Thanks for the 2024 review, Eric - I'm hoping 2025 rocks for you!

X-Men 97 was so good, I'm genuinely concerned season 2 won't measure up considering all the seismic changes behind the scenes. Here's hoping they pull off another miracle, because Matthew Chancey, writer and producer on What If, did rewrites for season 2 scripts that Beau DeMayo finished, and that final season was a major disappointment compared to the first two.

My Old Ass made me cry in the theater. Good thing I was the only one in my screening. I absolutely love Maisy Stella and she's going to be huge. Lisa Frankenstein was also weirdly entertaining.

All things considered, the 40th anniversary of Transformers was pretty solid. Between Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime, Missing Link Optimus Prime, and Legacy United G1 Optimus Prime, my wallet was hurting so good. And with Flame Toys Animated Optimus Prime model kit and FantasticModel (FansToys) FM-01 Hero around the corner, the good times aren't ending anytime soon.

2024 was an absolute ass of a year, but your musings have been a definite highlight. Keep it up, as 2025 will undoubtedly hold its own challenges.

Oh yeah, not happy to hear the What If guy is working on X-Men. Dang. Hopefully the original writing team put enough magic in their scripts that a new showrunner won't wreck season 2.

Thank you for the kind words, man! I'm glad my words brought you some enjoyment. Here's to a better (although certainly challenging) 2025.
