Yup during Matt Fraction's IRON MAN run one of the subplots IIRC was Stark attempting to develop a renewable energy source that could be mass produced. I think to an extent that Idea made it over to the very beginning of the 1st Avengers movie, as far as creating a renewable energy source. When...

During Jonathan Hickman's epic Fantastic Four run that DID become a major focus for Reed. Unfortunately he got side tracked because the Council of Reed's (a bunch of Reed Richards from alternate timelines) showed why one man (or in this case men) trying to solve all the world's problems...

You're right. I think I stopped listening early I guess during the first campaign. Right around the 80's. This was a few years ago so I might be misremembering but they seemed more focus on keeping the characters in play. I think Scanlon died in one of the last ones that i listened to but was...

Yeah I'm not a fan of that. It's one of the reasons I stopped listening to Critical Role. I know everyone prioritizes the narrative part of the game but for some of us it's also A GAME. It's not a novel or movie and in my preferred style of play? No one has plot armor. I do ALOT to put...

I LOVE Amsterdam. I've been there twice relatively recently. Once in 2018 and then again in 2019. It's a beautiful city and great for just walking. On my second trip I ventured out to Haarlem and Utrecht by train (loved both trips).

Yup THE RAWHIDE KID for Marvel's MAX line in 2000(?)

I grew up in NYC. I've been here all my life. This page is from THE PULSE #3 by Bendis and Bagley The setup is a reporter is going to meet one of her contacts who works in the city morgue. She knows where he's going to be because she knows where he takes his breaks, in a alley behind the...

BECMI: This was my first exposure to D&D. With B2 I absolutely was hooked. 1E: A step up and most of my early D&D was with 1E. D1-3, G1-3, Q1, S1, T1, Temple of Elemental Evil. I loved the adventures! 2E: Played this for a while in a few friends homebrews. Hated the Skills and Powers Splat...

You are wasting your time Sacrosanct. They have no interest in reading the research or arguing in any type of good faith. These are people who do not acknowledge that racism is a problem unless it affects them. Then "Other people" are the real racists. So yeah man thank you for fighting the...

NO. Boot him. I dont understand the problem here. His actions are kind of disrespectful and they know it. This is not the action of a "friend".

Show them the door. Why? Points 1, 3 are problematic but 4 and 5 are big issues and trying to resolve those are going to be a waste of time. If those two points aren't something that this person automatically takes into consideration from the jump? They don't need to be there.

He's controversial and problematic because he's a black person that other right leaning white people can point to and say "Hey look this black guy with a Phd agrees with us so we MUST be right about the state of race in america. and all of these other black people who are on the other side are...

Wait...that wasnt common knowledge? UH OH. Also? I deleted HIT DOG WILL HOLLER thing because its a colloquialism I didn't think people would get it..

Nah, that's not what you were doing and you know it, but keep telling yourself that you're being "scholarly". You look to and examine the past in order not to (hopefully) repeat those mistakes in the future. I push back against and am VERY leery of anyone who says "don't point fingers at the...

Innocuous to whom exactly? Also I'm pretty sure that the meanings of racism and sexism to the people affected by them have remained fairly consistent. This is like the people who defend HP Lovecraft's virulent racism by saying he was a product of his time. NO, even for his time he was a...

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm WAS a theatrical release. I saw it twice on the big screen the weekend it was released.

I like MAN OF STEEL too. I said upthread that it's my favorite DCU movie. It's the only one I own on BluRay (I'm a big proponent of physical media) and to me it's the only one that feels like a COMPLETE movie with a consistent tone and message (despite my feelings about that particular message)...

I'm with you on this one. Superman doesn't WANT to kill. He wont kill casually. Within a certain context he'll put himself in great LIFE THREATENING DANGER to avoid having to kill or cause undue harm to anyone, even an enemy. But when the threat is too great and life will be threatened on an...
