This is terribly exciting and I can't really say why exactly which makes it all the more exciting! So many movies! Countdown! ( I think I need to breath and watch something to calm down.)

All of these are champions, in their own ways. It’s thrilling, to see them scroll by, like a parade, but with better gore effects.
