    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Second shot done a couple days ago. No effects other than slightly sore where they stabbed me.

    Falcon and winter solider

    I heard one rumor where Black Panther 2 is set to be after the snap. Thus, no Black Panther. Thus, recasting debate neatly dodged. Now back to Sam and the B, ep 5. I enjoyed it. great struggle getting that shield back from Walker. it was also good to see Sam get back to his problem at home...

    yep, and logically, I think she would have had somebody look in on all the avengers' families, and helped out during the five year blip.

    One benefit of this theory is that Peggy Carter who has dementia or something won't be blabbing about living her life with Steve Rogers during the hospital appearance..

    Falcon and winter solider

    Indeed. Tropes are like terms like climax, inciting incident, denouement. They are jargon about the craft and design patterns of story telling. They exist because these conceptual constructs coalesced as effective models in stories. It is hard to make a good story without these pieces. And...

    Falcon and winter solider

    That's a quibble I have with folks mining the comics for clues in the show. I mean, yes, we know when somebody in the show has the same name from the comics, it'll means something. But it kinda takes the air out of the room when they go on and on about how it'll be. How about we see what...

    Falcon and winter solider

    I've seen two signs that Walker is trouble. Despite ep2 being designed to make Walker look good. 1) he pulled a gun and shot one of the supes. Up until that point, everyone was just wrasslin' 2) at the end of the episode, he told Sam and Bucky to not get in his way with that slight hint of...

    Falcon and winter solider

    This harkens back to the earlier pages about ep 1 and some dude was saying 'well in film class, we were taught if they don't actually say something racist..." This entire series will have stuff that happens to black folk, that isn't going to wear a bedsheet, but shows how it happens.

    Marvel vs DC

    if by "epic" you mean "munchkin", sure. the only reason Batman can beat everybody is because he's written that way. Superman can eyebeam Bruce at will. Flash can zoom by and jam a fork in his eye. DC has a lot of capes. I'm surprised there's not more injuries and accidents due to them. I'm...

    So, Wandavision?

    Americans don't get tried for war crimes or what have you. Another kind of privilege.

    So, Wandavision?

    Yeah, this. I'm struggling with this in my book project. Because it sure seems fishy if the hero gets away with all the things he needs to so he can keep heroing.

    So, Wandavision?

    which would cover the terrible things I've been wondering.

    So, Wandavision?

    That, too. One problem I've pondered is where did snapped people who were in bad places return to. Remember the end credits of Infinity War. Fury is stopped in traffic and a helicopter crashes. The pilot must have snapped. Where does he return to? In mid-air? What about flights. Is it...

    So, Wandavision?

    Also, upsetting a super-person so you can harvest their wingdings when they super-freak out ought to be a crime. That's incitement.

    So, Wandavision?

    and if he wasn't a person, he was the property of Wanda and/or Tony Stark, and Heyward was stealing her property by holding it and vandalizing it by dismantling it. Either way, Crimey Heyward's going to jail. I would have hoped, however, Sir Patrick Stewart would have mounted a social media...
