Comic legend Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet, Batman Death In The Family) joins Dave to discuss the upcoming Dreadstar vs Dreadstar Kickstarter. Starlin shares stories from the New York studio scene of the 1970s, Walt Simonson's spoilers, learning from Howard Chaykin, collaborating with Bernie Wrightson, and how early encouragement from Steve Ditko kept him drawing. The two explore Starlin's fascination with death, pushing against the institutional systems, his take on the MCU Infinity Saga, and the harsh economics of Marvel that had artists selling original art at bargain prices just to cover the rent. He also discusses what inspired him to paint and the importance of Neal Adams to comics.You can pre-save the Dreadstar Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monkeywrenchent/jim-starlins-dreadstar-vs-dreadstarGet all other Dreadstar books through Dark Horse ComicsFind Jim on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jimstarlin/?hl=enMy Website : www.westcoastdavengers.comPATREON https://www.patreon.com/DavengersDirectEdition

Seedance 2.0 is the best AI video model we've ever seen. Bytedance's new AI tool generates 15 second clips of basically anything. But what happens next? And where do we go from here? Gavin got early access before it got locked down. We tested it with original animation, fake sitcoms, anime, and a McDonald's ad. The results are genuinely shocking - multi-shot editing, cinematic camera work, and real celebrity voices coming straight out of the model. People are making fake Seinfeld episodes, Avengers deleted scenes, and Rocky working at a fast food restaurant with Optimus Prime. Plus two new Chinese LLMs beating American models on benchmarks, Google Deep Think scores 84% on ARC-AGI, OpenAI's Codex Spark model, that viral AI post your mom sent you, and Kevin loses his mind building an Open Claw agent named Mr. Tibs who now requests server upgrades at 3am.

Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't just a cosmic side quest — it was the emotional on-ramp to the entire Infinity Saga. In this retrospective episode of Marvel Maniac, we look back at the humble beginnings of Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax, while viewing the film through the lens of everything that comes later — from Infinity War and Endgame to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. From the iconic opening set to “Come and Get Your Love,” to the underplayed introduction of the Power Stone, to the quiet seeds planted for Thanos and the tragedy that follows — this episode is about why Guardians still matters, and why it hits harder now than it ever did in 2014.

Hace ya veinte años en Marvel, mientras los héroes de la Tierra se pegaban entre ellos en aquello de la Civil War, en el espacio algo mucho más gordo tenía lugar sin que estos se enterasen. Aquello se llamaba Aniquilación y, aunque no fuesen los responsables principales, ya por aquel entonces, en la retaguardia, un par de guionistas británicos iban poniendo piezas de lo que sería el universo Marvel más allá de la atmósfera terrestre durante los seis años siguientes, asentando pilares sobre los que aún se sustenta la Marvel cósmica actual. Dan Abnett y Andy Lanning, junto con otro montón de dibujantes y guionistas que iremos repasando, daban forma a una parte del universo Marvel tal vez más discreta en popularidad que lo que podríamos considerar los eventos de primera línea pero mucho mayor en escala y disfrute. De Aniquilación, Aniquilación: Conquista, Guerra de reyes, Reino de Reyes, El imperativo Thanos y todo lo que rodea estos eventos será de lo que hablemos en estas cuatro horas y pico de podcasts, que esperamos que disfrutéis. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro.

Abigail Morris is about to host the 2026 AVN Awards—and she's fucking terrified. She's nervous on podcasts, nervous in porn scenes, nervous in social situations… and then she turns around and does it all anyway. That panic-to-power switch is the heart of this episode. Well, that and the Thanos & Gamora porn parody that would snap the internet in half (see what I did there?).We get into what it's like being a Brazzers Contract Star, how she taps into real pleasure on camera (“genital drunk” is her term), what's going down on her OnlyFans, and where she likes the cumshot: Is she a creampie girl? A facial girl? Both? Abigail talks her first blowbang, first gangbang, and first anal. We also go in depth on her Marvel cosplay/parody idea, what the hell happened to porn parodies, and what she's got coming next.

 Comic Book Death! No, not *that* comic book death, the character of Death, in comic books! This week, we’re talking about these personifications of mortality. From Death of the Endless to that skeleton that Thanos is more of an Eros about, and even the gender-specific Lady Death, and that one that Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter melvin’d that one time. But before all of that, in the Warmup, we talk about the various controversies and legacy of Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind Dilbert, who passed away recently. We do not treat the subject matter with much respect, because, like the New Radicals said, you get what you give, and also bucket hats will be cool forever. Direct Download: MP3

We continue our dive into Jonathan Hickman's Avengers saga with Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 (2014), as the truth finally comes out — the universe is dying, and Earth is the cause.In Avengers #35, stars go dark and cosmic forces move toward Earth while Sunspot begins assembling a new Avengers team, bringing together fractured heroes like Hyperion, Nightmask, Starbrand, and a broken Thor.In New Avengers #24, the Cabal spirals out of control. Namor turns to Doctor Doom and is rejected, Professor X is forced to beg Thanos for death, and Wakanda's last stand ends in devastating sacrifice. Behind it all, Doom begins quietly building a plan tied to the Multiverse and the Molecule Man.This is Hickman at his bleakest — cosmic collapse, impossible choices, and heroes crossing lines they can't return from.

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin are back after a few weeks of rest over the holidays. Justin shares a few gym experiences with Doug including someone rocking a Christian podcast at full volume in the locker room and someone who decided to get up close and personal with the dumbbell rack. The dorks recount the boardgames they played while Doug and his family visited Justin and Beth in Grand Rapids and then Doug poses a hypothetical question to Justin that involves a risky ocean challenge for a large sum of money. The guys then move into their main topic of how they have begun to see the villain's perspective of things as they've gotten older. Some of the villains the nerds seem to side with include Magneto, Killmonger, Thanos, The Joker, along with an uncomfortable amount of others.   Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Justin reads out patch notes for real life and Doug has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

What if we told you Thanos once flew around in a helicopter with his name printed on the side…and that somehow isn't even the weirdest thing in this comic. In this episode of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive headfirst into the wonderfully bizarre world of Spidey's Super Stories, the kid-friendly Marvel comics of the late '70s. It starts with Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel stopping a villain who knocks out an entire women's rights march with sleep-inducing soda before escalating into a tale with Thanos, the Cosmic Cube, a skateboard kid superhero, and the most unnecessary helicopter branding in comic history. #spiderman #thanos #marvelcomics #marvel #brosfoesandheroes #comicbooks Spidey Super Stories Issue 39 (Marvel Comics, 1978) "Women's Day 1979" Writers: Nick Sullivan, Michael Siporin, Jim Salicrup Penciler: Win Mortimer Inker: Mike Esposito "The Cat and the Cosmic Cube" Writers: Nick Sullivan, Michael Siporin, Jim Salicrup, David Anthony Kraft Penciler: Win Mortimer Inker: Mike Esposito Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, Ripley, and David stumble headfirst into a horological fever dream that begins with their favorite Christmas gifts and quickly escalates into “God complex watches”, starting with Vacheron Constantin's wildly unsettling Métiers d'Art creations that somehow manage to combine astronomical complications, golden humanoid figures, cult leader aesthetics, and a price tag that suggests you might also receive a henchman with purchase. (Prompting a spirited debate about whether watches are meant to tell time or simply assert dominance over humanity). From there, Ariel dives into the increasingly uncomfortable question of whether there are simply too many watch brands in the modern market. He explains why brand failure does not automatically equal industry collapse and how pricing, distribution, and ego have quietly set the stage for a long overdue reckoning. That discussion naturally inspires Rick to introduce the “Brand Death Wheel”, a highly scientific and extremely responsible method for deciding which brands live, die, or are Thanos snapped out of existence. The process includes eulogies, resale speculation, and the unanimous realization that Tissot is not the brand we deserve but the brand we absolutely need.The conversation then swings through some of the most talked about articles of the year, including why rage drives engagement, why accuracy ranges that resemble guesses are no longer acceptable, and how discounting might actually save the industry's soul. The group also explores why wealthy collectors complaining about prices may be the loudest warning sign of all. From there, the episode moves into a rapid fire tour of notable releases from Timex, Casio, and TAG Heuer, along with the ongoing identity crisis between flagship models and halo pieces. They ultimately circle back to the most important unresolved question of the episode: if this group truly has the power to decide which brands survive, should they also be trusted to choose a watch for Rick in 2026. Finally, (and appropriately), the episode closes with a solemn and completely earned send off set to the Hungarian national anthem.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

Daredevil's protégé Blindspot is invited to a warehouse where a giant blood mural has been painted. He phones Daredevil and the pair investigate while the owner of the warehouse starts charging admission so people can see the twisted art.   When the mural gets desecrated by an address, the pair find another equally horrifying art exhibit made with inhumans. Daredevil has a brief interaction with Muse on the building's rooftop before Muse escapes. While Daredevil tries to get help from Medusa and the inhumans, Blindspot goes after Muse and finds his hideout and several hostages he plans to use in his next art piece. Blindspot frees the hostages and acts as a decoy to Muse so they can escape. Blindspot though is captured by Muse and before Daredevil can save him, Muse gouges his eyes out.   Ultimately Daredevil defeats Muse and gets Blindspot to a hospital, but the damage is done. Matt Murdock is left feeling very guilty he let his student be hurt.  This leads to a short 2 book story arch called the Seventh Day where Matt enters a church for the first time in a while and speaks with Father Jordan. The story is light on action but makes up for it with real character development will be our Spotlight story of the week.   Next, Matt Murdock returns to Father Jordan and the confessional booth and finally answers the question we've had all series – “How was Matt able to make everyone forget he is Daredevil?” as he recounts his final days in San Francsico in a story called Purple.    Not surprising it has to do with Killgrave and his purple children. Killgrave used a guard in prison to escape and upon escaping sought his children to elevate his power beyond it's already dangerous level. Two of the children show up a Mat Murdock's house just ahead of a hoard of crazed people sent by Killgrave to capture them. Matt locks them and Kirsten in a panic room and then incapacitates the mob.   Daredevil goes after Killgrave and upon finding him, the rest of the kidnapped children and his power-boosting machine, Daredevil can't keep from falling under the purple man's influence.  Killgrave toys with him asking asks Daredevil what exactly the worst possible thing he could do is. Daredevil suggests the Purple Man to have everybody, heroes, villains and civilians, wreak havoc upon the streets. When asked what he would do in this scenario, Daredevil simply says "nothing".  This outrages Killgrave which is apparently enough for Daredevil to break free of control and takedown Killgrave. As a thank you for saving them, the Purple kids decide to help Daredevil by using the device and making everyone in the world forget that Matt Murdock and Daredevil are one in the same. Daredevil returns home where Kirsten doesn't realize Daredevil and Matt are the same so he leaves and decided to use this free start to go back to New York and start over.  This leads us into the next story – Supreme. In it we see Matt Murdock and Daredevil team up take the fight against criminals to the courtroom. Daredevil, with the help of Luke Cage and Echo – stop the Munition Militia from blowing up city hall but are only manage to capture Simon “Slug” Slugansky in the process. It's then ADA Murdock puts his idea into motion – have Daredevil testify against Slugansky in court – without revealing his secret identity.   The defense team tries to discredit the red suit wearing Daredevil saying “anyone can wear a suit”. Daredevil proves he is the real deal when the Milita charge into the courtroom attempting to free they cohort. When the dust settles, Daredevil is able to give testimony and the District Attorney's office wins the now high-profile case.   Seeing how the decision could affect his business interests, Kingpin launches a two-part attack on Matt Murdock to see the case go away is it gets appealed to higher and higher courts. He hires a former lead attorney for Tony Stark called just “Legal” to represent Slugansky in court and hires Tombstone to take out Murdock when not in court.   Legal is able to get the verdict overturned in the New York Supreme Court – which angers D.A. Hochberg (Matt's boss) saying he needs to stop using New York resources. That causes Matt to reach out to Foggy for help – which is interrupted by a Tombstone attack. Matt uses his Daredevil skills to beat him and escape with Foggy and Foggy agrees to help. Fast forward 2 weeks and the case is being heard by the Supreme Court.  To Foggy's surprise, Matt confesses that he lost the previous appeals case on purpose. He says he needed it to come before the Supremes in order for the ruling to have true power. And while waiting to for the case to be called, Matt gets confirmation Kingpin was the one who hired Legal. While arguing before the Justices, Murdock imagines his exchange with them as a physical battle, and feels like he's getting beat up badly. In his rebuttal to Legal's opening statement he stresses the voluntary good that all citizens are obliged to do.   Ten days later, the court rules in Matt's favor, potentially changing the entire landscape of law enforcement. Matt calls Foggy and tries to explain why he needs to fight criminals both in the courtroom and in the streets at once. He reverts to his classic red costume. Meanwhile, In NYC, and enraged Kingpin punches out a window, and tells Wesley to turn to Plan C.  The year ends with a 3-book story called “Land of the Blind”. Matt learns Samuel Chung (aka Blindspot) is in China, so he travels there looking for him. Shortly after arriving, he's captured by Blindspot and put in a hole for what seems like several months. We learn he has gotten his eyesight back thanks to a deal his mother made with the Beast and the Hand. Sam wants to trade Daredevil's life for the life of his mother – which he does.

Send me a Text Message!Revelation 12 does not describe a merry, little Christmas. Christmas is a holy war, a cosmic battle for the glory of God, with a vicious villian. Like Frodo and his fellowship against Sauron in the Lord of the Rings, or Iron Man against Thanos, even Little Red Riding Hood against the Big Bad Wolf. A cosmic battle agnst the hosts of darkness. We live in a culture that sees evil as a disease, a pyschological sickness, but the Bible describes evil as personal, malicious and dangerous.That first Christmas led to war in heaven. Christmas is a cosmic invasion in the epic battle between God and evil; between darkness and light. And guess who wins?

It's live-stream night and we're diving straight into the chaos as Washington gets ready for the Minnesota Vikings: a team rocking a top-tier defense, a bottom-tier quarterback situation, and enough purple to make Thanos blush. We're linking up with the crew from the Let's Skol Podcast to break down why both teams feel one bad drive away from a group therapy session.We'll hit the big storylines: Can Jayden suit up? Will Terry go? Can our offense find momentum that lasts longer than a TikTok clip? And on the other side, the Vikings are out here choosing between Brosmer, McCarthy, and who else? While their defense keeps bailing out the entire state of Minnesota.

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, Thanos Diacakis shares battle-tested advice for scaling SaaS teams, streamlining delivery, and maximizing developer happiness. Drawing on his experiences at startups and tech giants like Uber, Thanos reveals counterintuitive strategies for improving software output, optimizing technical debt, rethinking backlogs, and harnessing new mental models. He breaks down the importance of incremental value, cross-functional collaboration, and avoiding the traps of over-planning.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent round of interviews with various comic-centric YouTube channels last week, James Gunn seemingly revealed that despite rampant speculation, his DCU is not building toward the character of Darkseid as a “big bad”. As to why he's not pursuing what many fans might argue is the obvious direction for the studio, he cited the efforts of the comic book cinematic universes that paved the way for his own, saying, "Using Darkseid as the big bad now is not necessarily the thing... because Zack did it so cool in his way and because of Thanos and Marvel." Gunn expanded his thoughts on both, acknowledging some of the shortcomings of the DCEU and detailing how similar Thanos and Darkseid are that it wouldn't feel fresh for audiences. While Marvel has yet to confirm the much-discussed Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU, in a new interview with beauty, fashion and pop culture outlet InStyle, Elizabeth Olsen reiterated that she's ready to step back into the role. "It's ridiculous," she said of making MCU movies. "We're grown people behaving like children on a playground. We're flying. We're shooting things out of our hands. And it's a character that I've gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It's good to put her down and then I miss her, and I want her back. I'd jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again." Last week, Netflix revealed its plans to release the feature-length finale of Stranger Things' final season in theaters, reversing course after the streamer had previously rejected the Duffer Brothers' theatrical release pitch. Theaters will screen the finale starting Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. PT — coinciding with its global Netflix debut — and continuing through Jan. 1, 2026. Disney+ will begin streaming The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Nov. 5, following the film's $521 million worldwide box office haul over the summer.Over the weekend, Sony's Crunchyroll released Chainsaw Man – The Movie, which topped the domestic box office with $17.2 million and reached $108 million globally. Black Phone 2 continued its solid run, surpassing $80 million worldwide. Regretting You debuted in third place with a better-than-expected $22.9 million, while the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere disappointed with $16.1 million in its opening weekend.Paramount Pictures is finalizing a deal to acquire Ti West's adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Johnny Depp set to play Ebenezer Scrooge. The film will release on November 13, 2026.Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are in talks to star in Joseph Kosinski‘s big-screen reboot of Miami Vice.Sony Pictures Animation will produce a sequel to its 2021 Oscar-nominated feature The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Production is expected to begin early next year.IMAX has unveiled its planned releases for 2026 at an Investor Presentation and at this moment, Spider-Man Brand New Day is not included in the lineup. The film will be released on July 31, which means it's debuting right in the middle of a pretty crowded IMAX season: the live-action Moana and The Odyssey are arriving on July 10 and July 17, respectively.Disney has officially exited its partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who after two years. For now, the BBC does plan to air an upcoming Christmas special next year and then continue the series on the network.Captain America star Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans 

Another week, another industry-warping Hollywood shake-up. As Warner Bros. Discovery plants a “For Sale” sign in its yard, a Streaming Wars endgame is being unleashed. Is the billionaire class going to snap its fingers, Thanos-style, and squeeze the number of major studios through another round of M&A? Or is salvation coming instead for a storied studio? Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey break down which suitors make sense, why a Paramount-Warner Bros. mashup would become the rival Netflix has never had, and which assets are most enticing, fantasy-draft style.

Every creative person has that one work their audience considers the ultimate creation—their masterpiece. On today's pod, we had a blast digging into some of our favorite comic creators' defining works. We talk about legends like Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Neal Adams, along with later giants like Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz, Mike Mignola, and many more. Is a masterpiece a single issue, an iconic run, a stretch of covers, or even one unforgettable cover? Is it the creation of an iconic character like Thanos or Deadpool? Or could it be something beyond the page, such as the launch of Image Comics and Milestone Media?  The conversation runs long and goes in all kinds of directions (as you might expect), but one thing's for sure—the opinions fly fast and furious!

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! This episode contains significant reveals for Ironheart and the broader MCU. Consider watching the show first if you care about spoilers.After years of fan theories and speculation, Mephisto has finally arrived in the MCU through Ironheart—but not in the way anyone expected. Matthew and Riki dive into how the show subverted expectations about heroism, morality, and what it means to make a deal with the devil.Is Riri Williams actually the hero of her own story? The hosts examine how Ironheart deliberately plays with audience expectations, making viewers question whether they're watching a traditional superhero origin or something much darker. From academic cheating to leaving someone to die, Riri's moral choices become increasingly questionable throughout the series.How does Mephisto function as the ultimate tempter rather than a traditional villain? Unlike physical powerhouses like Thanos or Doom, Mephisto's strength lies in influence and manipulation. The discussion explores how he doesn't possess people but creates circumstances where they make their worst possible decisions—and why that makes him so terrifying.What does the theology behind the devil archetype tell us about this character? Matthew provides historical context about the evolution from the Hebrew "Ha-satan" (the accuser) to the Christian concept of Lucifer, and how Marvel's Mephisto draws from both traditions while remaining respectful of different faith perspectives.Could the AI Natalie have been Mephisto's creation all along? The hosts theorize that Mephisto may have been pulling strings throughout the entire series, using the AI companion to both help Riri succeed and set up her ultimate temptation.The episode also tackles the show's brilliant balance of science versus magic, the stellar performances across the cast, and what this means for future MCU projects like Strange Academy and the upcoming Spider-Man film. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

We explore the Righteous Bully archetype in the Inner Villain system, mapped to Enneagram 8 and the Ajna (third-eye) center. This villain believes their opinion is gospel, weaponises “truth,” and enforces righteousness at any cost. We track the full arc: Successful Antagonist (the Fixer), Wounded Child (the Pathogen), Covert Form (the Sacrificial), Hero (the Surrendered), and Legend (the Channeler). Along the way, we unpack how this shows up in daily life, why Thanos is the cinematic mascot, and how to tell the difference between sacrificing your voice and surrendering to something larger than yourself. Two “Am I the Asshole” scenarios help ground the dynamics in real relationships.Timestamps00:00 — Banter and setup, villain 8 overview01:00 — Core question: “Have you ever hurt someone by ‘just being honest'?”01:15 — Centers and types: Ajna center, Enneagram 8 “Challenger/Enforcer”02:00 — The everyday Righteous Bully: opinions as law, triangulation, blanket statements02:30 — Straw story: moral superiority, environmental righteousness as enforcement04:45 — Why Thanos fits the archetype: opinion as solution, the Snap as “righteous fix,” unintended consequences07:00 — Successful Antagonist: the Fixer, “I told you so” as identity07:50 — Wounded Child: the Pathogen, blamed for everything, fights to avoid being the problem again08:45 — Covert Form: the Sacrificial, peacekeeping by self-erasure in groups and teams10:50 — Hero: the Surrendered, releasing attachment to being right and aligning with group coherence12:40 — Legend: the Channeler, becoming a vessel for greater wisdom rather than a mouthpiece for self13:30 — Somatic tell: elation and lightness vs heaviness when it's true surrender14:50 — Vehicle note: practicing healthy selfishness, daily give-and-take, not grand gestures15:30 — AITA case 1: wedding budget conflict, opinion used as a weapon19:00 — AITA case 2: Lego Millennium Falcon, destruction as moral enforcement, shared-home boundaries22:30 — Reflections: how both sides can slip into righteousness and how to course-correctThe arc at a glancePinnacle Villain: Righteous Bully — Opinion as law, truth as a weapon, moral superiority.Successful Antagonist: The Fixer — Solves you without consent, resents not being followed.Wounded Child: The Pathogen — Blamed for everything, over-responsible, braced for attack.Covert Form: The Sacrificial — Abandons their view to avoid conflict, self-bullying through silence.Hero: The Surrendered — Releases attachment to being right, aligns with a larger coherence.Legend: The Channeler — Becomes a clear instrument for wisdom, not a megaphone for ego.Key ideas and languageWeaponised honesty: “I'm just being honest” used to control or shame.Ajna fixation: overvaluing thinking and opinion as ultimate truth.Righteousness vs justice: righteousness centers the self's opinion, justice centers reality, repair, and relationship.Surrender vs sacrifice: sacrifice abandons self to avoid conflict; surrender chooses alignment and feels relieving, not heavy.Practices for listenersThree-beat check before you “tell it like it is”What is my intention, really.Do I have consent to offer this.Can I state this as a perspective rather than a fact.Somatic truth testSay the proposed action aloud and notice your body.Surrender tends to feel lighter, more spacious. Sacrifice feels heavy, collapsed, or resentful.Channel, don't bulldozeWrite the guidance you think you are “channeling.”Circle what is verifiable vs interpretive.If it still feels true after separating opinion from observation, offer it with permission and choice.Daily take-and-giveOne small “take” for yourself each day, not a big, infrequent blow-up. Nap, boundary, five-minute walk, saying no.Spotting the Righteous Bully in the wildBig blanket statements delivered as moral verdicts.Triangulation: “Everyone thinks you're not nice.”Conditional “protection”: “I didn't call you out because you do good work.”Destroying or undermining what others love to make a point.Case study insightsWedding budget fight: Opinion leveraged as moral judgment (“greedy,” “rude”) rather than collaborative planning. The counter-move is to invite shared values, constraints, and consented trade-offs.Lego destruction: Moral enforcement by force. The needed boundary is joint in a shared home, with consequence that protects relationship to the child and to each partner's autonomy.Reflection promptsWhere have I called control “honesty.”When have I swallowed my voice and called it surrender.What does elation feel like in my body, and when did I last feel it while choosing alignment.What is one small daily “take” that would keep me out of explosive righteousness.Pull quotes“The Righteous Bully holds their opinion as gospel. The Channeler becomes a vessel for something larger.”“Sacrifice abandons yourself. Surrender aligns yourself.”GlossaryAjna center: The mental/third-eye hub where opinions and interpretations crystallise.Enneagram 8: Challenger/Enforcer, intensity toward truth, control, and protection.Triangulation: Bringing a third party's supposed view to pressure someone into compliance.MentionsThanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, as an exemplar of opinion enforced as salvation.Group-work dynamics where covert sacrifice masquerades as peacekeeping.Resources and next stepsTake the Inner Villain quiz to locate your current arc, then revisit this episode with your results for practical application.Try the “Middle Path” meditation to feel the somatic difference between sacrifice and surrender.CreditsHost: Kristina Wiltsee, with AnnaSeries: Inner Villain → Hero → LegendAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
