Debate This!

Every character has an origin story. Maybe they have fallen into a vat of radioactive eels, fallen into a pit of radioactive sand, fallen into a vat of mind-twisting chemicals, fallen into a mess of hazardous materials, or fallen into a lightning bolt that struck a bunnch of chemicals and somehow created the speedforce, every character has an origin story. Today's FLAVOR TEXT takes time to dive into the nerdy origin story of each co-host of Debate This! Come along with us as we discuss the games that made us, the nerd franchises that critically impacted our personalities well into our adult years, and how none of our origins involve falling into anything unless you count falling into the depression caused by the post-2008 job market. Special thanks to the only blood relative of this podcast who supports the fruits of our efforts and also isn't Matt's mom, "Dr. Garlicbutter," for commissioning this introspective dive into our own nerdy backstories.

As children of the 90s and 2000s, Millenials are intimately familiar with the concept of "Edutainment." In an attempt to meet the kids where they were, educators tried their hardest to develop games where the real plot was the lessons we learned along the way. Weirdly, around the same time, video games got real gray and gritty. Wouldn't it be wild if you smashed those two concepts together? Wouldn't it? Andrew unlocks the vault of controversial video games and pulls Postal 2 from its depths. Todd checks the Sonic box and makes sure we all know what our hedgehog personas look like. Kyle makes us all very uncomfortable as we explore religious trauma together. What more could you possibly want when we ask, "What gritty game would make the best Edutainment game?"

You enter a room, extinguished candles smolder upon sconces that fill the dark alcoves all around you. Your vision is limited unless you have darkvision. Do any of you have darkvision? Oh you do? Oh you all do? Never mind, you see everything just fine but in greyscale. Also, the door was actually a mimic. The carpet is a mimic too. Roll initiative. We gather in this nameless tavern today to dive into the history, deep lore, and fun knowledge bits of Dungeons & Dragons. Join us as we discuss the origin of the world's greatest roleplaying game, the differences in prior editions, a discussion into just how fantastic of a character the Raven Queen is, and ending with a fun game of "Is it a D&D Adventure Module or is it a Quest from a Video Game?"

"I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!" said the Spooktacular Express as we willed it deeper into November for one more stop! We're wrapping up our Halloween-themed journey with a fan-favorite tradition, Creepypasta Story Time. If this is your first time seeing one of our Creepypasta episodes in your feed, please allow me to explain. Creepypastas are spooky internet stories. Some are good, some are bad, some are just absolutely bananas. Every scary season, the DT! guys sit around a digital zoom campfire and tell each other these stories, for better or for worse! This year, Andrew tells us the horrors of retro tech, Todd gives us a cult warning, and Matt talks about comics. Keep scrolling to find links to these stories near the bottom of the shownotes! Because we have extended the Spooktacular Express, so too have we extended the Spooktacular Bonus! You have until November 15th to slap the roof of these sweet deals!

Happy Halloween if you're to the left of the Eastern Time Zone and happy November first to the rest of you! This is typically the last stop on the Spooktacular Express, but as you'll hear in this episode, we're exteding the spookems for a few extra weeks. Last Halloween we recorded a very special DnD one-shot episode that transported us to Minnesota to fight through a zombie apocalypse! That spooky adventure has been locked behind our Patreon paywall for a year, but much like an infectious zombie virus, it escaped! Even if you're not an avid listener of our actual-play show The Office Drones, or actual-play podcasts in general, we promise this episode will be worth the listen just to hear how the DT! guys handle the end of the world. Imgur Album of all the incredibly-specific pictures of Baudette, MN and surrounding areas: https://imgur.com/a/JMrcy6Z A very special thanks to Bella of The Stephen Queens Podcast for lending her voice talents to us in this episode! The Stephen Queens Podcast is a very rad show on a journey to find female-approved horror films. If you're a fan of horror like Matt is, he recommends this show personally!

As the Spooktacular Express pulls out of its final Rainforest Cafe for the year, the DT! crew wanted to take time to reflect on the journeys we taken together and the friends we made along the way--exclusively related to our Patreon-exclusive D&D real-play podcast, The Office Drones! That's right, it's time for a clip show, baybee. Continuing the tradition of last year's supercut of the first five episodes and the introductory Episode 0, please enjoy this second Director's Cut version of the Marketing arc, which represents Episodes 6-10. If you don't know what this is and a D&D real-play podcast featuring real-life office employees fighting D&D monsters with JIRA tickets and HR benefits summaries sounds like nonsense, then check out the first of this Director's Cut series originally uploaded in November 2021 titled "The Office Drones DX: Book 1." And, if you like this and want to hear more, please consider subscribing to our Patreon at $5/month for access to all current and backlogged episodes of the show! Special thanks to Tom Zalatnai for guesting on these episodes a whole two years ago!

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express week 3 and we're getting High Concept. There aren't many better (betterier?) ways to celebrate spooky season than curling up with your boo for a scary slasher flick. We've produced plenty of movies here at DT!HQ but none of them have been slashers. Opportunity knocked and we answered with web-based, stick figure-centric, flash game-inspired pitches to decide which flash game would make the best kitschy slasher movie! Todd comes in strong but it doesn't take long for him to pizza himself into a bad time. Matt has a bone to pick with 2001's Donnie Darko. Kyle sets a new record for longest walk on shortest pier which, on this show, is honestly the most impressive thing. We made a lot of new friends this weekend at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo! If you're one of those new friends, welcome! Also, the show notes keep going, keep scrolling.

In September 1998, the U.S. was introduced to the franchise that would soon become a worldwide phenomenon: Pokémon. After only 18 months, Pokémon was everywhere--on TV, in car CD players, in school cafeterias, and on kids' backpacks and bedsheets. You couldn't walk 5 feet inside a Kmart and not see something with Pikachu's likeness on it. How did this come about? Why, all of a sudden, was every child aged 7-14 suddenly screaming for their parents in to buy them booster pack upon booster pack of Pokémon cards in the summer of 1999? And, why oh God why is there a Pokémon Christmas album? Find out the answers to all these questions and more on our deep dive into the late 90s cultural phenomenon that was Pokémania.

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express time y'all! Gear up for our month-long, Halloween-themed content adventure as we bored the train for a mythical mall in Colorado. We may not have an almost-zombie daughter, a goblin mask, or a bunch of NPCs to escort to the safe room, but we're still talking Dead Rising. It's time to slay some zombies because this week we're trying to make the best combo weapon with a video game item and a real world thing! (Keep scrolling for some Spooktacular Patreon Info) Andrew is on the defensive this week. Kyle may not understand how carpet works.

Picture this. You've dedicated hundreds of your limited hours of existence exclusively to The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild. You've cleaned out every one of the 120 shrines, you've maxed out your health and stamina, and you've found the most rare and powerful weapons. Moreover, you've explored every inch of the map and have literally overturned each and every stone in order to find all 900 Korok seeds--most of which didn't even provide material gain. But, you did it. You have done all of the things and have seen all the stuff. As you nab that 900th Korok seed, you breath a sigh of relief, saying quietly to yourself: "It's over." Triumphantly, you rush to the NPC character who originally set you off on this quest, wondering to yourself what kind of reward could possibly be in store? Maybe some super cool armor or overpowered weapon? Maybe an extra shrine or dungeon or something? You eagerly wait for the Korok's fun and silly dance to conclude, soberly aware this will be the last time you may ever see this dance because you are definitely never going to do this again. The Korok leader tells you "here is your reward", and you get the new item prompt--only to show that you've just been handed a golden piece of poop. That's right. You combed the vast expanse of the Hyrule wastes in order to find all these dang Korok seeds just to receive a big ol' turd. You shrug a bit and ask yourself, "OK, what's next?" What makes people compulsively explore every corner and check every box in a video game? Why do we always feel like we -have- to get all the achievements and get all the collectables to see the TRUE ending? Today, we explore that innate desire to 100% video games.

After nearly five full years, all four Debaters are actually in the same room for an episode! As a podcast that records almost exclusively remote, this was a lot of fun, but also we didn't have the best equipment for it! So with that in mind, please forgive us if the audio sounds a little different than normal. To distract you from any changes in audio quality, we decided to talk about Fortnite! Join us as we try to appease Elder God Kevin Feige and answer the question, "Which MCU character should be the focus of the next Fortnite Battle Pass?" Matt decided to talk about everyone's favorite Phase 4 film and the giant statue it introduced us to. Todd talks about a character no one even knows but definitely isn't in the MCU. Kyle's answer involves Marvel's first family and it strangely reminds us all of spaghetti.

A space marine gets marooned on a distant planet after a catastrophic spacecraft explosion and discovers a weapon based on ancient alien technology that has the ability to decimate planets. Together with his new A.I. buddy, this physically enhanced "super soldier" races against an army of space zealots to secure control of the superweapon. No, we already *did* Halo. This is Titanfall, and it's totally different because it leads in to the real "combat evolved"...the Mad Max-esque bloodsport that is Apex Legends! Soldiers, murderers, mercenaries, thieves, and friendly robots alike emerge from across the universe to compete in a 30th-century gladiator-like arena, full of guns, explosions, and--most importantly--a whole lot of cooldowns.

This season of Debate This! has braved the waters of some uncomfortable topics, but today we venture to truly uncharted seas. Lace up your shoes, strap on your pads, and do other sports related things because today we're talking IRL sports! Now we're not here for your Maddens or your 2s-K, we're here for Chaos and we want it in the Windy City. Today we embark on a journey which asks, "Which athlete should star in their own non-sports game?" We asked Kyle to talk about sports and he told us about donut history. Todd takes a page from the WKRP in Cincinnati book. Andrew, to no surprise, is bringing us to the year 20XX. Obviously we needed someone on this podcast who actually understands sports, so we drafted Young Deuces of the Geekset podcast (@Young_Deuces on Twitter) to lead our team to our franchise-first championship.

Is there a cultural touchstone that has been as wildly touched as MTV's "Making the Band?" Probably! But, to continue our season of ripping ideas straight from Music Television, we're pulling a Diddy and crafting the next musical supergroup. Plenty of characters have touched an instrument throughout the history of video games and that's the only requirement for them to be considered for our bands! So grab your headphones, crank your tunes, and jam out with us as we decide which video game characters should form a band! If Dream Theater and Tool are your speed, then Todd's band will be for you. Maybe you prefer the stomping and clapping of Florence + The Machine or Mumford & Sons. If that's your vibe, then you can get tickets to Kyle's band! And then there's Matt's band.

"Oh boy, here come those dang investors again. They just won't STOP asking us to pitch them new mashups of old videogames. And it's like their asks are getting more and more hacky and uninspired each time...like, this week they just screamed 'Make NPCs a protagonist!' and then sat there, nearly frozen in place." is what we wrote in our shownotes on May 4th of 2021. Well here we are fourteen months later and hot dog we're going again! This time we ask literally the exact same question as last time, "What NPC deserves to be the protagonist in their own game? Kyle reflects on his Barista-Era and brings an old friend from Animal Crossing to the table. Matt picked one bit this week and boy does he lean into it. Andrew takes us all on a weird, horny adventure and, you guessed it, everyone disliked that. Recommended reading: Want to listen to our first run at this prompt?

Yes, indeed. In the Age of Internet Video the world of Content Creation was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of dancing babies, epic meals, and Star Wars kids. But then there was Podcasting and with Podcasting came disparity. De-monetization and ad revenue, Copyright strikes and brand deals. Then from the dark, they came, and found of the Sponsorships of Lords within the code. Quibi, the First of the Dead. Best Fiends and their daughters of Chaos, spelled like "friends" without the "r". Blue Apron, the Lord of Sunlight, and their faithful knights Butcher Box and Hello Fresh. Thus began the Age of Podcasting. But soon, the ad revenue will fade and only Content will remain.

CONTENT WARNING: at 1 hour 38 minutes we discuss sexual assault in comic books. Last year we discussed Social Justice in Comics (Season 4, Episode 21) which covered an entire spectrum of social justice issues that comics sometimes handled alright, but often times missed the mark. This week, thanks to continued support of Patrons like Sharkbait, we're dialing in to focus on Gender in Comics. Join us today as we talk demographics, representation, and the artists behind the characters. If you hadn't become familiarized with the terrible history of "fridging" then you will be after today.

Wouldn't it be wild if we remade a 2000s-era reality show but made it about comics characters? Wouldn't that be nuts? We definitely haven't done that before! The bit this week is all about giving supervillains a shot at redemption. Andrew learned an awful lot about Bane, Todd is all hopped up on sketchy science, and Kyle brings up police reform as well all groan about it. We're looking to create the best "Supervillain Road to Recovery Special," but we needed some help. Lucky for us, Justin Jordan (@freddiesroomate on TikTok) was free for the evening and he knows way more about comics than us.

It's been a few years since the last time we remixed Pokémon gyms, but a particular question from our 100th episode put us back in that mind space. Turns out most of us also have deep trauma related to our own experiences with college internships. Who knew? So this week, we're examining the horrific truths of Pokémon's one-note minibosses by asking, "Which gym leader would host the worst college internship?" Matt explains the internship experience that at least 50% of interns have. Todd proves to us why a Communications degree is worth it. Oh, and Kyle gets sticky. Like, really sticky.

Well here we are folks, four years later we stand at the precipice of our 100th episode! Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you hopped on the train somewhere along the way, we wouldn't have made it this far without you. To thank you for your support, we've put together this centennial special of insanity. The proverbial rulebook has been thrown out the proverbial window in favor of a brain-meltingly meta episode where we ask each other, "What is the best possible 'Debate This!' episode?" Is it your first time listening to our podcast? Cool! I'm glad you're here and I like you a little more than everyone else. That said, this may not be the best episode to start with because it's pretty self-referential. May I suggest going back a week and checking out Ep 99: Who Puppets the Muppets? It pairs well with a boxed white zinfandel. Recommended reading: We referred to a lot of episodes in this episode! They're listed and linked in chronological order at the bottom of the shownotes.

Join us as we discuss the universe-changing miniseries that DC used to launch their New 52 storylines.

Have you put chocolate in your peanut butter lately? Well we here at DT!HQ want to make sure you've gotten your regular dose of mashup content! The buzzwords of the week are "Comic Book Movies" and "Muppets." So what comic arc would make the best Muppets movie? Only time and 75 minutes of nostalgic vocal impressions will tell! Wildly enough, Matt has never seen a Muppets, so he opted to go for something familiar. Todd knows the quick way to success is through the toy market and he leans into it.

It sure feels weird to release an episode about summer road trips on a day after it snows, but we don't control the weather! Today we're pivoting DT!HQ into a AAA as we describe some video game-related TripTiks. Our goal: to plan a family vacation. Our rules: it's got to be related to Mario Kart or whatever. This week we ask the question, "Which Mario Kart track would make the best family road trip?" Kyle may or may not be arguing for a fun family romp to the shores (shoals?) of Lake Erie. Andrew pitches a track very reminiscent of 2000s Nickelodeon prize packs. Todd has only really played one Mario Kart game, let's see how it works out for him.

Verily, we venture into a vast volume of the verifiably valued graphic novel version of V for Vendetta by Alan Moore in the very early 80's. Vacate your vainglorious valor as we vanquish the veneer of vacillation with verbose veracity...also Kyle does a really good job of summarizing this storyline, you just have to get past the moment he says "Earballs." TRIGGER WARNING: V for Vendetta addresses all sorts of terrible things associated with a fascist state including, but not limited to: sexual assault, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and more.

It's Spring in the midwest which means it's time to break out the grill and throw a backyard BBQ on the days it doesn't snow or rain! We love our low 60's cornhole parties here in Ohio, but sometimes an invitation to a good, old-fashioned cookout requires a little more. Sometimes, it requires a plus one. Well today we're bringing a ringer to our barbeques by answering one of the dumbest questions we've ever asked, "What Elden Ring boss should you invite to a barbeque?" As we enter our post-modern phase here at DT!HQ, Matt is here with a frisbee. Kyle violates the sacred rule by turning his plus one into a plus two. Todd tried to trick us all into being part of an intervention for his new friend who steals stars. If all of those sentences sound disconnected, you're right. Matt, Kyle and Todd have never played Elden Ring, so we had to call in a guest this week and Giovanni Colantonio answered the call!

The year was 2018 and a small, independent podcast called Debate This! decided to reboot some not-so-famous Spider-Man villains from the "silly sixties." Today, 39 whole months later, that same small, independent podcast will dare to do it again. We may never best the likes of Paste Pot Pete, but we'll certainly aim higher than a "Living Vampire." Andrew brings us back to the wild world of animal-themed baddies this week as he leads us Down Under. Kyle combines The Fast and the Furious with the MCU in the mashup we've wanted for years. Matt brought a mobster with a big dumb forehead, and that's pretty much it. Come take a ride with us as we try to ride that sweet Morbius SEO wave as we decide which classic Spidey Villain deserves a Leto-esque reboot.

Something a little different for you this week! "The Ploose is Loose!" will soon be transitioning into "Avenge This!" This will more or less be the same show, except we're going to open up to comic book properties outside of the MCU (and hopefully will stop being asked about The Mandalorian). We wanted to share this announcement on the Debate This! feed because we know you care about and follow along with every single thing we do. Stay tuned for more changes, and enjoy this taste of the new show where Todd is joined by Matt to break down Matt Reeves' "The Batman."

In a stunning turn of events, today's FLAVOR TEXT involves children fighting monsters, dealing with all sorts of trauma, and is also an anime! Join us as Andrew walks us through the 26 episode arc of Demon Slayer on Netflix! We've got a story of a brother protecting his sister, a horrifying series of spider monsters, and half a dozen surrogate fathers. Stick around as we go over one of the best animes that 3/4 of our team had never heard of. There's a special treat for listeners at the 96 minute mark with Matt yells at his cat.

The early 2000s were truly a wild a time and nothing personifies the hubris of the new millennium better than the primetime lineup of Music Television. You may know Music Television by its Christian name, MTV, but you definitely know it as the cable channel which loved to show us the glamorous life of celebrities. Well, this week the execs asked us to put together a show for DT!V. They asked us to revamp 2000s MTV staple "Cribs" and determine which superhero lair would fit perfectly into a 2022 episode. Every once in a while, one of the Debaters finds a comic character that they want to talk about, whether or not they answer the question. That was Andrew's game plan this week. Todd and Kyle both brought child soldiers to the party and that's all we'll say about that. Recommended reading: Here's the referenced Cribs compilation. Redman's feature starts at 6:00: https://youtu.be/6ix3twBu17Y The title of this weeks episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community! Want to help us choose the next one?

Look, you're reading the shownotes of this episode which means one of two things: you're either new to this show, in which case turn back now and start with a different episode...or you really care about this show, in which case we're very sorry. We've asked ourselves a lot of questions, dear listener, but this week we're doing something important. This week, we're predicting what video game movie Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will star in next. If you're in to real-time strategy games with nuclear diplomats and expansive skill trees, you're going to love Matt's answer. Todd tries to tell a gritty, emotional back story about a genocidal villain and it goes fine. Andrew does a bit and it's super dumb and bad. Recommended reading: It's been a hot minute since we talked about The Rock, but you can check out Ep. 13: Why is The Rock So Sweaty If you've never heard The Rock's rap song "Face Off" before, you can do so HERE, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Today we're talking about building a super powered child army, the JFK assassination, and zany time travel antics. No, we're not talking about X-Men plotlines, we're talking about The Umbrella Academy! Join us as we review the origin, cast of characters and the first two seasons of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix! We've got a ranking system of how much a father loves his adopted child soldiers and a dash of eldritch horror all for your enjoyment, so come on in the family angst is just fine!

What is February 1st if not the afternoon of Thanksgiving persevering, am I right? If you couldn't follow the thread on that incredibly niche joke, today we're hosting a dog show! Spend your Tuesday the way suburban families spend their post-Macy's parade afternoon as Debate This! asks, who is the goodest boi in gaming? Take a nostalgic trip back in time as Matt brings up video games' first bully. Andrew brings a back-flipping dog who kills gods to the party. To answer your question, yes he's talking about Final Fantasy. Also, the sentience of Kyle's dog makes us all a little uncomfortable.

Deep lore, little known facts, and other nuggets of knowledge. For years DT! has been doing deep dives into your favorite properties through our FLAVOR TEXT episodes. To celebrate the start of our 5th(!) season and 30th(!) FLAVOR TEXT, we are bringing you a comprehensive ranking of the lore from those properties! Which property's lore did we rank the highest? The lowest? Does the fact that there are a billion Bomberman games still blow our minds? Do we mix up the plotlines of Ys and NieR regularly? Does Andrew owe us an apology for the Kingdom Hearts episode? These answers and more in our FLAVOR TEXT of all FLAVOR TEXTS today!

Dive back into Runeterra with us today as we take another trip to Summoner's Rift. Today's FLAVOR TEXT once again takes us into the world of League of Legends. However, this time we are opening it up by offering an overview of the hit 2021 Netflix show Arcane! A story of love, heartbreak, cool hoverboards, daddy issues, and a man who is definitely going to use his technology to make a weapon, Arcane brings us the tragic origin story of two LoL champions: Vi and Jinx while two cities war over independence of each other. Per usual, we've got an Imgur link for you to follow along with (https://imgur.com/a/kBvLTah) while we have a disagreement over how that website is pronounced. Part of the package deal of telling more lore-based stories in the League of Legends' universe includes giving you all, the listeners, some sweet sweet character backstories. Specifically that of: Fiddlesticks, Graves, Twisted Fate, Gangplank, and Miss Fortune. Go read Fiddlesticks' origin story for yourself right now: https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/fiddlesticks/. LASTLY we wrap today's FLAVOR TEXT by blowing Andrew's mind by exploring the special event/skin stories of PROJECT and Battle Academia in the League of Legends Universe aka future tech champions and Anime Punch School.

It's the season premiere episode, baby! To kick off season 5 of DT!, we're jumping in on one of the most popular games of all time. It's got more players than Fortnite and it's made more money than GTA 5. This week is all about Candy Crush! But we're not crushing candy or matching three in this episode. No, today we ask, "What Candy Crush Candy is the tastiest in real life?" Todd picked the candy with all of the powers. Matt's candy sends us down a fish-based rabbit hole. Kyle also picked the candy with all of the powers.

Happy Winter Season of Non-Denominational Holiday Celebration to all of you who celebrate non-denominationaly! Happy Tuesday to those of you who don't! It's time for our final debate of the year and our annual shitty peripheral gift exchange! For those who joined our DT! Family in 2021, every year we find the wildest add-ons in vidja game history to wrap up and force on our friends in the name of capitalism. Grab a seat in the celebration circle and take in the infrared madness as Andrew introduces us to Nintendo's theremin. Kyle brought our new favorite television consumption device to the party this year and none of us can get enough. Also, Todd is here to add some nerd flair to your embroidered ugly sweaters.

Buckle yourself in for the Great Journey as we talk about Spartan IIs, Forerunners, Sticky Grenades, the Flood, Prometheans, SPNKRS, a brief stint experimenting with dual wielding mechanics, and punching the Prophet of Regret in his stupid alien face. That's right, today we're doing our deep dive into the Halo series in our latest FLAVOR TEXT. With Halo: Infinite just released, it's time to brush up on 7 games worth of deep, intergalactic space lore following the origins of life in the Halo universe, the creation of Spartan IIs, details of what the Halos actually are (and are not!) and ending with some guesses as to the plot of Halo: Infinite. Spoiler: Todd was only partially correct.

Did you hear? Did you hear? A new Pokemon game came out! Actually, it's not a new Pokemon game, it's an old Pokemon game. But they remade it! So it's new! Kinda. Hey, is the Pokemon formula getting a little tired? Is it time to run Pokemon through the DT!HQ machine to make it better? Is it time to make a comic book character a Pokemon Gym Leader? Probably not. But we did it anyway. Matt mostly talks about Netflix and ghosts, but what else is new? Todd is definitely the only one talking about a genocidal villain this week. Sorry, we couldn't stop him. Also, Kyle knows way too much about Pokemon, so this is really his fight to lose. Recommended reading: Debate This!

It's that weird time between October 31st and December 1st where America attempts to both celebrate our history and ignore the plights of colonialism. So, here is our attempt to both capture the family-friendly traditions of November and to stave off the capitalist title wave that is Christmas. The Debaters are here to put their spin on the most American of holiday traditions, the Turkey Bowl. Todd is out to remind us of the Youtube games of yore. Matt is really pushing the limits of our grandparent's love. Meanwhile, Andrew is down another Final Fantasy hole and his chances are not looking good. Realistically, we're all just here to reminisce about being beaten up by our older cousin.

Naruto. One Piece. Dragonball. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when The Big Three kept shounen anime fans together in harmony. But all of that changed when Nickelodeon attacked. Avatar: The Last Airbender mastered all the elements: A collection of juvenile misfits forming a found-family, a journey of growth and self-discovery across the globe, and a mischievous but lovable boy saving the world with the power of friendship and cool ninja powers. AND, this was all being created by a Western studio. Only Avatar: The Last Airbender could save the world from the ruthless otaku claiming Western animation was not real anime. But when the world needed Avatar: The Last Airbender the most, it vanished. Thirteen years have passed, and the boys at Debate This! have re-discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender. And although the world and its characters are great, it still has a lot to learn before it's ready to save a sub-standard premium streaming service. But we believe Avatar: The Last Airbender can save the world.

The Spooktacular Express may have come and gone for the year, but we've found another train to talk about. This week, the F-Train is hitting the station to hear our pitches for a new Disney Ploose series. Turns out the Marvel Execs forgot to plan anything for the launch of Phase 5 and they need us to write their next smash hit. Are Dazzler and Jubilee really different people? Kyle will answer your question while Andrew reminds us of the importance of blue body paint. Also, Matt talks about dinosaurs under the Museum of Natural History. Hey, you guys remember We're Back?
