Infernus

Finally a box office mega event after frickin ages. Loving this. 250M+ OW, goddamn! Spidey solo over IW would have been quite the interesting sell a year ago. And what a film. 10/10 to the heart of any spidey fanatic. Genuinely one of my happiest theatre experiences of all time. And nearly every fan I've talked to so far has the same to say about it and has/wants to watch it twice at least. Yet to meet someone who didn't rave about the film. WOM is out of the world and the multi's gotta be fantastic. While there's the theory that covid might discourage rewatches I'd like to counter it with the possibility that the amazing WOM persuades people who were unsure because of covid to end up going for it as well. 260m puts 800m within the horizon imo. Unless, ofc, omicron has bigger plans.

15/15! Damn, has that ever happened before?

Ooh, looks like I've been having a nice preseason. Maybe I should have participated in the rest of the game 😅 Also, just realized Anabelle beat Yesterday on the last weekend with that all too innocent jump. Sucks for me 😕

Damn, haven't been getting any time at all for the game this year... Probably gonna be the worst ever performance by a defending champion 😅. Also, fuck me for the hurried last minute Pre-seasons. I was elated to see my high hopes from Aladdin were coming through only to realize I forgot to put it in my Top 7 OW despite predicting 300m Dom 😣

Hehe 😁 Honestly, I am feeling the same. I knew my pre-seasons went well but never really thought I was even in the running for the top before the preseasons totaling began. Had a sneak peek at @WrathOfHan's top 15 a few days ago, saw that they got the top 4 right in order where I didn't even get the top 2 right, and basically thought it was no game for me. There's just too much happening in the preseasons scoring to be able to predict anything though, and so I stand here very pleasantly surprised 😄 That sounds... intriguing? 😅

Congrats to @WrathOfHan and @Wrath ! It's amazing how the littlest things can change everything. But for Ant man beating solo by less than half a million on the very last day of the game and WrathOfHan would have been the one to emerge victorious instead, with an entire top 6 perfectly predicted in the dom top 15. Also, incredible performance by Wrath in the top 15. 1.5m was absolutely unprecedented, honestly. Thanks a lot to everyone who played the summer game and made the whole of it so interesting, fun and competitive. Even bigger thanks in particular to @chasmmi and @JJ-8 for running another successful and ever more exciting rendition of this game. This game is easily one of the best parts of this site and you are the ones who make it what it is. Still can't believe I actually won this, honestly. Have spent the last half an hour trying to explain to all my flatmates just why I'm so happy and exactly what this game is 😅 PS: I'm all out of reactions for the day but thanks to everyone for the congratulations!!

YES! YES!!! WOO HOO!! CHAMPION - SUMMER GAME 2018!!!

What the.....
