The vacation time of year is upon us , and while we ’re all busy hanging decorations and buy gifts , Toybox is miraculously still here , somehow . Let ’s take a spirit back at the first week of December , and the start of Toybox ’s quaternary month of operation ( four months ! What the hell ! ) .
All in all , December ’s started on an above average trend , outside of a major dip on Friday , giving the situation it ’s third worst day on record so far ( even then , it was still just over the requisite 10k US masses the site needs every day to maintain the 300k target for Recruits , which I still am sticking to , even if I ’ve technically ‘ hap ’ the programme already ) , the web site has had a healthy first to the calendar month , but thanks to some high figures from the destruction of November leaving tracking , we still drop dead down a niggling – but not by much , giving us 632k US monthly masses as of yesterday . Even if it is down , it ’s still incredible that Toybox is pulling in over twofold of what is expected of a Recruit Sub - web log . And it ’s down to your support , so like every hebdomad , I bid my earnest thanks for putting up with my dumb hokum .
And what a week of dumb nonsensicality it ’s been ! We take a look at why Nova biding his clock time to enroll the MCU might be for the best , and perish on a snatch of a critical bent as we ponder why the discharge of the last in-between - Earth movie for a very long sentence might be serious for the Fantasy genre on celluloid , and took not of franchises iterate the same story again and again ( as an amazing follow up , this essay by Lightninglouieon the Observation Deck is a must read ) . But it was n’t all seriousness – there was comic book talk , lots of action material body goodness ready to lure your wallet in the talent purchasing season , and of form , a bit of dance Groot . Ca n’t have a week on Toybox without a spot of Groot , can we ? Here ’s the bad stories of the last seven days .
