

Went to see this last week, and forgot to bring it up here. Not because it was bad or anything, though. I didn't expect it to lean more towards the latter side of "horror comedy", but hey, we take those.

31) #FantasticFourFirstSteps

If I had a nickel for every really good superhero summer blockbuster released this year that owed its success to fully embracing the cheesy charm, the optimistic heart and soul that gave birth to the genre in the first place... idk.

This film was just

terrific.

30) Spider-Man VS Deku #DEATHBATTLE

At this point, I'm fully convinced Moro doesn't require sleep. Christ. While this is definitely his weakest DB animation by far (a bit too slow / reference-heavy in a few too many places)... I mean, it's still a Moro episode. It's still a good DB episode.

29) #Superman

One of THE most unapologetically "comic-book-ass" comic book movies since The Avengers 2012. It's so genuinely stupid, so genuinely goofy, so genuinely... I dunno, GENUINE in every single thing it does. And it's so valid for that.

28) #KPopDemonHunters

Animation? Phenomenal!
Soundtrack? Great!
Characters? Fun! Enough...!
Plot? Formulaic to a sometimes-frustrating extent...

Overall? Maybe THE 7/10 of all time.

27) #WaxAndWayne Book 4: The Lost Metal

That's #Mistborn era 2 done and dusted. What a fucking ride, man. It's like if The Legend of Korra had somehow managed to fully surpass The Last Airbender. I love LOK, but W&W does LOK better than LOK.

And I dunno what more needs to be said from me.

26) #Pokemon Minced Fusions

Definitely the least polished ROM hack I've played so far, and the edgy-to-lol-randumb writing took a while to grow on me. But man, they COOKED with a lot of the fusion designs. So much charm and personality, cool and cursed alike!

25) Wile E. Coyote VS Tom Cat #DEATHBATTLE

Scooby VS Courage? Bugs VS Mickey? Nah, THIS was always the peak toon-force matchup in my eyes. So I'm very pleased to say that, for as tall of an order as it was, DB team knocked it outta the park. Probably my third favorite of the Kickstarter era so far.

24) #GuiltyGearStrive: Dual Rulers

Man, I prefer Blazblue as a whole, but it really isn't allowed to have ANYTHING over Guilty Gear nowadays. It's like "Alright, in what area haven't we outshone BB yet? [...] Oh, yeah, tie-in anime series! Hey, why don't we make GG's actually fun to watch?"

23) #SlayThePrincess

It was horrifying. It was hilarious. It was tragic, and it was BEAUTIFUL. It was a game I needed to play on the 7th anniversary of a rough breakup, a game that made me finally confront certain feelings in ways years of therapy never could.

@blacktabbygames.com, thank you.

22) Simon the Digger VS Kyle Rayner #DEATHBATTLE

Another episode I've been dreading for years, another episode where how much I enjoyed it REALLY depended on whether my guy won or lost. And now that it's out... I mean, it's a 6 or 7 outta 10.

So pretty much a better Joker VS Giorno, all around.

21) #Thunderbolts*

Never did I have less faith in a MCU flick upon its announcement, and never has an MCU flick shoved my own foot in my mouth quite like this. The emotional core is super strong and the villain defeat was so fucking satisfying that I actually yelled in the theater.

I'm sorry.

20) #MonsterHunterWilds

My first deep dive into the MH series, and yeah, I totally get why my friends have been trying to get me into it for so long—We’re not even halfway through 2025, and it’s still hard to not call this ending up GOTY!

I mean, unless someone drops another game with Wudwuds.

19) #ShovelKnight replay

Tonight's my last night in the home I've known for 18 years. These past few days, in-between packing and preparing, I've been booting up my 3DS for the first time in years and replaying SK. Felt like a fitting way to close out an era of my life, y'know?

It's still peak.

I swear, this motherfucker, Brandon Sanderson, doesn't know how to miss.

17) Pokemon Gaia

Now, I'm gonna need any fan of this to hear me out when I say "it's one of my least favorite Poke-roms so far", because it's still a super-solid experience. It just has a ton of amazing competition. Competition that's, y'know, mostly finished.

16) Sinners

If you still haven't seen #Sinners in theaters because you're wondering if it can really be THAT good, let me push you off of the metaphorical fence because it is THAT good. The music, the characters, the music, the story, THE FUCKING MUSIC... IT. IS. THAT. GOOD.

15) Master Chief VS Doomslayer #DEATHBATTLE

Apologize to DevilArtemis right now. You'll know whether or not that applies to you.

14) #IndieCross episode 2

I can't get over how much this is "just Subspace Emissary as an animated web series starring indie game characters". I also can't emphasize enough how much of a compliment that is. Holy fuck, Moro. Holy fuck.

13 #DaredevilBornAgain

Look, I know it's super obvious when the creative overhaul struck, and that DOES result in some weighty gaps in quality here and there.

But when this shit is good? Oh... Oh, it is SO fucking good. We are SO fucking back. Here's to daring our devils together.
