I am actually surprised that originated with The Dark Knight honestly. It is kinda a variation on Nietzche’s “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become a monster”, which as a kid, I always thought meant to make sure a Werewolf doesn’t bite you when you fight them Read more

He’s my favourite Ghost Rider, and it’d let the MCU do a sort of ‘soft reset’ since he’s never been mentioned in any films, so they could present him as the ‘main’ GR. Read more

Ketch motorcycle probably the coolest ride for Ghost Rider. Read more

The best Rider and the one they haven’t depicted yet. He even fits the profile pretty good. Obviously older but still it would work. Ketch is my GR. Read more

This is Hot Dog Water erasure! Read more

The creators of Yellowjackets said they have 5 (maybe it was 4) seasons outlined and then they’re done. Read more

Yellowjackets should have won best drama. s3 succession wasn’t emmy winning. Read more
