When someone has a billion dollars, that pretty much means they are accruing money far, far faster than they can spend it.

Hey, they’re doing that thing the comics do, where it gets too convoluted and confusing to follow for anyone who isn’t a dedicated fan! 

Fury shot Ned with a dart gun.

Let’s think about this: Mysterio (who is a villain, because A. he’s Peter Parker’s mentor and B. duh) is lying about being from another dimension.

The original timeline and the Old Cap timeline both feature a moment in 2023 when the Hulk turns on a time machine to send young Cap back with the infinity stones. In the Old Cap timeline, though, Old Cap is there to witness the event.

Also, most AAA games today pull their visuals from cinema, and then stretch the stories to 10 hours worth of gameplay. Keeping the visual tone is easy, but cramming a video game plot into 2 hours is insane.

Republicans know that even if the worst case global warming predictions come true, rich people will be fine. They can afford to go to ski lodges that drop artificial powder, eat $90 steaks, and live on regularly irrigated estates with massive AC bills.

They loaned the Monarchy of the Seven Kingdoms money. That debt technically belongs to Westeros, and whoever sits on the throne is responsible for paying it back.

Well, yeah. The need to sustain that level of disbelief is kind of why I stopped reading superhero comics.

That’s what he means by weirdness. You could pull off a movie in which the main character is a mute blank who doesn’t really do anything but whack aliens with a crowbar, but it would have to be half-arthouse, instead of a by-the-numbers tentpole.

Half the damn appeal of Game of Thrones is how George R. R. Martin keeps doing “the thing that’s not supposed to happen.”

Because they know that it would be fairly impossible to extract money from a ruler with dragons.

A wight smashed to pieces by horse hooves is as good as dead. The idea was to kill off a sizable portion of the wight army before it reached the walls.

The ground is frozen. That would be like digging through brick.

It really seemed like the main danger from the wight army was being crushed or suffocated.

I’m more excited for a pretty inevitable Brienne/Bronn face-off than for CleganeBowl.

It boggles me that Flubber there has had so many college students standing around in his house, and not one of them has told him to fuck his fat, dumb, racist self.

Because Batman can’t legally arrest anyone or serve as witness, and it would be impossible to find any impartial juries for such celebrity criminals. Much tidier to just have a doctor certify their insanity and lock them up.

Bronn gives it the old college try, and is minced by Brienne. The ultimate showdown between cynicism and honor.

Dany leaves Tyrion behind in Winterfell, as she and Jon and the remainder of their forces head to King’s Landing to do battle. It’s unsatisfyingly brutish, and ends with massive casualties on both sides.
