If that's true, then the universe would be in the same position, except, you know, not having all the blipped people restored. Thank goodness Cap isn't in charge of that call.

Tony asked how many versions they won in, and Strange said "one." So no, according the established narrative, Strange had no other option.

I...did not see that at all. I mean, I may have just missed it; the closest I saw was when he was trying to explain SWORD's perspective as a law-enforcement agency.

Yeah, we disagree about her level of understanding after she confronts SWORD midway through the season...I think she knows full well* nothing good is happening to the citizens in the town but she just doesn't care...not compared to her own issues. *Even if she doesn't know, for sure, she's...

I don't think anyone has used the word 'contemptible'...or insinuated anything close to it, really. I also don't think anyone wants to 'burn the witch.' @Hussar can speak for himself, but I don't think anyone thinks this writing of Wanda in Wandavision (and certainly not MoM) is a good...

It's already there for us in our house...to the point that you-know-who showed up in the mid-credits scene and (despite liking the character) we just didn't care. The Illuminati showing up only to leave just as quickly was also underwhelming. It's like the writers believed that the cameo...

Yeah...I don't understand the writing decision to make the fall that egregious only for it to have no real effect on her. If it isn't going to do anything, why not just write that Nat used her acrobatics to save herself?

So, is Joker not a villain, then?

Does this kind of thinking apply to the Joker?

Wanda is not a hero in Wandavision. She's not even heroic; merely stopping the torture that one has begun is not heroic (or else, the bar is pretty low). Talk of her sacrifice seems silly, since her kids weren't real. She sacrificed a delusion. Agatha might be helping people, but she's not...

And that's a game night?

And everyone else at the table does...what, exactly? Just wait for two stubborn people to get over themselves and realize they are all playing a game together?

His preferences don't have to be universal...just in the majority. You seem to use "MCUification" as a pejorative (if so, I agree), but WotC would love for their game to have proportionate success as the MCU. That's actually what they are going for; it's present in the design goals and so now...

Weird confluence of events: I just read this post right after I saw a post from Becca Scott describing SP and SJ as "two of the kindest, most open, loving, and integrated people I have ever met. I am so grateful to call them friends!!!" Universe is weird.

I won't say I can understand why people don't like the change (seems all positive to me), but the more interesting question to me is the (rhetorical?) "Why would WotC upset so many people by doing this? What's the motive?" Well, I can't say for sure what the motive is...but I am sure that it's...

OMG, that's really generous of you...I have a date with my wife, though. If she gets a headache, I'll let you know! :D

So, first of all, thanks to everyone who has answered. Appreciate y'all. I hate being vague, but one of the reasons I was interested in a GNS-type description of the game is because I otherwise can't quite put my finger on why it doesn't seem to be working (or working at 75%, let's say); it's...

Full disclosure: I have not fully read up on what all the various terms mean in GNS Theory, but I am doing so (and interested in doing so, starting with the thread on if 5e is gamist, to the so-called (+) thread about jargon). I have been running a 13th Age game for over a year now, and it's...

I have never played Eberron, so I can't speak on it. DL, though, is more of a deity-based fight just taking place on Krynn, though. While there are gods in GH, that's not the basis for the conflict, really. I don't find the aesthetics from the GH:FtA setting identical to anything else in the...

So, to answer your question: If the setting were at the time of From the Ashes, it's a world at war. Or, more specifically, coming out of a war, and preparing for what will certainly be the Last War. Leaning heavily into that, that would be a vibe that is not in the FR. Good is on the ropes...
