And also, when Apocalypse does show up, he’s a powerful, physical threat. He’s not some random melange of grab-bag mutant powers that does whatever the plot needs to (okay, not in the good stories he isn’t)--he’s a massive shapeshifter who can transform his body into weapon after weapon after weapon and beat down…

At least he has experience fighting a team of young adults with extraordinary powers lead by a bald, immobile leader.

Halfway through your post I just had a flash in my mind’s eye of an absolutely brilliant Apocalypse movie sorta like you described, where you really don’t even REALLY see him because the point of the movie is largely preventing his resurrection. Man... that’d have been GREAT!

I remember watching Ex-Machina and thinking “damn, this guy is the perfect casting for Apocalypse” I mean look at the image below, the menace and threat that exuded from his this character. It takes a particular type of stupid to mess this up...

I don’t blame Isaac for the Apocalypse fiasco. I blame writers who clearly had no concept of who Apocalypse was. He was always at his best in a Sauronish role, in the shadows while his Horsemen (and Horsewomen) were like his Ringwraiths. He only stepped in when he needed to. By making him so prominent in the movie,…

Today at work I got asked if I was one of the kids from “take your your ninth grader to work day”. I’m not - I’m in my 30s and in a management position in a professional setting.

When men ask what microaggressions are, this is a good example, because it happens over and over and over. Grace Meng is right on the money. Let’s make this the new normal.

It would be cool if we could stop treating Alex Jones as a hilarious meme instead of an incredibly influential neo-nazi.

Lol, they laugh about you and repeat your little bravado speech in a high pitched voice over lunch, you nerd.

“EMT”

So you’re pretty much admitting your class is hella boring. 

Exactly. I used to get in trouble with this one teacher for doodling while I was in class. Mind you, I was taking notes, paying attention, and responding to class material while I was doodling. I just focus better when my hands are busy, and this teacher could not get that through his head. Dude, it’s not about you.…

Ridiculous and pathetic. Having ones feet up during a lecture does not mean one has a lack of attention. I used to have my feet up whenever possible — and that was back when I had to take notes on paper. Now with laptops there is no need to be sitting straight up over the desk.

The weirdest thing about The Running Man (and that is really saying something) is that the future governors of not one, but two states star in it.

That part was added for the “autoplay” features in social media, so people click and see the rest.

It also gets on my nerves.

Why do trailers have pre-trailers now? I know I’m going to see a trailer. That’s why I clicked on it. I don’t need a 5 second sting telling me that I’m going to see a trailer.

So when a Kansas City restaurant fails its health inspection, does the health department clean out the entire pantry and pour bleach over the contents? Just asking questions.

It makes no sense.  I can give food to a neighbor.  But if the neighbor doesn’t have enough money for a house I can’t.  I think it’s hateful.

I generally agree, but I just think they’re not doing anything to prevent illness in the homeless otherwise so I give a big side-eye with these laws.

I’ve seen some police training videos, and in those, the push seems to be “shoot immediately, or you will be killed”. Emphasizing how quickly someone can aim an fire a gun, and always scenarios where the person is actually a danger, as opposed to covering the case where the officer just murders and innocent by…
