Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You? You were certainly missing during the first four rounds as stumped players resisted doubles and remained locked in a tight 6 way tie until the Great Dane and his pothead Mystery Machine buddies decided to show up. Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed in just how many of you believed that Jennifer Walters' superhero cousin Bruce was in fact Bruce Wayne and not Bruce Banner as if that Gotham socialite's blood would transform Batgirl into some kind of Man-Bat with hairy skin, floppy ears and a knack for hanging upside down. Like, really? Pick up a comic, you cretins! But after those pesky kids unmasked the connection on round 5, the rest of the night soared. Well, until Round 6. A lot of fateful double or nothings resulted in a whole lot of nothing as teams thought Megatron was the one with a secret lair on Asteroid M. No, no, no. There may have been that shitty Transformers movie where Megatron talks to another robot on the surface of the moon - which, sure, could look like an asteroid - but no, if you've ever played that amazing classic X-Men arcade game you know that the final encounter with Magneto (after the first one is revealed to be Mystique in disguise) takes place far away from Earth on his floating fortress of Asteroid M. Seriously, comic books were a major stumbling block for many of you tonight. Time to bone up on some graphic novels before that TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS comes barreling around the corner very very very soon.
