If the children were raised to adulthood, then they and whichever parent/s was/were raising them probably counts as a 'family' however the children were conceived.

Word. If Marvel Studios had control of Spider-Man and X-Men, we'd never get the breadth of movies we have now, much less the hope of more in the future. Why even take a chance on Thor when you have the license to print money that is Wolverine?

Wolves, domestic dogs, and coyotes all interbreed. I guess the species divisions for canines are just ... fuzzy.

The fact that it's still found a lot (due to durability) does not convince me that agate was used by the lower social strata in the ancient world. Besides, I'm sure cheap-ass pottery shards outweigh agate by several orders of magnitude in archaeological sites.

Sure, nowadays. Stone carving was a bit more time- and labor-intensive back in the day. Poor folk didn't have stuff like that lying around.

A cup carved out of agate is a few steps up from simple.

Agate is not 'just' stone; it is a semi-precious gem. A cup made out of the stuff would still be more fancy than a penniless itinerant preacher would probably be carrying around.

You ... you think that means the laughter is somehow ... genuine?

Is there anything in the character of Black Cat that would distinguish her to movie-going audiences as something besides 'Catwoman, but from Marvel'?

I am shocked, shocked that someone interested in working in the fashion industry is sexist, classist dickbag.

You know, there's a big difference between a sloth and a sloth bear, in that one of them is a South American primate, and the other is a fucking BEAR.

And that would be … bad ...

This is the most compelling argument for Ghostbusters 3 that I have ever come across.

The people in charge of the movies are clearly not the people in charge of the show, for all that they answer to the same bosses.

Stan is the stoned grizzly bear. Harry is the creeper in the glasses.

Is it terrible that the longer I live, the more I hate Batman? He's such a dang Mary Sue.

Stuff like this makes me wish I could get in to actually reading comics ...

He needs to stop that.

I agree with everything you said. I tuned in mainly for Sif, and came away thinking she deserved much better.

As far as I could see, the only reason Ward acted the way he did was so that the episode could proceed as scripted.
