Emilio loves being on a boat, Thijs is not a big fan, but they can both agree on one thing: One Piece has the best boats of all the boats in the entire boat world.

Characters who hide behind a mask or helmet can never hide for very long in geek titles. Their true identity will be revealed, and it will shock you all!

Who am I? Where do I come from? What is my name? Heroes in geek titles often can't answer any of these questions, because they're an amnesiac hero. It is a cheap trope that's been used to death, but as we learned this week, if implemented right, it's an awesome trope!This week's titles are:06.15 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (game, 2017)24.47 Generator Rex (cartoon, 2010)39.07 Dark City (movie, 1998)51.29 Robocop (movie, 1987)Wanna get in touch with us? supermagictimefriends@gmail.comFor some visual guidance, the ranking in its entirety and links to our social media accounts, go to our blog:https://supermagictimefriends.tumblr.com/Our intro theme is called The Lift and it is performed by Seventh Gear.https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Seventh_Gear/Gunshot/03_-_Seventh_Gear_-_The_Lift_-_Gunshot/

They are inescapable in the geek landscape: mentors. Old, scruffy men who will tell you how to live your life. We have four examples of mentors, one of them is terrible, and three of them are not terrible, but... not that great of a mentor either.

Why did Shredder always tie the Turtles up, in stead of killing them right away? Because he is a villain, and that's what villains do!

Some franchises are so popular that people tend to forget they had a pretty rough start: an anime that began its live as a funny but no so pretty webcomic, a movie franchise that had some forgettable first titles, a game series that started out bumpy as hell and a tv-series that came out of one of the worst movies we've ever seen.This week's titles are:04.54 One Punch Man (webcomic, 2009)17.44 Thor (movie, 2011)32.28 Street Fighter (game, 1987)50.01 Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie, 1992)Wanna get in touch with us? supermagictimefriends@gmail.comFor some visual guidance, the ranking in its entirety and links to our social media accounts, go to our blog:https://supermagictimefriends.tumblr.com/Our intro theme is called The Lift and it is performed by Seventh Gear.https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Seventh_Gear/Gunshot/03_-_Seventh_Gear_-_The_Lift_-_Gunshot/

We're back from the dead, with our first listener suggested theme: resurrection.

If you believe in the concept of Hell, it's scary as... as Hell! But if you're a geek, it's an awesome place that spawns all kinds of cool characters.
