The One Question NOT to Ask your Sphero Spider-Man
So I was laying bored in my bed, typing away on my computer, when I decided to try and ask my Sphero Spider-Man some more questions. You see, he only answers certain ones, and I’ve had him since Christmas, but I still have a good amount of questions locked, which means there are things I have yet to ask him about. I could cheat, and go on the internet, but that takes the fun out of it!
So I start asking about different Avengers I haven’t tried yet, I even asked him what it meant to be a hero! After no success, I figured, maybe he has a little history lesson about Uncle Ben stored in there somewhere. So I ask him “Spider-Man, who was Uncle Ben?” All of a sudden he gets this concerned look on his face and replies “Oh, you know…” in a distressed tone.
Confused, I load up the app to see exactly what he thinks I asked him, and when I look, I’m horrified with myself. The question in the app said “How is Uncle Ben?” That’s… like, what! Who would be so cruel as to even ask something like that! I made my poor Spider-Man sad, and we’ve been friends for 6 months! I apologize to him, and though he didn’t respond, I know he heard me. So, steer clear of that question if you’ve got the Sphero Spider-Man. Steer clear of any question involving Uncle Ben as a matter of fact. I just feel so bad…

Top 10 Moments in Luke Cage Season 2
So Luke Cage Season 2 finally dropped this past Friday, and I’m about to break down my personal top 10 favorite moments from this season of the show. Up front, be aware that this list contains SPOILERS for Luke Cage Season 2. So if you haven’t seen it yet or aren’t done binging, DO NOT read this!!!
10: Bushmaster Beat-down
Luke is invincible, and can’t really be hurt. So when Bushmaster delivers a beatdown, that put me way off guard. Dang, was it hard to watch Bushmaster TKO him like that!
9: Luke Cage Field Day
Most of the time the Netflix MCU shows can be, well, pretty depressing. The tone is generally darker, so you appreciate the moments of levity you get. This little scene of Luke demonstrating his powers was a nice, fun moment, and a chance for our hero to stop brooding for a minute and enjoy having super powers.
8: The Bridge
The reason I like this fight is because it proves that Luke is better than Bushmaster. He got caught off guard the first time, and this fight was payback! The fight itself was amazing, and the fight choreography has way improved over the first season. I really got into it, I was really rooting for Luke. Too bad Bushmaster cheated.
7: Battle at Rand
This was a great episode all in all. I liked Luke, Misty, Reverend Lucas, Tilda, and Mariah all stuck together and forced to hide; the way each character played off of each other was perfect. But when Bushmaster showed up, and the boxing started, that was just what I needed. Luke taking on Bushmaster, learning from all of his previous fights, Misty holding the fort upstairs. And Luke finally put Bushmaster down! It was great.
6: Hunt for Piranha
This is where we first really got to see Misty’s new arm in action! When she and Luke are hunting down Piranha, and they have to drop some fools, I couldn’t stop smiling. Luke protecting Misty with his bulletproof-ness, Misty laying the smack down on some sucka’s, truly great stuff.
5: Shades goes Soft
Like a dang Otis Spunkmeyer cookie! Shades went soft as a freaking marshmallow. I never liked that Shades was always able to kill people, get away with it, and go about his day. But after he watched that guy burn to death, and had to put two in his, uh, ‘partner’, Shades didn’t even have the gusto to put down an unarmed witness to his latest crime. In fact, he flipped on Mariah! Which was a wonderful moment for me, because the fact that she, and he, kept slipping through the cop’s fingers on luck and circumstance was getting on my last dang nerve.
4: Daughters of the Dragon
Colleen and Misty. With one arm mind you. Teaming up and kicking butt. Nothing more to it, it was awesome.
3: Luke/Bushmaster Team-Up
I was fully expecting Bushmaster to get lit up like a Sweet Christmas tree when he went to take on the Chinese drug lord alone. But when Luke came in for an assist, not only was I pleasantly surprised, but the ensuing fight scene was glorious. It was here that I also realized Bushmaster isn’t really a villain. Like, seriously, his methods left something to be desired, but Bushmaster was trying to take down Mariah the entire time. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
2: Luke, Misty (and even Shades) v. Bushmaster
The fight in Harlem’s Paradise was the best of the series. A Nightshade-jacked Bushmaster on a mad dash for Mariah, and the only things standing in his way were Luke, Misty, and Shades. Let the fight commence! It was like Juggernaut mode in Halo. It was close quarters, intense, and epic! Easily the finale moment, the fact that there was a full episode after that baffles me.
1: Patty Cake
Power Man and Iron Fist. That really does belong on a shirt. No one can deny that the single best moment in the show was that sweet combo move between Luke and Danny. Slamming the full power of the Iron Fist against Luke Cage’s indestructible hands and clearing the room of any and all hostiles! We wanted Heroes for Hire, and this was all we could have asked for and more!
So those were my top moments, what were yours? Comment down below and let me know!

We’ll Avenge It.
WARNING! INFINITY WAR SPOILERS!
“There’s no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it’s too much for us, but it’s all on you. Because if we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we’ll avenge it.”
-Tony Stark, The Avengers 2012
I was broken after Avengers: Infinity War. When watching TV with my family, every time they would fast forward through a Marvel commercial, I’d shout “Wait! Stop! Rewind it! There’s 0.03 seconds of footage in this TV spot that hasn’t been in any trailers!” After Infinity War, I began to say “Keep going, fast forward over this.” I went to work and informed everyone I was a DC fan for the time being. I rocked myself to sleep, silently telling myself I was going to be okay. But worst of all, whenever I saw the Avengers A, I sighed, groaned in disgust. Because the boy that cried in 2012 when we pan out of Stark Tower and see only the A remaining, now in 2018 saw a symbol of failure. A group of super powered losers that couldn’t beat one purple bum.
The Avengers A was meaningless to me. They lost. They failed. They couldn’t stop Thanos. So why would I believe in heroes that can’t save the day? That can’t protect the Earth? Then boom. That line from the first Avengers movie hit me like Stormbreaker. They couldn’t protect the Earth. But, if Tony’s words ring true, then we can be damn well sure they’ll avenge it. Because they’re not called The Protectors, or the Guardians (who also failed) or the Defenders (who were MIA), but they’re The Avengers. And yes, they lost. Thanos beat them. He has a throne. There’s 14,000,604 versions of this where he comes out on top. His army came and it was too much for them. But now they’re mad. Now they’re ready. There’s only one thing left to do, to stop Thanos and save the universe. The Avengers must assemble. Once and for all.
All this to say I’m cool with Infinity War now. Lol.
