Why your best life isn't about having the right answers, but about asking the right questions.Finding meaning and purpose in life isn't about having all the answers. For Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, it's about having the courage and curiosity to constantly engage with the questions.As designers, Burnett and Evans have careers spanning everything from academia to companies like Apple, Electronic Arts, and Hasbro. But beyond fashioning better products and user experiences, they've also put their expertise toward the transcendent, writing several books about designing and living lives filled with meaning and purpose.“Compasses say North, not Seattle,” says Evans, highlighting how many mistakenly think of purpose as a single destination. “We're all a dynamic, flowing, constantly changing thing. So how could a changing thing have one static right answer?” Instead, he and Burnett maintain that meaning is more about “going the right direction, not [finding] the right destination.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnett and Evans join host Matt Abrahams to explore their strategies for leading a purposeful life. Rather than “rehearsing [an] answer,” their method involves “living [a] question” — embracing curiosity and designing a life through dialogue with ourselves and with others.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Bill BurnettDave EvansBill and Dave's Book: How to Live a Meaningful LifeEp.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & WellbeingEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:02) - Meaning & Purpose as a Direction (01:42) - Coherence & Living in Alignment (02:23) - Design Thinking for Life Decisions (03:56) - Prototyping Conversations (05:29) - Odyssey Plans: Three Possible Futures (07:33) - The Four Elements of Meaning (09:22) - Wonder Glasses: Shifting Perspective (10:48) - Transactional vs. Flow World (12:36) - How to Build a Formative Community (13:59) - The Practice-to-Production Trap (15:07) - The Final Three Questions (18:35) - Conclusion

In this episode of Band of Traders, Kyle and Dan take a live, unscripted tour through Polymarket, using it as a lens for market psychology, narrative formation, and content discovery.What starts as curiosity about how prediction markets work quickly turns into a broader discussion about how these markets price probability, react to news, and create opportunities for thinking in options-style frameworks. Along the way, they explore everything from corporate earnings and central bank leadership to geopolitics, AI bubbles, celebrity culture, sports, and even chess championships.Rather than treating Polymarket as a place to make bets, the conversation treats it as a real-time map of what people believe, fear, and expect to happen next—and how that information can be mined for ideas, trades, and better questions.Chapters & Timestamps:00:00 – Intro and why Polymarket caught their attention02:30 – How prediction markets work and how pricing is formed05:20 – Hasbro, Wizards of the Coast, and investor trust08:40 – Using Polymarket like an options market11:10 – Central banks, Jerome Powell, and event-driven trades13:30 – Geopolitics and leadership change markets17:00 – The AI bubble question and defining “burst”20:10 – Event rules, edge cases, and market interpretation22:30 – Culture, media, and prediction markets24:40 – Movies, celebrities, and narrative betting27:00 – Sports, chess, and long-shot probabilities30:30 – Hedging outcomes and probability ranges33:30 – What Polymarket reveals about collective belief36:00 – Closing thoughts and parting adviceSubscribe, share, and join the trading conversations on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Discord!Sponsors and FriendsOur podcast is sponsored by Sue Maki at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).

Paul and Alec discuss the Yu-Gi-Oh roadmap for Genesys format and beyond, the big lawsuit against Hasbro for mismanaging Magic the Gathering, and the recent internet debate around comic books and manga!

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that proves nostalgia is just disappointment with better branding.Today's episode kicks off with the downfall of childhood “investments,” as Magic: The Gathering collectors accuse Hasbro of flooding the market and tanking card values — which immediately sends the crew spiraling into baseball card trauma. Remember when a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was supposed to pay for college, a house, and early retirement? Yeah… about that.From there, things take a turn toward the supernatural when we ask the important question: can a rock band curse an NBA team? After an arena employee blames a satanic-looking concert for the Orlando Magic's losing streak, we dive headfirst into modern Satanic Panic, Ghost's spooky theatrics, and whether teams should sage their arenas instead of practicing defense.Then it's off to Westeros, where the new Game of Thrones spinoff raises serious questions — like where everyone goes to the bathroom, why HBO is obsessed with realism in the weirdest ways, and whether giant fake dongs are now part of the network's brand strategy. Things escalate quickly as the crew debates gratuitous nudity, legacy characters, and which original GoT character would theoretically win a very unnecessary competition.The back half of this daily comedy show delivers a full round of Crap on Celebrities, including music collabs, Super Bowl ads released way too early, outrageous ticket prices, Dirty Dancing sequels, James Bond movies that aged like milk, and a Ken doll promo video that is genuinely unsettling. Add birthdays, pop culture hot takes, and classic Rizz Show derailments, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode.If you like your pop culture commentary sarcastic, your nostalgia roasted, and your comedy slightly concerned for humanity — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Rizzuto Show, the chaos begins at home when Rizzuto learns the hard way that “I got this” is not a substitute for training, tools, or common sense. What starts as a slightly off-track garage door quickly turns into a full-blown mechanical disaster involving bent pliers, fallen rollers, and the inevitable call to a professional who definitely judged him. From there, the confessions pour in — abandoned self-improvement goals, a dusty notebook labeled “Chapter One,” a sourdough starter that refuses to die, and financial decisions that now live in the “we don't talk about that” category.The show then zooms out to the larger failures we all share, including the soul-crushing realities of adulthood, homeownership surprises, third-shift vampire lifestyles, bad leadership, and raises so small they may as well be spread with a butter knife. Somewhere in the middle of all this, nostalgia sneaks in and emotionally uppercuts everyone as Rizzuto admits to crying in his underwear while watching old commercials that hit harder than therapy ever could.As if that weren't enough, the crew pivots into full pop culture chaos — childhood “investments” like trading cards collapsing in real time, satanic-looking concerts allegedly cursing sports teams, and HBO continuing its aggressive commitment to realism in the weirdest ways possible. Celebrity news, questionable marketing decisions, unnecessary nudity debates, and modern entertainment absurdities all get their moment in the spotlight.Then, just when you think things can't get more unhinged, trivia enters the chat. Matchup returns, and with it comes misplaced confidence, wildly incorrect answers, zodiac signs being publicly humiliated, Marco Polo logic that makes sense to no one, and historical facts taking repeated direct hits. Nobody truly wins, but everyone loses with confidence — which somehow feels very on brand.This is The Rizzuto Show at its best: funny, self-aware, slightly concerned for humanity, and completely comfortable being wrong as long as it's entertaining. If you've ever been confident, nostalgic, cursed, or loudly incorrect — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOResearch City:‘Did you forget about us?': Riverview streets still covered after weekend snowNIGHT & DAY Night shift workers see just 29 minutes of daylight on a working day, new study findsWhy you'll get a ‘peanut butter raise' this year: What it means and how much to expect?Hasbro is being sued by its own shareholders for printing so many damn Magic cards, 'destroying the long-term value of the brand'Ghost Accused Of ‘Super Satanic' Curse After NBA Loss, Because Of Course They WereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizzuto fails the hard way that confidence is not the same thing as competence. In this episode of The Rizzuto Show, a slightly off-track garage door becomes a full-on life lesson when a “simple fix” turns into a catastrophic collapse involving bent pliers, fallen rollers, and one very humbling phone call to the professionals.What follows is a brutally honest (and hilarious) breakdown of everything that should not be done by normal humans without training — garage doors, electricity, plumbing, and apparently adulthood itself. From there, the show spirals beautifully into the Personal Failure Folder, where Rizzuto confesses to abandoned Duolingo dreams, a dusty notebook labeled “Chapter One,” a sourdough starter that survived since 2020, and crypto money that may as well be buried treasure.The crew dives into the real cost of homeownership, the soul-sucking realities of third-shift work, and the vampire lifestyle of never seeing daylight. They talk about snowed-in neighborhoods, leadership disasters, peanut butter raises at work, and why companies spread money like a sad layer of Skippy across too much bread.Somehow, this funny podcast also finds time to explore nostalgia-induced emotional breakdowns as Rizzuto admits to crying in his underwear while watching 1980s commercials on YouTube. Big Red gum, Zest soap, and Doublemint jingles unlock memories that hit harder than any self-help book ever could.It's a classic Rizz Show episode — equal parts self-roast, therapy session, social commentary, and warning label. If you've ever said “I got this” right before everything fell apart, this funny podcast is for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.‘Did you forget about us?': Riverview streets still covered after weekend snowNIGHT & DAY Night shift workers see just 29 minutes of daylight on a working day, new study findsWhy you'll get a ‘peanut butter raise' this year: What it means and how much to expect?Hasbro is being sued by its own shareholders for printing so many damn Magic cards, 'destroying the long-term value of the brand'Ghost Accused Of ‘Super Satanic' Curse After NBA Loss, Because Of Course They WereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nancy is annoyed that Joey gives her crap for trying new things but doesn’t do that to Karly. Karly signed up for a Jui Jitsu class as a “side quest,” and Joey has said nothing. But he judged Nancy for things like being obsessed with a blender. NASA is sending 4 astronauts to the moon on a 10-day orbit mission! Karly is nerding out over it, but Nancy says it would be boring. Hot Tea: Bill Belichick was NOT inducted into the football hall of fame, and people think he was snubbed. Bruce Willis’ wife says Bruce doesn’t know he has dementia, and she is glad. Rhode Island is considering discontinuing their Mr. Potato Head themed charity license plate because the Hasbro headquarters is moving to another state. Karly is worried that she is getting addicted to nose spray. She has been using decongestant nose spray for her sinuses for six days now. You aren’t supposed to use it more than 4 days in a row because it can make you addicted or dependent on it. Lots of people called and texted either in the same boat as Karly or telling her to stop and use an alternative. Lucky 7 for $50 to Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants Joey is butthurt because he can no longer see his brother Jesse’s location. We called Jesse to talk about it. It turns out that Joey has been stalking Jesse and randomly texting him about where he is. Example: “how’s you walk at the park?” and “Why are you sitting in your driveway?” The two Superbowl teams are refusing to practice at the 49er’s facilities because of a big conspiracy theory. The theory is that a substation near the facilities is causing injuries because of electromagnetism? What Makes You Special? I am on Season Two of Extracted, a Survival Show on FOX.

Play NowThe Twincast / Podcast starts out episode 393 with more impressions about the recently announced and revealed Takara Tomy releases, beginning with the upcoming Missing Link Grimlock. Full images of MPG-20 Hot Rod then have the cast questioning the role of "Style Gen" within the Masterpiece lineup. A quick stop at Hasbro's recently posted reissue preorders for Studio Series Hound and Swoop lead in to a lengthy slate of listener questions. The questions start by asking about how many uses the new Seeker mold will see, then jump to other various topics including Nexus Prime, Cybertronian creation myths, super-powered Transformers, and finally, alt-mode re-shells the cast would like to see. After all the questions, the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment brings the episode to a close in usual fashion.

Episode 155 of Nintendo Therapy is packed with Switch 2 chaos and cozy Nintendo vibes. We talk DLC, backlog victories, and whether Doug Bowser needs a new name now that he's on Hasbro's board. Then we dig into huge news: Switch 2's record-breaking launch in Japan, Wizard101 unexpectedly dominating the eShop, Dispatch becoming an episodic indie monster, major Mario Wonder and Donkey Kong updates, and how impressive (and important) FF7 Remake Intergrade is on Switch 2. Plus, Year of the Backlog check-ins, Metroid Prime thoughts, and a deep dive into Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.

Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) has been sued by shareholders for overproducing Magic: The Gathering cards, as shareholders argue they've massively devalued and diluted brand value. They also cite Hasbro dumping MTG cards off in landfills as a reason to believe they have violated their fiduciary responsibilities. Get popcorn.

What happens when someone who grew up in the Lucasfilm Games golden era decides that today's AI tools are failing creatives? Mike Levine has spent more than 30 years building at the intersection of games, XR, VFX, and interactive storytelling—and his verdict is clear: the current AI stack is a fragmented, overcomplicated mess that turns directors into prompt engineers.Mike started as a tester at Lucasfilm Games (later LucasArts), working his way into the art department on titles like Sam & Max and The Dig before helping ship live-action Star Wars games such as Rebel Assault and Jedi Knight II. He later built rotoscoping tools used across the VFX industry, collaborated with ILM and Pixar, experimented with mobile AR games for Hasbro and HoloLens, and dipped into crypto gaming—before finally co-founding MovieFlow (now FilmSpark), an AI-native production platform designed so that filmmakers, agencies, and showrunners can move from script to screen without needing a computer science degree.The AI XR news you should know: Apple taps Google Gemini to power Siri, acknowledging that building world-class LLMs in-house makes little financial sense. Meta cuts 10% of Reality Labs, right-sizing its VR bets while pivoting toward wearables. Xreal raises another $100M amid questions about Chinese state influence and data flows. Higgs Field lands $80M at a $1.3B valuation for AI cinematography tools that many filmmakers still find unreliable. Wikipedia signs licensing deals with major AI companies after years of being scraped for free. OpenAI invests $252M in Sam Altman–backed Merge Labs, raising fresh conflict-of-interest questions.Key Moments Timestamps:[00:23:02] From Boston journalist-to-be to accidental hire at Lucasfilm Games[00:26:24] The “test pit” culture at Lucas and how Nintendo experience got Mike in the door[00:28:45] Moving into the art department, learning Photoshop from early legends, and shipping Sam & Max[00:31:15] Live-action Star Wars games: Rebel Assault, Jedi Knight II, and convincing George Lucas[00:34:38] Visiting Pixar with new VFX tools and recognizing the same creative “magic” as LucasArts[00:36:24] Doug Trumbull's influence on Mike's sense of cinematic possibility and immersion[00:43:27] The urinal meeting at Magic Leap and what early spatial computing got right (and wrong)[00:49:00] Why most AI tools are “dark ages” for filmmakers: node graphs, 10+ subscriptions, no story view[00:51:00] Building MovieFlow/FilmSpark: story-first, timeline-based AI production for long-form and vertical shows[00:53:00] The Neighborhood Podcast: a 90-second vertical murder mystery as proof-of-concept for AI-native seriesWhen humans can generate shots, scenes, and even entire episodes in minutes, the bottleneck shifts from production to vision. Mike argues that the winning AI tools will be the ones that let directors see their whole story, maintain continuity, and iterate fast—without ever feeling like they left the edit bay for a dev console. His vertical drama collaboration with Charlie, The Neighborhood Podcast, is an early look at what happens when narrative craft meets AI-native pipelines instead of fighting them.This episode is brought to you by Zapar creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences.

What are you thoughts from todays episode?

Before Gymboree became a cultural icon in the 80s and 90s, it was just one lonely new mom trying to find connection. Joan Barnes started hosting weekly playgroups for parents… and demand exploded. What began as a diversion became a business. Then a franchise. Then a brand everyone seemed to know, with its padded playrooms and parachute games. From the outside, it looked like a runaway success: hundreds of locations, glowing press coverage, celebrity buzz. But inside, the franchise model was failing. A potential Hasbro rescue vanished overnight. And Joan—while smiling for the world—was breaking under the pressure.Then came a major pivot that helped turn Gymboree around. The company was going to survive, but Joan realized she might not. She stepped away for good, to fight for her health. In this episode, Joan talks frankly about building Gymboree, losing control of it, and learning some vital lessons about ambition, balance, and humility. What You'll LearnThe hidden math of franchising: when scale makes you weaker, not strongerHow—years before social media—Joan used the media as her marketing engine The moment Gymboree nearly died—and the brilliant pivot that saved itWhat it feels like to be celebrated publicly while privately falling apartWhy “more hustle” can be a trapTimestamps: (Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)[08:20] “Lonely and isolated”—The new-mom need that sparked Joan's first playgroup[13:43] The early days: parachute games, circle songs, and connecting with other parents[16:59] The first, $3,000 investment, and expanding to new venues.[23:08] Learning the hard way: “I didn't even know what franchise meant.” [38:40] Joan discovers her business model has a terrifying Catch-22[45:05] A humiliating gut punch: Hasbro calls off a life-saving deal [50:15] The pivot to profitability: play centers + clothing stores[1:03:00] Success on the outside, collapse on the inside: panic, addiction, treatment [1:14:17] After Gymboree: yoga studios, recovery, and redefining successHey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

This week, the Five Idiots' conversation quickly turns to the suspicious phenomenon of Star Wars Retro Collection "prototypes" flooding online groups for massive prices ($500+), all while coming from multiple sellers in different countries.The Five Idiots are back for another episode of Five Idiots Talking Toys!

We break down the questionable authenticity, the unbelievable prices, and the bizarre market tactics. Plus, we start the show with a quick chat about our favorite Lord of the Rings movies!In this episode:• Are collectors getting duped by a price bubble?• Why are modern figures selling for more than vintage prototypes?• The problem with non-public, private "deal made" prices.0:00 Introduction & Lord of the Rings Talk4:52 The Star Wars Retro Prototype Phenomenon7:58 What is the Retro Collection and Why Prototypes?14:00 Absurd Prices: Why $800 for a Modern Figure?25:55 Sketchy Private Deals & Market Manipulation33:59 Comparing Vintage & Modern Prototype Value40:34 Final Thoughts & Outro#RetroCollectionPrototypes #ModernToyCollecting #StarWarsTestShot #StarWarsCollector #ToyCollecting #ActionFigurePrototype #FITT #StarWarsRetro #ToyScam #ActionFigures-----------------------

In today's video, I'm diving into the iconic Queen Amidala dolls released by Hasbro in 1999, inspired by Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. From the unforgettable red throne gown to the elaborate headdresses, embroidery, and regal details, these dolls are some of the most stunning — and underrated — movie dolls of the late 90s.I break down:✨ Which Queen Amidala dolls were released✨ Why these dolls stood out from other Star Wars figures at the time✨ How Hasbro approached fashion, sculpting, and deluxe packaging✨ Why Padmé/Amidala dolls disappeared so quickly✨ And why collectors still hunt these dolls down todayThese dolls were a rare moment when Star Wars met high fashion, and they remain some of the most visually striking sci-fi dolls ever produced. Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan, a doll collector, or just love iconic 90s toy history, this deep dive is for you.Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@britneyspearscustomdolls⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iconicdollcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Iconicdollcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Do you think these toy companies are changing for the good or for the worse? They seem to be dialing into the fandom, but at the same time, pricing many of us out of our casual lines. We'll have to see the price of these new Joe / TMNT crossovers, but they have definitely sparked collector interest. Transformers is attacking on every front, but those prices. The most exciting Star Wars news is from LEGO, but again, man, the prices. Finally, the best things from MOTU are 3rd party homages at a relatively reasonable price.

What does it take to turn around a beloved brand during a "retail apocalypse" AND a global pandemic? Sharon Price John, President and CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop, did exactly that—leading the company to five consecutive years of record results while staying true to its mission of "adding a little more heart to life."In this episode, I speak with Sharon Price John, who's spent over 30 years shaping iconic brands—from Barbie and Transformers at Mattel and Hasbro to Stride Rite footwear, and now Build-A-Bear. Since 2013, Sharon has completely reinvented Build-A-Bear's business model, expanding beyond malls, scaling e-commerce, entering entertainment, and growing the consumer base so that 40% of sales now come from teens and adults.Here's the fascinating part: Sharon spent years underestimating herself. She worked McDonald's drive-throughs, Lee Jeans night shifts, flower shops—and kept thinking she was about to hit the wall. High school was easy, so college would be where she'd fail. College was fine, so her first job would be it. Got her MBA at Columbia thinking, "This is where it ends." It never did. She finally realized she'd been shooting too low the entire time.When Sharon joined Build-A-Bear, the brand had mid-90s awareness but was struggling. She saw the equity was trapped—stuck in malls, stuck targeting only kids. Her vision? Transform it from a mall retailer into a branded IP company with multiple revenue streams. Then COVID hit. They shut down 100% of stores in 48 hours. But Sharon's team pivoted fast, moved with imperfect information, and came out strong.How to Reinvent Like Sharon:You're not supposed to know everything about the next step—that's the point. If you knew everything, it wouldn't be growth. Embrace not knowing.Stop catastrophizing—what's the actual worst that can happen? Sharon was terrified to move to New York. Worst case? She'd come back exactly where she was. Do this exercise every time.The stories you tell yourself are usually wrong. Stop carrying disempowering baggage from past "failures" that probably aren't even based in reality.Learn how your entire company makes money. Be curious. Visit every department. When you understand the interconnections, you can connect dots others miss.When you're young, you're recoverable. Taking risks early is strategic. Stop letting fear keep you from trying.Build trust before you need it. Sharon's team could pivot during COVID because they'd already built credibility through years of solid strategy.Connect with Sharon: Find Build-A-Bear at buildabear.comRead "Stories & Heart" on Amazon at https://a.co/d/3qSQcnKConnect with Sharon on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-price-john-26239820THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

White - Venom Unleashed #15 uncut!Let's dig into our two poll questions. The first was:Jordan hinted that one moment in Death Spiral has been locked in since the very beginning of planning the event. What are you most excited to see when that moment arrives?A whopping 40% said they'd like to see a major MJ's symbiote relationship (30.8% said a big Eddie vs. Carnage throwdown). Given how strongly readers responded to the idea of Mary Jane's symbiote journey, what was it about pairing MJ with a symbiote that felt essential to Death Spiral, and how early did that relationship start shaping the story?AIPT: For the second poll, we asked:Jordan suggests MJ might be shifting from “anti-hero” to something else entirely. What do YOU think her 2026 role will look like?Over 50% of the answers said they want something they haven't even guessed yet (second place was a full street-level hero arc with 32%). Might they be on the right track? AIPT: Venom #253 is out now (January 7th), and with it's a whole new ballgame with AIM. Madame Masque is a character not often used, at least in the last decade. Might you have a favorite story she's kicked butt in?AIPT: And for our monthly gotcha question: What's a better TV show, Buddies or Friends?Onto fan questions:Spencer asks: What can you tell us about Torment?One more about Torment from Patrick: Was the name of Death Spiral's villain, Torment, inspired by the Todd McFarlane story, or is it a coincidence that the name has a history with Spider-Man?Ol' Monster-Face asks: Last time you got asked about taking the story in a space opera direction… What about a Wild West theme? "Death Spiral" does look like it could set up a classic "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" standoff…Barrett asks: With two big Spider / Symbiote events coming up very soon will the main ASM book and Venom books both be tie-ins for the foreseeable future?Anonomous asks: Will Dylan and Sleeper be an important role in Death Spiral? They are related to both Eddie and the Venom symbiote after all.Murphy asks: Did you look at any prior stories when writing the Rick Jones and Toxin bond? It reminds me of the relationship he had with Genis, especially when he went off the rails.Garlador asks: As a repository of host memories, Venom is uniquely aware of many characters current conflicted feelings - Peter, MJ, Eddie, Dylan, Flash, etc. That's been an off-limits locked box issue with MJ, but can we expect to see Venom share more of prior hosts' buried feelings with her soon, or is that too messy for now?RadiantBlue asks: Which Venom host is your favorite?Midnighter82 asks: Symbie, Spider-Man's symbiote companion in his galactic adventure, is he bound to a host or not? Jimmy has a food and calories question: So, what is it like for Mary Jane in her daily life? The symbiote probably weighs at least twice her weight and leaves a bunch of goop all over after fights, so presumably that would be lots more food than she would be used to having.Anonomous asks: Its kinda frustrating seeing VENOM everywhere and no Carnage. If you could would you tackle a carnageverse? Besides the Anne Lethal Protector universe, are there worlds where carnage is an anti-hero? Jeduwin asks: As a fan of Eventuality, how much is it kept in mind when you're writing Eddie Brock? Its existence seems like it shifts where Eddie's stories are headed, since all roads lead to the King in Black.Another Flash question from Symbiobro: In All-New Venom #10, we got to see a deep dive into both MJ's and the symbiotes relationship with Eddie, but Flash Thompson also played a big role in both these people's lives. Can we expect a similar delve into how he helped shape the symbiote into what it is today?
