I make a lot of Top 5 lists. Maybe you do to?
No need to restrict it to Top 5, it can be Top 10 or Top 3 or Top whatever.
Bottom lists are also allowed, obviously.

I wrote this list about my top 5 hero/villain duos in the DCU for a friend. It’s a bit shit, but it was fun to write and think about.
1. Batman/The Joker
The Joker isn’t that interesting without Batman but they are, at least in my canon, the most solid hero/villain duo of the DCU. I don’t know what I can say that isn’t obvious, them being intertwined in some sick game of The Jokers making, or that The Batman is involved (at the very least present) in the creation of the Joker as per The Killing Joke, but apart from that I’d like to mention the arc(s) just after Final Crisis were Bruce is presumed dead (actually lost in time thanks to Darkseids omega sanction) and Grayson has taken over as Batman with Damian as his Robin.
They are approached by Oberon Sexton, a masked novelist and self-styled crime-fighter who is trying to help them solve the mystery of Batmans disappearance while also combating the unstoppable villain Doctor Hurt. It turns out that Oberon Sexton is The Joker, actually trying to help the bat-fam with no ulterior motive. Well, I say no ulterior motive but he’s obviously lost without Batman and wants to get him back so that they can keep up their, from his perspective, fun little game. I really liked that.
Special mention, again, to The Killing Joke, where Joker tries to prove a point to Batman that anyone can be broken by a heavy dose of unexpected trauma (as they both once was), but completely fails because they’re both fucking whackjobs and the normal people in The Jokers experiment (Barbara and Jim) aren’t. And it ends with Batman and The Joker laughing together. Poetic.
So yeah, they’re both products of intense personal trauma that they resolve by living out as their alter egos. They’re the same. But completely different.
2. Superman/Lex Luthor
I like the dynamic of the humble space-god who has infinite power and a great deal of humanity being challenged by the smartest man on the planet who only cares about himself and just happens to have an inferiority complex the size of his ego. It’s almost like its own version of the classic tropes of literature, Man Vs Nature, Man Vs Man, Man vs Technology, Man Vs Society, Man vs Superman…
There’s also the dimension, similar to what I mention below with Bruce and The Jokers origins, where Clark is country boy farmer turned journalist and Lex is a genius inventor turned hyper-capitalist business magnate. An interesting dynamic. I don’t care for the bits where they have a shared origin in Smallville, that doesn’t jive with me so more often than not (unless it’s specifically mentioned and built on in the comics) it’s not part of my headcanon.
I like the fact that while it’s often portrayed as if Lex sees himself as the brains and Superman as the brawns in a classic Brain Vs Brawn showdown, it’s more often than not Lex who fucks himself over or Superman who out-thinks him. All-Star Superman has a fantastic twist on this as Superman does exactly that when Lex has stolen Supermans powers and is momentarily overcome with the intrinsic beauty and responsibility that comes with the ability to see the world in minute detail while at the same time being drained of these temporary powers with a gravity gun. Superman ends the fight with saying “Brains over brawns” at the exact same time HE PUNCHES LEX IN THE FACE. It’s an oxymoron of pure storytelling poetry.
3. Batman/Jason Todd
This one might be a bit controversial because Jason Todd isn’t, perhaps, a villain as such. But in his Red Hood character he continually challenges and antagonizes Batman in a way that no-one else can and have (excluding Ghost-Maker who bent to Batmans will fairly easy in a way Jason never will). Jason’s trained by Batman, partly raised by Batman, he knows Batmans modus operandi, his tricks and motives, and Jasons defining character trauma is one that has come from his time with Batman. From Jasons point of view, Batman is directly responsible for it since he didn’t kill the Joker any of the times he had the chance to. But he still has a lot of respect for Batman, and while taking a contrary position in his way of operating (as in, using guns and killing people) he still considers Bruce his father. And Jason isn’t by any stretch meaningless to Batman either, there is a lot of grief on both sides in their relationships.
Jason is not like the Anti-Batman though, he’s more like the Anti-Nightwing not only in that they’re hero and anti-hero respectively but in that they represent Batman’s success (Nightwing) and failure (Jason) as a family man and father figure. The existence of Jason Todd is a part of Batmans character flaws and as soon as they’re in the same room they antagonize each other by the pure virtue of their differences in morality.
4. Hal Jordan/Sinestro
Another Mentor-Pupil relationship but as opposed to the Batman/Jason dynamic this is in reverse, having the mentor being the one who turns to morally questionable actions to reach his goals. I like Sinestro because he’s not evil or bent on dominating or shit like that, he’s like Doctor Doom in that he actually believes he’s doing the right thing. He’s trying to help others and save worlds from themselves… By imposing strict totalitarian regimes built on fear. But it’s not about him having the power per se.
He’s a good foil for Hal because of the Mentor-Pupil relationship that they initially had and they’re occasional allies and friends. There’s nothing Hal knows about his power set or the mythos surrounding it that Sinestro doesn’t also know. And they’re not entirely dissimilar in that they’re both proud and strict characters. They’re almost like a pantomime hero vs a pantomime villain in their sometimes wooden characters and motivations, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A good fit for each other.
5. Shazam/Black Adam
I actually did a last minute change here after thinking about it, but their characters are perfect for each other in their oppositeness. Shazam is a small boy in a grown mans body and he’s so naive in his goodness that he appears outright childish at times. At the same time, Black Adam is thousands of years old and so rigid in his royal self-righteousness he’s like a land-dwelling Namor. They’re distorted mirrors of each other, and they’re both childhood favourites. Special mention to the fact that Black Adam isn’t an outright villain, he is also trying to do what he thinks is good, and sometimes that means mass-murder on live television. As long as it protects his native land and the interests of its people. Plus: Cool costumes.
Runners-up and special mentions:
Justice League International/Maxwell lord was my first pick for #5, and it was kind of fitting in that an influential business man with a controlling interest in the public perception of the Justice League was such a credible antagoniser to that group of heroes, at least back in the 80/90s version of JLI which worked a lot like a sitcom about dysfunctional people. I dropped it because I came to think of Shazam/Black Adam and their various dynamics. Also, Maxwell Lord is a bit too similar to Lex.
The Flash/Reverse-Flash dynamic seems like a good and obvious fit for this list but I’ve grown really tired of Thawne. I may be missing something but his entire character is about fucking with The Flash and his reasoning is sketchy as fuck. He’s like both Norman Osborn and Venom at the same time and it’s a bit over the top.

May I kindly suggest you remedy that? There are plenty of good Irish movies out there. Good Vibrations could actually be a good tip for a start for you, it’s about Terri Hooley, his record label Good Vibrations, and how that became ground zero for the Belfast punk scene in the seventies/early eighties.

It’s not a hill that I’d die on really, but in order to have any hope of narrowing the list down to 5, we chose to define an Irish movie as being a bit more about Ireland. In Bruges is about two Irish hitmen from a London gang hiding out in Bruges.
Even then, I found it incredibly difficult to narrow it down. The only think that I knew for sure is that The Guard was going to be top of the list because I just love that movie.

I’d call in Bruges an Irish movie. Written and directed by an Irishman, the two main actors are Irish…
Me too. You can’t be too purist about these things because most things that make a wide cinema release in the 21st century are international collaborations.
Hollywood is an increasingly abstract concept as almost no films are made there. Is a Spider-Man film American when the lead is British and the funding is from Japan? Yes I would say so because the thrust of the creative energy in the project is from the USA. I’d claim Pride and Submarine as Welsh films despite the fact that there are many nations involved in making them.

When I make list challenges with my friends, I usually either check the definitions (if someone else has presented the challenge) or I just leave it to everyone to interpret the list freely. In my canon you CAN be to purist about these things. If you want to. These lists are just for fun, if someone thinks it’s more fun to be purist about it, then they should go right ahead.
Although I’m currently having some not-PTSD-like flashbacks to when I tried to define classical music on my discord server and ended up kicking Tom from it.

I don’t think it’s being purist exactly. It was a game where we each make a list and as it’s a game we set specific parameters to ensure we are on the same page for what the list is. That kind of rule is important for a game.
It’s also very difficult to define what counts as an Irish film. For example, you could legitimately argue that Space Truckers and Excalibur are Irish because they were filmed in Ireland and produced by an Ardmore Studios. They are included on Wikipedia’s list of Irish films, but if someone wanted an introduction to Irish cinema, they wouldn’t make my list of recommendations at all. On the other hand, if someone wanted an introduction to Welsh cinema, Submarine would be at the top of my list regardless of who was involved in the production because it’s a very Welsh film.
In Bruges is a lot more ambiguous. Depending how you choose to look at it there are compelling arguments that it is an Irish film and equally compelling arguments that it is not. On one hand, it is a character driven story with a very small cast where the two main actors/characters are Irish which makes a lot of the character interactions feel very Irish and so it feels like an Irish film. On the other hand, it is a film written and directed by a Londoner (albeit of Irish descent) loosely about two London hitmen hiding out in Belgium. None of the other characters are Irish and it’s not really about Ireland at all.
My reasoning for saying it didn’t count for the purposes of the list was that allowing it would open things up to having any film with Irish main characters potentially be considered Irish. It was simpler to have the list only allow films that are about Ireland in some way.

Top 5 Spider-Man stories, no internal order:
The Kid who Collects Spider-Man (ASM #248, written by Roger Stern)
You have to really hate Spider-Man to not love this story. It’s romantic and it’s great in every way. It really shows us that Spider-Man is just Peter Parker in a mask, and a big part of who Peter actually is.
Ultimate Spider-Man
I gotta give it to Bendis and Bagley, although others were involved. I was hooked from beginning to end. The ending isn’t great though, if there is such a thing seeing as the story of Miles Morales is its legacy, with the Green Goblin actually winning… But it doesn’t soil the rest of the story. The story beats with Peters relationship with Uncle Ben and the subsequent death of the latter in the first couple of issues are a fantastic choice. They made us actually care about the character, or at the very least understand the bond between Peter and Ben, before they killed him. Similar to what went on in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Transformations, Literal & Otherwise.
I’m unsure if this is the name of the arc, or just the first issue, it’s the story where Morlun first appears, by JMS and JRJR. Amazing Spider-Man v2 #30 and onwards. I love this story. JRJR on top form, JMS introducing new concepts and villains into the Spider-Man mythos and it just really worked for me. Ezekiel was a fun character. And again… JRJR in TOP FORM.
Kraven’s Last Hunt
Absolute classic, this one. Not much to say, really. It’s just good. And I read it when I was a kid. Similar to…
The Clone Saga
And here is probably the most controversial choice on my list. But only because it’s a stupid, convoluted, messy collection of stories rather than a great story. But it’s also where I started really reading Spider-Man and I was hooked. And I’m still a sucker for Ben Reilly because of it.
Honorable mentions: Too many to name? Spider-Man 2 stands out, the Maguire one. Heroes Don’t Cry (Peter Parker: Spider-Man v2 #35, Jenkins and Buckingham) is a wonderful tribute to The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man. Zdarskys issue where JJJ and Spider-Man has “the talk” is astonishingly good. And the aftermath of that is really sweet.

Top 5 worst subway stations in the Stockholm Subway.
1. TC
It smells, it schreeches, it’s super busy and messy. Ads everywhere, practically no art. It’s everything that’s wrong with public transit.
2. Östermalmstorg
If the commerce doesn’t smother you, the drunks might beat you up. Does have nice art but it’s polished shit. It’s polished shit.
3. Hötorget
Like seriously, I’ve been here a hundred times, but I still can’t find the right way out properly.
4. Stadshagen
It’s indoors and outdoors at the same time. It’s windy and cold but you’re not allowed to smoke. It smells of exhaust fumes and soot. Transiting takes a lot of unnecessary time. The platforms are inverted so the trains appear to go the wrong way.
5. Kista
Options of leaving this station are either 1) Get out in the middle of nowhere or 2) through a massive shopping centre. Fuck this place.

Top 5 KABOOM:
1. The Halifax BIG BADABOOM. (1917)
Apart from the size of the explosion and the unintentional nature of it, which are both mindboggling in their own way, there is this morse code message sent by train dispatcher Vince Coleman:
“Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbour making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye, boys.”
I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a hero but I enjoy the brevity, morbidity and dignity this message contains.
2. Enschede fireworks BAM-BOM-BAM-BOM BANG PEEEW-BOOM BOOOOOOM (2000)
Fireworks factory disaster in the Netherlands. 23 people were killed and 950+ people were injured.
1250 homes were totally destroyed by the final blast.Potato quality, but worth a watch. The final blast is beefy. Pro tip: Fireworks factory on fire? Run away!
3. Beirut Harbour BOOOOOOM (2020)
Similar to Enschede. Bigger, but less colorful. Also lack of stupid onlookers just standing around watching the pretty fireworks kind of diminish the schadenfreude of it all.
Lots of good quality video though, always a plus.
4. Pepcon BANG-BAM-BOOOOOM (1988)
Traveling shockwave, sound, smoke cloud… Rocket fuel makes for good explody stuff.
Unfortunately, it happened out in the middle of the deser so not a lot of footage.
5. Chernobyl zzzzBRRRKBOOOMFFZZZFFFSKSKSKRRKRRR (1986)
The worst nuclear disaster in the world. Not only explosion, it has everything good in life! Radioactivity! Governmental cover-ups! Radioactivity! Soviet Union shenanigans! Radioactivity!

I went in to CBR, for some godforsaken fucking reason, and the first thing that piqued my interests was one of them bullshit lists they fill up their word count with. “Top 10 Cartoon Villains” it read. It wasn’t the worst list I’ve read, but i was piqued beyond what was delivered to me, so I just had to make my own.
Top
five6 cartoon villains:1. Scar, from “The Lion King” (1994)
Important to point out that I prefer him voiced in Swedish by Rikard Wolff. Can’t think of another example where I prefer the locally-dubbed over the original voice. Except maybe Darth Vader, if that counts.2. Gendo Ikari, from “Neon Genesis Evangelion” (1995)
I don’t know, maybe he’s more like the hero of the story. I’ve heard the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Speaking of that, what’s Gods character development like in the bible? Madder than them all, that one.3. Eric Cartman, from “South Park” (1997 and onwards)
He’s not always a villain, but he totally counts as a (if not THE) main villain of the South Park series. He’s evil to the core, both incomprehensibly over the top yet still totally believable. Somehow. “They’re not people! They’re hippies!”4. Hades, from “Hercules” (1997)
Ah, James Woods. Great voice actor. What a cunt. But Hades is solid. He’s… How about this comparison, Emperor Palpatine but played by Robin Williams?5. General Woundwort, from “Watership Down” (1978)
Animal Farm but they’re nazis and also wild rabbits. Bunnyrabbit Stalinhitler. To me it’s like he was drawn and written specifically to be voiced by Ernst-Hugo Järegård. Admit it, you see it too! (Who am I talking to?) A missed opportunity, sadly…6. Percival C McLeach, from “Rescuers Down Under” (1990)
Brilliantly voiced by George C Scott, this movie is worth seeing for his performance alone. McLeach comes alive so much so that I made this a top six list just to be able to include him.I imagine I would read @lorcan_nagle ‘s version of this list with my interest piqued!

Top 5 mash-ups of Star Trek shows with nuWho Doctors:
1/ Star Trek TNG with Peter Capaldi as The Captain, to maximise the chances of him telling Wesley fuckity bye.
2/ Star Trek TOS with Matt Smith as The Captain, since he basically looks like he was born in the 1930s anyway.
3/ Star Trek DISCO with Jodie Whittaker as The Captain because teh sCr!pTz r s0 Go0d!
4/ Star Trek ENT with Christopher Eccleston as The Captain because it was all relatively short-lived and nobody remembers it that much
5/ Star Trek VOY with David Tennant as The Captain because Q would find him irresistible.

Odd choice among the other action heroes, but Mildred certainly is a badass!
I’d bump her up a few notches on that list if only she was a bit more iconic.

Top 5 Spider-Man artists:
1. John Romita Jr
2. Mark Bagley
3. Humberto Ramos
4. Todd McFarlane
5. Erik Larsen
There are artists I like better than (some of) these guys, like Cheung and McNiven but none of them are prolific Spider-Man artists. Sure McNiven did a few arcs at the beginning of Brand New Day, and I’m sure Cheung would draw a mean Spidey, but… It’s my list, and they’re not eligible. Every artist on my list is (to me) identifiable as a known Spider-Man artist.
