Fast and Furious 9
My husband and I have begun our quest to watch all of the Fast and Furious movies in reverse order. After watching Fast 10 in theaters (and having many questions) we watched the 9th movie in hopes to gain some context. Now for those of you who have seen all of the Fast and Furious movies I can feel you laughing at me. And you would be correct to do so. So much happens in these movies and yet nothing happens in these movies so no context was gained. No questions were answered but so, so many arose.

The Legion of Superheroes
The Legion of Superheroes A very popular comic book team brought to us by DC comics was first introduced in Adventure Comics #247 in 1958. This team has gone through possibly more reboots and retcons than any individual character but its original iteration was based around Superboy, who was Superman when he was a teenager. He had met lightening boy, Saturn girl and cosmic boy. These three had formed a superhero club using Superboy as inspiration and they time traveled to recruit him as a member. As the team gained attention lightning boy was changed to lightning lad. They then were granted more stories in Adventure Comics and alluded to more heroes in this Legion including; Invisible Kid, Sun Boy, Bouncing Boy, Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet and a few others.

Record of Ragnarok Predictions part 2: Humanity Still Wins!
So, there was a few things I got wrong with my last predictions & my predictions might have changed some things about the future of the series since it's been released. I'll go over more about that a bit later. Because right now, SO much has changed that it throws a Sun Wukong size wrench into my last theories. These first two matches are the one's that have finished since I wrote my previous Article "Record of Ragnarok fight predictions: humans win!" If you haven't read it yet & want to, please click the link & check out what I wrote about the seriesbefore this. (Insert link here) Spoilers Ahead and with that out of the way. SPOILERS!!!! I was wrong about what Tesla's powers would be. I was thinking it was going to be something more than just prep time. I did predict the perp time. I was hoping his understanding of how things worked that when he got his völundr it would allow him to create things on the fly like a sorcerer. I guess he would have been too OP for whatever is coming after Ragnarok. Beelzebub being a scientist & a master of vibrations is a beautiful twist that I absolutely love! By the end of the match I knew there was no way the Tesla could have ever won this match. I predicted Beelzebub's was going to win his match, I couldn't figure out who or how cause I had a love for Tesla. BUT, Now that he's no longer in the tournament, I have no biases left for the characters & can analyze them all to their fullest. I was wrong about the fight order as well. But, so far, the ENTIRE FANBASE can agree that Odin Vs King Leonidas, is the last match. I have a idea that the writers Shinya Umemura & Takumi Fukui along with illustrator Ajichika might be picking the match order at random & already picked out the matches & their winners but to keep everyone on their toes they're picking the fights in a random order. Just one idea. Otherwise wouldn't having certain characters fight each other sooner or later base on their power levels be the best approach? Clearly the First 1 match is a great opening match. But Adam vs Zeus? It felt too soon to see this fight didn't it? But we'll see going forward. I'll go into more Unanswered Questions further down. Qui Shi Huang Vs Hades is a match I couldn't put my finger on in a prediction. I didn't want to think they would use ANOTHER Greek Deity. I was surprised by Qui Shi Huang wins as well cause I was predicting that the God's Guest Fighter would win their match. I couldn't have predicted Qui Shi Huang abilities or völundr. It was a glorious match nonetheless that's going to be the first match I go over in this article below.
