    Transformers Kingdom - What did you Think

    I finished it last night. Um. It's a muddled mess. Conclusions leapt to, without enough connective information. Gorrilla guy says a couple nouns and slams on the console, and they're calling him a genius. On the one end, it's trek technobabble, on the other, it should form a coherent...

    Transformers Kingdom - What did you Think

    I'm not sure which one that is, but I assume it's the latest War For Cybertron entry that came out. I like the series, but I loathe how netflix makes each one a new title instead of releasing them under the same series identifier. This makes me have to tag it each time a new batch comes out...

    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    I'm about 3 episodes in. I like it. They went a lot further with the fact that these are people fighting and actually hurt or kill people. Is this marketed toward kids? Let's think about that seriously for a minute, because I suspect the guy crying on page 1 doesn't get how kids work. Kids...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    isn't that basically what we been saying the whole. Wear a mask. It's simpler than doing math.

    Marvel TV Schedule: what are you excited about?

    Mostly, I'd like a solid schedule of content on Friday nights. Right when pandemic started, a friend moved out east. Every friday night, we talk, watch the new show and then talk about the show. Most of the time, we've got latest episode to talk about. So that's what I look forward to.

    What’s the fastest spaceship?

    Perhaps what's needed is a better delineation between ships that make the contest moot (no real limit to travel) vs. those that don't (some kind of distance/time constraint). Literally hopping to anywhere everwhen ala the Tardis or Heart of Gold, is in the former group. Ships that teleport hop...

    Loki! (spoiler thread)

    only for Owen to be replaced by a different actor when the time comes.

    Black Widow

    No, Hulk is the special needs kid and you don't handle them the same way. The rest of the team isn't normally causing massive collateral damage with their own powers. Punching, shooting bullets and arrows hasa limited area of effect in comparison.

    Black Widow

    that would make it worse, actually. As a small shop, without even multiple bays and doors, you know this is bare bones. Stealing a car from the small mechanic means he's gonna be liable to the car owner, who might be finger breaky. Still not cool. Heroes stealing from jerks or unseen owners is...

    Black Widow

    dude. when has insurance EVER put a man back to where he was? Never. They will screw him down to a low pay out and he'll be in a Geo Metro because that's all he can afford with the payout. That is P's point. She didn't pick a prick to rob. She picked a good family man who has a nice car...

    Black Widow

    another good question. Can you imagine fighting for Thanos thinking "yeah, this is gonna rock!" and then snap and oh crap, half the people on my team disappeared, too. I suppose there's art imitating life there as well.

    Black Widow

    no, I don't think he did. I don't think he even understood the problem. There's only so much matter in the universe, and only so much of that is the right kind to be food or people. There's a built in limit. The reason people were suffering was cuz people like him had all the wealth as...

    Loki! (spoiler thread)

    Giving this a little bit of thought, maybe that's not right. try this out: Pre threshold, there's a single time line because the TVA prunes the branches. As such, the TVA may be indistinguishable from being part of the timeline or outside of it. If it was outside, it would behave like it had...

    Black Widow

    Saw it yesterday in a theatre of 6 people counting us. daytime, weekday first showing bonus :) I prefer empty theaters for watching. A friend pointed out that this should have come out between Avengers 3 & 4. Perhaps sans the cut scene at the very end. Or between winter and A3, making room...

    Loki! (spoiler thread)

    You're on to something. Where was Musical Loki? There should have been a song and dance number or an attempt to start one.

    Loki! (spoiler thread)

    Good times. My pet theories that are wrong: Alioth was one of the lizard people and the TVA was how he setup a chow line. Also, Aligator Loki is one the earliest Loki, before humanity crawled out of the sea. Mobius still has no jetski. he should have gotten one to pick up Silvie on.

    What podcasts do you listen to (and why?)

    No pods for me either. I don't have a commute and I can't listen to words while I'm trying to think for a living. podcasts sound cool and all, I just don't have it in me to sit and listen to them.

    Loki! (spoiler thread)

    Why didn't Silvie kill Ravonna so Rav wouldn't be able to Prune Loki moments later? Why was Loki kinda meh on fighting? Why didn't B15 kill Ravonna during her fight? Why didn't getting pruned kill Loki? Is that what really happens to every Prunee? Why didn't Loki and Silvie jitterslap...

    Air Conditioner Madness (What do you set yours at?)

    Here in hot Houston, we run at 70F during the day, 66F at night. In the winter, we have it off and the windows open to bring in that nice cold air.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Wearing one is not going to hurt you. and the mask does reduce catching (or spreading) all sorts of stuff, not just covid.
