A Quick Summary

Deep Cut

Shiver Hohojiro/Agent 4(octoling, they/them): Takes the role of Callie/Agent 1. Uses a Splatana. Made Agent 4 of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the events of Octo Valley. Got captured and temporarily brainwashed during the events of Octo Canyon. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA

Frye Onaga/Agent 5(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Marie/Agent 2.. Uses a Stringer. Made Agent 5 of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the events of Octo Valley. Rescued Shiver/Agent 4 during the events of Octo Canyon with the help of Agent 6. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA

Big Man(species unknown, he/him): Introduced in Octo Valley. Helps Agents 3, 4, and 5 fight off the brainwashed Octarians in 1, and helps override the speakers of the Emperor during the fights against him in Splatoon 1 and 2. Ended up joining Deep Cut after the battle against the Emperor in 1. Hasn't actually shown his face yet, only speaking to the Agents over radio. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, LOCATION UNKNOWN

Off The Hook

Pearl Houzuki(octoling, she/her): Normal role. Uses an Inkbrush. Was formerly an Octoweapon with "sonic amplification powers" known as 17839 that escaped after the events of Octo Valley. Was found by Marina on Mount Nantai, and was taken in by a loving single father after a bit. Apparently has a “lab-bro” who is assumed to be a fellow Octoweapon. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, ON TOUR.

Marina Ida (inkling, she/her): Normal role. Uses a Splatling. Was a huge tech geek in her youth. Was a key helper in getting Pearl to open up to Inkling society. Still maintains the chat rooms for the Agents. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, ON TOUR.

Cephalopunks

Callie(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Shiver. Uses a Roller. Was given the title of Agent 1 by her grandfather in her youth, but has never acted against the brainwashed Octarians in combat. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't help them once they're free from the brainwashing. She's good friends with their band's head of security, after all...

Marie (inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Frye. Uses a Charger. Was given the title of Agent 2 by her grandfather, but like her cousin, prefers to focus on helping the formerly brainwashed rather than fighting the currently brainwashed. She's good at recognizing those with trauma, hence her concern for the third member of the Cephalopunks...

"Wasa-B" (octarian, he/him): Takes the role of Big Man. No one's ever seen what he looks like (save his bandmates) but Wasa-B is renowned for his impeccable skill at DJing. It's like he's been practicing for over half a century. Who knows? He apparently doesn't. Something messed with his memory recall, and every time he is asked about it, he goes silent before mumbling about "dark... can't think... clean...", and the other band members have to snap him out of his daze...

Non-Idols

Agent 3/Avery(inkling, he/him): Normal role. Non-verbal. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA

Senior Advisor Craig Cuttlefish(he/him): Normal role. He’s one of the most knowledgeable on the ongoing fight against the Octarian army, alongside Big Man. Though before the first fight against the Emperor in 1, he assumed Octavio was in control. He was wrong. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN

Emperor Henrique Sequiera of the Manta Clan(manta ray, he/him): Takes the role of DJ Octavio. Scarred, strong, and secretly unsure about his role as leader. Has stolen the Great Zapfish twice, and has gotten his butt kicked for it both times. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN

Fay Keon(presumed Octoling, they/them): Henrique’s seemingly loyal second in command. Seems to have something up their sleeve, but no one knows what they have planned. (Was secretly the one who created Pearl and her “lab-bro”.) Has no morals. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN

Agent 6/Quinn(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Agent 4. Has hyperlexia. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA (assists Neo 3)

Agent 8/DJ Dedf1sh/Ahato: Takes the role of Agent 8. Helped Craig Cuttlefish uncover the truth of the Deepsea Metro and defeat Commander Tartar. Still keeps in regular contact with Pearl and Marina. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA (assists Neo 3)

Neo Agent 3/Alex(octoling, he/him and she/her): Normal role. Autistic. Knows the Salmonid language, and insists that Iggy (Little Buddy) is the heir to a Salmonid empire. (Since apparently no one else on the NSS knows the Salmonid language, they cannot confirm nor deny the truth of this.) CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA

I love fancy silver haired battle wright lady, she's my fave design we've had in a while. What's her name? Is she gonna be a big character going forward or is she a cool side character just for this chapter? can she be my wife? thanks

She is Aseptick Agent Irma Keon, known to some as Death Spiral (デーススパイル). She really enjoys killing Alds, particularly the freaky ones, like Plats and Coppers. You may know her husband, Agent Rion Keon, who is currently in state custody having a bad time.

We'll see her again next book, but she's got too much cleaning up to do in Grenzlan to make it to Port Morstorben today. Incidentally, we are done with Grenzlan after today's update. You'll have to use your imagination to guess how the rest plays out.

Enigma batman

#Enigma batman series

Riddler leaves behind a puzzle box for Batman. Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and the GCPD fail to capture Riddler, and the investigation is taken over by the mysterious Agency, led by Amanda Waller. The game also follows the events of the previous game, taking place between a couple of months to a year after these events.Ī year after defeating the Children of Arkham, Bruce Wayne witnesses the return of the Riddler to Gotham while investigating arms dealer Rumi Mori. Like the previous installment, the game is set during the mid-to-late 2010s in Gotham City, primarily the Batcave, Wayne Enterprises and Gotham City Police Headquarters. The Enemy Within is set in the same Batman continuity introduced in Batman: The Telltale Series, which took place a number of years into Batman's career. New minor characters introduced include Police Detective Harvey Bullock ( Keith Szarabajka), Agency operative Vernon Blake (Christian Lanz), international arms dealer Rumi Mori ( Keone Young), Riddler's second-in-command Eli Knable (Alex Hernandez), and Stacked Deck patrons Frank Dumfree and Willy Deever ( Kirk Thornton and Dave B. Freeze ( Matthew Mercer) and Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn ( Laura Post).ĭetective Renee Montoya ( Sumalee Montano), Reporter Jack Ryder ( Robert Clotworthy) and Wayne Enterprises Chairwoman Regina Zellerbach (Lorri Holt) return with smaller roles within the series. Other members of the group include Riddler ( Robin Atkin Downes), Bane ( JB Blanc), Dr. "John Doe" ( Anthony Ingruber) and Selina Kyle/Catwoman ( Laura Bailey) also return, now members of a group of criminals called "the Pact". New supporting characters are also introduced, including Special Agent Iman Avesta ( Emily O'Brien), one of the Agency's operatives and a fan of Batman, and Tiffany Fox ( Valarie Rae Miller), the daughter of Lucius and an employee at Wayne Enterprises. The game introduces " The Agency", a mysterious government organization with its own agenda led by the ruthless Amanda Waller ( Debra Wilson). His butler and former legal guardian Alfred Pennyworth ( Enn Reitel), Police Commissioner James Gordon ( Murphy Guyer), and Wayne Enterprises Chief of Technology Lucius Fox ( Dave Fennoy) return to assist Batman in the field. The player once again assumes control of Bruce Wayne/Batman ( Troy Baker), a billionaire who secretly fights crime in Gotham City. Crowd Play, a feature implemented in the predecessor, also returns for The Enemy Within, allowing streamers to let their audience interact with their session with the game. Sections of the game also present situations to the player where they may choose to approach as Bruce Wayne or as Batman.

#Enigma batman series

The series also includes investigation sequences, allowing the player to use Batman's detective skills to investigate areas. The game includes action sequences that are resolved similar to Telltale's other games, using quick time events. If the player had played the previous game, choices made, such as saving certain characters or stopping a criminal, may also be imported, though the game can be played as a standalone title. The game features a branching narrative, similar to past Telltale games, giving the player options in approaching a situation and having that choice affect later events in the game. The player controls Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman, with the game evenly split for both characters. Like most Telltale games, the game features a similar episodic format found in other titles (such as Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands).

CANTLON: HARTFORD WOLF PACK OFFSEASON NOTES 10

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - The world of professional hockey never sleeps. Being past the NHL Draft and initial free agent frenzy means the fine-tuning is underway. Meanwhile, in Hartford, the reunion of Hartford Whalers at the annual event at Dunkin Donuts Park by the Yard Goats drew a multitude of ex-players and plenty of fans. From his home in Florida, Dave Keon sent a thoughtful, heartfelt video message to his former teammates and fans. The Yard Goats hope to add more names next year as Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson couldn't attend this year because Francis's daughter was getting married. 70-year-old Nick Fotiu, who played for both the New England and Hartford Whalers, the Rangers, and at three separate times played and was an assistant coach in New Haven, and was also an assistant coach for the Hartford Wolf Pack, was unable to come. However, his grandson was graduating from the NYC police academy. He hopes to return to attending next year. The Staten Island-born Fotiu still maintains his home in Cape Cod. Mark Howe, now retired as the head of scouting for Detroit, may join his brother Marty next year, a resident who has been an attendee for the annual event. Sean Burke was to attend. He now is in a scouting role after leaving Montreal for Las Vegas, where he joins old Whaler teammate Jim McKenzie, who couldn't make it. SCHEDULING The unified 72-game AHL schedule for 2022-23 was unveiled last week. Hartford opens on the road with a two-game set in Charlotte on October 14 and 15 and will play in the eight-team Atlantic Division. They open up at home a week later with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The day after Thanksgiving, they are in Bridgeport and play host to Springfield on New Year's Eve at 5:30. The schedule features three new Central Division teams Grand Rapids, Rockford, and Milwaukee. Milwaukee arrives on December 9th and marks its first appearance since February 14th, 2003. They now play in a new arena, the Panther Arena, as the Bradley Center is gone. Grand Rapids travels in the next night and haven't seen the XL Center since January 2nd, 2009, and they play Rockford a week before, on December 2nd, for the first time. Laval and Belleville have been dropped from their schedule. Tim Gettinger's new deal of one year was announced as a one-year two-way at $750K-NHL/$125K-AHL. Rangers added depth and experience in signing C.J. Smith from the defending Calder Cup champs, Chicago Wolves, at one year and one-way money of $750K. Ex-Pack Ryan Dmowski (Old Lyme/The Gunn School) signs with Texas (AHL). Kasperi Kapanen, son of former Whaler Sami Kapanen, signs a two-year extension with Pittsburgh for $3.2M per released terms. Wolf Pack spare goalie the last two years, François Brassard, heads to Providence, getting a two-way (AHL-ECHL) deal and likely end up in Maine (Portland). Joining him is the recently re-signed ex-Pack of one game, the last game before the pandemic hit three years ago, Connor Bleackley. Ex-Pack Terrance Wallin (The Gunn School) was named the Mariners' new coach replacing ex-Sound Tiger Ben Guite, who took the job at D3 small Ivy at Bowdoin College (NESCAC). Tyce Thompson, the youngest son of ex-Pack and current Bridgeport head coach Brent Thompson, signed a two-year extension. The deal is split $750K -NHL /$125K-AHL his first year and one-way money at $775K his second year. The Bridgeport Islanders have joined the big goalie craze signing 6'8 Finnish Islanders, a 7th-round draft choice last year. Henrik Tikkanen (MODO Sweden-SHL). They did sign from Saint John (QMJHL) undrafted Vincent Sévigny, son ex-Pack Pierre Sévigny, and re-signed an old defenseman from two years ago, Ryan MacKinnon, who split last year between Lehigh Valley/ Reading (ECHL). AHL CALGARY GETS A NAME The Calgary AHL franchise has a name, the Wranglers. It adopted the name of the WHL team of yesteryear (1977-1985) when the franchise was a junior team and moved to Billings, MT, becoming the Bighorns. That lasted five years before being sold and moved again. The logo is a sharp red W with a flame at the bottom. It honors their western cowboy roots early days of the franchise in Atlanta. The team was in Stockton as the Heat for five years, and its eighth version of an AHL team started in Maine in the early 1990s. Among the first signees was Alberta native Brett Sutter, the son of Darryl Sutter, the Calgary Flames head coach. He is the tenth Sutter to play pro hockey. The original junior team name was the Centennials from 1967-1977, the last year of the WCHL before it became the WHL. Junior hockey returned to Calgary when professional wrestler Brett "The Hitman" Hart, a Calgary native, lent his money and his Hitman moniker to the franchise in 1995, which it still is. The first year of junior hockey, then the WCMHL, was 1966. The team, for one year, was called the Buffaloes. The WHA team lasted two years (1975-77) and was the Cowboys. The new Springfield GM and St. Louis scout is Connecticut resident and former Rangers Director of Pro Scouting for the last 12 years, Kevin Maxwell, 62. Maxwell played in NHL for three teams Minnesota, the Colorado Rockies, and New Jersey, and worked as a scout, Director of Pro Scouting, and assistant coach for the Whalers for four years, North Stars, Devils, Flyers, Dallas, and the Islanders. His son Chase (Xavier HS) plays for the CT Junior Rangers (NCDC). His eldest son, Jackson, played club hockey for Springfield College (ACHA Division-III), followed in his footsteps, and is a scout for Toronto. Former Nighthawk Sylvain Couturier is hired as the new GM by the Cape Breton Eagles (QMJHL). After twenty years, he leaves Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL) from the other side of the province. Former New Haven Senator Jake Grimes has left Cape Breton as head coach for the University of Waterloo (OUAA) next season as their new bench boss. Former UCONN player Ben Freeman signs with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. In addition, ex-Sound Tiger Robert "Bobo" Carpenter signs a one-year deal with Florida (ECHL). Defenseman Zack Malik split last season in the Czech Republic (Czechia) Division-2 with his former Whaler, Springfield Indians, Ranger, and Beast New Haven father Marek, an assistant coach with HC Frydek-Mistek and HK Dukla Jihlava, heads to FPS (Finland Mestis Divison-2). Nick Bochen of Quinnipiac University (ECACHL) transfers to Bentley University (AHA). UCONN gets another transfer from Vermont (HE) in Andrew Lucas. In addition, the team's first-ever Finnish commit, they get Samu Salminen from the Jokerit U-20 team, who is eligible for the Finnish 2023 WJC team to take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Moncton, New Brunswick. That makes for 102 school transfers that we know of and 103 grad transfers for a total of 205 this off-season. Over 100 players remain in the transfer portal. Hockey East has seen 50 players sign pro deals, and NCHC and CCHA have had 32 each. The Big 10 has 28, ECACHL 23, the AHA 17, and NCAA Independents with 12. 71 AHL'ers have signed overseas, with Russia leading the way with 16, Sweden with 13, Germany with nine, and Switzerland and Finland with eight each. 26 of 31 teams have lost at least one player. Ex-Pack Nick Merkley departs Hartford, and John Gilmour leaves CSKA Moscow (Russia-KHL), both head for Dynamo Minsk (Belarus-KHL). Chase Harwell (Southbury/Selects Academy at South Kent Prep) finished his Canadian college hockey career at Concordia University (OUAA) in Montreal after five years of major junior in Quebec. He signed with Norfolk (ECHL) at the end of last season signs with Como (Italy Division-2) for next season. The WJC camp resumed from the postponed December tournament to be held next week in Edmonton rostershaves been finalized. The Canadian team will feature Ranger draftees Will Cullye and Brennan Othmann, but Chase Stillman, the grandson of former Nighthawk and Springfield Indian Bud Stefanski, was cut. Ridley Greig, the son of former Hartford Whaler Mark Greig, made the final cut. Future Wolf Pack goalie Dylan Garand was named to the team. Future possible Bridgeport Islander William Dufour was also selected. One of the camp coaches is ex-Springfield Indian Brad Lauer from last year's WHL champion, the Edmonton Oil Kings, who was just hired as an assistant coach by Winnipeg (NHL). Ex-Pack/Sound Tiger Ted Donato has bowed out of the US WJC team as one of its assistants, and Grant Potulny, former Springfield Falcon and brother of ex-Pack Ryan and head coach of Northern Michigan (CCHA), will take his place. Rangers draftee Brett Berard (Providence College-HE) is the lone Ranger team rep. Matt "Mackie" Samokevich (Newtown) from Michigan (Big 10) program is also on the team. The Czechia (Czech Republic) squad has David Spacek, the son of former Beast of New Haven Jaroslav Spacek. The Rangers' first draft pick from last month's draft in Montreal, Adam Sýkorais, on the Slovakian team along with Rayen Petrovický, son of former Whaler/Ranger Róbert Petrovický. Finland has Bridgeport's Aatu Raty and Oliver Kapanen, nephew of former Whaler Sami Kapanen. Austria has Senna Peters in his last junior level tournament. He is a former player from the Selects Academy program at South Kent Prep and will be with HC Innsbruck (IceHL) in the fall. Former Whaler Brad Shaw has left Vancouver and been named the new assistant coach in Philadelphia. While embroiled in international controversy and intrigue lately, Taiwan, known as Chinese Taipei to appease mainland Chinese sentiment, had a big hockey win to celebrate. The U-20 squad team had an exciting 5-4 overtime win over host Mexico in the central Mexican town of Queretaro at the Lakeside Ice Rink and won the IIHF U-20 Division III title, earning a promotion to Division II Group B Division in 2023. This is after establishing the program just 12 years ago in a country with just three rinks on the island nation. The game-winner came off the stick Hung-Li Chou on a two-on-one with his tourney-leading tenth goal. He scored early after host Mexico had tied the score late with an extra attacker with a minute left in regulation on the powerplay. Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) was the tournament Cindrella's. They beat Mexico in the preliminary round in OT and Israel in OT in the semi-final by the count of 6-5 on a Chou goal. Australia won bronze by beating Israel 1-0 as Ethan Hawes had the only goal. Israeli Mike Levin (16 points) was the tourney's leading scorer. HARTFORD WOLF PACK HOME Read the full article

Play Keon Johnson

It's time for Chauncey Billups to give Keon Johnson high volume minutes to close the season.

Portland doesn't control Ben McLemore’s contract and it’s unlikely that he’ll return next season.

In addition, though he doesn’t play the exact position, I think CJ Elleby is getting entirely way too much run for a guy who may not even be on the roster next year—he’s a restricted free agent and the team hasn’t done him the courtesy of extending his deal at all.

So, to close the season, Portland should give Keon the rock and play him a ton of minutes. I’m talking 28-32 minutes, 12-15 shots a night, and lots of time with the ball.

I don’t think Keon is at all close to being NBA rotation ready, but I think there’s a possibility that Portland could put him in a pressure cooker/time machine in these last 20 games or so and expedite his development.

Watching his tape, here’s what I’m looking for:

Attack the basket and get to the line. His handle is decent and he’s the most athletic guy in his class. He should be able to get to the basket when he wants to.

Match Greg Brown’s Dunk/highlight per game/fanbase opiate delivery system. That would be good for the fanbase as Portland becomes terrible.

Figure out the offense. I’d like to see what he looks like alongside Josh Hart.

Getting reps guarding the opposing team’s best backcourt player. This is the part of his game that’s probably the furthest along.

Get lots of shots up, especially from the outside. If you compare tape from when he was at Tennessee to the Clippers, his form has gotten a lot better—it’s not nearly as hitchy. I’d like to see 3-5 3pt attempts a game for Keon.

There’s literally no downside to getting Keon lots of reps at this point.

Do it, Chauncey.

AoS Rewatch: 2x10 What They Become

Wow, I have shivers every time I’m watching this episode. Definitely one of the best in season 2 and in whole series.

Scene of episode? Skye’s transformation for sure. It was brilliant, I love how they shot this - everything just fits together. And I remember having so many questions after watching this for the first time. Once again I’m glad I binge watched 4 seasons ;).

I still can’t believe that they killed Trip. He was such a ray of sunshine and didn’t deserve this. #TripLives

Skye shooting Ward is a mood, he definitely deserved this. But of course he’s not easy to kill...

I love scenes with Cal, he seems crazy but it’s obvious that he loves his daughter very much. Really, I wish we could see him again in season 7.

My Fitzsimmons heart is getting warm after what happened in last episode, because those two works the best together and they can’t stay away from each other. And Fitz trying to protect Jemma is my favorite view.

"MEN IN BLACK 3" (2012) Review

"MEN IN BLACK 3" (2012) Review After 2002's "MEN IN BLACK II", I never thought I would ever see another movie from the franchise based upon Lowell Cunningham's The Men in Black comic book series. Never. After all, it was not exactly a critical success and was barely a commercial hit. And yet . . . the team from the first two movies went ahead and created a third one for the franchise.

"MEN IN BLACK 3" picks up ten years after the last movie, “MEN IN BLACK II”. Boris the Animal, the last surviving member of the Boglodite species, escapes from the LunarMax prison on Earth's moon with the intention of seeking revenge against the MIB agent responsible for his arrest and loss of arm - Agent K. The latter discovers during a skirmish he and Agent J experience at a local Chinese restaurant that Boris has escaped. Unfortunately for Agent K, Boris arrives in Manhattan and seeks Jeffrey Price, the son of a fellow prisoner who had possession of a few time-jump mechanisms. Not much time passes before Agent K disappears from existence and Agent J is the only one who remembers his partner. Agent O, who is MIB's new Chief following Zed's passing, deduces from Agent J's statements that a fracture has occurred in the space-time continuum. The two realize Boris must have time-jumped to 1969 and killed K. And now an imminent Boglodite invasion threatens Earth, due to the absence of the protective ArcNet that K had installed in 1969. J acquires a similar time-jump mechanism from Price, jumps off the Chrysler Building in order to reach time-travel velocity, and arrives in July 1969, a day before Boris kills K. When I learned that Steven Spielberg, director Barry Sonnenfeld, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones planned to do a third MEN IN BLACK movie; I could only shake my head in disbelief. Mind you, I did not dislike the second film. But it seemed a disappointment in compare to the quality of 1997 original movie. But in the end, I could not say no to a MEN IN BLACK movie. And thank God I did go see it. Now, "MEN IN BLACK 3" was not perfect. There were a few aspects about Etan Cohen's screenplay that left me scratching my head. If Boris the Animal (oops! I mean Boris) had been imprisoned in the LunarMax prison for over 40 years, how on earth did Boris' girlfriend Lily, who helped him escape, learn about his existence in the first place? I am also a little confused about Agent J and Agent K's ages. According to 1997's "MEN IN BLACK", Agent k was a teenager in New Jersey when he experienced his first alien encounter before becoming a member of the Men in Black agency in 1961 or 1962. Yet, according to Cohen's script, Agent K was a Texas native born in 1940. As for Agent J, he was at least four years old in July 1969. Which makes him at least 46 or 47 years old in this story. I could have sworn he was at least three or four years younger. Oh well. However, by the time I became deeply engrossed in the story, I managed to forget these questionable aspects of "MEN IN BLACK 3". I believe that "MEN IN BLACK" is the funnier movie. I cannot deny this. However, I feel that "MEN IN BLACK 3" had the best plot of the three films. Time travel tends to be a hit-or-miss topic when it comes to the science-fiction genre. Aside from the questionable aspects of Agents K and J's ages, I feel that "MEN IN BLACK 3" provided a first-rate time travel story. One, Agent J proved to be the right character chosen for a time travel mission. Being over twenty years younger than his partner, he was the right person to see New York City and Cape Canaveral in 1969. Boris' reasons for time travel proved to be a heady mixture of personal vengeance and the successful completion of his original mission to kill a refugee alien named Griffin, who possessed the ArcNet, a satellite device that would prevent Boris' species, the Boglodites, from invading Earth and destroying mankind. Agent J's time travel adventures gave audiences two peaks into what it must have been like for an African-American in the 1960s New York - something that the TV series "MAD MEN" more or less failed to do after five seasons. Kudos to director Barry Sonnenfeld for keeping this fascinating tale hilarious, poignant and on track. Not only did "MEN IN BLACK 3" provided a first-rate time travel story, it also possessed some memorable scenes that I will never forget. My favorite scenes include the brief, yet bizarre memorial service for the recently dead Agent Zed; Agents K and J's skirmish with some truly bizarre agents at a Chinese restaurant that I would not recommend to humans; Agent J's initial time jump to 1969; J's hilarious elevator encounter with a bigot fearful of being in close proximity with a black man; Agent J and young Agent K's very funny and surprising meeting with "Andy Warhol" at the latter's factory; the two agents' meeting with Griffin at Shea Stadium; the meeting between old and young Boris in 1969; and Agent J's discovery at Cape Canaveral of the true reason behind K's strange behavior at the beginning of the story. But my favorite moment featured Agent J's discovery that Agent K's habit of ordering pie was even frustrating in the past. The production for "MEN IN BLACK 3" was also first-rate. Danny Elfman continued his outstanding work in providing a score similar to the franchise's signature theme. I found Bill Pope's photography to be rather sharp and colorful - especially the 1969 segments. Don Zimmerman did outstanding work as the film's editor. I was especially impressed by his work in the time jump sequence and the showdown between the MIB agents and Boris at Cape Canaveral. And both Mary E. Vogt's costume designs and Bo Welch's production designs perfectly recaptured the end of the 1960s. As for the performances . . . what can I say? The cast gave some truly outstanding performances in this film. Will Smith was absolutely marvelous as the time traveling Agent J. I thought he gave one of his best performances in a role that required him to be funny and poignant at the same time. I suspect that he more or less carried the movie on his shoulders. But he had fine support from a wonderful Tommy Lee Jones, who allowed audiences another peek into a personality who hid his emotions behind a stoic mask. I just never thought his emotions would be directed at Smith's Agent J. And I never thought Spielberg and Sonnenfeld would find someone who not only could perfectly portray a younger Agent K, but create a similar screen dynamic with Smith. And Josh Brolin proved to be the man who did the job. He was fantastic. Emma Thompson portrayed Agent O, the new leader of the Men in Black agency. And I adored her performance, especially the scene that required her to give a eulogy for Zed at his memorial . . . in an alien language. Alice Eve was charming as the younger Agent O. She and Brolin had a nice chemistry going as two MIB agents attracted to one another. What can I say about Michael Stuhlbarg's performance as the precognitive alien, Griffin? Oh God, he was so wonderful. He portrayed Griffin with a delicious mixture of wisdom and naivety. I wanted to gather him in my arms and squeeze him like a teddy bear. Someone once commented (or complained) that New Zealand comic Jemaine Clement as the movie's main villain, Boris the Animal, was not funny. Frankly, Clement was a lot more scary than funny. But he did have one scene that left me rolling in the aisles with laughter - namely Boris' encounter with his younger self in 1969. Even more important, Clement portrayed Boris as one scary and resourceful villain. What else can I say about "MEN IN BLACK 3"? Sure, it had a few glitches regarding the plot and the two main characters' ages. But thanks to Etan Cohen's script that featured an outstanding time travel story, outstanding performances from a cast led by Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin; the movie turned out to be a first-rate addition to the franchise and one of my favorite movies from the summer of 2012. Thank you Barry Sonnenfeld! You had not lost your touch.

What's the difference between these cresian Wright's and the white robed ones like keon?

Wrights in the tall black hats are state wrights; soldiers generally, though the line is blurry in Cresce where pymary education is centralized. These are your foot soldiers; your standard issue spellwrights.

Then you have wrights who work for the Peaceguard, like Elka. They are a cut above, like FBI Agents compared to local cops.

Then you have the highest tier of state wright, the Aseptick. This is Keon. They are trusted with top tier tech and generally expected to police other wrights. You wouldn't see them on a battlefield, they are too important. But this also means they tend to be very specialized, and in the right circumstances can be overwhelmed.

When did Storm Shadow Become a Villain?

There is a scene in GI Joe Resolute where Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are having their obligatory Ninja Battle and (Spoilers I Guess) Storm Shadow reveals that he orchestrated his uncle, The Hard Master’s, death and that he fully meant to kill Snake Eyes as well, out of jealousy and because his uncle would not teach him the final secret to killing a man in seven steps, fearing that young Storm Shadow was too volatile and violent. Towards the end of the battle Storm Shadows wrist bands come off, revealing his Arashikage tattoo on one arm and a Cobra Sigil on the other.

This version of Storm Shadow (Voiced by “every Beagle Boy on Ducktales” Eric Bauza) stands out amongst his post-2000 incarnations as an unrepentant psychopath, but still falls in line with the prominent view of Storm Shadow as a villain--one of the main villains with a special hatred for his GI Joe counterpart.

This is the version I grew up with. GI Joe vs Cobra through Sigma 6 were the prominent Joe adaptations when I was the target demographic and all throughout Storm Shadow was a bad guy to varying degrees.

I knew in the classic Hama stuff he eventually defected, but I was not prepared for just how much he’s a heroic character from the start. There’s no big sword dual with Snake Eyes, no Anakin and Obi Wan style “friend turned bitter enemy” dynamic. It’s made clear from jump that Tommy is undercover in Cobra and remains an honorable man in search of justice. He leaves Cobra quickly and is branded as a Joe in all his figures until 2000--when they started packing their characters in two-packs with one Joe and one Cobra. In all appearances, Storm Shadow is more a Joe than a Cobra. So what led to the the modern view of Storm Shadow as a bad guy, who, even when he gets his redemption, still has a mean streak and a cruel manner? How did a character in a toy driven franchise who had more toys as a hero than a villain end up as one of the franchise’s most consistent villains?

*(For simplicity’s sake, this is only going to cover film and television portrayals of the character).

*Spoilers for pretty much every GI Joe adaptation to follow.

The first portrayal of Storm Shadow as Cobra Commander’s loyal and competent hatchet man (one of the few) is not too much older than Hama’s original Marvel version. The Sunbow version of Storm Shadow (voiced by “guy you’ve heard in everything” Keone Young) remained a loyal cobra agent--with none of the Hama version’s depth.

He had what you might call “standard cartoon Ninja honor” where he clearly had some kind of code of ethics, but was primarily an arrogant killer (as much as he could be in a cartoon) who fought primarily with Spirit and Quick Kick (voiced by wonderfully talented “guy you’ve seen in everything” Francois Chau) as Snake Eyes was largely shunted to the side in the cartoon. The echoes of Sunbow Storm Shadow can be seen in pretty much every non-comic adaptation that followed.

Skipping right over the Dic continuation of the Sunbow cartoon because Storm Shadow actually is a Joe in that, as he was in the comics and figures of the time (and because I haven’t seen it) we come to the 2000′s era.

The Spy Troops and Valor vs. Venom DTV movies had a Storm Shadow (voiced by “guy who got his blood ripped out by Magneto in X2: X-Men United” Ty Olsson) who was essentially his Sunbow self with one major change. He actually had a history with Snake Eyes, and a bitter rivalry. The details are not gone into in either film (you get a little more in the figure file cards and mini-comics of the era) but Storm Shadow accuses Snake Eyes of betraying the Arashikage. The implication being that either Storm Shadow blames Snake Eyes for some crime or another or that there was a schism in clan.

The File cards of the time movie go from acknowledging Storm Shadow’s time as a Joe, and claiming he’s working with Cobra again for unknown reasons, to establishing their own canon that Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were once best friends and “Sword Brothers” before Storm Shadow fell to the dark side and joined Cobra. Though Storm Shadow’s file card does end with the ominous implication that he’s got his own agenda in working with Cobra (just like his Hama incarnation) the DTV films imply that he’s a Cobra loyalist in addition to his feud with Snake Eyes.

Spy Troops and Valor vs. Venom lead in a semi-canonical way to GI Joe Sigma 6 where Storm Shadow (voiced by “guy whose only other role I recognize is pulling double duty as Zeke Stane and Living Laser in the Iron Man 3 videogame” Tom Wayland) more or less continues the previous two iterations’ version of Storm Shadow. He once again accuses Snake Eyes of some great betrayal that broke their friendship. The GI Joe website at the time includes the detail that Storm Shadow was infiltrating Cobra when he was brainwashed into becoming a loyal Cobra agent. It’s another concession, like his 2001 file card, to Hama’s heroic double agent, while still portraying him in line with Sunbow’s villainous henchman.

GI Joe Resolute comes next, where we see a departure from any pretense of Storm Shadow being a good guy. Resolute, in many ways, comes off as a gritty direct continuation of the Sunbow series, and it takes Sunbow’s villainous Storm Shadow and strips him of even the token bits of honor and humanity he had. It also, as near as I can tell, begins the trend of Storm Shadow outright resenting Snake Eyes, rather than being his one time friend.

As an irrelevant aside, I have my problems with Resolute but I do love everyone’s character designs and Eric Bauza does a fantastic job as one fourth of the cast. His Sean Connery impression for Destro is particularly inspired.

This brings us to the big ones. GI Joe: RIse of Cobra and GI Joe: Retaliation where Storm Shadow is brought to the big screen by Lee Byung-Hun (who I don’t have a snarky/informative aside for because shamefully despite how prolific he is I’ve only seen him in these movies and The Magnificent 7 remake) and as a child by Brandon Soo Hoo (he’s also been in a lot of stuff, but I particularly liked his turn as Beast Boy in the animated New 52 DC movies).

Lee’s Storm Shadow in the first film falls in line with his portrayals up to this point, probably skewing most closely towards Sunbow. He has a code of ethics (he doesn’t kill women apparently) but he’s still a bad guy and he seems to quite like it. Lee brings a charm to the character that had not really existed up until that point. He also spends a lot of time maskless (and it’s hard to blame the production team for that one, he’s a very handsome dude) which was a shock for anyone who grew up with the 2001 era storm shadow where the thought of him without a mask was so insane that it was relegated to a mail in figure (As a kid I seriously thought he had some Mandalorian style code of not removing it)

His origin in this version takes bits of Hama and bits of Resolute (or Resolute took from this, Resolute came out first but this might have been in development). It is, as far as I can tell, the first version to have Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes train together as children and it portrays Storm Shadow, even as a child, as an arrogant and jealous person.

Now, at least in my opinion, it’s fairly obvious that the first movie fully intended Storm Shadow to be a baddie, full stop. There’s a little wiggle room given that we never see him stab The Hard Master in the flashback (the Hard Master in this version is Storm Shadow’s father rather than his uncle) but the way he taunts Snake Eyes about it during their final confrontation makes a pretty compelling case for his having committed patricide.

The sequel would bring back elements of the Hama backstory. Zartan killed The Hard Master and Storm Shadow had to infiltrate Cobra to discover that. Given Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow are of roughly the same age (Storm Shadow being a bit older I think) and this event occurred when they were both children it’s unclear on who’s orders Zartan did this but we do know it was done to turn the already volatile young man into the perfect angry ninja assassin (given this canon is pretty much over we’ll probably never know for sure, but my guess based on the IDW movie universe comics is that Zartan either did it at the behest of the Red Ninja Clan or just to have a tiny assassin of his own, probably the former since they seem to regard each other as unpleasant colleagues who sometimes work together).

What I particularly like about this version is that, because the first movie portrayed him as this charmingly sadistic Bond Villain henchman, even after he switches sides in the sequel he’s still kind of a belligerent dick. It’s a fun piece of characterization that even once he’s cleared his name, avenged his father, and made his peace with his family, it doesn’t change the fundamental fact that he’s not a very nice person.

This is something that would persist into the next (and for the moment last, but more on that later) onscreen version of Storm Shadow.

GI Joe Renegades (the best GI Joe Cartoon, fight me) saw Storm Shadow (voiced by “holy crap this guy originated the role of Saw Gerrera in Clone Wars” Andrew Kishino) as the leader of the Arashikage Clan (explicitly a crime syndicate, harkening back to implications in Hama’s version) who operates independent of Cobra except very briefly and only to fulfill his own ends (again bringing him closer to Hama’s version than any of his predecessors). Falling in line with the implications of the movie and Resolute, he and Snake Eyes were uneasy classmates more than friends and trained together as teenagers. An attempt to kill Snake Eyes went awry and resulted in the death of the Hard Master (who again, seemed to favor Snake Eyes over his own nephew). Storm Shadow believes Snake Eyes to have killed The Hard Master(somehow failing to connect the dots given his own murder plan failed the same night Snake Eyes allegedly murdered his uncle--or hell he’s probably just in denial until the truth slaps him in the face).

Also, irrelevant aside number 2, in contrast with Resolute I really don’t like this character design. Renegades had pretty good character design all around, neatly bringing together various versions in a way that felt coherent but I don’t like the little tufts of hair sticking out of the mask or the way it kinda hangs in front of his mouth. Is he hiding his face or not? It seems like he’s not so much wearing a mask as a bandana and an oversized turtleneck.

This version neatly ties together the “Snake Eyes betrayed us” of the early 2000′s, the “arrogant unfavorite” of the mid 2000s and the “out for justice assassin” of Hama’s run. He is, again, an arrogant prick from the start, but his genuine shame and resolve to abandon his quest for vengeance and his extremely short partnership with Cobra make his eventual redemption (or the start of what you assume would have been a longer redemption arc had the series continued) more believable than the live action movies--if a mite less fun.

And that’s where it ends, at least until the much delayed Snake Eyes live action movie is finally released, where Storm Shadow is set to be played by “guy from the best episode of American Gods Season 2″ Andrew Koji. I quite like the look of the cast of this movie, and I’m excited to see what Koji brings to the role. Will Storm Shadow be arrogant, murderous, honorable, charming, brooding, misunderstood, cruel, vengeful...some impossible combination of all of the above? We’ll have to wait and see.

*Including the various alternate comic book versions probably would have painted a more complete picture, but I’ve only read Hama’s run and the IDW reboot (where Storm Shadow is kind of a non-entity), besides this was more about tracing Storm Shadow through the adaptations I watched as a kid.

*None of the adaptations seem to go with Hama’s original detail that Storm Shadow and Jinx were from Northern California. On the one hand I see why you transplant them to Japan with the rest of their family (it’s a globetrotting element and makes the cast more cosmopolitan) but I always liked the idea of that they were children of immigrants.

*Adaptations have been touch and go about casting Japanese actors in the role but I was impressed to find out that Sunbow cast Japanese Americans as both Storm Shadow and Jinx, making them probably the most faithful casting in relation to their original backstories.

*Apologies for my complete inability to get screenshots of roughly the same size or resolution.

The Last Bandito: Vulture Generation

Part Nine: Past & Present

Summary: Faylinn makes a decision; Keons visits Ildri again; Quinn finds a new hope. Warnings: Some angsty stuff? Lots of crying. Word Count: 1540 A/N: Book #2 of The Last Bandito series. Prompts are in bold; translations are from Google Translate.

Masterlist

The chaos in New York had continued from the moment the frenzy in Gavin’s office for several days, until company’s investor dinner party was over. Faylinn trudged up to her room in the city, tugged the earrings out of her ears and toed the shoes off of her feet before falling back on her unmade bed. She had made a decision, though she found herself feeling less than decisive about all of it.

The investors were heavily interested in her book; Faylinn wasn’t surprised. The Demas were well-known by name across the globe, but in detail? Even New Dema kept itself isolated from the rest of the world, for fear any details might get back to the Bishops.

“I know you’ve been on the edge about going forward with the publishing process,” Gavin told her in the cab on the way back to the hotel, “but tonight must have helped you decide. The investors, Faylinn, are dying to back this book. We’ve never had so much interest in a novel.”

Faylinn nodded and that had seemed to make the decision. Gavin snapped his fingers and grinned. He assured her that success was just around the corner. Soon, the whole world would know her name. Years of built up fear of the Bishops instinctively put her into a panic — calm on the surface, quaking inside.

“Maybe we should put the novel under a penname,” she suggested quietly.

Gavin tilted his head one way and then the other. He wasn’t sure what to say to that, but Faylinn knew he wasn’t going to argue. If he wanted the book published, some things were just going to have to go her way.

When the cab pulled up to the hotel, Gavin told the driver to keep the meter running. He followed Faylinn out of the cab and up to the sidewalk.

“Thank you, for being there tonight. I know you’re not big on crowds — or at least, seemed that way.”

Faylinn shrugged. “I’ve never been around that many people at once. Even a crowded place where I’m from doesn’t get that populated.”

Gavin chuckled and reached out to caress her face. Faylinn was too surprised to do anything but meet his eyes and force her lungs to continue functioning. Gavin’s smile was as nervous as Faylinn felt. His lips slowly brushed across hers before he pulled back.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, “if that was too forward. I’m a little caught up tonight.”

“No, it’s fine,” Faylinn whispered back.

Gavin nodded and kissed her check. “Have a good night.”

Somehow, in the duration of a cab ride, she had decided to go forward with publishing a very telling novel that could potentially bring her a lot of life-threatening success, and also potentially started something romantic with her publishing agent.

As she laid there on her unmade bed, in the midst of all of the new developments, all Faylinn could think about was the Heathen from her dreams.

A yelling match with Tyler over what he was thinking, giving himself up to the Bishops, left Ildri feeling no more settled than she had the moment Tyler was safely with them again. He couldn’t give her one straight answer, and his reasons were all over the place.

“Do you even know why you did it?” Ildri demanded. “Do you know what I gave up, what I went through, to get you out of Old Dema, just for you to go running back when things got too hard here!”

“I am under no obligation to make sense to you!” Tyler yelled back.

He had never spoken to her that way; it wasn’t part of their dynamic. Not when they were younger, not now. His eyes glowed red, reminding Ildri that her friend was, in fact, not the same one who had been taken from her when they were children.

Clenching her teeth to control the threat of tears, Ildri grabbed for her jacket, pushing her arms through the sleeves as she stormed out of the tent and further into Trench. She walked to where they often found Heathens and humans alike running from Old Dema — or sometimes, now, New Dema — when they got turned around for one reason or another and couldn’t find their way to the Bandito camp. More than one of them, she hated to say, had been retrieved by one Bishop or another before the Banditos were able to find them.

So, it was no surprise to Ildri when she heard hoofbeats rushing up behind her. She closed her eyes and wondered if this would be the visit during which Keons would smear her and drag her back to Old Dema to do with her whatever the Bishops had been planning the last three decades.

The horse stopped a few feet behind her. Ildri did not turn until she heard the Bishop jump down from the saddle.

“Keons.”

“Dochka,” Keons greeted, nodding once. The word made Ildri’s stomach churn. “You and your cohorts stopped a very important capture from happening today. I applaud you for it.”

Ildri again clenched her jaw. She was angry and confused and felt like control was slipping from her fingertips. “He was never meant to be yours. You only took him to get to me. You cannot tell me taking him this time was any different. You’ve had me within reach several times now; why don’t you just take me? I am so tired of the back and forth!”

The smirk being Keons’s mesh veil annoyed Ildri to no end. “Your mother often asked me a similar question — why we had spared her but not your father. We had to let you live, of course, but she believed we could have saved you if you were born before the appropriate time. She did not understand why we would put her in comfort and allow you to come safely into the world.” He paused. “The truth is, timing is everything, and ours is never short of perfect.”

Keons turned to get back on his horse, but Ildri called after him. The Bishop took a moment to consider staying or going, finally turning back towards her.

“Leave him out of this.”

The smirk appeared again behind the veil as Keons mounted his horse and took off for Old Dema without another word.

Ildri took the long way around back to the camp. She had to collect herself, even if her thoughts were still going in every different direction possible. By the time she returned to the camp, she had unclenched her jaw but was still garnering stares from the others sitting around the fire, outside the tents, everywhere. Ildri didn’t care, she went straight for her tent where Tyler was laying back on his bed, his arm over his eyes.

Ildri shed her jacket, laying it across the foot of her bed. She let out a deep breath and leaned forward on her knees.

“Keons won’t be a problem anymore. I told him to leave you out of it. This is about me, Tyler, it’s not about you. You can’t make it about you because it’s — it’s not.”

Tyler’s arm fell to the side. He stared at the ceiling of the tent for a full minute before he pulled himself into a sitting position. He matched her, elbows on his knees. Ildri didn’t want to look at him, not with the tears finally winning the battle against her. Tyler pushed away from the bed and moved to stand in front of her. He pulled her arms into his view.

“What are you doing?” she whispered, too afraid that if she spoke at a normal level, her voice would break.

“Show me your scars,” he said.

“But … why?”

“I want to see how many times you needed me and I wasn’t there,” he whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek. “That’s all this was about, Ildri. I was gone for too long. There were too many times you were unprotected. I thought — I thought I could protect you.”

Ildri pulled her arms from his hands and threw them around Tyler’s neck. Together, they finally cried it out over the past years they had lost, and future years that were far too uncertain.

“They’ve figured it out.”

Quinn looked up from the book she was reading to see Berit in the doorway, waiting for a response. Quinn donned a mask and tossed the book to the side.

“You’re — you’re serious?”

Berit nodded, stepping into the room. “We’ve just gotten word, directly from The Conference. The scientists have found a cure, Quinn.”

Suddenly, Quinn couldn’t breathe. The mask moved in and out with her gasps as she backed up to the bed. Berit grabbed for an oxygen mask and pulled Quinn’s mask away to get her some air.

“Breathe, slowly,” Berit instructed, “look at me. You’re okay. You’re going to be okay. Quinn — you’re going to be okay.”

Quinn nodded and pulled the oxygen mask away from her face. She leaned in to Berit as she continued to cry. She was scared to grasp on to this new hope, afraid to be let down in the end, but with no one and nothing else to hold onto, what else could she do?

In Defense of Joe Cronin...

Blazers fans are fickle.

Tanking was a shirt that never completely fit Rip City. This is a fanbase used to playoff appearances—not a stretch of basketball that was so bleak that it wounded many, causing them to expect an OG-type bounty in return for their pain.

So when Joe Cronin's offseason manifested in a trade for Jerami Grant, the return of Anfernee Simons and Jusef Nurkic, role player Gary Payton II ('another 6-3 guard!'), and draftees Shaedon Sharpe and Jabari Walker, it caused some to react with a resounding, 'Wait, that's it?"

The reality is that Joe Cronin's 'asset management approach' were merely the first part of a multi-phase process—dodging the repeater luxury tax and backing the team out of the ditch that Neil Olshey had put the roster in over several years.

So what follows is an attempt at a clear-eyed defense of GM Joe Cronin, responding to actual anecdotes shared by some in the fanbase.

"Cronin promised contention!"

No. He promised he’d retool around Dame, but that it would take multiple trade windows.

"Actually he—"

No. It was in the deadline press conference. Go back and watch it. He said that it takes longer to rebuild than to blow it up. Nothing about that presser screamed ‘we’re about to go all-in’.

Portland got Grant, Sharpe and GP2 and sent out nearly nothing. They kept all of their key assets and added 3 rotation players.

"That’s copium. Cronin is just like Olshey. That Robert Covington/Norm Powell trade was terrible."

That trade was lopsided, yes. Putting aside the fact that it appears the Vulcans had a gun to Cronin's head to dodge the repeater—look at it this way: Bledsoe was never going to fetch the player of your dreams. It would have brought back a guy like Julius Randle or someone else not worth blowing up the locker room for. Robert Covington wasn’t coming back and clearly didn’t want to be in Portland (Winslow was debatably in the same ballpark as RoCo before they shut him down, and they took on his cheap contract.) Keon Johnson is a young player that could be included in a trade. Norm Powell, whose contract no one wanted to touch, has already been replaced by GP2. And they got a TPE out of it if they want to use part of it.

"Cronin is eliminating the chance of contending this season."

How, exactly, would that happen with their available assets? Anfernee Simons was the team's best trade chip and he was a Restricted Free Agent. Nurkic was UFA. Nassir Little is coming off of an injury. All of Joe Cronin's trade chips are on the shelf. You really think a team wants to send out its awesome players for Eric Bledsoe’s corpse, an injured Nasir Little #7, and future stuff? That package gets so much better next season.

"Meh. This is the same team from last year."

They’re going to have 12 new players on the team and 6 new rotation players compared to opening night last year. That’s a TON of new (more defensive) pieces for Chauncey to integrate. Dame hasn’t played with most of last season’s players yet.

"The hard cap significantly limited the Blazers abilities to make a trade."

The big trade targets would have cost Portland draft capital they don’t have, and they would have had to trade assets that haven’t reached maturation yet (like Ant/Nas, who will play a lot of minutes this year and likely increase their value). It makes more sense for Portland to do the ‘Big Swing’ next season anyway, when they have access to Ant/Nurk as trade pieces and could S&T Nas to match salary. And they still have the TPEs to grab a smaller asset for a team looking to free up space or roster spots. A GP2 in hand is worth two in the play-in.

"Portland overpaid for Ant."

The cap is about to go way up and he’s about to increase his value on the market by playing a ton of minutes this year. By the end of his deal, Ant will be a good value—either as a contributor or a trade piece.

"Portland overpaid for Nurkic."

It’s still unclear how much of Nurkic’s deal is incentives and whether there’s a team option on the 4th year. Nurkic’s deal could also be useful to match salary. At the end of the day, they kept an asset instead of letting him walk for nothing.

"Portland overpaid for GP2."

Check Warriors Twitter. They’re pissed. Portland has bird rights on one of the best point of attack defenders in the league and a guy who will play fantastically in Chauncey’s PNR defensive scheme. He could even be useful closing games depending on matchups and help mitigate Dame’s defense in the backcourt.

"Keeping their pick? BUT THE DAME CONTENTION WINDOW..."

Small market teams have always built through the draft. It’s possible Portland saw Sharpe as the easiest way to get a great player. Portland got GP2 and kept 7 instead of trading down to get a fringe asset and a worse prospect.

Dame asking Cronin to go all-in immediately would have spelled doom for Portland.

"Jerami Grant is a meh fit."

Portland traded a couple of seconds and a late, late first to get him, without sending anything of value out. That’s a win. He’s debatably the best PF Dame has played with since Aldridge left.

"WHY NOT HARTENSTEIN?"

Portland is already dropping 15.5M on the center position this offseason. Some teams don’t even have true backup centers (his former team!). Eubanks is fine as a 3rd string guy, and if worse comes to worse, they can sign a backup big during the season.

"Cronin said he has a plan but he doesn't have a plan. He's contradicting himself."

That's selective listening.

Step back, and realize that the incremental improvement of the young players are probably going to fill out the back half of the roster. Portland's trade assets will be flush next offseason, and they’ll have ALL of their picks. THAT's the moment to go all-in. Not when most of their trade assets is coming off of injury or are free agents.

This team will play a more entertaining brand of basketball next year, it will contend for the playoffs, and you'll get to watch a completely revamped roster featuring a lottery pick and a bunch of developing players—that's really fun.
