Welcome to the tangent factory.

I often find myself stopped dead in my tracks thinking about random elements of natural history, science, pop culture, history and beautiful human beings. Here's where all those thoughts end up.

Guy says he's wanted to see a live action version of Princess Mononoke for over twenty years. So, instead of spending time learning to make films and about cinematography and actually creating his own art?

He dumped some money into an AI generator to make a shot for shot remake of the trailer.

Dude decided the best way he could pay tribute to an iconic movie about the importance of the relationship between humanity and nature was to recreate it in a manner that includes no human actors and is an industry that is notoriously demanding devastating amounts of energy in the middle of a fucking climate crisis, this shit is beyond parody.

It seems pretty clear that the promo with Jerry Lynn earlier in the show was to lay the groundwork for Orange Cassidy to step up with the Conglomeration against the BCC. His history with Wheeler and Mox basically writes that storyline for them. Even more than that, I am really looking forward to seeing OC cast in a "thrust into leadership" role.

The wrinkle in this theory is the Elite. And maybe they're not so much a wrinkle as an opportunity for the Conglomeration to fight a war on two fronts, because I loved Kyle stepping up to Okada for the Continental belt.

That being said, I think the Don Callis Family feuding with the Elite to get Fletcher the Continental belt would be amazing.

Plus, Christian is also waiting in the wings with his contract. And the Hurt Business is lurking around. And Hangman's descent into madness continues.

2025 is going to be an incredible year for AEW, I think.
