Snowflake Challenge 2024 - challenge 9
Challenge #9 Rec Us Your Newest Thing
Hmm. A lot of my current stuff is recurring, new seasons of shows I'd already been watching, movies I've seen before/next in franchise, or older shows which are new to me but old hat to others.

I fell in love with the character of Domingo Chavez in the final season of Jack Ryan last year and requested the character for Yuletide and did get matched on it so that was fun :) I couldn't find a gif so instead here's an image; I made this "name" poster for part of a

I watched and enjoyed "Fast X" at the weekend, Jason Momoa was a fun villain camping it up in a movie that embraces it's silliness and over-the-top action scenes while retaining the key theme of Family in all the ways the characters understand that.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the rebooted "Gladiators" which has moved to BBC. Bradley Walsh and his son host and the whole thing is very much leaning into the over to top cheesiness against the adrenaline fuelled backdrop and it's capturing a lot of the nostalgia crowd and younger fans. Might even encourage children to take up more exercise!

YES! I enjoyed it so much. I watched out of nostalgia as I always used to watch the old version with my family, but ended up enjoying this one just as much. I loved how OTT and ridiculous the whole show was, but in a very good way.

I'm glad to hear someone else is enjoying it :D It's definitely not taking itself seriously and it gives such a fun vibe!

People were moaning that the Gladiators were all too nice, but I bet they will fall into roles soon and start playacting. I thought Viper and Legend were good at their parts already.
Looking forward to the next episode!

I remember people saying 'Wolf isn't a very convincing villain' in the last series, but now all they say is 'Wolf wouldn't do that, he was much better than Viper.' etc. 😂
Legend is really showing off isn't he, it's fun!😅

And I can barely walk but if you put me in front the Eliminator, I would not be able to resist LMAO
no subject
LOL, I think everyone's fave is the Eliminator even though we'd struggle to get up it. I think the patterns on the moving surface make it even more of a challenge!
