Peacemaker Season 2
I think to describe this season in a single sentence would be "Too many ideas, not enough runtime, and not enough focus on the ideas that matter most to this story trying to be told."
Honestly like 2 or 3 of the storylines here should have been cut and...

Borderlands 3 (Replay)
Once upon a time this was one of my most anticipated releases of all time across any medium. The wait for this game was torturous, and I DEVOURED this game on release. With a collective playtime of probably about 2,000 hours total across BL1, BL2, & TPS...

Zack Snyder's Justice League (Rewatch)
The discourse around Snyder's films makes me wish I just hated everything he did so I wouldn't feel like I need to dig in my heels to just say "this is a really good fucking movie, actually." I felt this way about BvS, and I...

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) [Rewatch]
This movie dovetails so well into Man of Steel that it's difficult to separate the two, because this film offers a more complete look at this take on Superman.
What does the S stand for, really? Is it really hope?

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

This game has a lot of problems, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have fun in just jumping around and fighting enemies. I do think this is a fun game with some undercooked mission structure, but it has moments when it...

Man of Steel (Rewatch)
This is a fairly controversial movie for many Superman fans, and for good reason. This film shows us a very different Superman, and I think in retrospect, in a post Batman v Superman world, this movie is pretty strong in its own right.

Batman: Arkham Knight (Replay)
I've adored this game the day it came out 10 full years ago, and I still adore it today. This is the greatest superhero game ever created, this is Batman in gameplay form perfected. I think people hate this game less with time, yeah.

Batman: Arkham City (Replay)
Where to even start with this game, its hands down probably the most legendary superhero game ever made, one of the best games released in 7th generation, and an example of a perfect sequel in every single way.

Peacemaker Season 1
I said previously I felt like The Suicide Squad was the best thing James Gunn had ever done, and honestly, I think after watching this season I think this is actually his best. Chris is such a compelling character for both humor and emotional growth.

Batman: Arkham Origins (Replay)
This is the game I played the least in this series, not cause I dislike it but because outside of PC, this game is still on PS3/360 jail lol. That said however, this game was and still is probably the most underappreciated Arkham game to date.

Superman & Lois Season 4
The Life of Superman
The Death of Superman
The Return of Superman
The Legacy of Superman
These 4 things are the core pillars of this show, a show that absolutely cut short, but made the most of the time it had. And god if I don't love this show.

Superman & Lois Season 3
I think I would say this is probably the tightest written season so far in the show, Bruno and Peia were fantastic antagonists filled with so much humanity that made them easily the most compelling villains in the show so far.

Superman & Lois Season 2
Season has some of the same issues Season 1 had, but man if this season doesn't hit higher highs. I love the take on Bizarro here, although I do wish he could have been around longer. Hoechlin's Superman has entered one of my favorites of all time.

Superman Returns (lost count of rewatches)
There's a thought that good art will always end up appreciated. Movies like this one however always make me question if that's really true, because this is a really, REALLY good movie and its still forgotten, still underappreciated.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
In equal parts grander and more bizarre, Death Stranding 2 follows up a work of art about the value and importance in connecting with each other, and in so doing asks was it worth it? Was it worth connecting, worth living?

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Season 1
I'll refrain from going too far here since I need to see the second half of the series, but so far, I really like this show. Its probably going to end up being my favorite Gundam work I've seen at this rate.

Resident Evil Remake (3rd replay)
This game needs no introduction. Resident Evil 1 was a seminal and classic entry for survival horror as a genre, and its remake elevates basically everything from the original and makes the game even better than it was across the board.

Death Stranding (1st replay)
Death Stranding is a game unlike any other. Its in equal measures a work commenting on America's fractured state, a rumination on isolation and humanity's need for connections, and a work celebrating life even in the face of extinction.

Resident Evil VII Biohazard (1st replay)
The game that basically marked this new golden era for the RE series and Capcom as whole. This game is a masterclass in horror, one that doesn't just tirelessly stress you and scare you, but one that lets you build yourself up to feel powerful.
