Request by our lord @Steel Sponge No shock to anyone here that I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I have loved this franchise since I was a kid and I still have affection for it to this day, even if we are in an era that caters to fans who will never be satisfied. I have watched every Star Wars movie to this day (except Mandalorian and Grogu which I might skip cuz nothing interesting happens in it and you have to pay me to see it in theaters, including my ticket), therefore I'll rank each Star Wars movie I have seen from worst to best. Here we go! Everyone and their mother tore this movie to shreds that there isn't anything else to say at this point. But since I'm ranking these movies, might as well say it anyways. This is the biggest cowardice Star Wars will ever be. Appealing to a group of haters who couldn't stand the fact that Rey was not special. It spits on the idea of Star Wars in which anyone can be a hero, you do not have to have a special lineage to do so. The idea of Rey being a Palpatine does not serve her character at all. It's a retread of Luke's arc, only much less emotionally impactful. J.J. Abrams sidelines Finn, Poe and Rose (especially Rose) here, the main poc characters in this movie (Making your main latino character a former spice runner is certainly a choice). Gives Kylo Ren a redemption, even though the most interesting thing about him was the fact that he became a baddie on his own accord that he no longer needed anyone else. Cringe MCU-lite dialogue that does not fit Star Wars. A lot of this movie is painfully bad and the most hilarious aspect of it is the fact that it pleased barely anyone. What a waste. Early Clone Wars era was rough for sure. I do not hate this compared to other people cuz this was basically a 4 episode arc that became a theatrical movie but even though I watched this movie in theaters as a kid, I definitely was not impressed by it. Although a lot of it was me questioning which timeline does it take place (cuz I hadn't watched prequels during that time), I revisited it during my Clone Wars binge and it truly was something. Focusing on adventures of Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka and Rotta the Hutt (who was a baby here, now a gladiator in another Star Wars tv episode turned movie), you can see how this movie is gonna go. I don't wanna be as harsh on this since this introduces Ahsoka who will have a brilliant arc from Clone Wars to Rebels. She serves fine here and I like her banter with Anakin in this. The problem is that this should have been a big deal since people wanted to see the events of Clone Wars but this movie is barely about the war and more about rescuing a baby Hutt. CGI is bland and the story is so dull. It's a miracle Clone Wars eventually became one of the strongest Star Wars pieces ever made but this was not the ideal start for sure. There are aspects of prequel movies I'll always defend, even if they can be such cheesy movies. Unfortunately this movie just bores me to tears. That isn't to say there isn't good stuff here but unlike other prequel movies, it's a struggle to pinpoint those. I think this movie does a poor job with Anakin's slow turn to darkness. Anakin massacres a Tuskin tribe (INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN TOO) cuz they killed his mother and Padme is so apathetic to the fact that Anakin killed WOMEN AND CHILDREN. I live in Middle East and although I'm not an arab, i can see the fact that Tuskins are just oriental alien arabs living in sand, therefore them being portrayed as savages killing Anakin's mom definitely rubbed me the wrong way and I'm not so sure what is the takeaway from this. Are we supposed to be angry about Anakin committing this massacre? If so, why is Padme not reacting negatively to this much? If the idea was to portray Padme in the wrong for not caring about this, then the story doesn't call her out either. Padme is written so poorly in the prequel era that I'm amazed by how much Clone Wars salvages her and makes her romance with Anakin click cuz it feels more messy and complex and Padme has more interiority. Their romance in this movie is bland, Hayden and Natalie have barely any chemistry. Fight scenes are okay but there is barely anything standing out. Except Yoda's flip moves I guess. It's not the worst Star Wars movie but of all Lucas made ones, this takes the cake for sure. This line is iconic though, go off queen. This was such a bland movie that was salvaged so hard by the third act. I admit that I was too harsh on them for killing of the entire cast cuz I think the beauty of the third act is the fact that they all died, so they could give the Rebellion hope. Granted, this movie kinda exists to explain the small plot detail in A New Hope but seeing them sacrifice their lives for something greater is even more impactful after watching Andor. Jyn dying alongside Cassian who kept looking for his sister who possibly never made it as a child but eventually gained a new sister through Jyn is so tearjerky. The score is brilliant, visuals are stunning and the actors are giving it their all. If only the first two acts weren't so unmemorable beyond a few memes here and there. I was not so into how Darth Vader's dialogue was written in this. It comes across too forced for me. The final scene with Vader killing all the rebel leaders is kickass but it also exists just for the fanservice purpose. And there is the elephant in the room, the goddamn deepfake of Leia which was so fucking jarring and definitely paved way for what they'd do with Luke 4 years later, yuck. This was such a serviceable movie that exists for funsies. I truly did not need to know about Han Solo's deal but it's harmless for the most part. Some decent action and fun banter between Han and Lando. People were way too harsh on Alden Ehrenreich's role in this. He does a perfectly good job as Han and I think it should have been encouraged to have him keep playing Han. Donald Glover as Lando was truly great, no notes here. He is so charming in this, If only we got that Lando spin-off now... Qi'ra was a good edition to Star Wars lore and I dug her story and her relationship with Han. It's not a great movie but you can sit back and tune in for a bit if you want something light and breezy. I have two biggest problem with this movie. One of them is the shoehorned Maul cameo which existed just to set up a sequel. I love Maul but that was so unnecessary, arguably his only scene that makes me annoyed. The other one being a silly origin for Han's last name. Sometimes less is more. I'm not so butthurt about learning more about Han but did we have to do that? Not everything needs to be explained, leave it up to interpretation lmao. Oh well, what's done is done. This movie's fanbase is among the worst ever and they can kiss my ass. However, I kinda like this movie? It's such a flawed movie don't get me wrong. Awful CGI, boring senator meetings (no one could do it like Andor, I'm afraid.) and Watto of all things. But It's a fun time and it doesn't make me wanna look at my watch like Attack of the Clones did. My hot take maybe is that Jar Jar is funny here. Sure, he is an unnecessary comic relief in this. A pure dumbass that causes nothing but trouble but you know what? He can be amusing. We have had much worse characters from this franchise for me to be mad at him in the year 2026. "Uh oh big boomas" and "exsqueeze" me make me laugh, I'm sorry. Other than that, I like the way Anakin and Obi-Wan are introduced here. Anakin is so fun in this and I like Obi-Wan as Qui-Gon's Padawan in this until he graduates to become a Knight and take care of Anakin. Pod race scene is so exciting and joyful to watch. John Williams goes apeshit with the soundtrack, especially Duel of the Fates. Speaking of that, this movie introduces Darth Maul who got a badass fight scene but eventually got the short end of stick until Clone Wars revived him and made him my favorite villain in this franchise ever. I admire it more now cuz of what it leads to. This movie was clowned on so much back in early 00s and I get that it was tonally jarring after coming off of a banger trilogy but you know, if liking this movie is illegal, I'll make it legal! The movie I put as #1 on my 2015's best movies list a decade ago. I truly was on the hype back then along with many people who felt Star Wars was so back. I watched it alongside my former university friends back then and that was nothing but a brilliant experience and I'll never forget the memories I had with them there. But as years pass by, I realize that this movie is not actually that good. Everything about this rehashing A New Hope is true. We replay the hits with this one, especially Starkiller or whatever it was called which kills not just one but multiple planets, the impact is just not there for me. The only time I felt it was enriched in a way was when the main character in Star Wars: Resistance cartoon had his planet killed (look at another Star Wars media making stuff that did not work in the movie work). I could have been invested in this if this was more of a commentary on how fascism will always appear when you think it has died and you claimed victory but outside of Hux's speech, it doesn't go anywhere in that territory. We are introduced to the new trio, Rey, Finn and Poe as well as the villain Kylo Ren. I really like their introduction here, even if I think some of it could have been retooled. It is kinda weird that Poe gives Finn a name and then dies, Finn forgets about him for a while until he returns. Surely you could have made it more interesting by having Finn be devastated by the death of a person who actually treated him like a human but regardless, I love him and Poe's dynamic here and it was one of the first cases which I actually saw how romantic they were towards each other and Disney was such a coward for not leaning into that. Rey I thought was great for the most part. People were truly wack when they thought Rey was portrayed perfectly cuz she goes through obstacles and eventually has to find a way to survive but fans sure as hell are mad and need Rey to justify why she is so skilled, even though we know why if you pay attention... Then there is Kylo Ren who shines bright in this. I like that compared to Vader, he is such a manchild who struggles to live up to his grandfather's legacy but what I find so engaging about him is the fact that he had good parental figures but ultimately was drawn to the dark side. I loved when he killed Han, that was one of the most compelling parts of the movie and it was a shame his turn to become the worst was undercut by another redemption arc. This was definitely a fun, albeit a shaky start to an overall messy trilogy. A lot if it is retreads of a much more iconic movie but new elements were worth keeping until they were butchered so hard. Now for Star Wars movies I actually love... The black sheep of Star Wars movies. Truly the most divisive story in the franchise. The one that officially broke the Star Wars fandom that we still feel the effects nearly a decade later. But you know what? I still admire it years later. This is the movie that understands Star Wars more than most creators in tv and movies tried to achieve. But before I get into all that, I can understand some of the criticisms. Poe's subplot feels a bit aimless as Rian Johnson is trying to make him distinct from J.J. Abrams sorta making him Han Solo of the new group, making him brash and abrasive which I was interested in but that was a jarring plot for sure. Finn and Rose storyline hurt Finn as a character for me, I really did not buy his progression from TFA to this. Although I'll defend Rose rescuring Finn from a pointless suicide mission any time of the day. That being said, everything with Rey, Kylo Ren and Luke clicks from the jump. I truly did not give a fuck about Snoke getting killed, that bitch was never interesting compared to Kylo Ren (and especially even less interesting now cuz of the retcon). Luke stuff did not really bother me when I first saw it and I felt like people had trouble seeing what Johnson was doing with him here. Rey and Kylo moments though, just perfect. Rey realizing that she isn't someone special was a powerful message cuz you don't need to have a special lineage to be a Jedi or Sith. Kylo Ren's arc moves into a great place as he finally realizes that he can forge his own path of villainy, apart from Vader and Snoke. That made him such a unique villain for a minute and I was so excited for him to be the final boss, only for Abrams to undo all that impact. I truly love this movie, despite its flaws cuz it understands the core themes of Star Wars and at the same time, it asks us to move forward. Have new meanings out of it and not rely on the past. That's why Luke's sacrifice at the end was so poetic. He did one final victory, becoming the beacon for the Resistance to move forward. That was so poetic. One memory from my life that I wanna go back to for this movie is that my dad has never seen The Force Awakens but he did watch The Last Jedi on TV while it was airing. When he finished the movie, he told me that he really liked it. Star Wars was one of the few things I was connected with my dad about, so him saying that to me is a lot more meaningful and true to me than whatever nostalgic chud wanna say how they ruined Star Wars cuz of woke or whatever. That isn't to say you can't dislike this movie for actual constructive criticisms. I get some of the criticisms and we can have meaningful discussion out of them but If the discussion is gonna be about how diversity is ruining the franchise or whatever, get out of my way. I rambled too much, this movie is so fucking good. This was sure as hell a satisfying conclusion to the original trilogy. It wraps up everything nicely and have our characters grow and change. Luke and Darth Vader's last confortation leads to a really emotional fight scene with Luke going back and forth with the force. Trying to not fall into the dark side that his father is tempting him with. What is so great about lightsaber scenes is when two opponents have conflict which makes for juicy storytelling. You can see Luke's frustration and rage when Vader is trying to bring the worst in him. But he eventually overcomes Vader's tricks and chooses light which made for a great development for Luke. But I think the real emotional growth was Vader standing up to The Emperor Plapatine when he was striking Luke. Killing him (shut up, og one is dead in my canon) in the process and acting one last heroism and getting closure with his son. Luke seeing his father's face for the first time, how can you not cry? We get one last victory with Leia, Han and Ewoks killing Stormtroopers and Leia and Han finally declaring their love towards each other without anything to tear them apart this time and we get our happy ending with Luke, Leia and Han celebrating their victory with Ewoks and Luke making a funeral for his father and at the end, seeing his ghost with Obi-Wan and Yoda. It just works. Maybe criticising this movie wouldn't be so fair and I don't have too many issues. Maybe the fact that I wish we get to see Han not being so easily forgiving towards Lando at first. I would have loved to see them actually work through their issues and joining side by side for this epic battle. And the second Death Star felt a bit like Lucas had no idea how to top the climax of A New Hope, so he had to put it here as well. But yk, it won't be weird as Starkiller in The Force Awakens. Other than that, I have no complaints, although it's definitely not my top 3 for sure cuz I think top 3 was a lot more impactful to me. Regardless, great movie and a beautiful finale (until it wasn't). This was one movie I had been keeping on hold for this long because I wanted to watch it right after Clone Wars cartoon ended. I was not sure if it was a wise decision or not cuz this movie still works without seeing Clone Wars but I think watching 7 seasons of that show and actually learning more about Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme and the clones, it made the tragedy sting a lot harder. Seeing Order 66 happen here as Obi-Wan and Yoda are betrayed by the clones and Anakin fall into the dark side by killing Mace Windu, all of that hits so hard. Especially Anakin and Obi-Wan's fight after Anakin leads to Padme's death. The dialogue is something for sure but i think the emotional impact is still there because you see Obi-Wan felt betrayed by Anakin and vice versa. Obi-Wan seemingly leading to Anakin's death and then Palpatine resurrecting Anakin to become Darth Vader was a tragic end to this trilogy. This was a movie with awkward and clunkily written dialogue like other prequel movies but unlike the other two, I honestly just dig how bizarre the dialogue can be. Is it tonally clashing and badly written? Sure but you know, I'm having a blast. What makes them work is because a lot of them come from Palpatine and Ian McDiarmid does amazing line delivery every step of the way. He truly steals the show (and the galaxy) because he is just that good. I can quote "I am the Senate" and "It is treason then" anytime baby. Although every other corny line in the movie by other actors still works just as much. Obi-Wan and General Grievous exchange always gets me. It's such a fun time but also very grim. I liked that it ends both hopeful and also sad. It's not just the best prequel movie, it's one of the best Star Wars movies. This is it. This is the movie that shook the world. It's difficult to explain why this movie is so great but hopefully I'll try my best on it. The introduction of Luke, Leia and Han is just top notch. You get to see what Luke and Han were like before they were dragged into a galactic conflict and Leia being in the middle of it already. You already sense the war changing them as a result and becoming heroes by the end of it. The worldbuilding of this movie is genuinely impressive. You get little nuggets of what galaxy was like before Empire and how it functions now. Each paving way for what Lucas and other creators will do forward. Practical effects are so lively and alien designs are so cool and unique. You are tossed into a space fantasy sci-fi and you cannot get out of it. IMO Star Wars movie is such a classic good defeats evil story but also deep down, it is Lucas reflecting on Vietnam War and how USA is The Empire. It's a powerful revolution story and no wonder people are attached to it cuz it is common people trying to stop a fascistic regime that terrorizes existence. You are introduced to the main villain Darth Vader who uses Death Star to blow up Leia's home planet. 5 decades later, this couldn't be more true to life unfortunately as multiple genocides across the world are happening. You know that Empire has to go and heroes have to defeat them, it's a timeless tale and that's why this movie is so iconic and resonates with people. Obvious pick for #1 but can you blame me? It is not just the best Star Wars movie but one of the greatest sequels and one of the best movies ever made. Everything about it is so powerful. From the acting, to visuals to score. The story is so tragic and sad it gets you so pumped. Everyone knows by now the twist of Vader being Luke's father but whether you know the twist or not, the scene was so emotionally impactful. Seeing Luke's denial and rage after Vader beat him up so severely, it's tragic. Knowing that your father was not a hero but the villain who causes terror in the galaxy, it breaks him. Causes him to question everything and what he stands for. You already see Luke grappling with dark side tempting him and seeing a vision that he might become like Darth Vader. What happens when the person you are supposed to defeat for peace is your dad? It creates a whole new conflict for Luke and it enriches the character. I like when heroes suffer, so they can overcome the obstacles and win the day and this movie is essential for that. It's not just a test for Luke but also for Leia and Han. Leia and Han deal with their own issues as they are afraid to admit their love for each other. Fisher and Ford has such rich chemistry with each other, they truly sell you on how Leia and Han mean to each other. It culminates with Leia and Han admitting their love for the first time and it's a simple but beautiful exchange that makes for such a good romantic tale. Eventually they get seperated as Han is frozen and sent to Jabba the Hutt and Leia has to be the one to rescue him now, after the first movie, it becomes the other way around. On top of all that, you get introduced to great characters like Lando and Yoda. Lando steals the scene with his charisma and manners and Yoda is just a fun gremlin who becomes a mentor for Luke after passing of Obi-Wan Kenobi. You get to see more cool planets and structures. Awesome gears and machines as well as cool costumes and uniforms. Overall, the movie added so much flavor to this franchise and it reshaped the entertainment industry for good. Powerful tragic tale that ends on one glimpse of hope as Luke is rescued by Leia, Chewie and Lando and knowing that the fight isn't over yet. Exciting and breathtaking locations, kickass action, memorable dialogue and thrilling music. It's truly amazing and it'll forever be one of my favorite movies ever. I know this request was couple of days ago and I certainly didn't expect to talk this much about the franchise but I can't help myself. Star Wars means so much to me. How It reshaped my life, how it means to me personally when it comes to my relationship with my dad and how much of a blast it is to see good guys uniting and creating a revolution that ends tyranny. It's beautiful. Even when I don't have the excitement for the future of this franchise, it'll always be a special galaxy far far away.

thin crust is the easiest for me.

Requested by King @GM Solaris T. Stoat As I already stated in my Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2025 list, 2025 was such a good year for TV but what about the episodes that stood out to me? Why not give them some love? So here I am, talking about these episodes, stick around for... WHOBOB'S TOP 5 BEST TV EPISODES OF 2025 But without going to top 5, here are honorable mentions... TV Show: Polar Opposites Episode: What Is The Mission Anyway? (S6E10) I know people thought Solar Opposites was a lot like Rick and Morty except family sitcom but as the show went on, it forged its own identity and wasn't stuck to a more existential dread that's Rick and Morty. We got to see Korvo and Teddy become an iconic gay couple by the end of the show and Yumyulack and Jesse became such close siblings overall. I won't say further other than the show tying up its plotline in such a crafty way and delivering one final surprise that makes the entire premise click hard. Maybe they hit me with sci-fi "Love this alien sitcom show." raygun but this show was such a gem throughout and im glad that even if it got cancelled, they managed to deliver a satisfying conclusion. TV Show: Smiling Friends Episode: Curse of the Green Halloween Witch (S3E4) This is the funniest ep of the season bar none, also the creepiest Halloween episode they have done. They hit you with so many great jokes like "be my flashlight bitch" and "me was born this way" and some incredible scary sequences. Smiling Friends is known for its funny jumpscares but i like that they limited themselves here and allowed the athomsphere of horror breathe through. it was much more effective. The climax was one of the most jawdropping shit in the show and that should tell when the show has so many WTF moments. Never change, Smiling Friends. TV Show: Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Episode: The Worm and His Orchard Two words: Rebecca Sugar. Her returning back to Adventure Time to storyboard yet another episode, this time being the spin-off Fionna and Cake was great. She still got it after all these years. This whole episode is magical. Best ep of the show yet. The AT franchise is no stranger to worldbuilding but this takes it to a next level. You get a wonderful Rebecca Sugar song. Some heartwrenching moments and revelations. Fionna and Cake develop so much as characters here as well as Huntress Wizard. Surprise appearances you'll find everywhere in this episode. What can i say? Adventure Time is special. TV Show: Futurama Episode: The Numberland Gap (S10E4) Only time you'll find any modern Futurama content in a best list. I'm a sucker for Futurama, I'll be there for it no matter what but Hulu def had some rough patches. Season 10 was still like okay at best but out of all seasons Hulu has made, this is the best one. And The Numberland Gap is the best Hulurama episode yet. I'm always a sucker when Futurama goes nerd sci-fi shit. This time they are focused on math theories (hence the title) but man, they always make them fun. This episode was creative and i had really good laughs. A plot and B plot are wonderfully executed. At first you are a bit confused on where this is all leading but once you get to the end, it all clicks. It had a really emotional moment that i'll remember. Even if i'm not always excited for new Futurama seasons, episodes like this proves that they still have some juice from time to time. TV Show: Star Wars Visions Episode: Black (V3E9) I will not say anything. You just have to see for yourself. So, let's do this top 5!!! #5 TV Show: Severance Episode: Chikhai Bardo (S2E7) This is the episode that not only gives you missing pieces since the cliffhanger of s1 but also gives a powerful tale about exploitation of women's bodies and mind. It is a thrilling and sad hour of TV. Filled with breathtaking cinematography (no surprise this ep was directed by a cinematographer), iconic music and top notch acting, this episode is the best Severance episode yet. It'll crush you and make you cry. #4 TV Show: Pluribus Episode: The Gap (S1E7) People disliking this episode are crazy man, best episode of the show so far. Vince Gilligan gives you two perspectives in this episode that makes you see how they operate under their rough situation. It's a character study. Filled with nice dark humor and some depressing and scary stuff, this episode will make you invested. Without saying further, it sucks that people in filmmaking these days are incapable of capturing the beauty of the world and this episode will teach you how it's done. This show knows how to use Apple budget so effectively and it pays off well. Need season 2 now. #3 TV Show: Heated Rivalry Episode: I'll Believe in Anything (S1E5) I love when I cry at gay shows and this episode will make you sob hard. It's good to see queer people have a show like this and this episode is the best one yet. It's a compelling romance with amazing acting by Hudson and Connor. You get to be invested in Shane and Ilya opening up to each other more and how their relationship grows in time. It's a feel good episode that doesn't ignore what our characters went through. There are some heavy moments but ultimately, it is a fuzzy feeling and i haven't felt like this about a queer themed tv show in a long time or ever in fact. Cannot praise enough as you witness the final 5 minutes. Revolutionary for sure. #2 TV Show: Andor Episode: Who Are You? (S2E8) The show has been building up to this very moment. Call it Star Wars' Ozymandias or The Rains of Castamere or The View from Halfway Down or whatever. It's fucked up. It's soul crushing. It's reflective of this very monent in human history, I feel appalled to see how timeless it is. That's the scariest part. No matter where this would take place, you can pinpoint it to any tragic events. Star Wars has always been outspoken on its anti-fascist themes but it doesnt hit you more than this one. Disney's Star Wars will never get as high as this one. Diego Luna shows some raw performance as you see his character go through a horrific situation. You will not survive this one, I promise. and now for NUMBAH 1!!! #1 TV Show: The Pitt Episode: 7:00PM (S1E13) I knew this episode would kill me but it didn't just kill me. It defiled my corpse and tossed my soul to pits of hell. I cry whenever an episode of TV Show gets me but the last moments were the hardest I sobbed. I couldn't go through that level of pain. Calling it fucked up would undermine how it made me feel. What these doctors go through everyday. I doubt I'd handle all that pressure. Noah Wyle's finest hours of acting. You can see how much Robby is suffering here and how he let everybody down, including himself. There is a reason why The Pitt is one of the best TV shows currently running because they will hit you at the right time. Thanks for reading, now I gotta go to sleep.

It's been almost a year isn't it... Sorry for letting you down zaid but now imma finish what i started...during ramadan. #8 Captain America (Steve Rogers) I loathe USA. The bane of our existence. Vile creation that's still impacting the world negatively to this day. It is no surprise that Captain America is a USA propaganda. When you make your name and costume on an imperial and colonial idea, you have to present what it stands for. But why do I love Captain America? I think whats interesting and compelling about Steve Rogers is that he believes American Dream is still possible. He is aware that what USA stands for is evil and he is a relic of his time. He was frozen during end of WW2, therefore he witnessed a world that isnt recognizable to him. Cuz after WW2, USA became one of the most powerful entities on the planet. Therefore Steve recognizes atrocities America commits more clearly. There are two times he gives up the mantle of Captain America. He became Nomad at first, then years later The Captain because Steve goes back and forth whether he should embrace the symbol or not. I think his conflict in believing the system of USA can be changed is a failure but what's why he is endearing because even though he bases his ideas on something that is never gonna happen, Steve tries his damnest to make it happen, so yeah. #7: Moon Knight Moon Knight is such a complicated character. He has many different iterations over the years (which is funny given he has DID) and not all of it works but when it does, he makes for a brilliant character. What's cool about Marc is that even though he is violent and over the edge, he tries his best to help people whenever he needs but also he is such a messy character with his mixed relationship with his god, Khonshu. Marc is relatable in terms of having a conflict in the god you worship that doesn't respond you right or you question whether he is doing good or not. The thing is that Khonshu is asshole but the point is Marc's struggle to be a weapon of his god. Him wearing Moon Knight costume in the name of Khonshu but him eventually being Moon Knight despite how he feels about his god. Moon Knight also always has had some incredible artists in big two comics. Bill Sienkiewicz's art style changes as you read his Moon Knight run with his co-creator Doug Moench. David Finch's Moon Knight is gritty and unsettling. Declan Shalvey's Moon Knight is clean and has exciting action pages (not to mention him being the one who designed Mr. Knight outfit). Greg Smallwood's Moon Knight is dreamy like. You lose how you view reality with his gorgeous art. And lastly Alessandro Cappuccio and David Pramanik's work on recent (and the longest) Moon Knight run written by Jed MacKay. They both deliver exciting action scenes and the way they draw both Marc, his alters and Moon Knight is iconic. Cannot love this bastard enough. #6: Loki (God of Stories) Yes I'm aware that Loki has always been mostly a villain. Hell, calling them a hero would be a stretch. But Loki makes it to the spot nonetheless because they are an amazing tale of how you defy your own destiny. Loki was the trickster. God of mischief, lies and evil. They had jealousy over Thor and Loki always fought each other, despite being brothers. Black sheep of Odin's family tree. Loki is relatable as an outlier in their family. Simply because they feel rejected for being a snowfrost giant and also because they are queer. Therefore Loki answers to villainy but then they died and were reborn as a kid that wanted to defy their destiny. But there was another Loki alter that simply ate Kid Loki's soul and grew up rapidly but they felt guilt over what they did to Kid Loki, eventually after challenges, they managed to break their destiny and became God of Stories. Not just that but also Loki is the symbol of freedom. About who you wanna be. Finding your own true identity and not be bound to a status quo. Loki's current mission is now freeing everyone at Marvel Universe and that's gonna be an interesting journey moving forward, even if they are owned by Marvel for a long time. Loki has made so many mistakes over the years and they continue to do so but they overcame so many obstacles that I can't help but love them in the long term. #5: Cyclops Sorry Wolverine lovers. This right here is my MAN. Scott has been hated by X-Men fandom for so long due to the misrepresentation of him as a boy scout whereas Wolverine is more of a bad boy. Don't get me wrong, Logan is still a compelling character but even as a kid, I was drawn to Cyclops more. Scott Summers is one of the greatest leaders of not just X-Men but mutants and that's because of him putting himself on the line, regardless of the danger, to save as many of his people as he can. He doesn't get credit or appreciation for it and he is usually pragmatic in how to deal with threats but he doesn't stop trying to make the world a better place for mutants. He's a messy guy with complicated relationships with Jean (who is Phoenix), Madelyne Pryor (clone of Jean Grey, mother of Cable, Goblin Queen of Limbo) and Emma Frost (White Queen) and what's great about his arc is that he was one of Xavier's first students who carried Xavier's dream until he realizes that assimilation is not possible and joined forces with Magneto who wants liberation for mutants and not appeal to humans' interests. What can I say, he is awesome. #4: Storm Storm has been many things. A child thief, a goddess, the leader of X-Men, then Morlocks, lastly Regent of Arakko for a while (once was Mars, then became a place of ancient mutants). She is an omega level mutant that manipulates weather but also once was someone who lost her powers and had to rediscover herself. She was the second generation of X-Men. Xavier approached her and told her she wasn't a goddess but a mutant with abilities. She gave up her responsibilities of Kenya to become an X-Men member and then she failed Morlocks she swore to lead when they were massacred. Storm's conflict of giving up her home to serve Xavier's dream took a toll on her so much that she had conflict with him over and over. She had a punk phase and then she got depowered so bad that she lost her connection to nature, life itself until she regained her powers again. Even though many people struggle how to write Storm, when she is good, she is one of the best superheroes out there. #3: Daredevil Matt is perhaps the realest Marvel character ever cuz he is soooooooooooooo fucking bad. That might be too harsh on Matt (he deserves it) but Matt is a unique character in a superhero world because of the way he battles with his own demons (i had to go there heh). Blinded by a radiation substance and then lost his father because he refused to lose the match, Matt has struggled because of dark situations going on his life. He constantly battles Kingpin who is crime lord of New York so much so that Kingpin caused Matt hit rock bottom until he was born again. Matt is a womanizer with horrible relationships that many of his love interests either suffer or die. He is one of the hottest superheroes ever with insane sex appeal (both comics Matt and Charlie Cox's portrayal of him in the show). Perhaps the character with most consistently good runs over the year since Frank Miller redefined him. Not to mention having a great rogues gallery (Kingpin, Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, The Hand, Muse, Gladiator, The Owl, Purple Man, Punisher from time to time, FUCKING STILT-MAN!!!). A repressed catholic. What's not to love good ol' Matty. If he was queer, I would def hit it, even if it meant I died or became psychotic. #2: Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) A billonaire playboy who was stranded on an island and once he got out, he became a hardcore and loudmouthed liberal superhero. Oliver has always fascinated me as a character. He used to be such a Batman rip off until Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams redefined him and shaped who he became. Oliver is a superhero that constantly challenges heroes to do better. He goes after rich people and corrupt politicians. He has a different moral view in a way many superheroes don't. Sometimes he can be a great leftist hero. Sometimes he is just a white liberal who thinks he knows too much. But even though Oliver is a very political character, he is a shitty dad who neglected his sidekick Roy Harper (Speedy, now Arsenal) and that caused him to become an addict that Oliver slapped Roy's face and considered him a failure. Oliver impregnanted a woman, had a son as a result (Connor Hawke) and he gave him up until they met when he grew up to become the second Green Arrow. He has an on and off relationship with Black Canary. He is a flawed family man who tries his best but sometimes hurts his family as a result but when he does good in the world and challenges the status quo, he is very inspiring in the end. and without waiting this long, here's our number 1! #1: Magneto Sue me. Yes Magneto was right!!! He is another cheat in this list since he has been a villain in the past and anti-hero for most of his history but as years go on, you realize that Xavier's dream means nothing in the grand scale of things. Magneto is a fascinating character because he grew up on Holocaust. Experienced and witnessed the suffering of european jews under nazis. Then he lost his daughter when group of villagers attacked his family. Magneto's story is tragic, cruel and depressing. After the suffering he had, he became Magneto and decided to become the symbol for mutant rights. Of course that doesn't mean Magneto is always good. He has killed innocents before, he caused mutants to die under his name. He was a shitty father to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (Especially Quicksilver). He is a broken figure who just wants to see his people thrive but he is trying his hard to defy expectations, even if it means his methods aren't good. I love Magneto so much because he believes that we shouldn't have to appeal to our oppressors in order to get bare minimum of peace but even though i say he is right, he isn't always right. He makes huge mistakes that causes death and destruction. He is a bad father and can be a bad mentor but when he is good, you know Magneto will make sure you see the sun yet again. Thanks for reading! (I hope I don't delay any of these King Neptune requests again...)

Hello everyone!!! It’s been a while. I can’t lie. I considered not doing another top 10 list for 2024. I pretty much stopped doing movie lists and I think I’m at a place where I’m gonna stop doing annual tv and movie lists because I’m working and I don’t wanna make a list for the sake of it. Why are we here then? Because 2025 pretty much rekindled my love for TV, especially these last two months when I got to talk about tv shows with you guys weekly. It was such a wonderful time that I decided “Hell, why not end my annual lists with this one?”. Maybe I’ll go back to doing this in the future but If not, this is a good stopping point. With so much hell happening in 2025, TV once again became my comfort zone. So I wanna honor that with the great times I had with SBC, here we go… WHOBOB’S TOP 10 BEST TV SHOWS OF 2025 #10: Star Wars: Visions This is a gem that keeps on giving. With complete creative freedom, this show is a great way of reimagining Star Wars as a whole. I don’t know how they keep making gems like this. I’m awed. Vol. 3 of this show was just as brilliant as the first two. Some brilliant follow ups to beloved stories from Vol. 1 like The Duel while some others are completely new and bold stories like The Bird of the Paradise and Black. My only issue with this volume is that there are a few episodes that feel just a set up for a new story and not all of them hit as much as I wanted to. But overall, this is a strong series for Star Wars and I cannot wait for the upcoming The Ninth Jedi tv show. #9: Peacemaker I think the criticism that went to the second season of the show is perfectly valid since it pretty much ended with setting up James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow and the runtime was shorter than usual cuz Gunn was also doing Superman at the same time, so this season could have been polished better. Is it still a damn good TV? Well, I still had tons of fun. This season put Christopher Smith and his cast into a really unique journey. Making them confront their toxicity and flaws as well as their friendships. It was an especially impressive season for Chris who had to deal with who he was, where he came from and how he was comfortable living on a lie. I won’t say further than that but bless James Gunn for making me care about this messy team, making me laugh and also feel emotional towards them. And for good songs once more. Can’t wait to see where these characters’ journeys go from here. #8: Long Story Short I am sad that this show didn’t make waves like Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s other show BoJack Horseman did but I guess it’s because it looked like yet another animated family sitcom (and Netflix didn’t promote it well) but this show is absolutely worth it. It’s about a jewish family in different time periods and how life shaped their history. You get to see characters in their youth and in their old selves. It’s quite an experimental show dealing with non-linear storytelling and I just dug so much of it. Jokes hit, animation is pretty (different art style than BoJack but still quintessential Waksberg), emotional beats wreck you hard etc. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different in a typical family sitcom setting because it’s gonna be special and I can’t wait to see what season 2 has in store (hopefully it won’t be the last) #7: Smiling Friends Smiling Friends enter the top 10 tv list!!! This show boomed like hell and there is no stopping it. The show has become this generation’s The Simpsons, South Park, Bob’s Burgers etc. A high quality animated show with non-stop laughter and smiles! Something always catches people’s attention if it’s Creed as Mr. Frog’s dad, Mr. Boss and Allan cookie yaoi, Pim on a rampage and killing his friends, Glep’s insane backstory and the return of Squim. Smiling Friends is one of those shows that held SBC as a community together and I’m happy for its existence because of it. Here’s to more wacky seasons to this show. #6: Severance Praise Kier. Season 2 of this show hasn’t been holding it back at all. I’m a sucker for good sci-fi stories and this show is impressive in its way for being an intriguing sci-fi show that has something to say. Whether it’s the way cults operate in real life, capitalism making the working class’ lives a living hell, racism in the work environment, women’s bodies being used for experimentation without their consent and so on. A thought provoking show with great character development, intense thrills, chilling music and beautiful cinematography. AppleTV is rising up the ranks as the best streaming service with shows like this and I’m glad it has enough budget and creative freedom to be special. I don’t know when season 3 is gonna arrive but once it does, I’ll be seated. #5: Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake As many movie/tv show franchises have gone to nostalgia fest and slop for sake of it, Adventure Time is one of those exceptions that actually grows up with you as time goes on. It’s a franchise with fan service that actually drives the story and character arcs instead of being there for the sake of it, characters having issues without losing their character development and maturing as a process and expansion of the lore that doesn’t feel out of place. The second season of the show was an interesting and controversial time because many viewers felt Fionna was so unlikeable this season and it had pointless storylines and such until the last two eps supposedly saving the show and dare I say… People are so critical of flawed women characters without understanding what the character goes through, Fionna in this case. Missing the point that she is NOT Finn and that’s why she is so messy this season and I can’t lie, Fionna’s journey this season was very relatable for me because we set expectations on ourselves that ultimately disappoint us, make us hate ourselves and cause us to make more mistakes. That’s what Fionna dealt with which is why this season is among the best Adventure Time material and I ain’t being hyperbole and how this season ended for Fionna and her world, I was more than satisfied. I don’t know if we are gonna get a s3 but I’m glad Adventure Time is this rare franchise that still has juice. #4: Heated Rivalry No one could have seen it coming that a Canadian gay hockey show would be one of the biggest hits of 2025. It grew a fanbase even before the show premiered and once it was out to the world, it was all over social media with bunch of fanarts and edits, it’s insane. And it was so well deserved. Bless Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney for giving us an impressive hockey show that dealt with queer masculinity. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are THE TV couple of 2025 and definitely one of the best in this decade so far. They have great chemistry with each other and their sex scenes are hot and moving. As you get to see this pair go from fucking each other from time to time to committing an actual meaningful relationship, it’s beautiful. And giving us Scott Hunter and Kip Grady on top of it with their just as moving story. The show will make you horny but also make you cry and laugh. When so much media has become sexless and devoid of chemistry, Heated Rivalry comes and shows how it’s done. It was about time we had a popular queer media that isn’t making us suffer but instead celebrating queer joy. Of course it isn’t easy with this show as characters deal with homophobia and toxic masculinity in the sports industry but it pretty much rewards you at the end. I’m glad it is such a hit with season 2 on the horizon and made a huge impact on people’s lives. Go see it. #3: Andor We will never have a Star Wars story like Andor ever. Star Wars franchise has had ups and downs since Disney took over with the SW fanbase becoming more and more hostile as it went on. As a result, Lucasfilm leans more and more into memberberries, nowadays leaning into Clone Wars/Rebels nostalgia of it with mixed results but Andor is the best Star Wars media since the original trilogy. Tony Gilroy and his crew put heart and soul into a show about an underground movement. It’s mature, thought provoking and soul crushing. One of the bleakest looks at fascism. Cassian’s journey started from surviving in his life to being part of a revolutionary movement. Him alongside countless ordinary citizens in the galaxy far far away making a change and standing up for freedom and liberty, it’s inspiring in these current times with the ruling class oppressing us. Many franchises downplay the politics of the world and play a more centrist/liberal angle and Andor isn’t like that. At least by western media standards. I’m sure I said this in 2022 when I put Andor in my best TV of 2022 list but I’ll say it again. Never in my life I would have predicted a prequel show of a prequel movie about Cassian fucking Andor being one of my all-time favorite shows ever made. Thank you Diego Luna for your amazing performance and your well-written character and rest of the cast for being just as fabulous. Thank you Tony Gilroy and the crew for making me feel hopeful in these hopeless times. You guys played a gamble with the show and it paid off so well and it ended on a high note. Star Wars can still make great stories after all this but Andor is one in a lifetime experience that will never be recreated and I’ll never forget it. #2: The Pitt Yeah, I’m a predictable gay person. I saw raves about the show and I almost considered it but I felt that body close ups in hospitals would disturb me and gross me out, so I pretty much chickened out. When I saw a gay fanart of The Pitt, I was like “UGHHHH fine, I’ll watch this.” and I am glad to make that decision. Noah Wyle is a hot man, who can deny that but above all, this is a damn impressive show about Trauma Center. I’m a sucker for ensemble casts and The Pitt has some amazing characters. All of them, you get to know their experiences and their personalities and how they put so much of them into their work by saving people. The show can make you laugh with these characters’ interactions with each other but make no mistake, this show will crush you. I cried multiple times in season 1 and I was at my breaking point in episode 13 which was nervewrecking. Noah Wyle is one hell of an actor and he was so good in this show, I could praise him all day. While I get that over 10 episodes per season is too much to ask these days, getting a show with 15 episodes per season annually is nice to see. With so many stories we get out of larger than life characters these days, it’s good that we have stories about mundane people getting through every single day and The Pitt is exactly that. Not just doctors in the show but also patients we see here. You get to feel for them. It is something special and I can’t wait to see what’s more in store. #1: Pluribus Vince Gilligan said he doesn’t wanna be one trick pony and man, he proved himself right. Here’s a show completely different from Breaking Bad and yet still so Vince Gilligan at the core. Body invasion and hivemind concepts have been done in many movies and tv shows before but what makes Pluribus stand out is that it actually asks harder questions about individuality, culture and loneliness. What happens when the world is united under one mind and only a few people have their individuality left? What happens to people’s culture and practices when they are one? The show challenges its audience by making it seem normal and acceptable underneath all that gruesome facts. When the world we live in has become so desensitized to atrocities, it only makes sense that the show would make the joining feel so normal and uplifting when in reality, it’s a bleak situation. Stories often take a more black and white and less nuanced approach to the state of the world but in Pluribus’ case, it delves deeper into the core issues without being so in your face. This was the breakout role Rhea Seehorn needed after her brilliant performance in Better Call Saul and I’m glad this show has become a hit that she’ll be recognized by people further. Apple TV is doing something right by giving original shows a chance and Pluribus truly is this generation’s prestige tv show. Discussing the show weekly was great which is why more companies should take lessons from it. Engagement in stories matters. If people do not pay attention to the story, then you are doing something wrong. This show made me put so much thought, therefore engaging with it and hopefully it’s only gonna go bolder from here. With so much colorless and lifeless TV slop, Pluribus has beautiful colors and gorgeously shot cinematography. This show was the biggest reason why TV has become important to me this year. Do not sleep on it. And that's all. Thank you all for reading my rambling of these great shows throughout (almost) each year and hopefully 2026 will be even better. Take care.

Ahh the apocalypse. That thing that gets brought up every now and then and somehow no one got the correct date on when the world will end? Yeah, there are a lot. Most recently, someone predicted the world will end on September 23, 2025 and some TikTok freaks bought it and spread it everywhere but surprise, there is no “the end of the world”. But something is ending and that’s WhoBob time on this lit. Maybe he’ll come back to do guest episodes if he comes up with something? Time will tell but for now, enjoy the season finale, it’s about to end with a bang… Episode 40: What If… SBC Faced The Rapture? The Universe is Earth-▯ and it’s September 23, 2025. It was just a regular day on SBC when Clappy mentioned today was The Rapture Day and wanted SBC to celebrate. WhoBob was confused by what he meant. Kat told him that some TikTokers made the whole thing up, so he joked “we are finally being ascended!” After some shitposting shenanigans as usual from the server, what they didn’t know is that it was actually true. The Rapture has begun. Hawk: Uhhhhhhhhhhh, you guys need to check your windows. And the first thing they see is people floating up to the sky. And every SBCer active right now has become online to talk about it and what clicked was that they were left behind. All except… 4EverGreen: “Hello everyone!!! As you can see I’m floating up to heaven. I knew hating Teen Titans Go, Justin Bieber and Kooky Cooks would pay off. Maybe you all needed to hate them to ascend to heaven, piece of advice from me. Enough said, true believers!” Prez: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Does that mean we are all sinners? Maybe I shouldn’t have made #Cursed-Furry-Room to begin with.” WhoBob: “You guys turn on the news, it’s broadcasting all over the world.” And they all turned on their TV to pick any channel except Fox News obviously. And there is Danny Devito talking about what’s happening. Danny Devito: “Hello guys. You have known me as Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and some freaks know me as The Penguin from Tim Burton’s Batman movies. Just don’t mention my role as The Lorax or some certain YouTuber critic will go apeshit and I don’t want that attention. I have a confession to make, I am THE GOD.” Wumbo: “I TOLD YOU ALL, HE IS THE TRUE LORD!!!” Danny Devito: “Y’all may wanna know why you are left behind. Well that’s easy, that’s because you all either sinned or spent too much time talking about a yellow kitchen sponge. One person who is a fan of that at least made sure he hated the right episode to enter Heaven, no backsies. I will say that I made no discrimination between anyone’s religion or beliefs. Don’t believe in those Evangelical Christian dumbasses, they were also left behind! If you did good deeds or didn’t watch that show, you can enter Heaven. So anyways, I started blasting people to heaven and you guys have no idea what’s about to happen. Jesus is coming back for real this time, although some of you may know him as someone else. When he discovers his true self, he’ll battle the son of Satan known as the Anti-Christ for 7 years. Anyone who can make it out alive, good luck!!! I’ll keep acting in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, now broadcasting Wednesdays on Heaven and on FXX, next day on Hulu.” jjs: “So we have no choice but to regroup to find Jesus, so he can rapture us to Heaven. Who’s with me?!” Everyone on SBC agreed and they decided to regroup in Wyoming, the place that doesn’t exist. Some members paid handsomely to smuggle WhoBob from Turkey and Kieran and Patty from the UK whereas Canadian members travelled to the USA easily because Donald Trump and his goonies alongside Democrats escaped to their bunkers to avoid the war, such pussies. As they all came together in the place that doesn’t exist, jjs had a confession to make. jjs: “I actually know who Jesus Christ is in disguise.” Kat: “Spill.” jjs: “It’s…Keanu Reeves, I found him through our mutual friend Tommy Wiseau.” Cha: “What are we waiting for? Let’s find him!” They found Keanu Reeves as he lives in his Reddit Gold tower. Somehow no one noticed it but it’s on them. SBCers made an appointment and they were called to the top floor where they’d eventually meet Keanu “Christ” Reeves. Keanu Reeves: “Hello my children! People keep asking if Jesus is back. And I haven’t had an answer but now yeah, I’m thinking I’m back!!!” Clappy: “Hello son of Danny Devito, we wanted to tell you that there has been a mistake and we wanted to know if you could rapture us.” Keanu Reeves: “I can send you up to Heaven if you do one job for me.” WhoBob: “Please Hz. İsa, we can do anything!” Keanu Reeves: “Find the Anti-Christ for me, then kill him. Then I’ll give you your ascension." Fred: “But I thought you’d battle Anti-Christ in the war.” Keanu Reeves: “Don’t make me laugh, Anti-Christ is too much of a coward to show up to his own war. I’ll be battling his demon army but until then, find him and bring me his head.” Kylie: “Who is it then?” Keanu Reeves: “Someone you’ll recognize immediately. He’s another actor with long hair like me except he is corrupt and maybe a musician in a band. Be careful. I’ll send you down, so don’t freak out. Teleportation is easier than traveling in subways. Goodbye!” So now all SBCers are in front of the building, unaware of where their journey will take them but they know they’ll stick together no matter what. 7 YEARS LATER... The war has consumed everything. Many people are dead from the epic battle between Heaven and Hell. WhoBob was the first to fall because he was busy writing comic books for Marvel and Anti-Christ’s army blew the building to the ground. No one will know If he finished his Spider-Man And Human Torch homoerotic miniseries. SBCers are scattered into two groups throughout the wasteland that is the USA. Carottecord members and SBCcord members. Carottecord members are now bounty hunters making a quick buck, so they can get as much money as they can find to pay the guy who knows about Anti-Christ’s whereabouts. Winter: “Who would have thought the world ended but capitalism remained intact? This must be a truly evil world.” Klu: “I don’t know about you but I could use some food since we are running out.” Rick: “We have to do this one last job, so we can get the information and then we can eat. Pray to Old Man Patrick as he is our actual God in the night, and Danny Devito is ours in the day.” Honest Slug: “That is confusing but I suppose God has many shapes and forms.” They went to a bar called Hornytown, so they can find their bounty there. BOB-E: “AAAAAAAAAA BOUNTY HUNTERS. DON’T LOOK TOO DEEPLY ON WHAT WE SERVE. I DEFINITELY DO NOT SERVE MILK HERE. OMNI KNOWS IT.” Omni: “compels BOB-E to confirm” BOB-E: “YESSSS, NO EYEYING.” Ray: “:Bob:” (Writer’s note: It’s an emoji that looks like a Nokia) BOB-E: “CRASH STOP” CakeCup: “We are here to collect the bounty, spare us your horny thoughts, phone.” BOB-E: “I SWEAR IT’S NOT ME WHO YOU LOOK FOR…” Carotte: “Actually it is. We are taking you to Horny Jail. Good thing you didn’t kill anyone.” BOB-E: “OMNI WILL PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING.” Omni: “I’ll give you for free.” BOB-E: “REALLY?” Omni then gives a thumbs up and Bob’s pants explode and after his post nut clarity, they take him to Horny Jail and get rewarded for it. BOB-E: “I CAN’T BELIEVE OMNI WOULD DO ME LIKE THIS.” As a twist, women of Hornytown, including Omni, runs Horrny Jail. BOB-E: “OMNI-E. I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DOUBLE CROSS ME LIKE THAT. LADIES, YOU SAW NOTHING.” Taedia: “We see all.” BOB-E: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” Then Allista paid Carottecord members their reward and they got all the money to pay the informer. And as a twist, the informer turns out to be none other than… JACKIE CHAN, FORMER GOD OF SBC. Jackie Chan: “Hello you guys. As you can see I’m not an actual God, I was pretending for a while for the joy of it but now it’s not funny anymore.” Jaic: “We can tell, here’s your money. Tell us who is the Anti-Christ.” Jackie Chan: “Well, you see the Anti-Christ is… OH SHIT LOOK OUT, IT’S THIRTY SECONDS OF MARS!!!” Then all of a sudden, the crew members of Thirty Seconds to Mars have arrived to execute Jackie Chan, although they had different outfits to make them unnoticeable. Carottecord battled them hard but it was too late as they struck Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan: “Man, I hope they stream Jackie Chan Adventures in Hell. I actually have no clue who has the streaming rights.” As Thirty Seconds to Mars attacked Carottecord to get rid of the evidence, they had a revelation. They were actually Horsemen of the Apocalypse. All but one who is actually the key to their answer. ANTI-CHRIST WAS NONE OTHER THAN JARED LETO HIMSELF!!! So they managed to battle them to the end (it lasted 11 minutes…), leaving them dead on the floor but it was too late for Carottecord members, they were all covered in their blood, all but OBAB. OBAB: “Oh god, you guys are bleeding. I’ll help you guys whatever way I can!” Appy: “It’s too late, you have to send this information to the rest of SBC so they can finish off Jared Leto.” Mandy: “Go now, OBAB. You are our only hope." OBAB: “I love you guys.” As OBAB departed, the rest of Carottecord questioned what’s next. Salmon: “What’s gonna happen to us now?” Fletcher: “I don’t know but we have to pray this will go in our way. It’s night, PRAY TO OLD MAN PATRICK”. Dman: “Amen to that!” Mythix: “I’m glad I’m doing my last breath with my friends, it’s been an honor.” As they prayed to Old Man Patrick, they didn’t realize that they were raptured and they were sent to Heaven, living the eternity in their own Heaven group. They would talk about SpongeChovy, calm and relaxed season 8 of SpongeBob, cartoons and much much more. OBAB sends this information to the remaining SBCers on Petoria and when you see their face, you can tell they are not so shocked. And they knew where Jared Leto would be, his private island. As 7 years go by, Hawk became the top pilot in the world, secretly carrying SBC members to the private island. Hawk: “Alright, you guys. This is where I drop you all off. I hope you can kick that nasty freak’s ass good.” Zaid: “You can count on us, Hawk! And I just gotta say, thanks for all our adventures in SpongeCraft. Hawk: “I had a blast, I hope when this is over, we can all go to Heaven and build our own SpongeCraft.” sbl: “Spoken like a true hawk.” Hawk drops them off as they are falling into their final quest to end Jared Leto. As they all were about to open their parachutes, CDCB was unable to open. CDCB: “OH GOD, OH GOD I’M GONNA DIE, I AM GONNA FUCKING DIE!!!” And then Trophy opened CDCB’s parachute, saving him from dying. Trophy: “Don’t go cold on us, man. We have a job to do so we can collect our award.” They landed safely on the island without anyone noticing. Kevin: “Alright hoes, time to kill that bitch.” They secretly looked around the island to find Jared Leto. SBCers all had spy training courtesy of Kieran and Patty and their “The Ariel and Amy School of Spies." BenPaz: “You guys, I found where Jared Leto is now. He is singing songs with these robot women inside this hotel, this is so freaky.” Izzy: “Alright, I’m gonna create a distraction, so you guys can deal with the robots.” Izzy then threw a bunch of rocks at the windows of other hotel rooms. As a result, Jared Leto heard the noises and started investigating. TJ: “The coast is clear.” Ex in command: “You know what to do. Your usual trick, OWM.” OWM jumped through the open window and started yelling.” OWM: “I AM THE OPEN WINDOW MANIAC and you are watching Disney Channel.” All the robot women screamed and escaped the building. Nugs: “Huh, I expected them to fight us but I’ll take this instead.” Rest of SBCers entered the room and find places to hide, so they can kill Jared Leto unguarded but what they didn’t anticipate was that Jared Leto put a booby trap. This opened a trap door that led to their downfall. Before they fell into the huge spikes, Meep used her magnets to toss SBCers into the walls. Meep: “There you go, that should stop us from falling.” Dark: “CLIMB UP NOW!” They all managed to climb but unfortunately Jared Leto found them. Jared Leto: “HAHAHAHAHA, I FOUND YOU ALL GOOD. AND THE PERSON WHO BROKE ALL MY WINDOWS. You will pay for those eventually.” Crush: “Sorry but we ran out of money, maybe we’ll give you an I.O.U.” Jared Leto: “Okay smart guy, you are the one to fall first. In fact you all will fall unless you beat me with this game.” Fa: “What kinda game?” Jared Leto: “A game called… THE WHEEL OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS!!!” Sophlez: “wat” And then a real life Wheel of Enormous Proportions emerged, making the remaining SBCers to join. Prez: “WOOHOO, I mean we’ll beat your ass.” jjs: “Perhaps Dman was spared from all this.” Jared Leto: “LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!” They started playing it with the wheel asking a bunch of trivia questions. They all did a good job, but so did Jared Leto, though that’s because he has a telepathic device on his head that allows him to cheat by looking into the wheel’s mind. They kept spinning the wheel and playing trivia over and over but Jared Leto had the highest score, so it was time for him to spin the last wheel. jjs: “We are so fucked if he wins.” Before Jared Leto started spinning the last wheel, Katie decided to kick Jared Leto and caused him to fall. Katie: “TAKE THAT MOTHERFUCKER!”. Out of sudden, JCM emerged out of nowhere for his last cameo, stole Jared Leto’s place and spun the wheel and won the game. JCM: “What the fuck, why am I in this post-apocalyptic What If episode?” Wheel thanked them for playing the game and Jared Leto’s question was answered. Jared Leto’s question was: “Is it Morbin’ time?” Wheel: “It is morbin’ time, morbin’ you to DIE!” Wheel electrocuted Jared Leto to death. Steel: “I honestly didn’t expect it’d go down like this but then again, what can you do, if at all?” jjs called Keanu Reeves through the camera. Keanu Reeves: “Is the job done?” jjs showed him the corpse of Jared Leto and said: “It’s over, we won.” Jared Leto was sent to Hell for eternity. And for the final twist, he was sent to a special hell with his dad, the real Satan, DOUG FORD. Doug Ford: “I’m done with you yahoo.” Jared Leto: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” Jared Leto spent the rest of his eternity, eating Doug Ford’s delicious Cherry Cheese Cakes but unlike Homer’s donut hell, Jared Leto did not enjoy one bit. We cut back to Earth and Keanu Reeves congratulated them for their job, so he raptured them to Heaven. OMJ: “Thanks for the ascension, kind stranger.” And we finally see all of SBCers (as well as all non-SBC Carottecord and Hornytown residents, yes even BOB-E) in Heaven, reunited once more as they celebrate their reward and their reward is being a family forever. WhoBob: “I’m so glad you guys made it, too bad my Marvel job went nowhere but we can all be here together from now on. SBC, Carottecord, Hornytown. The Clarinet Trio, all in harmony. In fact, I have a special surprise for you guys.” Then for the final revelation, WhaleBlubber showed his face. WhaleBlubber: “YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET RID OF ME THIS EASILY?

Sooo... It's been 4 years. And I really gotta stop promising so much cuz I end up either not committing to them or commit and then never finish them (not that this project required an endpoint since each story is meant to be seperate). Why are we here then? Well I have been brainstorming ideas on my brain for a while cuz I like stories and being part of one compels me but I realize now that I gotta stop letting these ideas be in my head and then forget about them the next day. Therefore I'm reviving this project and I can't promise whether I'll commit to it or not but at the very least, I can make one story on top of my head right now. So welcome to... WHOBOB'S ASTONISHING TALES Starting off this episode with a really scary Halloween tale. I kinda goofed off thinking that this year's Octerror Fest's creator challenge is no longer Scary Story Contest (that's all on me cuz I forget things easily) but this idea got into my head and now I gotta write it. Enjoy this tale. The Man Who Murdered Me It's October 31, 2025 and it's a Halloween night but Halloween isn't an official holiday in Turkey. Although that doesn't stop some citizens of Turkey from celebrating it in their own way. The couple Mahmut and Ersin are passionate about Halloween because of horror movies they watch with each other and loving the spirit of it. So they decide to go to their favorite gay club in town to join a Halloween party. Mahmut dresses up like John Constantine (and it helps him get into the character because he cannot stop smoking) and Ersin dress up like Mister Sinister (because he loves queening out while being an evil scientist, don't get him near X-Men). Mahmut: "Come on honey, we are gonna be late for the party!" Ersin: "Yeah, yeah you don't have to yell at me. I'm ready." Mahmut: "You look very sexy in that costume, I gotta admit." Ersin: "Thank you babe but let's not forget to not drink too much at the party because you know how we can get it carried away. At least one of us has to be sober enough to find our way home in the middle of the night." Mahmut: "No problem, perhaps I can drink non-alcoholic beverage after taking a few shots." Ersin: "Promise me. There is a rumor going around in this town that there is a serial killer out in the loose and he targets queer men." Mahmut: "I promise we'll keep ourselves in check for our safety. No need to worry however. If anything happens to us, I'll make sure whoever hurt us gets what they deserve. One time I went to a fortune teller and they told me that my spirit will keep us in check in the time of a crisis." Ersin: "Yeah, maybe don't believe whatever they said. They tend to be con artists." Mahmut: "Come on, babe. Live a little!" They decide to go to the Halloween party and to hit the theme, everyone in the party decide to dress up like characters from modern pop culture who are canonically queer or subtextually queer. There are bunch of characters people dress up as, whether that's from Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Our Flag Means Death, BBC Sherlock, Star Wars etc. Mahmut: "Man, this place is packed!" Ersin: "Indeed, I wouldn't mind scoring some guys from here." Mahmut: "Always the horny mind with you." Ersin: "You gotta admit it, you are into me sleeping with other guys." Mahmut: "I sure do!" So they go for couple of drinks and dance hard on the floor, flirt with some guys and kiss them. Everything goes well until they go overboard with drinking. Some strong shots and viskis really turn their heads upside down. Ersin crashes as a result and Mahmut gets infuriated by it. "Babe, you told us not to get overboard and you didn't follow your own advice! Then again I didn't commit to my promise as well and here I am wasted as fuck." Mahmut tries so hard to wake Ersin up but it's no use. In his drunken state of mind, he goes to the bathroom but ominously, someone decides to stalk him. Mahmut jerks off in the bathroom for couple of minutes to relive himself and when he finishes up, he cleans himself and tries to sober up. "Man, It's really hard to get concentrated with this many drinks. I need to lift my boyfriend up and go back home." The man that follows him comes close to Mahmut, stares at him and Mahmut decides to flirt with him. Mahmut: "Hey there cutie, what'cha looking at?" The man: "Oh nothing, I just wanted to tell you that your boyfriend woke up and left the place without you, isn't that bad?" Mahmut: "No way! He'd never do something like this." The man: "Oh yeah? Then look into the chair he sat on with me." They go out of the bathroom and find out Ersin isn't there at all. Mahmut: "God dammit, that bastard. Leaving me stranded while I'm drunk. How am I supposed to go back home now?" The man: "Don't worry, I have a car, I'll take you directly to your home." Mahmut: "That'd be delightful. Thanks." So Mahmut and the man leave the party and what Mahmut doesn't realize is that Ersin woke up after they went to the bathroom, looking for him and the man knew it because he woke him up, telling him that his boyfriend is out there somewhere, so Ersin was looking into the huge crowd to find him before the man decided to follow Mahmut. Then Mahmut and the man enter the car and Mahmut thanks him for a pick up. Mahmut: "I couldn't have gone home without you, bro. I know I shouldn't have gone overboard with drinks but I couldn't help myself." The man: "No worries, I'll make you sober up while we are on our way." Then the man injects Mahmut with a sedative and Mahmut goes to sleep. The man: "I gotchu now." The man takes Mahmut to his house while he's unconsicous. He doesn't realize how heavy Mahmut was but he keeps trying to get him to his basement. The man: "Carrying a guy can surely be exhausting but it's useful for my operation." They enter the basement and it's filled with magical artifacts and potions. He takes Mahmut to the table, takes his knife and starts to butcher him. One by one, he cuts off his body without Mahmut feeling it. When butchering is complete, he starts burning the body parts to turn them into ashes. The man: "This will hopefully help me with the longevity I crave for. Other attempts were frankly failures. If this doesn't work out, I'll think of other methods." Meanwhile, during Mahmut and the man leaving the scenery, Ersin becomes worried that he cannot find his lover while he's drunk, so he asks the bartender Adem If he saw him. Ersin: "Hey man, you have known me and Mahmut for a while now. Is there a chance you saw him leaving?" Adem: "Yeah, I saw him be carried by some other fellow. I thought he was with you two since you guys love mingling with people here." Ersin: "Fuck, fuck, fuck. How do I find him?" Adem: "Hold on, let me check the camera records while you try to sober up." Adem decides to look into the records and gets the man's license plate. Ersin: "Did you find a clue?" Adem: "Yeah, I found the license plate. I have seen this car coming here come and go but I have been noticing lack of familiar faces here, that may be related to the serial killer people have been talking about." Ersin: "Oh god, we gotta do something." Adem: "Let's go to the police station and see what they can do." Ersin: "Don't be silly, they won't be any help to us." Adem: "We gotta start somewhere." Ersin: "Alright fine, let's go to the police station." As they are on their way to the police, the man chants some magical words to put spell on the ashes of Mahmut, so he can make a potion out of them and drink it to gain longevity. But what the man realizes that there is a spirit lurking in the shadows, whispering to his ears. The man: "Who is there? Show yourself this instant." And out of a sudden, the knife starts floating and attacks the man. The man: "What's going on? Did I do something wrong in the process?" Whispers have gotten stronger. "You did that, alright." The man goes out of the basement and locks the door. The man: "That was intense. I couldn't have predicted that." Ersin and Adem goes to the police office and unfortunately neither got a good result out of it. Ersin sulks so hard. Ersin: "What are we going to do? We are out of our options!" Adem: "Don't give up! There has to be some way to get your man." While they are talking, the man tries to figure out what just happened. The man: "I couldn't have possibly awaken something, right?" As he talks to himself, the pictures on his frames start coming to life, each turn into victims he has killed. "YOU MURDERED US." "YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR SOUL!" "We'll not let you go." The man tries to leave his house but the front door disappears. "YOU WILL PAY, YOU WILL PAY!!!" The man screams hard, goes into his bedroom and locks the door. And then we cut back to Ersin and Adem. Ersin: "I'm just angry at myself, man. I know If I didn't drink too much, I wouldn't have crashed out and Mahmut would still be here." Adem: "I don't know what to say but I know that losing your loved one can be tough. Hopefully we can find a way to save him before it's too late." Ersin: "I just feel deep down that we might be too late." Then suddenly Ersin feels a connection, calling out to him. "Come find me, lover." Adem: "You went silent for a minute, is there something wrong?" Ersin: "I think I know where Mahmut is." The noises in the man's house have risen up, tormenting him hard. The man: "You don't understand!!! Death scares me as hell, I lost my only relative to cancer when I was child. It gets me thinking how little time I might have left, I had to do something!" Then Mahmut's ghost emerges and screams at him. "WHAT ABOUT THE LIVES YOU HAVE TAKEN? DIDN'T THEY DESERVE TO LIVE? YOU SELFISH LITTLE PRICK!" All of a sudden, the floor shatters and the man sees the pit of agony and torment. The man: "PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE UP FOR IT. ANYTHING!" Mahmut: "ONLY IF YOU SUBMIT YOUR BODY TO ME!" The man: "What do I get in return?" Mahmut: "What you seek!" So Mahmut takes the man's body and removes his soul from the body. In a grotesque fashion, the man's body turns into Mahmut's own body while the man gets turned into a magically made gem, forever trapped in there for eternity. And other souls get closure for the revenge Mahmut inflicted on him. Leaving the world behind for a better one. Ersin and Adem drive around in the neighborhood and Ersin find a connection in the street the man lives in. Then suddenly Ersin finds the car outside the house. Adem and him leave the car, enter the building with brute force and sees Mahmut standing there with the gem. Ersin goes up to him, hugs him and kisses him. "What happened, babe? How did you survive?" Mahmut: "Well I told you the fortune teller was right. I was killed by the serial killer you talked about, body sliced into pieces, burnt into ashes. What kept me going was my love for you and how I knew I needed to survive to go back to you. I'm glad you heard me and found me." Then Mahmut shows Ersin the gem the man is trapped in. Ersin: "Wait, is this the killer? I seriously have no idea what the fuck just went on and what caused all this." Mahmut: "I trapped him into this gem, so he cannot hurt anyone else ever again." Ersin: "That's the bitch deserves for after all. Sorry for not following up on my promise, got too drunk and crashed out and I didn't know you were gone." Mahmut: "It's alright. I made that mistake too. But it sure as hell was a wild night after all. Halloween am I right?" Ersin: "I'm just glad you are alive." Adem: "Indeed, let's get out of here and never come back again." What Mahmut and Ersin don't fully realize that fortune teller put a spell on Mahmut to ensure his safety. She foresaw the danger they'd be getting into and she decided to turn this opportunity into saving them and getting justice for all the killings. Mahmut and Ersin head back home and they invite Adem to stay with them for the night. Mahmut and Ersin found a peaceful resolution after all this and it's that their love is powerful enough to keep each other alive and Adem found a new company with them. It was seriously a crazy Halloween night. THE END.

Thank god no Dubai Chocolate is among options.
