It’s been a long #FightForWynonna to get here, Earpers, but it’s finally happening. Production has started on season four of SyFy’s supernatural western, Wynonna Earp, and we could not be happier about it.

And we’re back!! #EarpNow pic.twitter.com/MOGFoABX6f

After a huge cliffhanger in the fall of 2018 that saw Peacemaker gone, the Earp sisters separated with Waverly possibly in the Garden of Eden, and Doc (who is still a freaking vampire?!) tagging along with her, we were all very eager to see where it went … but last year things went wrong. The money to make season four, which had been ordered by SyFy (along with a season five!) from IDW Entertainment wasn’t there and the future of the show was thrown into jeopardy.

Are you ready, Earpers? 🤠 #EarpNow @emtothea pic.twitter.com/3XD5Y9gVVq

But the devoted fans of the show wouldn’t take that. They ovaried up, petitioned, tweeted and even got billboards in Times Square to rally around their show. It worked, and all that love is finally paying off as the cast and crew have assembled in Calgary to shoot the new season. The season will include, among other things, star Melanie Scrofano’s directorial debut. It’s all got us excited and a little bit misty-eyed.

So what’s in store for the town of Purgatory and the Earps in the new season? Well, episode one is titled “On The Road Again” and we know that the cast we know and love are all back, along with Nicole’s red hair and some new cast members, including Supernatural’s Ty Olson!

Here we go. Let’s get them back. #WynonnaEarp #EarpNow #Episode401 pic.twitter.com/NYb3qylcQu

• GOOD!
  

  The WNBA will pay players a full salary while on maternity leave (they currently get 50%). New moms will also get nursing areas and child care stipends.

  The changes are part of a landmark deal that ups average salaries to 6-figures ($130K) for the 1st time. pic.twitter.com/5B7mxiz5nH

Imagine the confusion I felt when I awoke to a chorus of “what are you going to do now, liberals?” on Twitter and discovered that it was somehow connected to … Vince Vaughn. Apparently, the star of Wedding Crashers shook hands with Donald Trump, and that was somehow a “libs just got owned” moment to people who like the president? How? Has the left shown a lot of interest in Vince Vaughn that I just completely blocked out of my memory?

Truly, can someone explain to me why we suddenly need to care? I always watched Swingers for Jon Favreau anyway. The “outrage,” it seems, is imaginary. From what I can see, it’s just random people yelling and saying “What, are they going to take The Break-Up off TV forever now because he was POLITE?” and of course not! They should take it off the air because it’s a bad movie.

It all started with … politeness, I guess.

I’m very sorry to have to share this video with you. All of it, every part of it. pic.twitter.com/ELMbDHZbZq

I think part of the problem of Twitter outrage is that it all stems from one person, then breaks into a mess of people wondering how something even started or why we’re supposed to be mad about it in the first place. Vince Vaughn is a Libertarian. In fact, Vaughn has always been a bit of a mess. He once said that schools should have more guns in them to prevent school shootings.

My point being that literally no one is surprised. No one, not even my dead grandparents. They’re probably in the afterlife like, “Yeah, makes sense.” Or better yet, no one is really upset. It’s this anger that Trump supporters think we have. They think we see someone shake hands with the president and suddenly get our pitchforks ready. Not … the case?

And it was made even CLEARER when I went to look for tweets about the situation and found that most of them were just people either asking where the outrage was, showing they were not surprised, or trying to “own some libs” over our hero … Vince Vaughn?

If you listened to the right (never do this), the lefts two biggest icons are Vince Vaughn and Hunter Biden.

Hey Trump haters….are your lives so miserable that when you see him talk to Vince Vaughan you bash him? Grow up #getoverithealready is

Honest question..can someone produce one real person who’s “outraged” at #VinceVaughan? If you have time…thanks..

— jim iuorio (@jimiuorio) January 14, 2020

A lot of liberals just found out Vince Vaughan is a republican. Ruining their hopes and wishes for a Wedding Crashers sequel.

Cue the Left boycotting Vince Vaughan movies because he had a civil conversation with President Trump https://t.co/T7BJTRAuvF

— Dustin Donley (@LegacyClothier) January 14, 2020

everyone I know in super-progressive Brooklyn is so upset by what happened with Vince Vaughn at the college football game (right?) that they can’t or won’t speak about it. it’s eerie. everyone is in such shock it’s like they deleted even the most basic awareness of it.

— Johnny McNulty (@JohnnyMcNulty) January 14, 2020

Anyone who now hates Vince Vaughan for shaking hands with the President of our country is like the driver of this car.. selfish with an extreme lack of self awareness. 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/ftG570GbBJ

— Jeremy (@JeremyRTR) January 14, 2020

Ppl having a meltdown because Vince Vaughan shook Donald Trumps hand 😂😂😂 grow up you absolute moorons! He may or may not agree with Trump’s politics but either way hes being polite and respectful perhaps you should try it sometime instead of having a hissy fit over everything

— lee harwood (@lharwood) January 14, 2020

Congratulations liberals, you’ve caught an American actor respectfully shaking hands with the president of the United States. Good for you Vince Vaughan, your fan base has just grown exponentially. https://t.co/EzQtrujjNb

— Mike (@MichaelAaron91) January 14, 2020

Here is Vince Vaughan having a conversation with the President and now he is being persecuted for it! Speaking civilly to someone whose politics or philosophy you may disagree with shows maturity, not idiocy! Something that portion of our ill minded society just can’t grasp. https://t.co/qujnVLyklw

— Richard Mather (@richemath) January 14, 2020

So at the end of the day … does anyone really care, or do Trump fans think that we’re all crying over Vince Vaughn? Because … we’re truly perfectly fine. I’ll still watch whatever movies I like and go about my day.

We open up with the hottest hero in the game after FINALLY proving his status as the front runner to take the number 1 spot. My guy Mirio Togata aka God Son aka Zap My Powers And I’ll Still Hit You With The Rock Lee Work aka Lemillion da GAWD all poked up and bloodied like filet mignon shish kebab. Eri behind the homie quivering in fear after Mirio laid it all on the line. Overhaul about to fade the Permeation prince, and just when Shang Tsung yells out “FINISH HIM!” our boy Midoriya busts through the wall like the Kool Aid man and saves Togata Senpai right before the final blow.

Mimic gettin put in custody but that doesn’t stop him from being salty as the Dead Sea. He mad as hell at the League of Villains, but really it’s just Twice and Toga, for betraying the Yakuza. His anger gives away all the info that they aint really blending like that.

The Student Becomes The Teacher

All these heroes standing around debating how dangerous it would be if the League was lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on them while Rock Lock is on the ground lookin like Jean Grey on every mission. He asked these fools “WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING” and tells them to get their asses back on the trail of the villains! He stays behind and restrains Joi Irinaka because Toga sliced him up too much to do anything but lock somebody in place and writhe in pain.

Sidebar: This is the man every Manga reader was hype to see in the anime? Why? Because he’s a POC in a popular show? I hope he shows us something dope soon…

While Aizawa and them get back to completing their mission, Rock Lock recalls exactly how much of a hater he was when he found out kids were going to be involved in this Yakuza takedown. And look at them now, stuntin on ayebody they come across!

Oh, and whats this? A little Rock Lock flashback comparing his concern for the UA students to his adorable dark skinned baby being held by his very white wife? Let’s not even go there…Yikes Forever.

Toga and Twice are busy crawling through tight spaces like the start of the Facility level on Goldeneye. Toga talkin’ reckless cuz all she wants to do it make Overhaul cry. They’re in the cut watching the heroes running to Mirio’s rescue. They’ve chosen the “Wait until they wear each other out” strategy, and honestly, I ain’t even mad at the art of war tactics.

Overhaul Under Pressure

Deku breaks into that room with his Vibranium Timbs and cracks Overaul’s forearm with the mean right hook and Sir Nighteye surveys the scene.

Two of Chisaki’s boys are down, Overhaul got knocked back by Deku’s blow, the room is all warped from Overhaul’s battle with..OH. Oh NO. Sir Nighteye finally sets his eyes on the young champion standing on his last legs and consoles him like only a proud father figure can.

Overhaul got his power erased by Aizawa and hates being touched so with that punch from Midorya and no abilities, he turned this shit into Iran drone strike war zone. He told his boy Chronostasis to wake the hell up and put some work in, resulting in Erasurehead getting sliced by his slow mo hand of time attack and Overhaul getting his juice back.

The villain goes Chernobyl on the whole dam room to stop Deku’s attack, forcing Nighteye to retreat with his protege and Erasure to get dropped down to some secret room with Chrono who reveals that Eri is the Shei Hassaikai boss’ granddaughter and that they got plans for his quirk. These dudes giving away all the info. Overhaul’s unconscious boy lands at his feet only to be absorbed by his boss, like Cell slurpin down Android 17. Then he turns into Goro.

Overhaul starts talkin that shit and let’s it be known that he took Lemillion’s power away resulting in a Deku and Nighteye recoiling in anger and confusion. Deku avoids Overhaul’s next attack before Nighteye takes over to punish this boy for taking joy in removing quirks.

Nighteye might have swore to never read someones full future again, but he is down to use his 1 second fortune teller power to get the upper hand in this battle. He’s out her bobbin and weaving, having flashbacks about All Might when he gets hit with the surprise stone acupuncture. in his final moments he looks for the future that he and Mirio want to see but it’s not looking good.

Deku, always the reactionary Shonen protagonist  of our dreams, rushed right in after seeing him get skewered and goes up to 20% full power. He impresses Overhaul but it’s just fueling his desire to beat that ass. Midoriya’s movements were wild stale and he read them shits like a open book, resulting in another body on a stone spire.

We end the episode with Eri succumbing to her guilt and returning to Overhaul in exchange for him putting everyone back to the way they were. Overhaul’s boasting and constant villainous trash talk has Deku fuming. This man rips the stone shards out of his body and promises he wont let anyone die! The roof cracks open, the Dragoon hero and others come flying in and we’re left off with another cliffhanger!

Such an excellent episode. I’m literally googling My Hero things so cautiously it’s not even funny. Will Lemillion ever get his powers back or become relegated to taijutsu? Absolutely love the Mirio and Midoriya parallels that have become so apparent this season.
